【解析】文章分別對DIY介紹、DIY在英國流行的原因、DIY困難甚至危險的原因進行了分析，進而對DIY提出了合理的建議。

【1】spend some time (in) doing sth

【2】If there is anything ___2___ needs repairing or decorating around their homes, 先行詞anything，定語從句中缺少主語，故填關系代詞that。

【3】they will do the jobs ___3___(they). 由語境可知：他們將自己做這些工作。所以填they的反身代詞themselves。

【4】They share DIY experience____4____their friends. 固定搭配：share sth with sb和某人分享某物。

【5】常用句型 ：find+it+adj+to do sth是簡單句。其中 it 是形式賓語，真正的賓語是后面的動詞不定式。故填寫to build 。

【6】because they can’t understand the directions（說明書)____6____(good) .修飾謂語動詞understand，用副詞well。

【7】DIY can also be ____7____(danger).be動詞后面用形容詞，故填dangerous。

【8】___8____(unlucky), many people don’t care about this warning and put themselves in danger. 用副詞Unluckily 作狀語修飾后面總個句子。

【9】It is reported that thousands of people____9____(hurt) while doing DIY in the UK last year.由語境可知是被動的關系，再結合last year，用一般過去時被動語態(tài)were hurt。

【10】DIY can bring us fun and help us save money, ___10___it is not always as easy as it is thought to be. 前句說 DIY能給我們帶來樂趣和幫助我們省錢。后句所說它并不總是被認為的那么容易；明顯是轉折關系，故填but。
