Monty was the son of a horse trainer. When he was in his ninth grade, he was asked to write a 1 about what he wanted to be and do when he grew up.
That night he wrote a seven-page paper saying that someday he'd 2 a horse ranch (牧场). He wrote about his dream and he 3 drew a picture of a 200-acre(英里) ranch with all the buildings.
He put his 4 into the project and the next day he handed it in 5 his teacher. Two days later he received his paper back. On the front page was a large red F with a 6 that read, “See me after class. ”
The boy with the dream went to see the teacher after class and asked, “ 7 did I receive an F? ”
The teacher said, “That is an 8 dream for a young boy like you. You come from a poor family. Owning a horse ranch needs a lot of 9 . You have to buy the land. You have to pay for other things. There is no 10 you could ever do it. ” Then the teacher added, “ 11 you rewrite this paper with a more realistic goal(更现实的目标), I will make your grade better. ”
The boy went home and thought about 12 long and hard. He asked his father what he should do. His father said, “Look, son, you have to make up your own mind on this. However, I think it is a very important 13 for you. ”
Finally, after sitting with it for a week, the boy turned in the 14paper, making no changes at all. He said to the teacher, “You can keep the F and I'll keep my 15 . ”
A hobby can be almost anything that a person likes to do in his free time. Hobbyists raise pets, watch birds, paint pictures, play the piano and grow flowers. They also go to concerts, climb mountains, go fishing, skate and swim. They collect everything from books to butterflies and from boxes to stamps.
People follow hobbies because these activities offer enjoyment, friendship,knowledge and relaxation. Sometimes they even make money by following a hobby. Hobbies help people relax after hard work, and provide a balance between work and play. Hobbies also offer interesting activities for persons who are retired. Anyone, rich or poor, old or young, can follow an interesting hobby.
Hobbies can also help a patient to keep healthy. Doctors have found that hobbies are useful in helping patients (病人) recover from illness. Hobbies give patients who can't move around something to do, and provide interests that keep them from thinking about themselves. Many hospitals treat (治疗) patients by having them take up interesting hobbies. Anyone, old or young, sick or well, rich or poor, can follow a good hobby, in spite of his age, health or money.
In early times, most people were too busy making a living to have many hobbies. But some persons who had spare time did enjoy hobbies. People today have more time than ever before for hobbies. Machines have now reduced much time that people must spend on their jobs. More people retire at an earlier age than before. Those who have developed hobbies never need to worry about what to do with their newly-found free time hours.
Sir William Osler, a famous Canadian doctor expressed the value of hobbies by saying, “No man is really happy or safe without a hobby. ”
