One afternoon，I went into an art museum while waiting for my husband．I hoped to enjoy the works of art quietly．

    A young couple walked in front of me and talked {#blank#}1{#/blank#}the paintings between themselves all the time．The lady did almost all the talking，but the man kept listening to her．I thought the man was very patient {#blank#}2{#/blank#}nobody would like to be bothered （打扰） while enjoying the paintings．

    I met them several {#blank#}3{#/blank#}as I moved through the different rooms of the art museum．Each time I heard her talking，I moved {#blank#}4{#/blank#}quickly．

    I was {#blank#}5{#/blank#}for some gifts at the museum shop when the couple walked slowly to the exit （出口）．Before they left，the man {#blank#}6{#/blank#}out a cane （拐杖）．Then he tapped （轻敲） his way to the coatroom to {#blank#}7{#/blank#}the jacket for his wife．

    "He is a brave man，"the worker of the shop said．"He decided not to change his life after his eyes got hurt．Though he is {#blank#}8{#/blank#}now，he never gives up．He and his wife come here whenever there is a new art show．"

    "But what can he get out of the art？He can't see!"I asked．

    "You are wrong．He {#blank#}9{#/blank#}a lot，more than you and I do．"The worker said，"His wife describes {#blank#}10{#/blank#}painting so he can see it in his mind．"

    I fell silent．Then I realized that I learnt something about patience，courage and love that day．

    Many students have hobbies, like reading, painting and looking {#blank#}1{#/blank#} animals. Some hobbies are relaxing and others are creative. Hobbies can make you {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (grow) as a person, develop your interests and help you learn new skills.

    David Smith is a student, and his hobby {#blank#}3{#/blank#}writing. During the summer of 2011, he spent four weeks on a summer camp. As well as the usual activities, such {#blank#}4{#/blank#}sailing, climbing mountains and biking, there was a writing workshop with a professional writer. "She asked us {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (imagine) that we were in a story. Then we wrote about our experiences at the camp."

    In senior high school David {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (write) a book about teenage life. Many teenagers love his book, and as a result, David has become a {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (success) young writer.

    David has been very lucky because his hobby has brought enjoyment and success to {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (he), but he is also interested in many other things. "I like playing volleyball, too," says David. "I spend some of my free time {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (play) volleyball for my school team. Maybe I'll write more books in the future, {#blank#}10{#/blank#} I'm not sure."

    There are many other interesting things to do in life, and we should try to do something new or different.
