26、 Developing a hobby makes you an interesting person and gives you something fun and enjoyable to do in your free time. 【1】 So how can you find a suitable hobby for yourself? Find what interests you.
If you try to force yourself into a hobby that you hate, it’s not going to last! 【2】 For example, if you enjoy watching sports on television, you might have fun playing one. If you pick out something you like, you’re more likely to find a hobby that you still stick with (坚持)!
Determine the availability (有效性) of resources.
Make a list of what interests you, and determine what you can afford. While it may be easier to list the possible hobbies that you can develop, the real question is whether you will be able to afford it or not. 【3】
Remove the unrealistic options (选择).
【4】 But you can’t choose it for some reason. For example, you may like oil painting a great deal, but you can’t paint, as others in the house may find the smell unpleasant.
Try out the hobby options .
Once you have removed the unrealistic hobbies, it will become easier for you to know your actual possibilities. 【5】 In fact, you also have the chance of trying out all the hobbies that remain on the list and know what keeps you the most interesting.

G. It also opens up new opportunities of meeting people who keep similar interests.
27、Growth that Starts from Thinking
It seems to me a very difficult thing to put into words the beliefs we hold and what they make you do in your life. I think I was fortunate because I grew up in a family where there was a very deep religious(宗教的)feeling. I don’t think it was spoken of a great deal. It was more or less taken for granted that everybody held certain beliefs and needed certain enhancements of their own strength and that that came through your belief in God.
But as I grew older I questioned a great many of the things that I knew very well my grandmother who had brought me up had taken for granted. And I think I might have been a quite difficult person to live with if it hadn’t been for the fact that my husband once said it didn’t do you any harm to learn those things, so why not let your children learn them? When they grow up they’ll think things out for themselves.
And that gave me a feeling that perhaps that’s what we all must do—think out for ourselves what we could believe and how we could live by it. And so I came to the conclusion that you had to use this life to develop the very best that you could develop.
I don’t know whether I believe in a future life. I believe that all that you go through here must have some value, therefore there must be some reason. And there must be some “going on”. How exactly that happens I’ve never been able to decide. There is a future—that I’m sure of. But how, that I don’t know. And I came to feel that it didn’t really matter very much because whatever the future held you’d have to face it when you came to it, just as whatever life holds you have to face it exactly the same way. And the important thing was that you never let down doing the best that you were able to do—it might be poor because you might not have very much within you to give, or to help other people with, or to live your life with. But as long as you did the very best that you were able to do, then that was what you were put here to do and that was what you were accomplishing by being here.
And So I have tried to follow that out—and not to worry about the future or what was going to happen. I think I am pretty much of a fatalist(宿命论者). You have to accept whatever comes and the only important thing is that you meet it with courage and with the best that you have to give.

28、 One day a poor man was begging with an old wallet in his hand. As he felt sad at his own bad luck, he kept wondering why some wealthy people were never satisfied and were always wanting more.
“Here,” said he, “is the master of this house—I know him well. He is a wealthy businessman. He should have turned over his business to others, and then he could have spent the rest of his life happily, but he didn’t. Instead, he sent his ships to sea to trade with foreign lands. However, there were great storms on the water, so his ships were destroyed and his treasure disappeared in the sea. As for me, if I had only enough to eat and to buy clothing, I would not want anything more.”
Just at that moment, Fortune came down the street. She saw the poor man and stopped. She said to him, “Listen! I want to help you. Hold your wallet, and I will pour this gold into it, but only on this condition: all that falls into the wallet shall be pure gold, but every piece that falls upon the ground shall become dust. Do you understand?”
“Oh, yes,” said the poor man.
“Then be careful,” said Fortune. “Your wallet is old, so do not load it too heavily.”
The beggar was so glad that he quickly opened his wallet, and a stream of yellow dollars poured into it. The wallet grew heavy.
“Is that enough?” asked Fortune.
“Not yet.”
“Isn’t the wallet cracking (裂开)?”
“Never fear.”
The beggar’s hands began to tremble. Ah, if the gold would only pour forever!
“You are the richest man in the world now!”
“Just a little more, add just a handful or two.”
Another piece was added, and the wallet cracked. The treasure fell upon the ground and turned to dust. The beggar had nothing now but his empty wallet. He was as poor as before.
【1】What happened to the wealthy businessman?
A.He was robbed of his money. B.His ships sank at sea.
C.His treasure turned to dust. D.He gave his money to the poor.
【2】Why do you think Fortune gave the gold to the poor man?
A.She wanted to make the poor man the richest in the world.
B.She had too much gold already.
C.She wanted to teach the poor man a lesson.
D.She liked the way the poor man spoke.
【3】Which word best describes the poor man?

C.wise D.greedy
【4】What is the best title for this article?
A.The poor man and Fortune
B.The poor man and the businessman
C.The poor man and his wallet

32、Directions:Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main points of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.
Most people want to be happy, but few know how to find happiness. Money and success alone do not bring lasting happiness. Aristotle, a Greek thinker, said, "Happiness depends upon ourselves." In other words, we make our own happiness. Here are a few suggestions to help you be happier.
The first secret of happiness is to enjoy the simple things in life. Too often, we spend too much time thinking about the future-for example, getting into college or getting a good job-that we fail to enjoy the present. You should enjoy life's simple pleasures, such as reading a good book, listening to your favorite music, or spending time with close friends. People who have several close friends often live happier and healthier lives.
Another secret to living a happy life is to be active. Many people go dancing or play sports. People can forget about their problems and only think about the activities.
Finally, many people find happiness in helping others. Studies show that people feel good when they spend their time helping others. If you want to feel happier, do good things for someone. You can help a friend with his or her studies, go shopping to buy food for an elderly person, or simply help out around the house by washing the dishes.
