试题解析:本文大意：DIY的意思就是自己动手做，在英国非常受欢迎，在很多商店和超市出售DIY产品，电视也播如何DIY的节目。如果在家周围有什么事情需要修理，例如刷墙或安淋浴，他们会自己做。他们和朋友分享DIY经验。越来越多的人喜欢DIY，并发现了DIY的乐趣。很多前买不起大房子，就想如何能不花很多钱建更好的房子。有一个大家具市场，需要人们自己用一些工具把家具组装起来。有时候指令简单、清楚，但家具本身难以组装。据报道在英国组装时一年就有超过23万人受伤，包括从梯子上掉落。DIY能给我们带来很多乐趣，能帮我们省一些钱，但是如果我们做太难的事情，并不总是如我们认为的那样简单。也许工厂应该生产对于我们来说更容易更安全的产品。
