by choosing either leisure (闲暇) activities that can be performed in the privacy of one"s own house, or
outdoor activities that follow their interest without direct contact with anyone other than one"s own family
members, such as going for a walk, or to the cinema, or shopping.
In recent survey, over half of all the leisure activities were of this private domestic type, and of the top ten
pastimes, only two-having friends round for a meal or drink, and going to the pub-could be described as
"sociable". The most domestic activities are the most popular: watching TV, listening to the radio, reading,
DIY (Do It Yourself) and gardening. Even when the English are being sociable, the survey findings show that
most of them would much rather entertain a few close friends or relatives in the safety of their own homes
than venture out among strangers.
In the latest national census survey (人口普查), over half of the entire adult male population had been
DIYing in the four weeks before the census date. Nearly a third of the female population had also been busily
improving their homes, and their work with their gardens was equally obvious: 52 percent of all English males
and 45 percent of females had been out there, cutting branches and weeding grass.
Even among people claiming to belong to a particular religion, only two percent attend services every
week. The rest of the population can be found every Sunday at their local garden center or DIY superstore.
And when they want a break from caring about their own homes and gardens, they go on trips to visit bigger
and better houses and gardens, such as the stately homes and gardens opened to the public by the National
Trust and the Royal Horticulture Society. Visiting grand country houses always ranks as one of the most
popular national pastimes.

I"m a Senior 1 student in a middle school. This term, my favourite teacher, Miss Mao, no longer teaches
us. I want to see her, but I"m afraid that she no longer likes me and I don"t want to trouble her. I really miss
her. What should I do?
Tian Yan
Dear Tian Yan,
It"s bad luck that you have lost your favourite teacher. But, if she is still in your school, nothing can stop
you going to see her. When she isn"t busy, ask her if she minds having a quick chat. You can then tell her
she was your favourite teacher. Everyone is happy to know they are liked!
If she has left the school, it will be more difficult to meet her. It will be hard, but remember people always
come and go in our lives. We can"t rely on (依靠) them being with us all the time.
You may be sad to say goodbye to her, but we can remember and learn from her. Think of her best
qualities.
You could also try looking for similar qualities in your other teachers. Study hard and give your new
teacher a chance. In time, you might start to see that he or she has different qualities to learn from.
Finally, you can not completely rely on other people getting you through your studies, or even your life.

I write this letter to you in hopes that you should consider your method of parenting me before I arrive.
I am a joyous child. I expect love and respect, order and discipline. When I arrive, I will seem very small to
you. Even though I don"t look like an adult, please understand that I am a human being.
Even though I will not speak words to you, I will know you with my heart. I will feel all your feelings,
absorb your thoughts. I will come to know you more than you may know yourself. Do not be misled (误导)
by my silence. I am open, growing and learning more rapidly than you can imagine.
I will keep in heart all that I see, so please give me sweet music and language that tells me how much I
am loved. Give me silence to rest my ears. I will absorb all that I feel, so please wrap life in love.
I am waiting patiently to be with you. I am so happy to have the opportunity to be alive. Maybe when
you see me you will remember how precious life is too!

collections of bottles, flags, buttons or shells that others are willing to pay to see them or they offer to buy
their collections for large sums of money.
Some of the best collections are owned by people who started their hobbies as young boys or girls. Some
of the things that American children like to collect are stamps and dolls. Older people also save stamps, but
they collect coins and things made of glass more often than dolls.
Painting, writing and taking photographs are the best examples of hobbies that may become occupations.
Every writer, artist and photographer probably started as a hobbyist before becoming a professional. Other
hobbies that could be profitable include cooking, sewing and making things out of wood.
Many doctors believe that hobbies help to make our lives more enjoyable. They believe that people who
raise fish or collect recorders are too busy to spend their time worrying. Doctors also think that an active
person, such as a baseball player, should have a restful hobby such as reading, while a person who sits at a
desk all day should have lively hobbies such as tennis, golf or swimming. Most people in the United States
agree with the doctor. It is difficult to find an American who does not have a favorite hobby.
B. jobs
C. collections
D. things
B. are very busy in their lives
C. don"t have time to worry
D. work busily in their business
B. has a favorite hobby
C. spends a lot of money on the lively hobby
D. follows the doctors" advice to have a hobby
B. Football players should have lively hobbies
C. All of the people started their hobbies from childhood.
D. A writer should have tennis, golf or swimming as his hobbies.
there have always been people who have looked for adventure-those who have climbed the highest mountains,
explored unknown parts of the world or sailed in small boats across the greatest oceans. Now, however,
there are people who seek an immediate excitement from a risky activity which may only last a few minutes
or even seconds.
I would consider bungee jumping to be a good example of such an activity. You jump from a high place
(perhaps a bridge or a hot-air balloon)200 meters above the ground with an elastic (有弹性的) rope tied to
your ankles. You fall at up to l50 kilometers an hour until the rope stops you from hitting the ground. It is
estimated that two million people around the world have now tried bungee jumping. Other activities which
most people would say are as risky as bungee jumping include jumping from tall buildings and diving into
the sea from the top of high cliffs.
Why do people take part in such activities as these?Some psychologists suggest that it is because life in
modern societies has become safe and boring. Not very long ago, people"s lives were constantly under threat.
They had to go out and hunt for food, diseases could not easily be cured,and life was a continuous battle for
survival.
Nowadays, according to many people, life offers little excitement. They live and work in comparatively
safe environment; they buy food in shops; and there are doctors and hospitals to look after them if they
become ill. The answer for some of these people is to seek danger in activities such as bungee jumping.
B. are climbing the highest mountains
C. are trying activities such as bungee jumping
D. are looking for adventures such as exploring unknown places
B. slide down a rope to the ground
C. fall towards the ground without a rope
D. attach yourself to a rope and fall to the ground
B. they have a lot of free time
C. they no longer need to hunt for food
D. they can go to hospital if they are injured
B. The Boredom of Modern Life
C. Dangerous Sports: What and Why
D. Is Bungee Jumping Really Dangerous
