A
If you are genuinely interested in an activity, it soon takes the form of a hobby. The more expertise you have in your hobby, the more are the chances that you can make money with it.
The most appropriate examples of hobbies and interests that make money and relate to the computer world can be found in the field of computer games testing and computer hacking.
If you take pleasure in playing PC games, finding the glitches or bugs(errors) in them, you are the right man. The software companies, which create and sell computer games, pay fortunes to people like you who could help them improve their products. Have you ever seriously thought that this time-consuming and unproductive hobby could be the one that will make money for you?
There was a time when one could easily distinguish between the hobbies for women and men, but not any more. In today's free world, where muscle power is surpassed by mental muscles, everyone is free to follow his or her own interests. A man's interest could be others' idea of boredom and vanity. Some people like indoor activities that can be carried on within their homes. On the other hand, many people like to get involved in outdoor activities. Both the activities have a fair chance of developing into hobbies that make money.
There are people who know how to make their hobbies earn some bucks for them. You may find that any hobby pursued to the perfection becomes an art. People always pay for perfection. Among the interests, hobby and money, first comes the interest, which encourages you to strive and master a hobby. If it holds true with you, now, it is time to extend yourself and make some money.

Questions like this happen to be popular at job interviews. More often people are embarrassed to talk about their favorite hobbies and interests and seem to be surprised.
Though, the most important task for the interviewer is to evaluate the candidate's specific competencies for the job, when asking about your hobbies and interest he keens to dig deep into your personal life.
Why do they ask "What are your favorite interests and hobbies"?
The employer has a simple yet vital reason for putting forward this question. They want to get a broader perspective about you. Your life outside work may tell a lot about you.
while describing your hobbies and interests.
Ideally, you should describe a hobby or interests that add value to the job in consideration.
* Select those activities that can give you an edge over others as a candidate. One good example:
If you have applied for a managerial position but do not have prior managerial experience, you may talk about you were skilled to manage and initiate community service or any such social involvement.
* Don't use a general statement to describe your hobbies, such as, "My hobbies are listening to music, watching television, etc". Such an answer distracts the attention of the employer and will not make the impression you want. Further, you may lose the chance for keeping the interest in you.
* Try to balance in listing individual hobbies as well as being part of group activities.
Most importantly, be honest and back up whatever you say about your hobbies. You may even tell an interesting story—being straightforward is always better.

Tolstoy once called boredom "The desire for desires". It may be an acute, desperate sense of wanting something, anything to think about, or it may be a continuing feeling of ennui((法)厌倦) that goes throughout your day-to-day, forcing you to subconsciously(潜意识地) fill up the empty spaces in your time with unfulfilled donkeywork. If either situation rings true, you need a hobby.
Most people don't even realize that they don't have a hobby—they know they have interests, but because those interests don't necessarily contribute to income or security, they get mentally pushed to the back burner as a "someday" self-promise. Interests may fascinate you, but a hobby means you're doing something about it—it gives you something to think about, something to talk
about, and something to look forward to. Some hobbies may even generate some income.
Choosing a hobby is simple—just think of something you love or have always wanted to know more about, and go from there. Of course, you may have too many potential interests all bottled up waiting for the "some day", so how do you decide? There's a Jewish proverb that says "When a habit begins to cost money, it's called a hobby." If that doesn't narrow it down enough, consider how the different types of hobbies fit into your lifestyle and interest.
Take "making" as an example. The "making" hobbies are the opposite of "collecting" hobbies. Sure, you'll need to accumulate a certain amount of tools and materials, but the main focus on the hobby is the output instead of the input. Crafters have these hobbies in the bag—scrapbooking, knitting, painting and needlepoint are all very typical and easy to learn, but "making" hobbies also include things like baking, poetry, photography and blogging. The common thread being that when you have finished practicing your hobby for the day, you are left with something that wasn't there before—it came to life right in your hands. Your friends would prefer if you chose baking instead of poetry.
11. When all the following situations appear EXCEPT , you need a hobby.
A. that you have a strong desire of wanting something
B. that you are feeling very tired all day long with meaningless work
C. that you think you have too much work to deal with
D. that you have a wish to kill your spare time
12. What is the difference between hobbies and interests?
A. Hobbies may sometimes bring in income while interests may not.
B. Interests may get in secure income while hobbies may not.
C. Most people have hobbies or interests that can benefit themselves.
D. Interests may attract your attention while hobbies may not.
13. What can you do to choose your hobby?
A. Change your habit into your hobby earlier.
B. Keep your potential interests for the "some day".
C. Decide what you have always wished most.
D. Consider the different types of hobbies first.
14. What do you need to develop your "making" hobbies?
A. Practice skills and abilities for your hobby.
B. Enough tools and materials to make an input.
C. Things like baking, poetry, photography and blogging.
D. A certain number of tools and materials to make an output.
D
Why do people buy art? To answer this question, ask yourself what your reasons are for thinking of getting a piece of art. An artwork can cost a large amount of money, but if it meets your needs, it's worth every penny.
People buy art for many reasons. Many people buy an artwork simply because they like it, even if it is by an unknown artist. Art, as long as you enjoy it, is never a waste of money.
Art is for enjoyment. Art is meant to be shown. Don't ever feel pressured into buying something you won't enjoy looking at day after day, no matter what other people may say. Don't
buy something that doesn't attract you just because it is trendy, or because the artist is famous, or because you have been advised that the artwork will make a good investment. If you don't like the artwork at all, don't buy it!
Art improves your environment. Have you ever noticed that all beautiful homes have art as an integral(必需的) part of the decoration? Art lends life and color to otherwise plain and ordinary walls. A well thought-out art collection will help create a unique atmosphere in your home and make it more attractive.
Art makes a statement. The kind of art you surround yourself with says much about your personality, tastes and values. Art truly is a mirror of the soul.
Art enriches your life. Love—even the love of a work of art—contributes to healthier living and a longer lifespan(寿命). Art should enrich your life. Otherwise, why do you spend precious time and resources on it?
Just remember to select something which will appeal to your tastes, and keep to a sensible budget. Good art needn't cost an arm and a leg.
Happy art collecting!

It's certainly not unusual for little girls to enjoy playing dress-up, but a third-grader in Omaha, Neb., is taking the hobby to a whole new level.
Stella Ehrhart may be only 8 years old, but she sure knows her history. Every day she goes to class at Dundee Elementary School dressed as someone, usually a woman, of historical significance(意义).
"On the second day of the second grade, she decided that the next day she was going to dress as someone different. It's been so much fun to see where she's going with it. She isn't doing it to take the focus away from anyone. She is just doing it to be creative." Kevin Ehrhart, her father, told https://www.360docs.net/doc/8d18477421.html,.
"I'm just so proud of how creative she is. I work at the Children's Theater here in Omaha, so out of necessity I've taken her into my acting classes.

"I don't know if we're that different, but I have always tried to follow up on what the children seem to be interested in. If it comes from their own initiative(主动性), they're going to put a lot more energy into it," Kevin Ehrhart said. "Just listen and pay respect to those ideas the children have. It's amazing to see how the smallest idea just grows into a more solid and complete experience."

高一英语阅读理解试题（生态、环保类） 生态类 (1) A Wolf in Danger What is happening to the timber wolf today? Native Americans and early settlers often went to sleep to the sound of a lonely lullaby(催眠曲). It was the song of the wolf howling in a distant forest. There were many wolves then. One kind was the North American timber wolf. Wolves are important to the balance of nature because they eat sick and weak animals. In Colorado, people tried to help deer by shooting wolves. But then there were so many deer that many of them starved to death. The timber wolf is on the endangered special list. Animals on this list are in danger of disappearing from the earth. People drove the wolves away by cutting down the forests to build houses, towns, and highways. Timber wolves are now found only in Canada, Alaska, Michigan, and Minnesota. This special animal may soon disappear from our forests forever. Then, its lonely howl will never be heard again. 1. Animals that are in danger of disappearing from the earth are called a _______species. A. endangered B. living C. alive D. lived 2. Wolves help the balance of nature because they _______.

高一英语阅读理解题20套(带答案) 一、高中英语阅读理解 1．阅读理解 Even a small increase in light activity such as washing dishes, or walking around the house might help prevent an early death among older adults, researchers say. "It is important for elderly people, who might not be able to do much moderate intensity（强度）activity, that just moving around and doing light intensity activity will have strong effects and is beneficial," said Ulf Ekelund, who led the research. Published in the BMJ, the latest research was based on a review of eight studies involving a total of more than 36,000 people with an average age of almost 63 years. Participants were followed for five to six years; 2,149 deaths were recorded. All of the studies involved monitoring the physical activity of individuals who had activity trackers, and the studies did not rely on self-reporting, which, the experts noted, could be unreliable. For each study participants were split into four equal-sized groups, based on the total amount of time spent actively, and the risk of death assessed, taking into account factors such as age, sex, body mass index, and socioeconomic status. This was then repeated for an amount of activity at different levels of intensity. The results were analyzed together to give an overview. The team found a greater amount of activity was linked to a lower risk of death. The results held for different intensities of activity. The team said the study supported the message "sit less and move more and more often". However, the study had limitations. It only looked at the situation for middle age and older adults, most of whom lived in the US or Europe, and some of the effect could be due to those people with a higher risk of death being less likely to be related to physical activity. Physical activity levels also were only measured over one period of time. Dr Gavin Sandercock, from the University of Essex, said the results suggested moving more brought bigger benefits than simply reducing the time of sitting, another factor measured in the study. "This study reinforces the important message that getting the least active people to do even just a little bit more physical activity can have important public health benefits," he said. （1）Which of the following may Ulf Ekelund suggest elderly people do? A.lying on the sofa reading. B.Doing a little gentle gardening. C.Going out to hike with friends. D.Playing basketball sometimes. （2）What can we know about the research? A.It lasted about 8 years. B.The researchers admitted they used fake data. C.The participants didn't include younger people. D.Some participants died because of doing too much physical activity （3）What is the author's attitude towards the researchers' conclusion? A.Doubtful

新闻报道类 （I）★★★ MONTREAL (Reuters) – Crossing the US-Canada border（边界）to go to church on a Sunday （安全）rules. cost a US citizen ＄10,000 for breaking Washington’s strict new security The expensive trip to church was a surprise for Richard Albert, who lives right on the Canadian border. Like the other half-dozen people of Township 15, crossing the border is a daily occurrence for Albert. The nearby Quebec village of St. Pamphile is where they shop, eat and go to church. There are many such situations in these areas along the largely unguarded 5,530-mile border between Canada and the US-which in some cases actually runs down the middle of streets or through buildings. As a result, Albert says he did not expect any problems three weeks ago when he returned home to the US after attending church in Canada, as usual. The US customs（海关）station in this are is closed on Sundays, so be just drove around the locked gate, as he had done every weekend since the gate appeared last May, following a tightening of border security. Two days later. Albert was told to go to the customs office, where an officer told him he had been caught on camera crossing the border illegally（非法）. Ottawa has given out special passes to some 300 US citizens in that area so they can enter the country when Canadian customs stations are closed, but the US stopped a similar program last May. That forces the people to a 200-mile detour along hilly roads to get home through another border checkpoint. Albert has requested that the customs office change their decisions on the fine, but he has not attended a Sunday church since. “I feel like I’m living in a prison,” he said. 1．We learn from the text that Richard Albert is . A．an American living in Township 15 B．a Canadian living in a Quebec village C．a Canadian working in a customs station D．an American working in a Canadian church 2．Albert was fined because he . A．failed to obey traffic rules B．broke the American security rules C．worked in St. Pamphile without a pass D．damaged the gate of the customs office 3．The underlined word “detour” in paragraph 5 means . A．a drive through the town B．a race across the fields C．a roundabout way of travelling D．a journey in the mountain area 4．What would be the best title for the text? A．A Cross-country Trip B．A Special Border Pass C．An Unguarded Border D．An Expensive Church Visit 1-4 ABCD （II）★★ A young British sailor was missing at sea yesterday in similar circumstances(情况)to the way his father died five years ago．

高一英语阅读理解专项训练及答案及解析
高一英语阅读理解专项训练及答案及解析 一、高中英语阅读理解 1．阅读理解 Last week, Vodafone started a test of the UK's first full 5G service, available for use by businesses in Salford. It is part of its plan to trial the technology in seven UK cities. But what can we expect from the next generation of mobile technology? One thing we will see in the preparation for the test is lots of tricks with the new tech. Earlier this year, operators paid almost ￡ 1.4 billion for the 5G wavelengths, and to compensate for that cash, they will need to catch the eye of consumers. In September, Vodafone used its bit of the range to display the UK's first hologram (全息) call. The Manchester City captain Steph Houghton appeared as a hologram in Newbury. It isn't all holograms, however: 5G will offer faster internet access, with Ofcom (英国通讯管理局) suggesting that video that takes a minute to download on 4G will be available in just a second. The wider application is to support connected equipment on the "internet of things" -not just the internet-enabled fridge that can reorder your milk for you, but the network that will enable driverless cars and delivery drones (无人机) to communicate with each other. Prof William Webb has warned that the technology could be a case of the emperor's new clothes. Much of the speed increase, he claims, could have been achieved by putting more money in the 4G network, rather than a new technology. Other different voices have suggested that a focus on rolling out wider rural broadband access and addressing current network coverage would be more beneficial to the UK as a whole. Obviously, 5G will also bring a cost to consumers. It requires a handset for both 5G and 4G, and the first 5G-enabled smart phones are expected in the coming year. With the slow pace of network rollout so far, it is likely that consumers will end up upgrading to a new 5 G phone well before 5 G becomes widely available in the next couple of years. （1）Why does Prof William Webb say "the technology could be a case of the emperor's new clothes"? A. He is in favor of the application of the new technology. B. 5G will bring a cost to consumers in their daily life. C. 5G helps people communicate better with each other. D.

Moved with pity, the bird threw her a blade of grass, which supported her like a raft, and thus the ant reached the bank again. While she was resting and drying herself in the grass, she heard a man come near. He was walking along barefooted with a gun in his hand. As soon as he saw the dove, he wished to kill it. He would certainly have done so, but the ant bit him in the foot just as he raised his gun to fire. He stopped to see what had bit him, and the dove immediately flew away.
