collection of soft toys-rabbits, bears, elephants, dogs and snakes. I love them!
Most people collect things at some time in their life. Who hasn't got a collection of photos, or books? Many
people collect the letters or emails from friends. And most children have a good toy collection. Most people don't
think of themselves as "collectors" because they think that having a lot of photos or toys is part of life. However,
some people love collecting things as a hobby, and you can collect anything, from stamps to toys to football match
programmes to old photos. In fact, some people have unusual collections.
For example, Robert Opie collects things we usually throw away, things like old newspapers, sweet papers and
boxes. He has more than a quarter of a million things in his collection.
When Stuart Graham from Sydney, Australia died aged 87, he left behind some unusual collections. His son
Andy only discovered Stuart was a keen collector when he found a collection of over 5,000 old bus tickets, 3,000
old matchboxes and 1,000 toy soldiers. Andy did not want to keep these collections and decided to look on the
Internet to see if anyone else would like the collections. He was surprised to find out that his father's collections
were very valuable. After he sold them, he bought a new car with the money.
Collectors collect things in different ways. You can go to specialist shops or markets to buy things for your
collection, or you can buy collectors' magazines. You can even look on the Internet at sites like E-bay. Or you can
trade things you have for something else that you would like. For example, if you have two stamps that are exactly
the same, you might be able to trade one of them for a different one that you prefer.
31．What does the writer mean by saying "Who hasn't got a collection of photos, or books"?
A．Nobody collects photos or books.
B．Most people collect things at some time.
C．Most people don't think they are collectors.

The class teacher thought that hobbies were important for children. So she encouraged all her students to
have one, and sometimes she arranged hobby shows for their parents to see as a result.
One morning the teacher told the class to have a holiday and get their hobby things to school before 5 p.m. A
hobby show would be held the following afternoon.
So in the afternoon, the students with nothing to show did their lessons at school as usual, while the lucky ones
had a holiday to go home for their hobby works.
When the afternoon lessons began, the teacher was surprised to see that Tommy was not there. “I don’t believe
Tommy has a hobby,” she thought. However, at a quarter to five, Tommy arrived with a beautiful collection of
butterflies (蝴蝶) in a glass case. The teacher liked the samples (标本) very much and put them on a desk in the
classroom. But, to her surprise, Tommy picked them up again and began to leave.
“What are you doing, Tommy?” She asked. “Those things must stay here until tomorrow afternoon. That’s
when the parents are coming to see them.”
“I know that,” answered Tommy, “and I will bring them back tomorrow, but my big brother doesn’t want them
to be out of our house at night.”
“But, aren’t the butterflies yours?” asked the teacher.
“No,” answered Tommy. “They are my brother’s.”
“But Tommy, you should show your own hobby here, not somebody else’s!”
“I know that,” answered Tommy. What surprised her most was the answer. “My hobby is watching my brother
collecting butterflies.”
36．What did the class teacher think of hobbies for children?
A．Unwelcome. B．Hopeless. C．Harmful. D．Important.
37．What time did Tommy get back to school that afternoon?

Are you bored with your daily life? Here are some things you should try before you are 18, because after
that it's too late.
★Learn to swim
Seriously, this is so important that it can save your life. If you can't swim well, you won't be able to do
water sports like waterskiing, surfing and diving. Even taking a boat trip will be dangerous for you. Make sure you
do it.
★Try at least one kind of team sports
Being a good team player is an important skill in life. You can't just think of yourself, but have to work well
with other people. Other advantages of team sports like basketball, football and baseball are that they keep you fit
and healthy, and they are also great fun. Teams usually have a good social life too—you'll go to lots of parties and
make many friends.
★Collect something
One of the best hobbies for under-18s is collecting things. You could collect kinds of stamps, or you could
collect things that make you remember what you have done, like cinema tickets for films you have seen or emails
from friends. The best way to collect is to have a special album to put your collection in and to write what each
thing means to you. That way you won't forget.
