Read the passage and choose the best answer to the questions. DIY Man The British are a houseproud nation, as many home-improvement TV programmes demonstrate. Nothing makes their hearts beat faster than the installation of a state-of-the-art bathroom or the latest wood-burning stove. There is a problem though. Doing up your house properly costs money, lots of it. Want your flat rewallpapered without the hassle of doing it yourself? "That'll be £2,000 – those long cracks in the ceiling are going to need a lot of work." Kitchen falling to pieces? Good opportunity to put in a new one? OK, but it'll cost you a small fortune. Enter Do-It-Yourself Man, hammer in hand. If the house is falling down and there's no money to pay a professional, then DIY Man will ride to the rescue. DIY Man goes back thousands of years, back to when a caveman first looked round his cave and thought it might be a good idea to enlarge it. However, in the last few decades he has evolved greatly and is now almost a different species. Modern DIY Man has instruction manuals that tell him how to replace a door and when to have a cup of tea. He has four tools kits and he's likely to spend just as much money buying a new piece of equipment as he would paying a plumber for the job the equipment is intended for. Today's DIY Man has a second home known as the DIY store, a vast and confusing place equipped with a million types of screws and a hundred kinds of paint. While non-DIY Man goes dizzy on entering it, DIY Man's heart soars with delight at the thought of the choices available to him. DIY Man subdivides into many different types. There's the "Have-a-go" type, who despite being utterly impractical, will enthusiastically give any job a try before calling an electrician because he almost electrocuted himself. There's the "Can-do" type, for whom no job is too small or too big, whether it's putting up a shelf or re-roofing a shed. There's the "I'm-all-right-as-long-as-it's-just-a-small-job" type, the category many of us fall into. And then, of course, there's the "Totally-obsessed-about-DIY" type, who can build a kitchen in a week and whose favourite place is on the top of a ladder. Now you're a fortunate person if you're married to one of them.
