四、阅读理解。(本大题共10小题，每小题2分，共20分)
A
Are you tired of people asking the questions, “What’s your hobby?” You always hear the same old answers:
reading, listening to music, painting and so on. There’s nothing wrong with these activities, but maybe it’s time for
some new ideas.
For example, how about “yarn bombing”? What’s that? Maybe you have heard of knitting (编织) to make
sweaters, scarves, gloves and other things. With yarn bombing, people knit different kinds of things, like sweaters
for trees or hats for stones in the park. It’s the latest form of artwork. In some cities, people are even paying knitters
to decorate public places with their art. Some call it “Knitting Graffiti (涂鸦) ,” but unlike other forms of graffiti, it
is easy to take away, and it doesn’t destroy anything.
Do you like those TV shows in which the police use science to solve crimes (犯罪事件)? If you do, you can
take up “forensic science” (法医学) as a hobby. That’s the science used to investigate crimes. You can get a set of
at-home fingerprint tools and find out who is taking cookies from the cookie box or perhaps who is reading your
secret diary.
Finally, here’s a hobby for those who want to have fun and make a little money. It’s called “upcycling”.
You’ve heard of recycling—you put things like glass, paper and plastic in special boxes so the materials can be
used again. Upcyclers take old things and make them into new things. Sometimes they can even sell the things they
make. For example, you can take an old book bag, clean it up and decorate it. It will look like a cool new bag.
There’s even a book called Upcycle that is full of ideas. All you need for this is an old thing and a good
imagination.
So look around for a new and interesting hobby. Then when someone asks you the question “What’s your
hobby?”, you can give them an answer that they’ve never heard before.

①A hobby can be almost anything a person likes to do in his free time. Hobbyists keep pets, build model
ships, watch birds, climb mountains, grow flowers, fish, ski, skate, swim, etc. Hobbyists also paint pictures, attend
concerts and plays and perform on musical instruments. They collect everything from books to butterflies, and from
coins to stamps. So why do people need to have hobbies?
②People have hobbies because these activities offer enjoyment, friendship, knowledge and relaxation.
Sometimes they even make some money by following a hobby. Hobbies help people relax after hard work and
provide a balance between work and play. Hobbies also offer more interesting activities for persons who have
retired. Anyone, rich or poor, old or young, sick or well, can follow an interesting hobby.

helpful for patients to recover from physical or mental illness. Hobbies give patients something to do, and provide
interest that keeps them from thinking about themselves.

were free enjoy hobbies. People today have more time than before for hobbies. Machines have reduced the amount

hobbies never need to worry about what to do with their free hours.

stress from school.

having a hobby is the best way to help them feel relaxed.
There are many different kinds of hobbies. Chess is a good example. It is a very enjoyable game and it also
helps children develop their thinking skills.
Collecting something is also a good hobby for children. A child can collect almost anything: key rings, stamps,
postcards, old coins, etc. Many of these collecting can be both interesting and fun. Besides, gardening is also a
useful hobby because it is a physical activity and it can teach children about nature.
