Hobbies are a great way to enjoy yourself. But if you don’t have a lot of free time, it can be hard to find one that fits your tastes and your busy life. Of course, some people may ask why they should take up a hobby.     1    . They don’t understand that doing something really enjoyable can improve their energy level and make them happy.

One way to find the right hobby is to think about what you enjoyed doing when you were a young child.     2    ? Now here’s your chance to try again. Try to get back in-to these activities you were interested in.

Another way is to think about your friends’ hobbies.     3    . Training together will give both of you pleasure. Or if you see a friend’s paintings and you would also like to do some painting as well, give it a try.

Something to keep in mind is that an activity may not interest you at all after you’ve tried it.     4    . So don’t ask your parents to pay for your expensive equipment (装备) or a whole year’s lessons right away. Begin slowly, borrow what you need, and see if the activity is really right for you. If you still enjoy an activity after a few weeks of starting it. it might be the right hobby for you.     5    . And if you finish it, perhaps you can ask for some equipment for your next birthday present.

A．Only then is the right time to pay for the full course

B．Lots of people give up hobbies within a few months of starting them

C．What have you learned from your bobby

D．If you are interested in their hobbies, ask if you can join them

E．Do you regret giving up those music lessons when you were ten years old

F．All they want to do is to sit in front of the TV or to go online after a busy day at school

【推荐1】Whenever the sun dropped and the blue sky came up, my father and I used to climb the mountain near my house. Walking together, my father and I used to have a lot of conversations through which I learned lessons from his experiences. He always told me, “You should have goals like climbing the mountain.” Without the mountain-climbing that we both enjoyed, we couldn’t have enough time to spend together because my father was very busy. I really got a lot from the mountain-climbing. It gave me time to talk with my father and to be in deep thought as well as develop my patience.
Once we climbed a very high mountain. It was so challenging for me because I was only ten years old. During the first few hours of climbing, I enjoyed the flowers and trees, and the birds’ singing. But as time passed, I got a pain in both of my legs. I wanted to quit（放弃） climbing, but my father said to me, “You can always see a beautiful sky at the top of the mountain, but you can’t see it before you reach the top. Only there can you see all of the nice things, which is just like your life.”
At that time, I was too young to understand his words. But later after that, I got to know the meaning of hope in life. I found myself standing at the top of the mountain, and the sky was as clear as crystal.

【推荐2】Sheep always follow each other and never really think about where they are going. Perhaps fashion makes us into “sheep”. Maybe we should find our own way and not follow the crowd. Everyone wants to wear top brand clothing. However, we should remember that clothes designers (设计师) study what ordinary people wear on the street. Then they make clothes like ordinary people's for everyone. Therefore, fashion really starts with individual (个人的) finding a new look. Then a company uses that look and then it becomes fashionable! That doesn't mean you will. That is to say, a model might look perfect in a shirt but that doesn't mean you will.

The same goes for mobile phones. Young people are always asking me when to change my mobile phones. Mobile phone companies are always putting new functions on their phones but do we really need all these extra functions? I use my phone to call people and to send messages to my friends. I don't need a camera, Internet surfing or a calendar on my phone. Again, if you buy the latest phone, it will only be the latest phone for a month or so. Then something new will come out and you'll be unfashionable again. You can't keep up with fashion all the time, so you don't need to follow the fashion.

1. The underlined word “sheep” refers to “________”.

A．a kind of animal which is white	B．people who always follow the fashion
C．honest people who want to be fashionable	D．black sheep which break laws

2. If you have a model's clothes on, you ___________.

A．are sure to be beautiful	B．will become a model
C．will be smarter	D．may not look perfect

3. The passage is written mainly to ______________.

A．explain what sheep are	B．tell us to buy new mobile phones
C．tell us not to be “sheep”	D．tell students not to care about the clothes

4. What can we infer from the article?

A．Sheep which are out of date have been killed.

B．The writer is a person who always follows the fashion.

C．Fashion only exists among those fashion models.

D．Fashion changes so quickly that we can hardly keep up with it.
