【解析】文章分别对DIY介绍、DIY在英国流行的原因、DIY困难甚至危险的原因进行了分析，进而对DIY提出了合理的建议。

【1】spend some time (in) doing sth

【2】If there is anything ___2___ needs repairing or decorating around their homes, 先行词anything，定语从句中缺少主语，故填关系代词that。

【3】they will do the jobs ___3___(they). 由语境可知：他们将自己做这些工作。所以填they的反身代词themselves。

【4】They share DIY experience____4____their friends. 固定搭配：share sth with sb和某人分享某物。

【5】常用句型 ：find+it+adj+to do sth是简单句。其中 it 是形式宾语，真正的宾语是后面的动词不定式。故填写to build 。

【6】because they can’t understand the directions（说明书)____6____(good) .修饰谓语动词understand，用副词well。

【7】DIY can also be ____7____(danger).be动词后面用形容词，故填dangerous。

【8】___8____(unlucky), many people don’t care about this warning and put themselves in danger. 用副词Unluckily 作状语修饰后面总个句子。

【9】It is reported that thousands of people____9____(hurt) while doing DIY in the UK last year.由语境可知是被动的关系，再结合last year，用一般过去时被动语态were hurt。

【10】DIY can bring us fun and help us save money, ___10___it is not always as easy as it is thought to be. 前句说 DIY能给我们带来乐趣和帮助我们省钱。后句所说它并不总是被认为的那么容易；明显是转折关系，故填but。
