A hobby can be almost anything that a person likes to do in his spare time. Hobbyists raise pets, watch birds, paint pictures, play the piano and grow flowers. They collect everything from books to butterflies and from boxes to stamps.
People take up hobbies because these activities offer enjoyment, friendship and relaxation. Hobbies help people relax after a long time of hard work, and provide a balance (平衡) between work and play. Hobbies offer interesting activities for the old. Some hobbies can make a child grow as a person, develop his interest and help him learn new skills. Doctors have found that hobbies are useful in helping patients (病人) recover (恢复) from illness. Hobbies give patients who can’t move around something to do, and provide interests that keep them from thinking about themselves.

Being able to multitask—doing several things at the same time—is considered (考虑,认为) a welcome skill by most people. But if we consider the situation of the young people aged from eight to eighteen, we should think again.
What we often see nowadays is that young people juggle a larger number of electronic devices (电子产品) as they study. While working, they also surf on the Internet, send out emails, answer the telephone and listen to music on their iPods. In a sense, they are spending a large amount of time in fruitless efforts (努力) as they multitask.
Multitasking is even changing the relationship between family members. As young people give so much attention to their own worlds, they seem to have no time to spend with the other people around them. They can no longer greet family members when they enter the house, nor can they eat at the family table.
Multitasking also has an effect (影响) on young people’s performance at university and in the workplace. When asked about their opinions of the effects of modern gadgets (器具) on their performance of tasks, many young people gave a positive (肯定的) response (回应). However, the response from the worlds of education and business was not quite as positive. Educators feel that multitasking by children has a serious effect on later development of study skills. They believe that many college students now need help to improve their study skills. Similarly, employers (雇主) feel that young people entering the job market need to be taught all over again, as modern gadgets have made it unnecessary (没必要) for them to learn special skills to do their work. What does the underlined word “juggle” most probably mean?
A.Want to buy. | B.Use at the same time. |
C.Take the place of. | D.Search information from. |
In Paragraph 3, the author points out that__________.
A.family members do not greet each other |
B.family members do not eat at the family table |
C.young people get on well with their families |
D.young people hardly communicate with their family members |
What’s the main idea of the last paragraph?
A.Young people must learn skills for future jobs. |
B.Young people benefit (获益) a lot from modern gadgets. |
C.Multitasking is an important skill to young people. |
D.Multitasking influences young people’s development seriously. |
Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A.Young people think multitasking is good for their study and work. |
B.Employers consider it unnecessary for young people to be taught all over again. |
C.Educators feel that young people don’t need to improve their study skills. |
D.People from the world of education believe multitasking has a good effect on children’s later study skills. |
The author develops (阐述) the passage mainly by__________.
A.providing special examples |
B.following the natural time order |
C.giving out a cause and analyzing (分析) its effects |
D.comparing opinions from different worlds |

We need to be responsible for our environment. Being a frugal consumer(节俭的消费者) is one way to help. But, what exactly does that mean?
Use It Up
You can use things up instead of wasting them. Squeeze that last bit of toothpaste out of the tube. Use the last little piece of soap. Don't throw away any bits of the biscuit at the bottom of the box.
Wear It Out
You do not always need to have new things. Suppose your sneakers have broken laces, but they still fit you. Repair them and wear them longer. You don't have the latest iPhone until the old one doesn't work anymore. Then you can get a new one. Think twice before replacing something that still works.
Make It Do
When something you want is not on hand, look for something else that you already have to take its place. Suppose you are packing your lunch for tomorrow and want a butter sandwich. You are out of butter. Have a cheese sandwich instead so that you can use all of the cheese. Learn to fix broken toys instead of just throwing them away. With a little thought, you can make something do, instead of buying something new.
Do Without
Think about all those things that you would like to have. Do you really need them? How long will you really play with that new toy you saw on TV? Making the things that we want uses up your world's resources(资源). And, getting rid of the things we don't want any more takes up even more resources and space.
Do we need to be responsible for our environment?
How do we deal with the last little piece of soap?
When do we need to get a new iPhone?
What should we do when something we want is not on hand?
What does the writer want to tell us?
