四、信息还原(共 5 小题；每小题 2 分,满分 10 分)
Do-it-yourself projects let you design your house, providing a way to save money, but even with step-by-step instructions, DIY doesn’t always go as planned. Nearly 80% of homeowners make a mistake while doing DIY. 41
Taking on Too Much
More than 40% of people find DIY projects more difficult and expensive than they thought. Bailey Carson, a home care expert, said, “ 42 It’s important to think about why you want to DIY, and what you hope to get out of it. Without the time, tools, and skills to do it correctly and safely, mistakes may cost you more than simply paying others to help.”
43
A third of people used the wrong tool for a DIY project. Many tools are designed for special uses and materials, so if you use them for other tasks, you may get hurt. Always use the proper tools for each project, and make sure you know how to use them.
Not Safety First
44 Of the people surveyed who once made a big mistake during their DIY projects, 47% said that the mistake led to serious problems; for example, 44% reported incidents such as starting a fire or falling off a roof or ladder. Take your time and follow all safety rules when using tools to protect yourself.
Skipping(跳过) Important Steps
Skipping a key step can end your whole DIY project. And you might not know it until much later. In the survey, 47% of people said that they had finished a DIY project before knowing it was done wrong. 45 And make sure you have the necessary(必要的) skills to complete each step.
