【解析】

英国人特别喜欢DIY。其中一个重要的原因是DIY能够省钱，因此DIY特别流行。但是DIY是有危险的，很多人还没意识到。据报道，在英国每年都有上千人因为做DIY而受伤。本文介绍了DIY，以及DIY在英国流行的原因，同时也提出了一些DIY存在的问题。

【1】句意：如果在他们的房子周围有任何东西需要修理或装饰，比如粉刷房子或者安装新的淋浴……

or连接两个并列成分，or后面为putting in a new shower，此空也为动名词。paint的动名词为painting。故填painting。

【2】句意：……他们都可能会自己做这个工作。

根据音标[prbbli]可知是probably，probably为副词，此处修饰动词。故填probably。

【3】句意：越来越多的人表现出对DIY的兴趣。

an后面接可数名词单数，并且单词音标由元音音素开头。show an interest in 表示“显示对……的兴趣”。故填interest。

【4】句意：有时人们DIY为了省钱。

in order to do sth.表示“为了做某事”，此空为动词原形。save money表示“省钱”。故填save。

【5】句意：他们试着在他们付不起费用的时候找到能够让房子变得更好的办法。

此句是when引导的状语从句，从句中缺少谓语动词。can’t为情态动词，后接动词原形。根据首字母提示以及the cost“花费”可知用afford。afford表示“付得起”。故填afford。

【6】句意：因此DIY非常流行并不让人吃惊。

it is +adj+从句表示“……是……的”。surprise的形容词形式有surprised和surprising。surprised用来形容人，surprising用来形容物或者事情。故填surprising。

【7】句意：一些说明书很简单、清楚，但是家具本身是很难建造的。

but作连词，表示转折关系。根据上句“一些说明书很简单、清楚”，可推测家具本身是很困难的。itself表示“它自己”，指代the furniture。故填itself。

【8】句意：DIY也可以是危险的。

根据音标[dendrs]可知此空是dangerous，表示“危险的”，即形容词作表语。故填dangerous。

【9】句意：不幸的是，很多人都不在意这个。

此空提示luck为名词，表示“运气”。空后有逗号，可知此空应为副词，修饰整个句子。结合many people don't care about that.可知副词意思应为“不幸地”，即unluckily。故填Unluckily。

【10】句意：据报道仅仅一年在英国就会有上千人在做DIY的时候受伤……

It作形式主语，真正的主语是that引导的从句。因此从句与report的关系是被动的，report表示“报道”，被动形式是reported。故填reported。

How to survive a disaster? Most survivors says that nothing felt, sounded or looked the way they would have expected. Reality was in some ways better, in other ways w【1】. They say there are things they wish they had known.

On September 28, 1994, a ship called the Estonia sank, which was the worst sea disaster in modern European h【2】. Kent was then a 29-year-old passenger. He was hanging out in the bar with some other passengers that night. Suddenly, the ship list to 30, hurling passengers across its passageways. Kent began to act at once. “I started to react very differently from normal. I started to say, ‘Oh， the boat is sinking.’ ”Like many survivors, Kent experienced a state in which the brain focuses on the individual experience, “I just say my small world.”

But as Kent made his way into the corridor, he noticed something strange. Not just one or two passengers, but entire groups seemed unable to m【3】. They were conscious (有意识的), but they were not reacting.

In the case of the Estonia and other diseases, the freezing response may have been a natural and horrible m【4】. Under extreme stress, our brains search for a proper survival response and sometimes choose the wrong one. But the more encouraging point is that the brain is plastic. It can be trained to respond more properly. If we can r【5】 our own fear even a little bit, we might be able to do better.

Fire drills, particularly if they are unexpected, can dramatically reduce fear. Knowing where the stairs are in a building can give your brain an a【6】. Safety drills give our brains blueprints in the unlikely event that we need them. We can also help each other do better. Many flight attendants are now rained to scream at passengers in burning planes, “Get out! Go!” People r【7】 well to leadership in a disaster, and then they can do remarkable things.

【题目】 A blog posted Dec 7, 2018 at 12:17 PM by Alanna Mallon Alanna Mallon is a Cambridge City Councilor.

Each year in November, I receive a lot of emails and texts from friends who want to volunteer with their families on Thanksgiving as a way to give back. I also field phone calls from organizations who want to donate ( 捐赠 ) to local programs that provide Thanksgiving meals.

However, as an official who still works in the nonprofit sector (非盈利部门), I also feel deeply anxious (焦急的) because I know the other 51 weeks of the year, these key programs that provide food to residents (居民) in need are eager for both volunteers and donations. Hunger is a year round problem, and each week volunteers are the necessary part to make sure that programs are able to serve the community.

At Food For Free, we depend on about 100 volunteers per week, and each of those volunteers is extremely important to providing fresh, healthy food to people in the Greater Boston area who need it. School children who take backpacks of food home on Fridays, community college students who depend on our Family Meals program to support their healthy growth, elderly and disabled residents who receive twice monthly deliveries of food to their doors through our Home Delivery program, they all depend on us making sure enough volunteers show up to do the work.

These volunteers don't show up in your social media system, they don't win prizes and no one writes about them in the local newspapers. But they are heroes. And you can be too. If everyone made a promise to volunteer once a month, or even once a quarter, I know that we could reduce some of the anxiety these organizations feel, as a more trust-worthy volunteer network allows them to focus on helping people, not filling volunteer positions.

Here is a list of a few organizations who are doing important work in Cambridge to make sure the food to be safe. Offer your time to an organization, they will be deeply grateful, and I am quite sure that you will feel pretty good about yourself too.
