A hobby can be almost anything that a person likes to do in his spare time. Hobbyists（沉溺于某嗜好之人）raise pets, watch birds, paint pictures, play the piano and grow flowers. They collect everything from books to butterflies and from boxes to stamps.
People take up(从事) hobbies because these activities offer enjoyment, friendship and relaxation. Hobbies help people relax after a long time of hard work, and provide（提供） a balance (平衡) between work and play. Hobbies offer（提供） interesting activities for the old. Some hobbies can make a child grow as a person, develop his interest and help him learn new skills. Doctors have found that hobbies are useful in helping patients (病人) recover (恢复) from illness. Hobbies give patients who can’t move around something to do, and provide interests that keep them from thinking about themselves. Many hospitals treat (治疗) patients by having them take up interesting hobbies.
In early times, most people were too busy making a living to have many hobbies. But some persons who had spare time did enjoy hobbies. People today have more time than ever before for hobbies. Machines have now reduced much time that people must spend on their jobs.
Those who have developed(发展) hobbies never need to worry about what to do with their newly-found free time hours.

Prana was a beautiful dog, whose name means “breath of life”. Although he died several years ago, I can still remember the days we spent together and what he has taught me about love.
I have two apple trees in the garden. Prana loved apples. When he went outside, he’d catch an apple and take it into the house to eat later. The apples had been on the ground and were often dirty so I wasn’t always happy that Prana had brought them into the house.
It was an autumn day in America, but it was very cold. A big snow fell and we had not done anything for its coming. On that special day, Prana went outside and I watched him through the window. I noticed that he was madly digging(挖) holes and bringing the apples to the ground so they could be seen above the snow. I did not know why he was doing this. He seemed to want to do something special.
When I called him back, he had his usual one apple in his mouth. About five minutes later, I looked outside. The garden was completely covered with birds. Prana had dug up all those apples for his bird friends to eat. He knew that they wouldn’t have stored enough food for the coming winter!I wasn’t always happy because ____________.

When you cough or sneeze(打喷嚏), please turn your head away from others and cover your mouth with the full part of your hand. Afterwards, you should say, “Excuse me.” This is a rule I set for my students. It is so simple, but many kids have never been told to do this. In fact, I noticed adults cough and sneeze in public without putting a hand over the mouth. I hate traveling by subway in New York during cold and flu season, because it is certain that someone is going to stand right behind me and cough or sneeze on my neck.
One important thing I point out to the kids is that after they sneeze or cough on their hand, they should wash their hands as soon as possible. Otherwise, they will be passing those germs(细菌) along to everything and everyone they touch. In order to help the kids remember this rule, I tell them about an old story. It says that when you sneeze, evil spirits jump into your body. If you don’t cover your mouth, the spirits will enter, but if you cover your mouth, you will keep them out. We say “God bless you” when someone sneezes, and in Germany you should say “Gesundheit.” That means “Good health to you.” Both expressions are said—just in case you didn’t cover your mouth in time and the spirits were able to enter your body. The kids love finding out the origins(起源) of these expressions and it encourages them to put advice to use more often.The writer of this article must be _________.
| A．a reporter | B．a teacher | C．a doctor | D．an officer |
What does the underlined word “this” mean?
| A．Don’t cough or sneeze in front of people. |
| B．Don’t stand beside someone who coughs or sneezes. |
| C．Many people cough or sneeze on the underground train. |
| D．Cover your mouth when coughing or sneezing and say sorry. |
After coughing or sneezing on their hand, students are advised to _________.
| A．say “God bless you” immediately |
| B．wash their hands as soon as possible |
| C．go to see a doctor as soon as possible |
| D．go home and have a good rest |
According to the article, the writer would like the kids _________.
| A．to be polite to adults | B．to be in better health |
| C．to have good manners | D．to do well in exams |
