1. The speech he "made" was really boring. => I am just wondering if it is possible to replace the "made" with "did". As far as I know it is "made" not "did", but because I can't explain why, I need help.
2. The break "did" me a lot of good. => Here, what kind of sentence is that?

a lot of good => What is this?
3.Hearing the news made my day => What's the meaning of the sentence?
Thanks in advance.
