【题目】 Do you have the similar experiences? Your parents often feel stressed and sometimes have difficulty controlling their temper (脾气); you study 7 days a week and find it difficult to make progress no matter how hard you try. Life always seems to be tiring.
Is there any way out of the tiring life? Believe it or not, the solution is you may need time for your hobbies. Research has shown that people who have hobbies are generally healthier, and feel much happier. Having a hobby may be even more important to people who lead very full and busy lives.

【1】细节理解题。通过题干的“the solution to the tiring life is that”可以回原文定位到第二段第二句话“Believe it or not, the solution is you may need time for your hobbies.”，译为“无论相信与否，解决方法是你可能需要给爱好一些时间”。选项A译为“我们需要花时间和朋友一起”；选项B译为“我们应该给爱好一些时间。”；选项C译为“我们应该去新的地方旅行。”；选项D译为“我们需要控制我们的脾气。”故正确答案为选项B。
【2】段落大意题。本题我们需要根据文章第三段的内容总结找答案。选项A译为“我们如何能坚持爱好。”文章的第三段没有提到“如何坚持爱好。”故选项A不正确。选项B译为“爱好带给我们的益处。”文章第三段，首先写运动作为爱好带给人的益处，其次爱好给我们提供机会去社会交际以及社会交际的益处，最后写爱好带来快乐和爱好提高工作表现等，这与选项B相符合；选项C译为“为什么做运动是一个好的爱好。”本选项只表达了第三段的一部分内容；选项D译为“什么时候我们能够发展爱好”，第三段内容没有提及。故正确答案为选项B。
【3】推理判断题。根据题干中“All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.”回原文定位到最后一段第一句话。再根据最后一段第二句话“This may be quite true, so make sure you find time for yourself to relax.”，译为“这可能相当正确，所以确保你找到时间给你自己去放松。”选项A译为“去抱怨繁忙的生活。”；选项B译为“去描述Jack的糟糕的工作。”；选项C译为“去解释如何发展一个爱好。”；选项D译为“鼓励人们找时间去放松。”，故正确答案为选项D。
