From Monday to Friday most people are busy working or studying，but in the evenings and on weekends they are free and enjoy themselves. Some watch television or go to the movies，others take part in sports. This is   1  by their own interests .
There are many different ways to spend our  2  time. Almost everyone has some kind of   3 . It may be something from 4 stamps to making model planes.Some hobbies are very  5 ，but others don’t cost anything at all. Some collections are worth  6 of money, others are valuable only to their owners. I know a man who has a coin collection worth several thousand dollars. A short time ago he bought a fifty-cent piece which   7  him 250 dollars. He was very happy about his collection and thought the price was all right. I know another man who likes collecting match boxes. He has almost 600 of them, but I wonder if they are worth any money. However, to him they are quite valuable.8  makes him happier than finding a new match box for his collection.
That’s  9  a hobby means, I think. It is something we like to do in our free time just for the fun of it. The value in dollars is not important,  10   the pleasure it gives us is.

A woman was collecting money for a church charity. The money she collected was going to be given to poor children who had no parents to take care of them. She went from apartment to apartment and from house to house. She knocked on doors and asked for money. She always said the same thing. “Good morning, I’m collecting for a church charity. Please give generously. We need $5,000.” Then she held out a collecting box. Most people put a few coins in the box. An artist lived in one of the apartments. He opened the door. “Good morning.” she said. “I’m collecting for a church charity. Please give generously. We need $5,000.” The artist thought for a moment, then he said, “I’m sorry, but I don’t have any money. However, I’ll give you a painting. It’s worth $ 400.” The woman thanked the artist and took the painting away. A week later she called on him again. “I’m sorry to trouble you again,” she said, “but we still need more money. I need another $ 100. Can you help?” “Of course,” the artist said. “I’ll increase the value of my painting to $ 500.”
