2013 年英语专业四级阅读理解模拟试题及参考答案
This year, like lots of other people, I'm going to try to make my own Christmas presents. It's not
the first time that I've promised myself this. Being a milliner, and an all-round crafty type, I've
often thought I should put my money where my mouth is. But this year I'm really going to stick to
it. It's partly that I'm short of cash, but also that I've recently returned from an inspiring trip around
Britain, looking into "make do and mend" for BBC2's Newsnight.
I dreamed up the trip a few months ago. The thought of traveling the country--making things as I
went, meeting artists and craftspeople--sounded like the perfect way to spend the summer. I'd pack
a tent and a sewing machine and off I'd go. But by the time I finalized my plans and hit the road,
leaves were already crunching under foot. It seemed crazy to camp with winter on the way;
instead, Newsnight viewers offered me board and lodging in return for help with a craft task.
There was an overwhelming response.
My tasks ranged from darning (缝补 ) a moth-eaten monk's jumper to making trousers for a stilt
walker. Textile students in Harpenden offered to pay for my petrol in return for a talk about hats.
In Derby, Amy needed help to transform an old pair of curtains.
I was really struck by people's growing enthusiasm for making things. I asked a WI group in
Sheffield how many could sew, and only a few put up their hands. But when I asked who wanted
to learn, nearly everyone responded positively. At the Textile Workshop in Nottingham, the
number of classes on offer has doubled in a year, and a knitting club in Leeds is growing by the
week.
Craft is definitely fashionable at the moment. But over and above fashion, we're learning to
appreciate
