III . Read the passage and choose the correct answer (from A, B, C or D) for each question. (15 points)
 Leisure activity isn’t just for fun, says Howard E.A.Tinsley, a professor from the University of Floria who has developed a scale that classified hobbies based on needs they satisfy in people. The scale can help people find more personal fulfillment by giving them insight into what they really like. “The surprising thing is that activities you might think are very different have similar effects on people. Probably no one would consider acting to have the same characteristics as roller-skating or playing baseball, but people who act as a hobby report feeling an intense sense of belonging to a group, much the same way others do in playing sports.”
 And activities providing the strongest sense of competition are not sports , but card and computer game, he found. Participating in soccer satisfies our desire for a sense of “belonging”, and coin collecting fulfills the need for “creativity “. With so many people in jobs they don’t care for , leisure is a prized aspect of people’s lives, Tinsley said. “Yet it’s not something psychologists really study. Economists tell us how much money people spend skiing , but nobody explains why skiing really appeals people.”
 Fishing, generally considered as an outdoor recreational activity, for example, is a form of self- expression like stamp collecting, because it gives people the opportunity to express some aspects of their personality by doing something different from their daily routine, he said.
1.Taking part in sports gives you---------------
A. a strongest desire to win. 
B. a need for creativity.
C. the chance to express your feelings.
D.a sense of being a part of a team.
2.According to the passage , outdoor recreational activity is considered as------------
A. a way of showing people’s habits .
B. a method of satisfying their expectation.
C. a chance to show their character.
D.an activity to show their unity in a team.
3.What does the bold word “ it ” in the last paragraph mean ?
A. fishing B. an activity C. self-expression D. stamp collecting
4.Which of the following is NOT true ?
A. Both acting and roller-skating give people a feeling of being a part of team. 
B. Collecting things satisfies people’s desire for making new things.
C. Fishing allows you to show the type of person you are.
D. Researchers know for sure why a hobby attracts a person.
5.Which sentence is the best summary for the passage ?
A. Leisure activity and sport are totally different .
B. Leisure activities satisfy people’s particular desires.
C. A person’s personality is expressed via his hobbies.
D. Sports affect a person’s personality.

A.but live where it is warm
B.This is what is meant by a “White Christmas”
C.Hundreds of singers and musicians have recorded it
D.Another tradition is snow
E.Colorful lights shine brightly in windows
F.We wish the happiest holiday
G.Songwriter Irving Berlin was Jewish
 Chistmas is almost here. Holiday music fills the air. (0) E . The stores are crowed with people buying lats- minute gifts. All these are Christmas traditions. (1) Christmas in the northern part of the world comes a few days after the start of winter. So, in many places, a blanket of clean white snow covers the ground on Christmas Day. (2) . Of course, many places do not get snow in December. In fact, they may be very warm at that time of the year. People who like snow- (3) -dream of having a white Christmas. American songwriter Irving Berlin captured these feelings in his song ”White Christmas”. “White Christmas” is one of the most popular songs of all times. (4) .. Perhaps the most famous version was sung by Bing Crosby. (5) He did not celebrate Christmas as a religious holiday. But in his Christmas song, he shares a message of peace and happiness which all people can joy. 
 So from all of us-to all of you-we wish the happiest and most joyful holiday.
