Hobbies should be an important part of everyone's life. Today, we’re going to talk about one of the oldest and most popular hobbies: collecting. Want to start your own collection? Here are the ways.

__________

First, you have to decide what you’re going to collect. It’s okay to pick something that simply interests you. If you love reading, books are a great choice.

__________

You need to start with usual and cheap pieces, and they will build your collection’s foundation (基礎(chǔ)). As you’re doing your homework (see below), you’ll come to know those pieces. Think of it like a pyramid(金字塔)—- there has to be a foundation before you can move up into better pieces.

__________

Before collecting, do some research on what you’re collecting. Of course there are collectors like you. So get on the website, ask them questions and find out where to start.

__________

It’s easy for many starters to spend a lot of money, end up with many things, and finally lose interest. The beauty of having a collection is that it should be something you can make into a “career—beginning as a young man and continuing through retirement (退休)”. Make it a goal to add just a few pieces to your collection per year.

Answer the questions （根據(jù)以下內(nèi)容回答問題）

Do you think you’re a lucky person? Let’s see what Professor Richard Wise-man, a famous psychologist（心理學家）, has discovered about luck:

Ten years ago, I set out a research on luck. I wanted to know why some people are always in the right place at the right time, while others always experience ill luck.

Many people volunteered for my research. Over the years I interviewed them, watched their lives and had them take part in my experiment.

I carried out a simple experiment to discover why there were differences in their ability to find opportunities. I gave both lucky and unlucky people a newspaper and asked them to look through it an tell me how many photographs were in side.

I had secretly placed a large message halfway through the newspaper saying. “Tell the researcher you have seen this and win $50.”

This message took up half of the page and was more than two inches high. It was staring everyone straight in the face, but unlucky people tended to （傾向于）miss it and lucky people tended to spot it.

Unlucky people are just more nervous than lucky people. They are busy looking only for what they need and this stops them from noticing the unexpected. As a result, they miss out on opportunities.

Lucky people tend to be more relaxed and open. They can see everything that is in front of them, rather than just what they are looking for.

My research shows that lucky people live by several principles（原則）. Here are some of these principles:

1.Opportunities are always given to those who are prepared.

2. Be open to new experiences and break your normal thought patterns（模式）.

3.Spend a few moments each day remembering things that went well.

4.See yourself being lucky before an important meeting or phone call.

1.How long has Professor Richard Wise-man studied on luck?

2.What did the volunteers do for the professor during the research?

3.What’s the purpose of Professor Richard Wise-man’s small experiment?

4.The message in the newspaper was so small that unlucky people couldn’t find it, wasn’t it?

5.Why did the unlucky fail to find the message in the newspaper according to the research?

6.Which principle of the four is the most important in your opinion? Why?

Even though she’s quite young, Drew Barrymore can be a Hollywood legend (傳奇). She was born on February 22, 1975, in California. Being from a family that produced great actors, she quickly found her way into the spotlight (聚光燈).

When she was 11 months old, she made her first advertisement on TV. She made her first movie at the age of 2. Five years later, she acted Gertie in Steven Spielberg’s famous film E.T. (1982).

However, it wasn’t all roses and sunshine when Barrymore was growing up. She once went to the dark side and became a big problem. Most kid stars in Hollywood fail to become stars as adults. And most of the time, once they’re out of the spotlight, they stay out. But Drew Barrymore doesn’t. As she was growing older, Barrymore started to realize that life is more meaningful than dangerous actions in the films. She started to build a career in 1997. She has made a series of successful films since then, including Charlie’s Angels (2000) and 50 First Dates (2004).

“In my life, there is darkness and drama, and I have yet to explore some of that in my work life. I just want to challenge myself and prove that I can do more.”

Actually, anyone who’s not familiar with her disordered childhood might find it hard to believe she’s such a sweet person now. Like many of the characters she plays in her comedy, Drew is easy-going and laughs a lot. In 2007, she was on the cover of People magazine’s 100 Most Beautiful People issue.

“Life is very interesting ... in the end, some of your greatest pains, become your greatest strengths,” Drew said.

1.Drew Barrymore made her first movie in ___________.

A.1975 B.1977 C.1979 D.1982

2.Drew Barrymore can be a Hollywood legend mainly because ___________.

A.she always has roses and sunshine in her life

B.she used to be a famous kid star in Hollywood

C.she didn’t give up even when she met difficulties

3.Which is the correct order of Drew Barrymore’s life?

①She made the film Charlie’s Angels.

②She went to the dark side and became a big problem.

③She acted Gertie in Steven Spielberg’s famous film E.T.

④She is on the cover of People magazine’s 100 Most Beautiful People issue.

A.③②①④ B.④②①③ C.②③④① D.①③②④

4.Which of the following chart (圖表) can best describe Drew Barrymore’s career (till 2007)?

A. B. C. D.

5.Which of the following words can be used to describe Drew Barrymore according to the passage?

A.Interesting. B.Strong-minded. C.Beautiful. D.Clever.
