Do you have a hobby—something you really enjoy doing in your spare time? Have you ever wondered what it would be like if you could spend more time on your hobby and less time at work? Maybe it’s not an either/or situation. Perhaps you can do both at the same time.

When choosing a career, one of the things you must consider is your interests. Why then do so many people not even think about their hobbies when a hobby is, in fact, an interest? Perhaps it’s because even Webster’s Dictionary defines a hobby as “a pursuit (消遣，嗜好) outside one’s regular occupation (职业)”. Maybe this is a rule you should break. After all, no one ever said your hobby had to stay separate from your occupation. In addition people are usually very skilled at their hobbies. The combination of interest and skill is a very compelling (令人信服的) reason to choose a particular career.

“Who’s going to hire someone who loves making beaded (串珠状的) jewelry?” you may ask yourself. Good question. Don’t wait for someone to hire you. Start your own business. That may be the best way to combine your hobby with your career. Those with hobbies that involve creating things, i.e. jewelry, clothing, or pottery, may do well to sell those items on their own. Before you go forward with your plans, though, you should find out whether being an entrepreneur (企业家) is for you.

When you attempt to turn your hobby into a career, don’t forget to do your homework. Even though you may have enjoyed training your pet birds to sing the national song, that doesn’t mean you’re suitable to be an animal trainer. Be sure to research your career choice completely. There may be aspects（方面）of it that just aren’t for you. In that case, stick to your day job, as they say, and save your hobby for your free time.

1. Why does the writer ask two questions in the first paragraph?

A. To lead in the topic of hobby and career.

B. To describe what can be a hobby.

C. To compare hobbies with work.

D. To explain what a hobby is.

2. We can infer（推断）from paragraph 2 that many people ___________.

A. always mix their interest with their hobbies

B. often separate their hobbies from their jobs

C. daren’t break a rule of choosing their jobs

D. don’t know the true meaning of a hobby

3.What can we learn from the last paragraph?

A. Doing one’s homework may be a hobby.

B. A day job can’t be a hobby in your spare time.

C. Not every hobby is suitable to become a career.

D. An animal trainer has a hobby of singing songs.

4. By writing this passage, the writer wants to introduce ___________.

A. how to choose a hobby for your free time

B. how to develop your own hobby

C. how to treat your job as a hobby

D. how to turn a hobby into a career

Life is difficult.

What do you think about life? Maybe most people say that life is difficult. But life is no longer difficult once we truly understand and accept it. Most people do not fully see this truth. Instead, they complain about their problems and difficulties as if life should be easy. It seems to them that their difficulties represent a special kind of suffering especially forced upon (强加于) them or their families, their class, or even their nation.

What makes life difficult is that the process of facing and solving problems is a painful one. Problems, depending on their nature, cause us sadness or loneliness or regret or anger or fear. These are uncomfortable feelings, often as painful as any kind of physical pain. And since life causes an endless series of problems, life is always difficult and is full of pain as well as joy.

Yet, it is in this whole process of solving problems that life has its meaning.

Problems are the serious test that tells success from failure. When we desire to encourage the growth of the human spirit, we encourage the human ability to solve problems, just as in school we set problems for our children to solve. It is through the pain of meeting and working out problems that we learn. As Benjamin Franklin said, “Those things that hurt instruct.” It is for this reason that wise people learn not to fear but to welcome the pain of problems.

1.The writer probably used just one short sentence in the first paragraph to _________.

A. show his opinion　　 B. argue with readers

C. give an example　　 D. get readers’ attention

2.According to the passage we give school children difficult problems in order to _________.

A. encourage them to solve problems

B. teach them to fear the pain of solving problems

C. help them learn to deal with pain

D. teach them how to respect problems

3.The saying from Benjamin Franklin “Those things that hurt instruct.” suggests that _________.

A. we do not learn from experience

B. we do not learn when we are in pain

C. pain teaches us important lessons

D. the pain of problems is not welcome

4.The passage mainly tells us that _________.

A. we become stronger by facing and solving the problems of life

B. life is difficult because our problems bring us pain

C. people like to complain about their problems

D. everybody has problems
