一、阅读理解
Leonardo da Vinci, the great artist and inventor, used DIY to explore the world. As a boy, he filled his sketchbooks with drawings of birds, plants, and even imaginary machines. He didn’t just copy others—he observed closely and drew what he saw. Once, he tied small feathers to his hand to study how birds fly, writing notes about their wing movements in his messy script. He also designed a “flying machine” with flapping wings, long before airplanes existed.
Da Vinci’s DIY spirit showed that creativity comes from curiosity and hands-on work. His sketchbooks weren’t just art—they were records of a mind always asking, “What if?” So, whether you’re drawing, building, or experimenting, remember: every big idea starts with a small, curious step.
