1任務(wù)型閱讀 閱讀短文,按要求完成各題。

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

2) English people like DIY. There is a saying in UK----“As Englishman’s home is his castle”. Huge numbers of people spend their holidays making their homes beautiful “castles”. If there is anything that needs fixing around their homes, such as painting the walls or putting in a new shower, they will do the jobs themselves. They share DIY experience 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 cannot afford a big 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.

3) DIY can be difficult. There is a huge market for DIY furniture which people need to get 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. Many of them may not get finished. DIY can also be dangerous. For example, anything electrical 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.

4) 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.

     Can plants eat people? Probably not, but there are many plants that eatmeat. Some of them are big,
and they can eat small animals. One famous meat-eating plant is the Venus flytrap.
     The Venus flytrap is a very strange plant. It grows in dry parts of the United States. Its leaves are like
the pages of a book. 3. They can open and close very quickly. Inside the leaves. there are three small
hairs. If an insect touches one of the hairs, the leaf closes quickly. The insect cannot get out. In about half
an hour,the leaf presses the insect until it is dead. Then, the plant covers. the insect with a special liquid
(液體). Slowly, the plant eats the insect.
     Plants arc living things that have leaves and roots and grow in earth.
     4. Most of them get energy from the sun, the air, and the ground. In some places,the ground is very
poor. It doesn't have all the important things that plants need, especially nitrogen (氦). Animal meat has a
lot of nitrogen, so some plants eat meat to get what they need. Let's hope that some of the bigger plants
don't get the same idea!

     A group of frogs were traveling through the woods, and two of them fell into a deep hole. When the
 other frogs saw how deep the hole was, they told the two frogs that they were almost dead. The two frogs
  ignored (不理) the comments and tried to jump up out of the hole. The other frogs kept telling them to
  stop, and that they were almost dead. Finally, one of the frogs gave up. He fell down and died.
      The other frog continued to jump as hard as he could. Once again, the crowd of frogs shouted at him
  to stop the pain and just die. He jumped even harder and finally made it out. When he got out, the other
 frogs said, "Did you not hear us?" The frog explained to them that he was deaf. He thought they were
 encouraging him the whole time.
     This story teaches two lessons:
      1. There is power of life and death in the tongue. An encouraging word to someone who is down can
 lift them up and help them make it through the day.
      2. A destructive (毀滅性的) word to someone who is down can be what it takes to kill them.
     Be careful of what you say. Speak life to; those who cross your path. The power of words, It is
 sometimes hard to understand that an encouraging word can go such a long way. Anyone can speak
 words that tend to rob another of the spirit to continue in difficult times. Special is the one who will take
 the time to encourage another."

    Cellphones help us easily find people anywhere at any time. However, using cellphones too often may cause cancer. It's reported that people who used a cellphone for 10 years or more were more likely to get brain cancer.

    The suggestions below may help you reduce the risk (風(fēng)險(xiǎn)) of cancer:

◆ When using your cellphone, try to keep it away from your body as much     as possible. Don't put it under your pillow (枕頭) or on a bedside table     when you go to sleep.

◆ When you're on the cellphone, use the speaker. In this way, you have just     1/100th of the contact (接觸) with radiation you have when you hold it to     your ear. An earphone is also a good idea.

◆ Try to keep your conversations short. If you need to talk longer, use an ordinary phone     instead.

◆ Change ears when you're using your cellphone. Before putting it to your ear, wait until the     person you are calling picks up the phone.

◆ Your phone gives out radiation when you talk or text (發(fā)短信), but not when you're listening     or getting messages. Listening more and talking less can lower the risk of cancer.

◆ Do not use your cellphone when the signal (信號(hào)) is weak or when moving at a high speed,     for example in a car or train. At high speeds your phone is trying to pick up signals, and this     increases the radiation it gives out.

任務(wù)型閱讀:根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容,填寫下列表格。(10分)
