　　From Monday to Friday, most people are busy working or studying．But in the evenings and weekends, they are 　　1　　 and enjoy themselves．Some watch television or go to the cinema, others 　　2　　 sports．This is decided by their own interests．

　　There are many different ways to spend our free time．Almost everyone has some kind of hobby：it may be something from 　　3　　 stamps to making model planes．Some hobbies are very expensive, but others don't cost anything 　　4　　．Some collections are worth a lot of money, others are valuable(有价值的)only to their owners．

　　That's what a hobby means, I think．It is something we 　　10　　 to do in our free time．The value in dollars is not important, but the pleasure it gives us is．
