This year, like lots of other people, I'm going to try to make myown Christmas presents. It's not the first time that I'vepromised myself this. Being a milliner, and an all-round craftytype, I've often thought I should put my money where mymouth is. But this year I'm really going to stick to it. It's partlythat I'm short of cash, but also that I've recently returned froman inspiring trip around Britain, looking into "make do andmend" for BBC2's Newsnight.
I dreamed up the trip a few months ago. The thought of traveling the country--making things as Iwent, meeting artists and craftspeople--sounded like the perfect way to spend the summer. I'dpack a tent and a sewing machine and off I'd go. But by the time I finalized my plans and hit theroad, 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 (縫補(bǔ)) a moth-eaten monk's jumper to making trousers for a stiltwalker. 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 inSheffield how many could sew, and only a few put up their hands. But when I asked who wantedto learn, nearly everyone responded positively. At the Textile Workshop in Nottingham, thenumber of classes on offer has doubled in a year, and a knitting club in Leeds is growing by theweek.
Craft is definitely fashionable at the moment. But over and above fashion, we're learning toappreciate effort and quality again. Perhaps once people rediscover the pleasure to be gained frommaking something unique, it may stick.
Sue Pilchard is curator (管理者) of quilts at the V&A, where next spring she'll be putting onthe museum's first major quilting exhibition. Sue believes the return to crafting is wrapped up inhow we are redefining ourselves. "There's certainly a movement.., towards a new domesticity.People, especially women, are starting to think about the way they live their lives. It's 40 yearssince the first women's liberation conference was held in Oxford. Since that time we've been in theworkplace, and we've had the opportunity of choice. Now we're deliberately choosing to go backinto the home."
Whether you agree with that or not, there's something about Christmas that brings out theartistic streak in everyone. Whether it's baking mince pies or decking the halls, we're all preparedto have a go. So if you fancy pushing the boat out and making a few presents, try these reallysimple ideas, each inspired by my recent journey. They make ideal stocking fillers or small gifts,and take no longer than 30 minutes each. Play some carols, settle down with a steaming cup ofcocoa, and forget the cold. You'll save yourself a bit of money and spread a little bit of love too!

本文描述了作者自制圣誕禮物及感想。首段介紹作者為何下定決心給自己制作圣誕禮物;第2段描繪她的旅程;第3-4段描述旅途中所發(fā)生的事情：她幫別人做手工藝品，同時(shí)也碰到了很多想學(xué)的人;第5-6段闡述作者及Sue Prichard對(duì)手工制品的`觀點(diǎn);最后一段表明作者對(duì)于自制圣誕禮物的看法：即能省錢(qián)又能表達(dá)愛(ài)意。
答案解析：
1.[C]因果細(xì)節(jié)題�？疾樽髡邲Q定自制圣誕禮物的原因，定位到第1段。根據(jù)第1段最后兩句可知，作者之所以堅(jiān)持今年自制圣誕禮物的真正原因是她的英國(guó)之旅(受BBC2一檔節(jié)目之邀，到英國(guó)做某項(xiàng)調(diào)查)激勵(lì)了她。故C是答案。
2.[D]細(xì)節(jié)判斷題。第2段簡(jiǎn)述她的英國(guó)之旅遠(yuǎn)非所想象的一樣浪漫，在旅途中她靠給別人做手工活而解決了食宿。并且了解到很多人都想學(xué)做手工藝品。因此選項(xiàng)D符合題意。A、B是未啟程之前作者自己的想象;她此行的目的.不是賺錢(qián)，C錯(cuò)。
3.[C]細(xì)節(jié)判斷題。第2段提到，作者最終定下旅行計(jì)劃(finalized the plan)，開(kāi)始上路時(shí)，已是深秋(落葉已在腳下作響)。C為正確答案。
4.[A]細(xì)節(jié)判斷題。定位到第5段，根據(jù)第5段的第2句可知，手工藝品之所以受歡迎除了流行外，我們學(xué)會(huì)了珍惜勞動(dòng)、領(lǐng)略手工藝品的價(jià)值。因此A符合題意。
5.[p]觀點(diǎn)態(tài)度題�？疾樽髡邔�(duì)自制圣誕禮物的看法，定位到最后一段。根據(jù)最后一段首句可知，作者認(rèn)為自制圣誕禮物能激發(fā)個(gè)人藝術(shù)潛能，D正確。 A錯(cuò)在just;該段提到，有些小禮物在30分鐘內(nèi)便可制作完成，B與原文表述不符。C不是作者對(duì)制作圣誕禮物的看法。
