六、阅读短文并回答问题。
My name is Paul. What's my hobby? It's model rockets! I have ten rockets. I built one of them myself. It's made of wood and cardboard(硬纸板). I glued it together, and then I painted it. What do I do with my rockets? I launch(发射) them! I started to launch rockets two years ago.
I join a Rocket Club in my city. It has about forty members. Some of the members are young like me, but most of the members are much older than me. We meet every month. Sometimes, we have competitions(比赛). Everyone launches their rockets. The highest rocket gets a prize(奖品).
I launch most of my rockets seven to ten times. Then I lose or break them. I lost one of the rockets two weeks ago. It went too high: 400 metres. I launched it in a field, but it landed in some trees. My dad and I looked for it for three days. I hate to lose a rocket! I keep my broken rockets. I have a collection of them in my bedroom.
I like my hobby because it's exciting. It is a lot of fun to build and launch rockets.
