spectator interests decorated range satisfied discarded
bored educational collector engaging positive classified
The word hobby is a shortened form of hobbyhorse, which had a (31) decorated wooden framework with an imitation horse’s head attached to it. Hobbies today include a vast (32) range of activities. In this sense, hobbies include games and sports, but they leave out purely (33) spectator activities like watching television. They also exclude schooling and work done to make a living.
Hobbies are important for many reasons, First, a hobby can be (34) educational For example, if the hobby is stamp collecting the (35) collector can learn about the countries of the world and even some of their history. Second, (36) engaging in the hobby can lead to meeting people with the same (37) interests. Third, a person’s free time is being used in (38) positive way. The person has no time to be (39) bored. Finally some hobbies can lead to a future job. A person who enjoys a hobby related job is more (40) satisfied with life.
B. Read the passage carefully, then choose the correct answer.
The hobby of collecting consists of acquiring specific items based on a particular interest of the collector. These collections of things are often highly organized, carefully cataloged, and attractively displayed. Since collecting depends on the interests of the individual collector, it may deal with almost any subject. The depth and breadth of the collection may also vary. Some collectors choose to focus on a specific subtopic within their area of general interest: for example, 19th Century postage stamp, milk bottle labels from Sussex, or Mongolian harnesses and tack. Others prefer to keep a more general collection, accumulating Star Trek merchandise, or stamps from all countries of the world. Some collections are capable of being completed, at least to the extent of owning one sample of each possible item in the collection (e.g. a copy of every book by Agatha Christie). Collectors who specifically try to assemble complete collections in this way are sometimes called ‘completist’. Upon completing a particular collection, they may stop collecting, expand the collection to include related items, or begin an entirely new collection. The most popular fields in collecting have specialized commercial dealers that trade in the items being collected, as well as related accessories. Many of these dealers started as collectors themselves, then turned their hobby into a profession. There are some limitations on collecting, however. Someone who has the financial means to collect stamps might not be able to collect sport cars, for example. .
