[2025 扬州市梅岭中学期中]Everyone should have a hobby. But with so many hobbies out there, how can you choose the right one? Here is some advice.
What are your interests? What do you enjoy doing for fun? Think about it. For example, if you enjoy spending time outdoors, you can try something like mountain climbing, birdwatching and fishing. If you have an interest in traditional art, you can go to a Beijing Opera Club or a paper-cutting class.
What can you achieve through your hobby? Are you just looking for something to kill time or would you like to turn it into your job one day? Are you hoping to make your skills better? Or are you trying to make new friends? Think about what you want to get from your hobby.
▲ Hobbies like playing video games and watching TV are not very healthy. You need to sit still for a long time and always look at the screen. That’s bad for your body. Some hobbies, like playing computer games and reading e-books, are bad for your eyes.
Many students have hobbies, such as fixing things, playing the piano and growing vegetables. Some hobbies can take them much time. But if you choose your hobbies correctly, you will certainly learn new skills, develop your interests and grow as a better person.

4.（创新考法·篇章结构）What’s the structure of the passage?

2. B 词义猜测题。根据“Think about what you want to get from your hobby.”可知,achieve 与 get 意思相近,意为“获得,得到”。
3. A 信息回填题。根据“Hobbies like playing video games and watching TV are not very healthy.”可知,该段主要讨论了一些不健康的爱好。
4. B 篇章结构题。文章第一段提出主题,即如何选择合适的爱好;第二、三、四段分别从兴趣、期望从爱好中获得什么以及爱好的健康性三个方面给出建议;第五段总结全文,强调正确选择爱好的重要性。

【分析】本题为英语阅读理解题，包含细节理解、词义猜测、信息回填、篇章结构四种题型。解题思路：先通读全文把握“如何选择爱好”的主旨，再针对各小题定位原文对应内容：第1题根据题干“传统艺术爱好者”定位第二段找对应俱乐部；第2题结合划线词所在句的上下文提示猜测词义；第3题根据第四段核心内容（讲不健康爱好）选择段首句；第4题梳理各段落功能分析文章结构。
