Ⅰ. 阅读理解。
In our busy modern life, it is very important to find time to relax. Different hobbies can bring us different benefits. Scientists say that having a hobby is not only a way to kill time, but also good for our physical and mental health.
First, hobbies can help us reduce stress. When we take part in activities we like, our brain produces certain chemicals that make us feel happy. For example, a study shows that 80% of people who paint or draw once a week worry less about their daily problems. Activities such as yoga and meditation(冥想) are especially helpful in calming our mind.
Second, hobbies help us learn new skills and become more confident. When we begin a new hobby, we may find it hard at first. But if we keep practicing and make it at last, we will feel a strong sense of achievement. This makes us more confident in other parts of our life.
Third, some hobbies are social. Joining a book club or a sports team helps us meet new peo- ple with the same interests. We can talk with them, exchange ideas and make new friends. This makes us feel connected and less lonely.
So how can we pick a suitable hobby? Just think about what you really like. What matters most is to choose something you really enjoy. As the old saying goes, "Choose a job you love, and you will never have to work a day in your life." The same rule works for hobbies. When you enjoy your free-time activities, life will become more colorful and meaningful.
