From Monday to Friday most people are busy working or studying, but in the evenings and weekends they are free and 31 themselves. Some watch television or go to the cinema, others take part in sports. This is decided by their own 32 .
There are many different ways to spend our free time.
Almost everyone has some kind of 33 : it may be something from collecting stamps to ____34___ model planes. Some hobbies are very 35 , but others don’t cost anything at all. Some collections are worth(值得…的) 36 of money, others are valuable(有价值的) only to their owners.
I know a man who has a coin collection worth several 37 dollars. A short time ago he bought a rare(罕见的)fifty-cent piece which 38 him $250! He was very happy about this collection and thought the price was all right. On the other hand, my youngest brother collects match boxes. He has almost 600 of them, but I wonder(怀疑) if they are worth any money. However, 39 my brother they are quite valuable.
40 makes him happier than to find a new match box for his collection.

The lady with the white fence（篱笆）taught me to leave the gale to life open.. .
My husband died in an accident and I became very angry. I hated being alone. One day, as I was 43 down a busy street, I suddenly noticed a new fence around a house. I pulled off to really watch it. It was such a good 44 that I was deeply touched. I could not send 45 away. The fence still smelled of fresh paint.
“Hello!" I came up and said to a lady in the back garden, “I came to see the fence. It's so beautiful!"
“Oh! The fence is not there for me," the lady explained to me in a calm voice, “I live alone. _ 46_
so many people pass by every day, and I think they may be pleased to see something really attractive. 47 stop like you and come up to have a chat. "
"But weren't you sad when they expanded (拓宽) the road and everything changed so much?"
"Change is part of life 
and takes part in 48 us who we are. When something we do not
like happens to us, we have two choices—to become a 49 person or to become a better person."
Her reply changed my life. I carefully left the gate open and drove on 50 a new feeling inside me. I could not tell51 it was, but I could feel the thick stone wall around my angry heart breaking off. And52 a pretty white fence was built. I decided that I would keep the gate open for everything and everyone that came my way.
