Question

【题目】When the Americans are at home， they usually enjoy spending their free time on all kinds of DIYs (do it yourself).Maybe this is a little different from our Chinese people. When we Chinese are at home， we would like to enjoy ourselves by watching TV or receiving our friends. But American people like spending their time in doing some kind of work on their own. They believe it to be helpful and interesting.

In their eyes， DIYs will not only help them to develop their brains but also save them much time. For a very little job， they will need to think twice before carrying it out well. This will certainly do much good to their brains and make them brighter and brighter.

Some Americans live far away from the service centre（服务中心）. When something goes wrong， they will have to wait for a long time before finding the right service. In these cases， they would also love to manage by themselves. So in American， DIYs are very popular. There are a lot of newspapers on them， even books and websites

【解析】

试题分析：短文大意：当美国人在家里的时候，他们通常通过制作各种DIYs来度过他们的休闲时间而我们中国人在家里的时候，我们会通过看电视或欢迎朋友来家里（玩）来度过愉快的时光，但是美国人喜欢花费时间自己来做各种工作，他们相信这将是有益且有趣的。在他们眼中，DIYs不仅能开发他们的智力，还能节约他们大量的时间。对于一个非常小的工作，他们需要在很好的解决之前再三思考，这将能在很大程度上提高他们的智力并使他们更加的聪明。

【1】根据短文中So in American， DIYs are very popular.可知在美国，DIY是非常流行的，所以填写DIYS。

【2】根据短文开头When the Americans are at home， they usually enjoy spending their free time on all kinds of DIYs (do it yourself).可知当美国人在家里的时候，他们通常通过制作各种DIYs（自己制作的工艺品或小玩意）来度过他们的休闲时间，所以填写themselves。

【3】根据文中When we Chinese are at home， we would like to enjoy ourselves by watching TV or receiving our friends. 可知我们中国人在家里的时候会通过看电视或欢迎朋友来家里（玩）来度过愉快的时光，所以填写receiving。

【4】根据第二段中In their eyes， DIYs will not only help them to develop their brains but also save them much time可知在美国人眼中，DIYs不仅能开发他们的智力，还能节约他们大量的时间。 所以填写save。

【5】根据文中Some Americans live far away from the service centre（服务中心）. When something goes wrong， they will have to wait for a long time before finding the right service可知一些美国人居住处远离服务中心，当他们的某物坏了时需要等好长时间，所以填写wait。
