根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。

American high school students usually spend about eight hours sleeping. And it often takes them eight hours to do school-related activities, including one hour for homework.     51    ?

Recently, a study about that came out. By the numbers, we can know American teenagers spend about seventy percent of that time watching TV, dressing up and so on.     52    . Although teenagers need time to relax, do they need about six hours to relax? Probably the answer is not. For teenagers, they need to organize their free time properly to enrich (使充实) their life.     53    .

When it comes to hobbies, they’re not compulsory (强制性的). We have seen all kinds of activities—including school clubs, sports and personal interests like reading, writing and playing music—as hobbies. Teenagers usually do them after school.

The study also shows that teenagers with hobbies are less likely to have high-risk actions, while teenagers without hobbies are more likely to drop out of school, smoke and have other bad behaviors (行为).     54    . At the same time, they can enjoy themselves by doing what they like. In this way, they can use their time wisely.

    55    ? If not, find something you love doing and keep doing it.

A．Do you have any friends

B．Do you have any hobbies

C．And developing good hobbies is a good choice

D．These activities are considered meaningless by adults

E．So, what do they do with the remaining four hours of their day

F．So, what do they do with the remaining eight hours of their day

G．Actually, hobbies give teenagers a chance to meet new people and develop skills outside school

I gave each of the kids twenty dollars and encouraged them to search for gifts by     63    . Then I sat at a table in a cafe, waiting for them and enjoying a     64     moment. When the kids came back, they     65     all excited except Ginger, my younger daughter. She had nothing in her hands. “Why didn’t you buy anything, Ginger?” I asked her.

She explained, “I saw a ‘Giving-Tree’ with many lovely     66    . I stopped and read one of them. The card was from a seven-year-old sick girl. All she wanted for Christmas was a doll. I thought I should     67    her. To make the       68     wish come true, I used my money to buy the doll for her.”
