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. A short time ago he bought a fifty-cent piece which   7  him 250 dollars. He was very happy about his collection and thought the price was all right. I know another man who likes collecting match boxes. He has almost 600 of them, but I wonder if they are worth any money. However, to him they are quite valuable.8  makes him happier than finding a new match box for his collection.

That’s  9  a hobby means, I think. It is something we like to do in our free time just for the fun of it. The value in dollars is not important,  10   the pleasure it gives us is.

 Once there was an island where all the feelings lived: Happiness, Sadness, Knowledge, and all of the others, including Love. One day it was said that the island would go down, so all made boats and left except Love.

Love was the only one who stayed. Love wanted to offer her help until the last possible moment. When the island had almost gone down, Love decided to ask for help.

Richness was passing by Love in a great boat. Love said, “Richness, can you take me with you?” Richness answered, “No, I can’t. There is a lot of gold and silver in my boat. There is no place here for you.”

Sadness was close by, so Love asked, “Sadness, let me go with you .” “Oh, Love, I am so sad that I need to be by myself!”

Happiness passed by Love, too, but she was so happy that she did not even notice when Love called her.

    Suddenly, there was a voice, “Come, Love, I will take you.” It was an elder. Love was so excited that she even forgot to ask who the elder was. So Love asked Knowledge, another elder, “Who helped me?” “It was Time,” Knowledge answered. “Time?” asked Love. “But why did Time help me?”

Knowledge smiled with deep wisdom and answered, “Because only Time understands how valuable Love is.”

2.Sadness didn’t see Love when he passed by Love, did he?

A.Yes, he did.    B.Yes, he didn’t.  C.No, he didn’t.   D.No, he did.

A.Because Happiness didn’t like Love.

B.Because Happiness didn’t hear Love calling her.

C.Because her boat was so small that she couldn’t take Love with her.
