Many people think hobbies are just for fun. However, having a hobby actually brings many unexpected
benefits that help us in life and study.
First, hobbies are great stress-relievers. When you focus on something you love, like painting or playing the
guitar, you forget your worries. This “time to relax” recharges your brain, just like charging a phone battery. After
a hobby session, you often feel refreshed and can concentrate better on your studies.
Second, hobbies help you make new friends and build confidence. Joining a club or an online group about
your hobby connects you with people who share your interests. As you get better at your hobby, you feel a sense
of achievement. This confidence can spread to other areas, like speaking in class or trying new challenges.
Finally, some hobbies can even teach you practical skills. For example, gardening teaches you about nature
and patience. Coding as a hobby improves your logical thinking. These skills might be useful for your future job.
So, don’t underestimate your hobby. It’s not a waste of time. It’s a valuable tool that makes you happier,
healthier, and more capable.

My Journey into Painting
When I was a child, I loved to draw cartoons in my notebook. But I never thought I would become a
painter. It all started three years ago. My best friend gave me a set of watercolor paints on my birthday. I decided
to take up painting as a hobby. At first, I only painted in my free time. I would try out different colors and brush
techniques.Sometimes, I felt unhappy because my paintings didn’t look like what I imagined. My art teacher told me
not to give up so easily. She said, “Great painters practice every day. You need to watch others paint and learn
from them.” So I started to watch online painting lessons. I also joined a painting club, where I joined others in
painting outdoors on weekends.
Now, painting is more than a hobby. It has become a daily part of my life and even my full-time job.
Painting has taught me to be patient and creative. It has also taught me to see beauty in the small, common things:
the way sunlight filters (透过) through leaves, the soft curve (曲线) of a teacup, or the smile of a stranger on the
street. I’ve learned that even when a painting doesn’t turn out as I hoped, it’s not a failure—it’s just a step toward
something better. I’m so glad I decided to try it that day, because it didn’t just give me a job; it gave me a way to
connect with the world and express the feelings I can’t always put into words.
根据短文内容回答以下问题。
1．When did the writer start painting?
A．When the writer was three. B．On the writer’s 8th birthday.
C．Three years ago. D．Two years ago.
2．What made the writer start painting?
A．A school project. B．A gift from a friend.
C．A painting competition. D．Cartoons in the notebook.
3．What did the teacher tell the writer?
A．To give up painting. B．To practice every day.
C．To stop watching tutorials. D．To go out on weekends.
4．Painting has taught the writer many things except ________.
A．to be patient and creative B．a way to connect with the world
C．to see the beauty in small things D．trying to be successful
【答案】1．C 2．B 3．B 4．D

Studies show that people now have more free time than ever before. Then why doesn’t it feel that way?
Many of us spend lots of free time playing with our phones. Pictures and information keep getting into our minds,
so we don’t feel fully relaxed. To help you feel relaxed, it is important to use your free time wisely. Here is how to
do it.
Set your goals. Think about what you want in your free time. Do you want to exercise, learn something new
or just relax? Don’t worry about what you should do. Just think about what will bring you satisfaction (满足).
Be creative. When we watch TV or read, we are only taking things in. Try to be a maker or a writer. Build a
model or write a blog. You will use different parts of your brain (大脑) and feel more energetic as a result.
Meet people with the same interests. Everyone has different interests, so don’t expect your friends to be
into the same things as you. You can join a club and get to know people with the same interests as you.
Take control of your time. Don’t let anything else take up your free time. ▲ Otherwise, the line between
your free time and everyday life will be unclear, and you won’t feel relaxed.
Once you’re fully relaxed, you can think about what you’d like to improve in your life. There are many
groups, clubs and classes that you can join to help you start a new life. So just get on there and enjoy yourself!

When I was in Grade 8, I was a typical (典型的) “couch (沙发) potato”. I spent almost every evening
sitting in front of the computer, eating chips and candy, and never doing any exercise. My parents often worried
about me, but I just thought they were being too strict. One day, I fainted (昏倒) during a PE class. The doctor told
me that my poor eating habits and lack of exercise had made my body weak. That moment was a wake-up call forme.
I decided to make a change. First, I threw away all the junk food at home and started eating more fruits and
vegetables. My mom helped me prepare healthy lunches, like whole-grain (全谷物) sandwiches with chicken and
salad. Second, I began to exercise regularly. At first, I could only jog for 10 minutes without stopping, but I kept
going. Gradually, I increased the time to 30 minutes every day, and I even joined the school’s running club. I also
started going to bed at 10 pm and waking up at 7 am, instead of staying up late playing games.
After three months, I noticed big changes. I had more energy in class, and I didn’t feel tired easily anymore.
I even won a prize in the school’s 1000-meter race! My parents were so proud of me, and I felt proud too. Now,
keeping healthy has become a part of my life. I realize that small, consistent (持续的) changes can make a huge
difference to our health.

The Mind-Body Connection: How Mental State Affects Physical Health
Modern science increasingly recognizes the profound link between our mental and physical well-being,
often termed the “mind-body connection”. Chronic stress, for instance, is not merely an emotional state; it triggers
a cascade of physiological responses. The body releases hormones like cortisol and adrenaline, which, over time,
can weaken the immune system, making us more susceptible to infections like the common cold or flu.
Furthermore, persistent anxiety or depression can manifest as physical symptoms. People may experience
headaches, stomachaches, muscle tension, or fatigue without a clear physical cause. This is because emotional
distress can alter pain perception and disrupt normal bodily functions like digestion and sleep.
Conversely, positive mental states can have a therapeutic effect. Practices such as mindfulness meditation,
deep breathing exercises, and maintaining strong social connections have been shown to lower blood pressure,
reduce inflammation, and improve overall resilience against illness. Laughter, for example, releases endorphins,
the body’s natural painkillers, and boosts immune function.
Understanding this connection underscores the importance of holistic health. Taking care of your mental
health—through stress management, adequate sleep, and seeking help when needed—is not a luxury but a crucial
component of maintaining physical health. As the old saying goes, “A healthy mind in a healthy body.”
Glossary 词汇表:
- cascade: n. a large number of things happening one after another 一连串
- susceptible: adj. likely to be affected by something 易受影响的
- manifest: v. to show something clearly 显现
- therapeutic: adj. having a healing effect 有疗效的
