From Monday to Friday most people are busy working or studying,but in the evenings and on weekends they are free and enjoy themselves. Some watch television or go to the movies,others take part in sports. This is   1  by their own interests .
There are many different ways to spend our  2  time. Almost everyone has some kind of   3 . It may be something from 4 stamps to making model planes.Some hobbies are very  5 ,but others don’t cost anything at all. Some collections are worth  6 of money, others are valuable only to their owners. I know a man who has a coin collection worth several thousand dollars. A short time ago he bought a fifty-cent piece which   7  him 250 dollars. He was very happy about his collection and thought the price was all right. I know another man who likes collecting match boxes. He has almost 600 of them, but I wonder if they are worth any money. However, to him they are quite valuable.8  makes him happier than finding a new match box for his collection.
That’s  9  a hobby means, I think. It is something we like to do in our free time just for the fun of it. The value in dollars is not important,  10   the pleasure it gives us is.

Sometimes people call ours a “throwaway society”. That means that we’re always throwing away old things and buying new ones. Many times, you no longer need something, but someone else may just need to buy one. For example, if your baby doesn’t like his toy car any longer, why not give it to a nearly family who has a little kid? That’s one less plastic toy car that they need to buy. It’s also one less plastic toy that needs to be produced, packaged and shipped to the toy store.

Here are some other ways to help save resources (资源)for the society:

★Use the other side of the paper.

★Use rechargeable (可再充电的) batteries for your electric toys, MP3 players, cell phones, and cameras.

★ Choose reusable travel cups instead of disposable (一次性的) paper or plastic cups.

★Take your own cloth shopping bags when you go shopping.

★ Drink tap water instead of buying bottled water.

And there are some things you can exchange with your friends, for example, books, toys, even clothes. It's a way for everyone to get something new without spending any money and without throwing many things away.
