From Monday to Friday most people are busy working or studying, and in the evening and weekends they are free and 1______ themselves. Some watch television or go to the movies, and others 2______ sports. This is decided by their own interests.

Almost everyone has some kind of hobbies. It may be something from collecting stamps to 3______ model planes. Some hobbies are very 4______, but others don’t cost anything at all. Some collections are worth a lot of money. Others are valuable（有价值的） only 5______ their owners.

I know man who has a coin collection worth several 6_______ dollars. A short time ago he bought a rare（罕见的）fifty – cent piece which 7_____ him ＄250！On the other hand, my youngest brother collects match boxes. He has almost 600 of them, but I wonder 8_________ they are worth any money. 9_______, to my brother they are quite valuable. Nothing makes him 10________ than to find a new match box for his collection.

That’s what a hobby means, I think. It is something we like to do in our free time just for the fun of it.
