A way of taking up new hobbies

Starting a new school term is always exciting. It is a chance to  66  your friends again. But the most exciting of all, a new term is a good chance to take up new hobbies. It is common (普遍的) in Britain for students to take up new hobbies after the Christmas holidays. To start something new is a common New Year resolution.

    Most schools offer (提供)  67  kinds of hobby classes. Students take them in their free time or after school. Some classes you have to pay for and the others are free. For example, I once took a free Wednesday evening gymnastics class, but when I learned how to play the drum, my parents  68  to pay for the lesson.

The most popular extra classes at my school were piano lessons and drama club. Both classes offered exams students could take. Students with many hobbies sometimes feel more  69  than those without any. But the students with hobbies leave school with many extra skills.

I haven’t continued any of the hobbies I began at school, but I have never regretted (遗憾) taking them. My  70  friend today is someone I met in my gymnastics class.

Walden is a quiet small town in England. Cars aren't allowed ( 允许 ) into the centre of the town so it's very pleasant to walk around.

Allow at least half a day to visit the museum. It's on a hill just outside the town in a very old building. One room there tells people the history of the building itself.

The museum brings history to life. You can even ride on a horse and cart ( 马车 ) in the street. I was really interested in a 1950s living room in the museum. It was just like my grandmother's house when I was a child.

If you can wait, there's a new exhibition (展览) opening soon. Walden is famous for one thing -- candy! If you like candy, this exhibition is the place for you -- you can learn about its history. I never see so many different kinds of candy. But don't go now because it doesn't start until the 26th of May.

Have a look round the town of Walden too while you are there. If you start in the main square and follow the green signs, they'll take you to the museum, and you'll see lots of other interesting things on the way, too.

Welcome to Walden!
Where is Walden?	It’s in    1   .
What’s special?	People   2   drive cars into the centre of the town,
What to   3  in Walden ?	● The museum: on a     4   just outside the town -- one room tells people the     5   of the building; a horse and cart ride; a    6    living room. ● A new exhibition of      7   ：so many different kinds! It will open on      8   , the 26th. ● Something else: start in the main square, the    9 signs will take you to the museum; you'll see     10   other interesting things on the way, too.
