A young man went to visit a wise man who lived deep in the mountain. He wanted to ask for wisdom (智慧) of life. "Excuse me!Could you tell me what is the most important day in our lives? Is it the day we were born or the day we die? Is it the day we fall in love or the day we are successful?" the young man asked. "None. The most important day in our lives is today," the wise man replied calmly. "Why?" the young man was very surprised. "Is it because there is some unusual event taking place today?" " No. Nothing has happened today. "" So is it because of my visit?”"Even if nobody visited me today,today is still very important,because today is the only wealth we have. No matter how important yesterday is,it has gone by; 3.no matter how wonderful tomorrow may be,it hasn't come;no matter how ordinary and boring today is,it is in our hands.”

The young man still wanted to ask something,but the wise man stopped htm and said, "When we are talking about the importance of today,we have wasted a lot of it. That is to say,part of ' today' has passed.”

Having understood this,the young man nodded and then went down the mountain. 4. Actually today is the only wealth and chance we have. Therefore, what we should do now is to forget yesterday and tomorrow and catch hold of today！

5.

From Monday to Friday,most people are busy working or studying. But in the evenings and at 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 kinds of hobbies;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.

I know a man who has a 5       collection worth several thousand dollars. A short time ago he bought an unusual fifty-cent piece which 6       him $ 250. He was very happy about it and thought the price was all right. On the other hand,my youngest brother collects 7       . He has almost 600 of them,but I wonder if they are worth any money. 8       ， to my brother,they are quite valuable. 9       makes him happier than to find a new match box for his collection.

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.
