“_______” she turned to me. “Would you like to try, Bonny?”
“I can’t.”
“It’s no different from riding bikes!” said Lizzie. “Just sit there while I sculpt (雕刻) you.”
I got on the horse and Lizzie started. A few days latcr, Lizzie finished the work and asked, “What do you think, Bonny?”
“Wonderful!” I could hardly (几乎不) take my eyes off the horse and rider. “I wish I could make a sculpture too!”
“Of course you can. Just look around, draw and sculpt whatever you like.”
So I began my work. I drew every day, boats, gulls and fishermen, etc. and then made sculptures with wet sand. The more I did, the more I loved this new world. When an elephant finally came to life, I cried, “Wow! It’s magic!”
Months later, a cardboard arrived to me in a post. It was of me sitting on the horse. So here I am, twenty years on, working as a sculptor. As I look around my sculpture studio (工作室), I see Lizzie’s Horse and Rider and all around my sculptures are collected.
Magic life, I think.

Maybe you already have something you love doing and just need more time for it. Or maybe you haven’t found a hobby you really enjoy yet, and you’d like to try something new. A hobby is something fun you do in your free time, but not all hobbies are good for your health and happiness.
When choosing how to spend your time, think about how you feel afterward. Some people say looking at social media or watching shows is their hobby, but often they feel tired or empty after that. These activities may seem fun at first, but they can make you feel worse later. Dr. Hafeez calls this “popcorn brain”— jumping from app to app, always looking for something new. This habit can be bad for your brain (大脑) in the long run and make it hard to stop.
Dr. Kaiser says another problem with screen- based hobbies is that they usually keep you sitting for a long time, which can cause health problems over time.
So how do you pick a better hobby? Dr. Vuu suggests thinking about seven parts of a healthy life: sleep, food, movement, feelings, thoughts, relationships, and purpose (目的). A good hobby can help with some of these. For example, doing group activities like yoga or running can help you move more, feel happy and make new friends. Helping others, like teaching or gardening, can make you feel useful and improve your mood.
There’s no right number of hobbies to have. Some people focus (聚焦) on one, others enjoy many. The key is to try new things from time to time. New experiences are good for your brain—and they help you connect with others too.
1.What does “popcorn brain” in the second paragraph most likely mean?
A.A brain that forgets everything easily.
B.A brain that keeps moving between apps.
C.A brain that likes to eat popcorn while using apps.
D.A brain that works very slowly and can’t think clearly.
2.Why does the writer suggest trying new things sometimes?
A.To keep up with fashion. B.To learn to use more apps.
C.To grow your brain and meet people. D.To become famous and make more money.
3.Which can be the best title for the passage?
A.Why everyone should watch less TV B.How to make new friends through apps
C.Looking into the history of popular hobbies D.Choosing the right hobby for a healthier life
【答案】1.B 2.C 3.D
【导语】本文是一片说明文。主要讲述了有益的爱好对健康生活的积极影响。
1.词意猜测题。根据“this“popcorn brain”— jumping from app to app, always looking for something new. This habit can be bad for your brain (大脑) in the long run and make it hard to stop.”可知,“popcorn brain”是指大脑在不同的应用软件来回跳跃,长时间的运转无法停止,对大脑有伤害。选项B“大脑在不同的应用软件切换”符合语境。故选B。

重难语篇拔高练
I had always wanted to be a bicyclist before I met Lizzie at twelve. One afternoon, I saw her looking up at a life—sized sculpture (雕塑) horse.
“_______” she turned to me. “Would you like to try, Bonny?”
“I can’t.”
“It’s no different from riding bikes!” said Lizzie. “Just sit there while I sculpt (雕刻) you.”
I got on the horse and Lizzie started. A few days latcr, Lizzie finished the work and asked, “What do you think, Bonny?”
“Wonderful!” I could hardly (几乎不) take my eyes off the horse and rider. “I wish I could make a sculpture too!”
“Of course you can. Just look around, draw and sculpt whatever you like.”
So I began my work. I drew every day, boats, gulls and fishermen, etc. and then made sculptures with wet sand. The more I did, the more I loved this new world. When an elephant finally came to life, I cried, “Wow! It’s magic!”
Months later, a cardboard arrived to me in a post. It was of me sitting on the horse. So here I am, twenty years on, working as a sculptor. As I look around my sculpture studio (工作室), I see Lizzie’s Horse and Rider and all around my sculptures are collected.
Magic life, I think.

Maybe you already have something you love doing and just need more time for it. Or maybe you haven’t found a hobby you really enjoy yet, and you’d like to try something new. A hobby is something fun you do in your free time, but not all hobbies are good for your health and happiness.
When choosing how to spend your time, think about how you feel afterward. Some people say looking at social media or watching shows is their hobby, but often they feel tired or empty after that. These activities may seem fun at first, but they can make you feel worse later. Dr. Hafeez calls this “popcorn brain”— jumping from app to app, always looking for something new. This habit can be bad for your brain (大脑) in the long run and make it hard to stop.
Dr. Kaiser says another problem with screen- based hobbies is that they usually keep you sitting for a long time, which can cause health problems over time.
So how do you pick a better hobby? Dr. Vuu suggests thinking about seven parts of a healthy life: sleep, food, movement, feelings, thoughts, relationships, and purpose (目的). A good hobby can help with some of these. For example, doing group activities like yoga or running can help you move more, feel happy and make new friends. Helping others, like teaching or gardening, can make you feel useful and improve your mood.
There’s no right number of hobbies to have. Some people focus (聚焦) on one, others enjoy many. The key is to try new things from time to time. New experiences are good for your brain—and they help you connect with others too.
1.What does “popcorn brain” in the second paragraph most likely mean?
A.A brain that forgets everything easily.
B.A brain that keeps moving between apps.
C.A brain that likes to eat popcorn while using apps.
D.A brain that works very slowly and can’t think clearly.
2.Why does the writer suggest trying new things sometimes?
A.To keep up with fashion. B.To learn to use more apps.
C.To grow your brain and meet people. D.To become famous and make more money.
3.Which can be the best title for the passage?
A.Why everyone should watch less TV B.How to make new friends through apps
C.Looking into the history of popular hobbies D.Choosing the right hobby for a healthier life
