五、阅读理解。（2025·江苏泰州·期中）
①DIY, short for “Do It Yourself”, has become a global trend. It means creating, repairing, or improving things by oneself instead of buying new items or paying someone to do them. DIY projects can be very different, from making home decorations to fixing broken furniture.
②First, DIY helps save money. Instead of spending a lot on new products or services, people can use their skills and creativity to make things at a lower cost. For example, repainting old furniture or sewing a handmade bag is much cheaper than buying new ones.
③Second, DIY enhances creativity and problem-solving skills. When working on a project, people often need to think creatively to find solutions. This not only makes the brain more active but also brings a sense of achievement once the task is completed.
④Moreover, DIY is environmentally friendly. By reusing and recycling materials, we reduce waste and help protect the planet. For instance, turning glass jars into flower vases or using old clothes to make tote bags can minimize unnecessary trash.
⑤In conclusion, DIY is a rewarding activity that saves money, boosts creativity, and benefits the environment. Whether it’s a small craft or a big home improvement project, the joy of creating something with your own hands is truly priceless. So why not start a DIY project today?
