问题     Some people would say that their Englishman’s home is no
longer their castle; that it has become his workshop. This is partly           【S1】______
because on the average Englishman is keen on working with his                  【S2】______
hand and partly because he feels that for one reason and another, he           【S3】______
must do for himself many household jobs which, some years ago,
he would hired professional help. The main reason for this is                  【S4】______
financial one: the high cost of labor has meant that builders’ and             【S5】______
decorators’ costs have reached to a level which makes them                     【S6】______
prohibitive for the house-proud Englishman of modest mean. So, if              【S7】______
he wishes to keep his house looking bright and smart, he must
tackle some of the repairs and decorating by himself. As a result,
there has grown up in the post-war years what was sometimes we                 【S8】______
referred to as the "Do-It-Yourself Movement".
    The "Do-It-Yourself Movement" began with home-decorating
but has since spread into a much wide field Nowadays there seem                【S9】______
to be very few things that cannot be made by the "do-it-yourself"
methods. A number of magazines and handbooks exist to show
hopeful handymen of all age just how easy it is to build something             【S10】______
from like a coffee table to a fifteen-foot sailing boat. [br] 【S4】
