From Monday until Friday most people are busy working or studying, but in the evenings and on weekends they are free to relax (放松) and enjoy themselves. Some watch TV or go to the movies; others take part in sports. It depends on individual interests. There are many different ways to spend our spare time.
Almost everyone has some kinds of hobbies. It may be anything from collecting stamps to making model airplanes. Some collections are very expensive, but others don’t cost anything at all. Some collections are worth a lot 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 rare (稀有的) fifty cent piece worth $250! He was very happy about his buying and thought the price was reasonable (合理的). On the other hand, my youngest brother collects matchboxes. He has almost 600 of them but I doubt (懷疑) if they are worth any money. However, to my brother they are very valuable. Nothing makes him happier than to find a new matchbox for his collection.
That’s what a hobby means, I guess. It is something we like to do in our spare time simply for the fun of it. The value in dollars is not important, but the pleasure it gives us is.
【小題1】The underlined word “individual” in the first paragraph most probably means____ .
| A．different | B．strange | C．secret | D．one's own |
| A．a(chǎn)ll hobbies are very expensive | B．some hobbies don't cost anything |
| C．hobbies are worthless | D．hobbies are valuable to everybody |
| A．job | B．pleasure | C．hobby | D．habit |
| A．The writer's brother has a large collection of matchboxes, which makes him very happy. |
| B．We collect a subject in our spare time simply for the fun of it. |
| C．The pleasure that a hobby can give is important. |
| D．To have a hobby means to spend a lot of money. |

【小題3】C 細(xì)節(jié)題。根據(jù)最后一段1,2行That’s what a hobby means, I guess. It is something we like to do in our spare time simply for the fun of it.這就是hobby的定義，說(shuō)明C正確。
【小題4】D 推理題。根據(jù)第二段第三行but others don’t cost anything at all.說(shuō)明有些愛好根本不要花多少錢。故D說(shuō)法錯(cuò)誤。

B
As an effect of the high fuel prices spent on bus transportation, some American schools are changing to a four-day week. That means longer days instead of the traditional Monday through Friday schedule.
Having been approved for three years and beginning in the fall, students in the Maccray school district in Minnesota will be in school from Tuesday to Friday. Each school day will be 65 minutes longer. Officials say the district expects to save about sixty-five thousand dollars a year in transportation costs.
In new Mexico, the first school district changed to a four-day week in 1974 because of the Arab oil boycott(抵制). Now, 17 out of 89 districts use it.
In Custer, South Dakota, students have been going to school four days a week since 1995. Superintendent Tim Creal says the change has saved about one million dollars over just the past eight years. He sees other benefits, too. Students get more instructional time, and activities that used to take up class time are now held on non-school days. He says that in the future, the growth of online classes could make it possible to require even fewer days in school. High fuel prices are driving college students to take more online classes.
A four-day school week sounds like a great idea for students and teachers, but working parents may have to pay for child care for that fifth day.
1.According to Tim Creal, what makes it possible to have even fewer days in school?
A．The increasing number of private tutors.(私人教師)
B．The development of teaching methods.
C．The increase in the number of online classes.
D．The growth in the income of Americans.
2. It can be learned from the passage that______
A．students will be in school from Monday to Tuesday.
B．four-day week was first carried out in South Dakota.
C．Maccray will save one million dollars every year.
D．Minnesota state has approved the four-day week plan
3.The passage is mainly about______
A．some school’s four-day week plan B．districts using a four-day week.
C．how to save on transportation fees. D．expense of school transportation.
