A happy child has a hobby. That's
what
1
my mum always says. My sister's hobby is playing the piano. Many people have a
hobby
2
like hers. But some people have unusual ones. My hobby is studying the night sky.
Jim, a friend of mine, collects rocks. Everywhere he goes, he will stop and look at rocks.
When
3
he finds an interesting one, he takes it home. Now his room is
full
4
of rocks and there is no room for more. Rock collecting helps Jim learn more about geology (地质学) and science. Jim says, "My life may become unhappy
without
5
a hobby."
My mum's friend collects salt and pepper pots(瓶). These salt and pepper pots have to have something to do with bears.
They
6
can have a picture of a bear or look like a bear. People usually take up their first hobby when they're kids, but hobbies are fun for all ages. It's
never
7
too late to learn something new.
Last year, I saw a boy reading a book on a train. I said to him, "That is a good book." He said, "Yes, it is a good book. You see it
has
8
a green cover(封面). I love collecting books with green covers. They are very hard to find, so I spend a lot of time in
bookshops
9
." That's an unusual hobby. His dream is to have one wall in his house with only
green
10
books on it.
