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.

解析
试题分析：这篇短文主要通过几个事例给我们讲述了个人爱好对于我们生活的意义。
小题1:动词辨析。Decide决定，判决；depend依赖，取决于。句意：这是由他们自己的兴趣决定的。Depend一般不用于被动语态，故选B。
小题2:联系第一段描述，可知此处指的是，有很多方法度过我们的空闲时间，故选B，免费的，空闲的。
小题3:联系下文描述，可知此处指的是，几乎每个人都有一些爱好。故选A，习惯，爱好。
小题4:动词辨析。A. 买；B. 卖，销售；C.制作；D. 收集。联系下文stamps，可知此处指的是收集邮票，故选D。
小题5:联系后半句but others don’t cost anything at all.描述，可知此处指的是有的爱好非常昂贵，故选D，昂贵的。
小题6:短语辨析。 a little一点，修饰不可数名词；a few几个，修饰可数名词复数；a lot许多，可修饰可数名词与不可数名词； a number许多，修饰可数名词复数。结合语境可知此处指的是一些收集值很多钱。英语中money是不可数名词，故选C。
小题7:动词辨析。take 用于 it takes sb ... to do sth句型，仅指花费时间（three hours等），必须用it作形式主语，指代下文不定式内容；spend用于sb spend...on sth或者sb spend...in doing sth（in可以省略），spend的主语必须是人，可以指花费时间、也可以指花费金钱；cost用于 sth costs sb sth，主语必须是物，多指花费金钱，少数情况可指花费时间、气力，有时表示成本的消耗；pay的基本用法是：(1) pay (sb.) money for sth. 付钱（给某人）买……。 (2)pay for sth. 付……的钱。 (3)pay for sb. 替某人付钱。(4)pay sb. 付钱给某人。本句逻辑主语是先行词a fifty-cent piece ，指物，故选B。
小题8:不定代词辨析。something一些东西，一般用于肯定句及表示请求建议等含义的疑问句中；anything也是表示一些东西，任何东西，一般用于否定及疑问句中。Nothing没有东西，用于肯定句表示否定含义；everything每件东西；结合语境可知此处指的是没有什么能比找到一个新的火柴盒能让他更高兴了。故选C。

举一反三
Shopping used to mean actually going to shops, but nowadays, you can shop without even leaving your house. Just sit in front of your computer, click your mouse and your things will be sent to your house in a couple of days.
November 11th is a big day for people who like shopping online. On that day last year, many online stores offered a big discount and free delivery service. The biggest online shopping sites in China,Taobao.com and Tmall.com ，sold things worth 19.1 billion yuan in total.
“Goods online are often much cheaper. It also saves me a lot of time. And we often have more goods on many online stores than in shopping malls,” Wang Xin, an online shopping lover in Beijing, said to China Daily. She stayed up very late for a lot of cheap goods online. She spent several thousand that day.
Another big advantage of online shopping is that it helps people get things from different cities, even different countries, with ease. “I like eating duck neck very much and I often buy it on Taobao from shops in Wuhan. It’s much more delicious than what our local (当地的) stores sell, but cheaper,” said Zang Xin, a girl in Yangzhou.
While enjoying online shopping, many people also have worries, especially for middle school student buyers. Young students are easily attracted by advertisements on the Internet and buy things they don’t need.
“Middle school students should pay more attention to their study. Searching for things wastes their time,” said Jing Chunling, an education expert. “Besides, online shop owners have no idea of the ages of their buyers. Anyone can easily buy things that they want to. Some of goods are even bad for young students such as cigarettes and wine.”

请阅读下面这篇文章，完成下面表格。
I am Jay from Zhuhai Sunshine Middle School. Recently, we carried out a survey on who we prefer to share worries with. We got different answers.
Acording to the chart, those who would like to share their worries with their classmates and friends account for about 71%. It is mainly because they believe that if people are at the same age, they are easy to communicate and understand each other better.
About 22% of the students said they would like to share worries with their teachers and parents. According to them, adults are rich in experience, and that they can handle their problems easily. The rest prefer to keep worries to themselves. As for them, it’s a struggle to get along well with others, some of them said they didn’t want to trust anyone.
As far as I am concerned, I am willing to share worries with my best friends because they’re always kind and understanding. However, if I meet with some serious problems, I’ll be likely to ask my parents and teachers for help, who, I believe, have more experience to give me valuable advice.

World Book Day falls on April 23 every year. It was set up by the UNESCO(联合国教科文组织) in 1995 to encourage people, especially teenagers, to discover the pleasure of reading. It is also the day to honor great writer, for example, William Shakespeare, born or dead on that day.
Many countries celebrate World Book Day. Take UK as an example. On that day, millions of school children can buy books of special price, a much lower price than usual, in any bookstore. It has been done every year since 1998. World Book Day is also celebrated in China. Premier Wen Jiabao does lots of reading every day. Wen has called on people to do more reading. He suggested that young people should spend more time reading. “Book cannot change the world, but people can change the world by changing themselves through reading,” he said.
Why do people like reading? One big advantage is that reading helps us become more knowledgeable and more intelligent. Also, reading helps us to follow the latest developments of science and technology. Besides, reading gives us information about other cultures and places of the world. When we read, we may find many things that are unfamiliar to us. We would have to use our brain to think about them or do more reading to find out the answers. The more we read, the more we know. What’s more, reading is also one of the most important ways to learn a foreign language like English.
“Reading makes a full man”. Books, magazines, newspapers and other kinds of materials can help us to know more about the outside world and perfect us. So it is necessary for us to spend time on reading every day.

I used to live in Kobe in Japan. On my way home on the bus every evening I used to look for an old man who often played his saxophone (萨克斯管) near the river. I couldn’t hear his music because the windows were closed on the bus but I imagined it to be loud and clear. I wanted to be like that man.
One night I went to Himeji, a city not far from Kobe. As I walked with my family along the river I saw a statue. It was a young man who looked just like me. He was wearing a cap and smiling. Around his neck was a leather strap (皮带) and in his hands was a saxophone. He was lifting the saxophone to his lips and he was just about to play. I stayed there for a long time by the statue dreaming of playing a saxophone on TV.
Two weeks later it was my birthday. Imagine my joy when I opened my present from my parents and found that it was a saxophone! I put it to my lips to play, but it wouldn’t make a sound. Then Dad told me to read the instruction book to find out what to do. After about 15 minutes the saxophone was ready to play. I raised it slowly to my lips as my family watched. But still there was no sound. I blew and blew but I couldn’t get the saxophone to play. I was almost crying when suddenly the saxophone made the most beautiful sound—loud and clear like I imagined the music of the man by the river in Kobe. I blew again, I moved my fingers on the saxophone and I made more sounds. I was happy because I was playing very interesting sounds. But I wasn’t playing music yet.
Then came the lessons. Night after night, week after week my teacher made me practice. Slowly I started to improve and at last there came the magic day when I started to play music. Now I’m in the TV studio with my saxophone strapped to my neck and my cap on my head. I’m always thinking of the man by the river in Kobe and the statue smiling at me in Himeiji. I’m a happy man.
