besides spending time with family, having a glass of wine with friends or reading a book, how about a hobby? personally, im a collector. i like blue and white pieces the best-blue and white anything! plates，jars，vases, cups, bowls-i love them all. collecting items is like something you cant get enough of. you get one, and you want to have more. i find collecting to be a fun and inspirational hobby. in many ways, its like a puzzle im never tired of solving. i look high and low for new pieces to add to my collection. i can often be found visiting marshells, looking over their inexpensive offerings. in fact, i found one of my favorite pieces there. ive mixed inexpensive pieces from marshells with more expensive finds. a lot of times, its the piece im not looking for that falls into my lap; i find a way to make it part of my blue and white family. what i love about my collection is that when i get inspired, i can move them around the house, mix and match and make things look fresh and new.ever since i was a little girl, blue has been my favorite color. i think i got it from my aunt in mexico. some of my earliest memories are visiting her in mexico and sitting on a chair in her kitchen, which had blue and white tiles(瓷砖)from the floor to the ceiling. i would spend countless hours admiring all the beautiful blue and white plates and shiny blue tiles around her kitchen. once i had a home, i began to build my own blue and white collection.52. we can infer that in the writers opinion,_. a. having a hobby can help us relax b. reading a book alone is really boring c. keeping a hobby is not easy for most of people d. having a glass of wine with friends is not a good idea53. what does the underlined sentence in paragraph 2 probably mean?
