Recently, I visited my former classmate Leo in his new home, where he lives with his wife and daughter. Nowadays, he would like to spend his 1. hholidays and weekends making his house look more beautiful. Like hundreds of thousands of other British people, he has found the 2. jjoy of DIY home repairs. This means that if anything needs 3. ffixing around the house, he will try to do the job himself.
Leo showed me his new kitchen that he put together himself, and his newly painted walls. I asked him 4. wwhere he got the idea to do these things. He told me that it came from a DIY programme on TV.
This got me to think about how 5. ppopular DIY programmes are in the UK. Each channel(频道)has at least one home or garden makeover(翻新)show. Some channels are 6. eeven completely talking about the subject.
I don't think it's really 7. ssurprising that DIY programmes are so welcomed by people. There are two common British sayings—“an 8. EEnglishman's home is his castle” and “there's no place like home”—which show how 9. iimportant their houses are to them. With the economic(经济的)changes, many people don't have enough money to buy bigger houses than before. So they are looking at how they can make their houses 10. bbetter without spending a lot of money. DIY, obviously, is the perfect choice.

答案： 1. holidays 2. joy 3. fixing 4. where 5. popular 6. even 7. surprising 8. Englishman's 9. important 10. better
