Do It Yourself
"Do it yourself (DIY)" is a term used to describe building or repairing of something without the aid of
experts. It came into common usage in the 1950s in reference to home improvement projects which
people might choose to complete independently. 1 It promotes the ability of the ordinary person to
learn to do more than what he thinks is possible.
From the late 20th century, we have given in to the convenience of being told the "right way" to do
things because it is convenient. 2 We have organized shopping, organized entertainment, and even
organized marriage. With the development of industrial revolution, we have had our clothes and furniture
made with the help of the machine. Our food supply has left our backyards and ventured (冒险) into the
factory. Things get cheaper and easier to find, but we buy as one and eat as one.
DIY culture holds a powerful belief: 3 That statement may seem like the DIY movement is quite
self-centered, but there is great evidence that the opposite is true. By creating with our own minds and
hands, by relying on what has come before and projecting what will be, we have become open to many
possibilities. 4
People can both create to serve their own needs and find the value in what others create. In other
words, we can both learn how to make what we desire ourselves and consume goods made by others.
5 But the joy of DIY culture is how we begin to find our interconnectedness, for example, our talents
of swimming and skating with the talents of others in our community.

| Gift Giving 1.______ There are many occasions (场合) for giving gifts in modern industrialized societies: birthdays, naming ceremonies, weddings, anniversaries, New Year. It is common to give gifts on many of these celebrations in western cultures. In addition, special events, such as one's first day of school or graduation from university, often require gift giving. 2.______ What is happening when we give gifts? Most important, we are exchanging gifts. If someone gives me a gift for my birthday, I know that I am usually expected to give one on his or her next birthday. A gift builds up or confirms a social obligation (义务). 3.______ Gifts tighten personal relationships and provide a means of communication between loved ones. People say that a gift lets the recipient (接受者) know we are thinking of them, and that we want to make the person "feel special." We want people to feel wanted, to feel part of our social or family group. We give presents to say "I'm sorry." Sometimes it is difficult for us to find a present that someone will like. Sometimes we give things that we like or would feel comfortable with. In all these cases, the gifts are sending out messages-often very expressive ones. 4.______ People tend to talk about presents in a fairly loving way. A woman whose mother had died years ago described the many gifts around her house. These were gifts that her mother had given her over the years:"I appreciate these, and they mean something to me," the woman said, "because I remember the occasions they were given on, and that they were from my mother, and the relationship we've had." The gifts remain and keep the relationship alive in mind. This woman felt the same way about the gifts she gave to others. She hoped that the recipients would look at her gifts in years to come and remember her. 5.______ Emotions (情感) like these suggest that a positive spirit still lies behind gift giving. They prove that the anthropologist Claude Levi-Strauss was wrong to say that modern western gift giving is highly wasteful. Studies in Canada and elsewhere have also shown that this is not the case. Each gift is unique even if so many are given. The emotional benefit for those who exchange gifts is the very reason for the tradition to continue. |
