答案：【解析】：
這是一道英語閱讀理解填空題，考查對文章內(nèi)容的理解和提取關(guān)鍵信息的能力。解題的關(guān)鍵在于仔細(xì)閱讀文章，找到與題目中各個填空相關(guān)的描述內(nèi)容。
1. 對于（1），文章明確提到“Upcycling is all about taking old things and giving them a new life by adding value.”，所以此處應(yīng)填“old things”。
2. 對于（2），文中提到“It is a simple way to reduce waste and save energy.”，所以這里填“reduce waste”。
3. 對于（3），根據(jù)“You probably have some old pairs of jeans somewhere in your house. Most of the time, you just throw old jeans away. Instead, why not turn those old jeans into a stylish bag?”可知，此處填“stylish bag”。
4. 對于（4），由“How about making a cool new bookshelf out of an old ladder? Or out of old bricks and boards?”可得，這里填“bookshelf”。
5. 對于（5），從“Challenge yourselves today, readers! Look around your homes for something old or forgotten.”可知，應(yīng)填“homes”。
6. 對于（6），依據(jù)“When you finish your upcycling project, share your creation on our website.”可知，此處填“share”。
