七、閱讀短文，根據(jù)短文內容回答問題。

DIY, which means Do It Yourself, is quite popular in UK. Lots of stores and supermarkets sell DIY things. TV programmes show people how to DIY.

English people like DIY. There is a saying in UK –“An Englishman’s home is his castle”. Lots of people spend their holidays making their homes beautiful “castles”. If there is anything that needs fixing around their houses, such as painting the walls or putting in a new shower, they will do the jobs themselves. They share DIY experiences with their friends. More and more people have discovered the joy of DIY. Sometimes people also DIY for saving money. With the economic downturn at present, many people can not afford to buy a bigger house. They are looking at how they can make their house better without spending a lot of money. It is not surprising that DIY is so popular.

DIY can be difficult. There is a huge market for DIY furniture which people need to put together themselves with a few basic tools. However, people often find it not easy to build a piece of furniture because they can’t understand the instructions. Sometimes the instructions are simple and clear, but the furniture itself is difficult to build. One thing is for sure, though most DIY projects are started with the best intentions (意愿), many of them may not get finished. DIY can also be dangerous. For example, anything electrical (電子的) should be done by a professional worker. Unluckily, many people don’t care about this warning and put themselves in danger. It is reported that in just one year over 230,000 people were hurt while doing DIY in UK, including 41,000 who fell off ladders.

Therefore, DIY can bring us fun and help us save money, but it is not always as easy as it is thought to be if we bite off more than we can chew. Maybe factories should make products that are easier and safer for us to DIY.

Mother's Day

When I was in the third grade, Mother’s Day came around much too quickly; I found myself empty-handed with nothing to give my ____ on her special day. So I was ______ when an announcement over the loud speaker said that one of the older graders would be selling pins that said “No.1 Mom”. It may not sound like much, but to an 8-year-old, it’s perfect.

So each day I told myself that the following day I would______ the money to buy the pin, but I always forgot. And I was very disappointed when the principal and a few of the older kids selling pins came into my classroom and announced that it was the_____________day to buy them.

I was always afraid of my principal. If you stepped out of line, she was quick to set you straight. On this day, however, my principal was in a good mood. And she must have heard me tell my classmates I’d forgotten my______again. I wasn’t__________, but she knew I really wanted to buy a pin.

After she left, I got called to her office. I’d never been there – ever – so I was terrified. When I arrived, she told me to come to her desk, and she pulled out the pin I’d had my eye on for ___________. “The kids gave me this to give to my mother,” she began, “but my mom passed away, so I want you to have it.”

Taking the pin, I didn’t know what to say. I probably thanked her. I proudly presented this free luxury to my mother.

I don’t know if my mom still has the pin, and I don’t know if the principal remembers giving it to me. But I will never forget that act of__________from someone I’d never expected it from.

1.A. mother B. classmate C. principal D. friend

2.A. bored B. interested C. excited D. surprised

3.A. borrow B. bring C. collect D. save
