三、任务型阅读(每小题2分, 共20分)

We throw away many things every day, though some of them can get a new life after a simple repair. The trouble is, lots of people have forgotten that they can repair things themselves or they no longer know how. It's a skill quickly lost.

Repair Cafes change all that! They are free meeting places about repairing things together. In the cafe, there are tools and materials to help visitors repair anything, on clothes, furniture, bikes, toys and so on. Volunteers are there to give them a hand. If they have nothing to repair, they can enjoy a cup of tea or coffee, or they can help with someone else's repair job. They can also get ideas at the reading table by reading books on repairs and DIY.

Matt Brewer is the director (负责人) of a Repair Cafe. Also, he is a teacher at a high school. In his eyes, being a teacher not only means teaching students to get high scores in exams, but also means passing some important life skills on to them. Some of his students study many different skills and try to make broken things work again by themselves in his Repair Cafe. Zander and Chase are two of them.

Recently, Zander and Chase helped an old lady repair a telephone. The phone was so old that the two had never known it, but that didn't stop the repair team. Brewer taught them to use the tools and then they fixed the telephone. When the old lady told them the phone was nice to use, they were both happy. “It's fun to learn how to repair things, ” Zander said.

“That's the point of the Repair Cafe, ” Brewer said. “These kids are learning valuable life skills”

六、范文:

Father's birthday is coming, so I decided to put up a bookshelf on the wall of the study for my father because he loves reading.

I bought the materials online. My best friend Daniel is good at DIY and he is helpful. He came to help me and brought some tools. We read the instructions first and quickly started to work. It took us only an hour to finish the work. I made some mistakes during that time. Daniel taught me how to use the tools correctly. We had fun working together. We also painted the bookshelf blue.

I believe my father will like my present.

【作文点评】本文用“总分总法”写DIY的过程。首先, 表明制作的对象——bookshelf。接下来详细描述DIY过程。最后写对这次DIY的感受——“I believe my father will like my present. ”。文章结构合理, 逻辑清楚。
