Dear Amy,
My special hobby is picking up rubbish. Yes, that's right. And I especially enjoy collecting waste wood. These pieces of wood may not be wanted by others, but my grandfather and I can give them a new life. We love turning them into flower shelves, sunshades, and even swings. We place them in our garden and they make us very happy. They also give our garden a sense of design.
I also like picking up bottles. These are usually empty bottles. We can repurpose them by making holes at the top and use them to water flowers. Of course there can be many other uses for these bottles.
I find picking up these waste things very enjoyable. Some people think it's difficult to discover the hidden treasures of waste things, but it is a piece of cake for me. I'm really good at turning these seemingly useless objects into useful resources. They can help us do many things and create a much cleaner environment.
We are always encouraged to reduce, reuse and recycle waste. By doing these, we can not only create new things but also play our part in protecting the environment.
My special hobby of recycling rubbish really brings me a lot of fun and a sense of achievement. Would you join me? Let's do our part to help make the world a cleaner and better place!
Yours,
Yang Jing

【分析】
本题为英语阅读理解题，包含细节理解、词义猜测、推理判断、主旨大意四类题型，解题思路如下：
1. 第1题（细节理解）：定位题干关键词“like to pick up”，在原文中查找作者收集的物品，匹配对应选项；
2. 第2题（词义猜测）：结合划线短语所在句的转折逻辑（前半句提及他人觉得难，后半句转折），推断短语含义；
3. 第3题（推理判断）：根据杨静信件的核心内容（介绍自身特殊爱好），反推Amy的提问方向；
4. 第4题（细节理解）：定位题干关键词“hobby”的相关描述，找到原文对应信息匹配选项；
5. 第5题（主旨大意）：梳理全文核心话题，提炼最贴合的标题。
【解析】
1. 第1题：细节理解题。根据原文第一段“And I especially enjoy collecting waste wood.”和第二段“I also like picking up bottles.”可知，作者喜欢捡废木头和瓶子，对应选项B，故选B。
2. 第2题：词义猜测题。划线短语所在句前半句“Some people think it's difficult to discover the hidden treasures of waste things”表示他人觉得发现废品的隐藏价值很难，由转折连词“but”可知，后半句表示对作者来说很容易，“a piece of cake”意为“小菜一碟，很容易的事”，对应选项C，故选C。
3. 第3题：推理判断题。杨静的信件核心是介绍自己的特殊爱好（回收废品并变废为宝），因此Amy最可能问的是“你的特殊爱好是什么？”，对应选项A，故选A。
4. 第4题：细节理解题。根据原文最后一段“My special hobby of recycling rubbish really brings me a lot of fun and a sense of achievement.”可知，杨静的爱好给她带来快乐和成就感，对应选项C，故选C。
5. 第5题：主旨大意题。全文围绕杨静的特殊爱好——将废品转化为有用之物展开，因此最佳标题为“A Special Hobby: Turning Waste into Useful Things”，对应选项B，故选B。
