From Monday to Friday most people are busy working or studying，but in the evenings and on weekends they are free and enjoy themselves. Some watch television or go to the movies，others take part in sports. This is 1 by their own interests .
There are many different ways to spend our 2 time. Almost everyone has some kind of 3 . It may be something from 4 stamps to making model planes.Some hobbies are very 5 ，but others don’t cost anything at all. Some collections are worth 6 of money, others are valuable only to their owners. I know a man who has a coin collection worth several thousand dollars.

It is very important to stay healthy. I have a neighbor. She is an old lady. She can do all the housework, 31_ newspapers, watch TV and search on the Internet to learn something new. I often see 32 do Taijiquan in the morning and dance in the evening. She looks young and beautiful 33 she is over seventy. Last week a reporter from a magazine interviewed her and asked 34 she kept so young and healthy. She replied with a smile:
I have a secret of staying young and healthy. It is quite 35 . Keep your mind active, take an interest in the world 36 you., and learn at least one new thing every day. Try to do different kinds of housework and do sports as 37 as you can. Don’t think you are too old to go back to 38 . I know a man who entered a medical college when he was 70 years old. He studied there for 6 years and now he is a doctor. Another man went to a tennis school at the age of 72 and now he is good at 39 tennis. Some people may say staying young is easy only for those who live in the future. In fact, no matter how old you are, you can make it.
Please tell the story to your family. It would be a good start to 40 the lady’s example. I hope all people will stay young and healthy.
