From Monday to Friday most people are busy working or studying. But in the evenings and on
weekends they are free and like to 1 themselves. Some watch TV or go to the movies, others 2
sports. This is decided by their own 3 .
There are many different ways to spend our 4 time.
Almost everyone has some kind of 5 : it may be something from collecting stamps to 6 model
planes. Some hobbies are very 7 , but others don’t cost anything at all. Some collections are worth 8 of money, others are valuable(有价值的) only to their owners.
I know a man 9 24 has a coin collection worth several dollars. A short time ago he bought a
rare(罕见的) fifty-cent piece which 10 him $250. He was very happy about this collection and though
t the price was all right. On the other hand, my youngest brother collects matchboxes. He has almost 600
of them, but I’m not sure 11 they are worth any money. However, 12 my brother they are quite
valuable. 13 makes him happier than to find a new matchbox for his collection.
That’s what a hobby means, I think. It is something we 14 to do in our free time just for the 15 of it. The value in dollars is not important, but the pleasure (愉快) it gives us is. |

They are thought of as vegetarians and they refused to eat meat, fish, eggs, cheese and milk. 1 . Some of them just don’t eat animal products such as milk, eggs, or yogurt, but some others are strict vegetarians and
they eat mainly fruit and vegetables. As we know, it is very important to have a balanced diet, especially
for the teenagers who are growing up. 2 . Well, each person chooses to become a vegetarian for
different reasons. The main reasons are they want to protect animals and they want to stay healthy.
I decided to be a vegan when I was 15 years old. But as a vegetarian, I have had a difficult time in
getting the proper nutrition(营养). 3 . Of course, being a vegetarian isn’t for everyone. 4 .
A. So why are they becoming vegetarians?
B. Most experts and doctors say that being a vegetarian is very healthy, but many people disagree.

D. There are many different types of vegetarians. | | 阅读理解。 | Jack, a middle school student, used to work hard at all his lessons. He usually got up earliest and
went to bed latest of the family. He hardly ever did outdoor activities. His parents worried about his
health. They asked him to get relaxed by watching TV or playing sports, but he wouldn"t follow them.
Finally, one day he fell ill and had to stay in hospital for several weeks. Now Jack is in poor health.
Though he goes to school every day, he doesn"t do so well in his studies as before.
From Jack"s story, we can see that health is very important. If you become sick, you may not go
on with your education, and then you can"t make your dreams come true. On the other hand, if you are
strong, you can enjoy yourselves to do everything well.
Then how should you keep fit? First, you should spend some time exercising every day to keep fit.
Second, you must go to bed and get up early. If you get up early, you can breathe fresh air (呼吸新
鲜空气) and make your heads cleverer. In a word, health is no less important than working hard for
us. So we should, on the one hand, work hard, and on the other hand, pay much attention to our health. | | 根据短文内容，选择最佳选项。 | | 1. Jack used to be . | A. shy

I"m writing to you on your third birthday. I want to tell you something about your grandma"s time. I
was born sixty-eight years ago in a small village.
Transportation used to be a big problem. When we traveled from village to village, we used to walk
or ride horses.
Shopping was not an easy job, either. There were no supermarkets in the neighborhood. We used
to grow most of our own food: rice and vegetables. We kept things cool in a special underground room.
The biggest difference is that you have electricity (电). We didn"t have electricity until very late in
our small village. We didn"t have any televisions of course. We used to perform our local (地方的) music and enjoy it very much.
Life used to be very hard, but I was not upset. I would like you to know about the old d ays and be
happy about what you have when you grow up. Remember, feeling good about life is the key to happiness.
Love,
Your grandma | | 根据书信内容，选择最佳选项。 | | 1. This letter is written by . | A. a grandfather to a grandson
