A hobby is an investment of time. It also can be an investment of money and commitment. Many people choose to develop more than one type of hobby. 【小題1】    When it comes to choosing the hobby, consider the following factors.
Hobbies are usually an activity of some sort that brings out a certain skill that you have. When you have a talent like painting or woodworking, it can be easy to determine which hobby suits your skill. 【小題2】    Skill can be developed and challenged as you go along. It is not a necessary requirement. A hobby is fitting because you love it, not because you’re a professional at it.]
Some people particularly enjoy taking part in hobbies that they can do in a group with others. It can be a lot more fun to become a member of a hobby group than to sit alone in your basement. 【小題3】    It’s important to share interests and network with other hobby enthusiasts that do what you do.
Hobbies are generally an activity that you undertake because of the joy it brings you. Of course many people have discovered the joy that also comes with a hobby that earns you a living. 【小題4】   Just make sure you make the choice that fits your lifestyle and personal preference.
【小題5】    But most of the skilled hobbies like art, building or writing have a series of lessons or tutorials that you can take to further your skills. In some cases it’s a really good idea to take lessons, especially if you are clueless as to where or how to begin. Step by step books for most hobbies can often be found in bookstores as well.

A．However, hobbies don’t have to be skill related.
B．Most hobbies can easily be done within your own home, at your leisure.
C．Look one up or start your own.
D．Read hobby books to learn more about your chosen hobby!
E. Make a list of things that you enjoy or don’t know about.
F. It can be a necessary part of selecting the hobby that is right for you.
G. Whether it’s full time, part time or not at all, you must decide whether your hobby applies to you.

解析試題分析：短文就“什么是愛好”給出了解釋。并就“如何選擇發(fā)展愛好需要考慮的因素”提出了幾點(diǎn)建議。
【小題1】F下文談的是“選擇愛好應(yīng)該要考慮的因素”，所以說“選擇適合于你的愛好是必要的”
【小題2】A 文都是講的“愛好不必與你的技巧掛起鉤來”。
【小題3】C本段講的是既要分享別人的愛好，同時(shí)也要有自己的愛好拿出來與別人分享。
【小題4】G 下文說：務(wù)必保證你所作出的選擇要適合于你的生活方式和個(gè)人的喜好。故G正確。
【小題5】B從下文中的“tutorials個(gè)別指導(dǎo)”可以看出“很多愛好可以在家里可以在閑暇時(shí)做”

A．An apple a day keeps the doctor away．
B．Taking a swim after eating will threat your life,
C．Eating more carrots improves your health．
D．Going out in the cold with wet hair causes sickness．
E．Lightning never strikes the same place twice．
F．More crime occurs during a full moon．
Old Wives' Tales Proven Untrue
We all grew up with sayings that were intended to frighten us into being good or convince us to eat better．Looking back, some of these childhood proverbs don’t even make much sense．（Ever hear the claim that swallowed gum stays in your stomach for seven years? Uh-huh, sure．）However, there are quite a few out there that people still believe in．That's why we decided to investigate some common old wives' tales to see how they hold up under scientific scrutiny．From the moon's affect on crimes to the true causes of colds, this list is sure to surprise even the most enlightened among you．
【小題1】     
False: Countless kids were scared into thinking that if they went back in the water less than 60 minutes after eating, they would suddenly cramp up （the muscles get suddenly tightened） and drown．But according to MayoClinic．com, it's perfectly safe to swim after you eat a light meal or snack． The site does recommend taking a short break after eating a big meal, however, not because of cramping, but due to extreme lack of energy． As is known to us all, after eating, more of our blood goes to help the digestive system．
【小題2】      
Partially True: This saying has been around since before the discovery of an apple's vital nutrients: Vitamin C and polyphenols．Regardless, the core of the matter is that while this fruit will help keep you well, it's not always enough to keep you out of the medical danger zone; When you're ill, your body requires nutrients from all the different types of food in a well-balanced diet, including fruits, vegetables, yogurt, protein and, of course, chicken soup．Only one kind of specific fruit or food can not solve all the problems．
【小題3】      
False: According to the National Weather Service, lightning can strike the same place numerous times, especially if it's a tall, pointed and isolated object． For example, the EmPire State Building, a skyscraper on Fifth Avenue, New York City, USA, which was for long the tallest building in the world, 'is hit an average of 25 times a year． That is the reason why it was once used as a lightning laboratory． Lightning often strikes more than three miles from the thunderstorm and laughs at two  inches of rubber!
【小題4】      
False: Neither wet nor dry hair significantly increases your chances of getting sick．WebM  D.com says colds are solely caused when viruses are passed from one person to another, so you should be more concerned with how often you wash your hands, not your hair． A proper way to keep healthy is to develop good personal habits of life．Prevention is always the best cure, better than any drug and treatment．
【小題5】      
False: Many interesting things are thought to increase during a full moon emergency room visits, accidents, ability to have babies, werewolves．Almost all these phenomena are attributed to the Lunar Effect, which tries to link unusual, unbelievable, or unacceptable behavior and the phases of the moon． However, according to myth-buster and syndicated columnist, Cecil Adams, there is no truth at all behind the theory．

In the past few decades, the popular belief in the area of organizational behavior and psychology has been that    【小題1】    workers are better workers. However, new research at the University of Alberta shows that sad workers are more    【小題2】    .
Psychologist Dr. Robert Sinclair recently conducted a series of four studies 【小題3】   the effects of experimentally induced ( 誘發(fā)的 ) happiness versus sadness on work    【小題4】     by asking the participants to build circuit boards. In the first study, sad people committed    【小題5】     few errors than did happy people, but there was no difference in the number of boards    【小題6】    .
In similar studies Sinclair found the same results along with the evidence that happy people might not     【小題7】    as much energy to the task in order to maintain their happy moods ---- they considered that task as something that might detract from their     【小題8】    feelings.
These findings are not surprising, said Sinclair, since there has been a growing body of literature in the area of social psychology     【小題9】   that sad moods lead to more calm lengthy intent consideration and often, more thought or accurate judgments. So it’s important for organizations to take into account the    【小題10】  of their employees. It seems it could be beneficial to creating situations that lead people to believe that performing their jobs will cause them to feel good.

Plan your time carefully. When planning your work, you should make a list of things that you have to do. After making this list, you should make a schedule of your time.
