沪教版(2024)2024-2025学年七年级上册Unit 8 Collecting as a hobby 提升培优
Many people like collecting things. For some people, they don't throw away the unwanted things because they believe they may be useful one day. For others, especially old people, old things keep memories of the past and old friends. They carry a special meaning. Collecting things can easily become a hobby. When people really put heart into it, the hobby can do them much good.
Collecting makes people happy during their free time. Collectors do not have to go outside for fun. They keep collections at home: stamps, books, pictures, model cars, toy animals, etc. It is always enjoyable to look at the collections.
Collecting keeps people busy, too. When there is a new piece of collection, they need to find the right place for it. Sometimes this new piece pushes them to read. In this way, collectors learn new things from the hobby.
Collecting also gives people a reason to make new friends. Collectors may want to meet other collectors to show new findings, to share stories, and to get advice. So the hobby leads to travel. Collectors take trips to meet new friends. Their group of friends grows. After years of sharing, collectors may become closer friends.

My father is a manager (经理). He is very busy. Every day is his workday. He goes to work at half past eight in the morning and comes home at ten or eleven in the evening. He gets lots of money (钱). But I'm not happy about it. He doesn't have a healthy life. —Clark | |
My mother is a cleaner (清洁工). She gets up at 4:30 and begins (开始) to work at 5:00 in the morning. She finishes working at 7:00 in the morning. She works for four hours in the afternoon and evening. After a day's work, the streets (街道) are clean, but my mum's clothes are not. So she takes a shower first when she comes home. My mother doesn't get much money, but she is great. She makes our city (城市) clean. — Molly |
Basketball, running and swimming are popular events at the Olympics. But there are also some events that are not as popular. Some are even very strange. Let's see if you have any knowledge about the following events.
Tug-of-war This event started in 1900 and left the Olympics in 1920. The team wins if they pull the rope past a certain point first. Interestingly, more than one team from a country can enter in this event. This makes it possible for one country to win several medals. | |
Rope climbing It first appeared as an Olympic sport in 1896. The climber who spends the shortest time reaching the top is the winner. The rope used to be 15 meters long. Years later, it was shortened to 8 meters, for some reason. After 1932, there was no rope climbing at the Olympics. | |
Race walking In race walking, walkers have to win the race by walking. To make sure that they don't run, race walkers must have one foot on the ground at all times. Race walking has been an Olympic sport since 1904. Men enter 20-kilometer and 50-kilometer races; women only race 20 kilometers. |
