A hobby is an investment of time. It also can be an investment of money and commitment. Many people choose to develop more than one type of hobby. 【小题1】 When it comes to choosing the hobby, consider the following factors.
Hobbies are usually an activity of some sort that brings out a certain skill that you have. When you have a talent like painting or woodworking, it can be easy to determine which hobby suits your skill. 【小题2】 Skill can be developed and challenged as you go along. It is not a necessary requirement. A hobby is fitting because you love it, not because you’re a professional at it.]
Some people particularly enjoy taking part in hobbies that they can do in a group with others. It can be a lot more fun to become a member of a hobby group than to sit alone in your basement. 【小题3】 It’s important to share interests and network with other hobby enthusiasts that do what you do.
Hobbies are generally an activity that you undertake because of the joy it brings you. Of course many people have discovered the joy that also comes with a hobby that earns you a living. 【小题4】 Just make sure you make the choice that fits your lifestyle and personal preference.
【小题5】 But most of the skilled hobbies like art, building or writing have a series of lessons or tutorials that you can take to further your skills. In some cases it’s a really good idea to take lessons, especially if you are clueless as to where or how to begin. Step by step books for most hobbies can often be found in bookstores as well.
| A．However, hobbies don’t have to be skill related. |
| B．Most hobbies can easily be done within your own home, at your leisure. |
| C．Look one up or start your own. |
| D．Read hobby books to learn more about your chosen hobby! |
【小题1】F
【小题2】A
【小题3】C
【小题4】G
【小题5】B
解析试题分析：短文就“什么是爱好”给出了解释。并就“如何选择发展爱好需要考虑的因素”提出了几点建议。
【小题1】F下文谈的是“选择爱好应该要考虑的因素”，所以说“选择适合于你的爱好是必要的”
【小题2】A 文都是讲的“爱好不必与你的技巧挂起钩来”。
【小题3】C本段讲的是既要分享别人的爱好，同时也要有自己的爱好拿出来与别人分享。
【小题4】G 下文说：务必保证你所作出的选择要适合于你的生活方式和个人的喜好。故G正确。
【小题5】B从下文中的“tutorials个别指导”可以看出“很多爱好可以在家里可以在闲暇时做”

下面文章中有5个段落需要添加小标题。请从以下选项（A、B、C、 D、E和F）中选出符合各段意思的小标题，并在答题纸上将相应选项的标号涂黑。选项中有一项是多余选项。
A．An apple a day keeps the doctor away．
B．Taking a swim after eating will threat your life,
C．Eating more carrots improves your health．
D．Going out in the cold with wet hair causes sickness．
E．Lightning never strikes the same place twice．
F．More crime occurs during a full moon．
Old Wives' Tales Proven Untrue
We all grew up with sayings that were intended to frighten us into being good or convince us to eat better．Looking back, some of these childhood proverbs don’t even make much sense．（Ever hear the claim that swallowed gum stays in your stomach for seven years? Uh-huh, sure．）However, there are quite a few out there that people still believe in．That's why we decided to investigate some common old wives' tales to see how they hold up under scientific scrutiny．From the moon's affect on crimes to the true causes of colds, this list is sure to surprise even the most enlightened among you．
【小题1】
False: Countless kids were scared into thinking that if they went back in the water less than 60 minutes after eating, they would suddenly cramp up （the muscles get suddenly tightened） and drown．But according to MayoClinic．com, it's perfectly safe to swim after you eat a light meal or snack． The site does recommend taking a short break after eating a big meal, however, not because of cramping, but due to extreme lack of energy． As is known to us all, after eating, more of our blood goes to help the digestive system．
【小题2】
Partially True: This saying has been around since before the discovery of an apple's vital nutrients: Vitamin C and polyphenols．Regardless, the core of the matter is that while this fruit will help keep you well, it's not always enough to keep you out of the medical danger zone; When you're ill, your body requires nutrients from all the different types of food in a well-balanced diet, including fruits, vegetables, yogurt, protein and, of course, chicken soup．Only one kind of specific fruit or food can not solve all the problems．
【小题3】
False: According to the National Weather Service, lightning can strike the same place numerous times, especially if it's a tall, pointed and isolated object． For example, the EmPire State Building, a skyscraper on Fifth Avenue, New York City, USA, which was for long the tallest building in the world, 'is hit an average of 25 times a year． That is the reason why it was once used as a lightning laboratory． Lightning often strikes more than three miles from the thunderstorm and laughs at two inches of rubber!
【小题4】
False: Neither wet nor dry hair significantly increases your chances of getting sick．WebM D.com says colds are solely caused when viruses are passed from one person to another, so you should be more concerned with how often you wash your hands, not your hair． A proper way to keep healthy is to develop good personal habits of life．Prevention is always the best cure, better than any drug and treatment．
【小题5】
False: Many interesting things are thought to increase during a full moon emergency room visits, accidents, ability to have babies, werewolves．Almost all these phenomena are attributed to the Lunar Effect, which tries to link unusual, unbelievable, or unacceptable behavior and the phases of the moon． However, according to myth-buster and syndicated columnist, Cecil Adams, there is no truth at all behind the theory．

首先请阅读下列汽车广告的信息：
| A Renault Menage: This luxury car provides a comfortable driving experience and is packed full of extras (GPS, electric seats, automatic park brake etc). But its powerful engine means you had better be prepared for a big fuel bill each week. Price: $ 85,000 |  |
| B Hyundai i20: Ideal for short journeys but lacks the power and comfort needed to make long-distance driving enjoyable. Still, at this price you can't complain and you'll be smiling when you have to fill up the tank too. Price: $8,000 |  |
| C Fiat 500: Although expensive, it will soon pay for itself with the money you save on petrol. It has the most efficient and cleanest petrol-powered engine currently available. Its size, easy handling and luxury interior make it ideal for city driving. Price: $ 35, 999 |  |
| D Land Rover Discovery: With seating for 7, this car is suitable for all driving conditions. It has the control needed for inner city driving and the power required for rough roads and carrying heavy loads. But it's among the least fuel efficient vehicles in its class. Price: $ 51, 999 |  |
| E GM Transit: It packs an impressive amount of room inside. It steers nicely, is fuel efficient and has a commanding driving position. But the lack of rear side windows and a noisy interior limit its appeal as a people mover. Price: $ 22,499 |  |
| F Ford Wagon: With room for 12 passengers, it combines the toughness and power needed for long-distance journeys with all the comforts that will keep passengers satisfied. Its optional luggage roof racks also mean nothing will ever have to be left behind. Price: $42,000 |  |

Mark began to introduce the guest speaker to the audience, but then he paused in horror._ 【小题1】_
Barbara hid her jewelry when she went on vacation. When she came back, she couldn't remember where she'd put it.
__【小题2】__ Most people have. But memory can be developed.
First, relax. If you're overanxious about remembering something, you'll forget it._ 【小题3】__ Take a deep breath and tell yourself that you have all the time in the world to remember.

To improve your memory, you'll need to take an active role. Like your body, your memory can be strengthened through exercise.__ 【小题4】__ For example, if you're learning a language, try to actively remember irregular verbs.

| B．He had forgotten her name. |
