Working on a puzzle with the family. Reading on the couch. These apparently ordinary activities arent just time-killers-they can be life savers. Studies show that hobbies have long-lasting and preventative results. People who play puzzle games and read have less memory loss when they get older. “A really good hobby totally absorbs us，”says Gail Mc Meekin. “It also gives us something to look forward to and focus on.” That break from everyday sadness is perfect for a person who juggles with careers and family life. Having a hobby makes that heavy load a little easier，as it sets aside time for both a mental break and focuses on an activity the person loves，one that is separate from office and parental duties. “Its very sad when I see clients（当事人）who have been laid off show that work was the centre of their lives and they have no hobbies to turn to for support，”Gail says. “Entertainment gives us rest and a fresh perspective，”says Gail，who notes that lots of creative ideas appear when people take a break and listen to their intuition（直觉）. Danielle，blogger，made her blogging hobby a career a few years ago，and in the meantime found a hobby she never expected to get into：clothing design. “Having a hobby，especially a creative one，has positively impacted not only my work life，but my personal life as well，”Danielle says. “The trick，”she says，“is to find out where you are spending time doing things that arent fulfilling to you and taking that time to do something you love instead.” “Learn to be an expert public speaker so you can give better presentations at work；start a scrapbooking（剪贴本）with your kids so you can spend time with them and be creative”Danielle offers. Gail also suggests developing a hobby that promotes socialization with friends. This is an opportunity to become part of a powerful support system，which is important for emotional health. At the very least，its a good way to chat with a golf friend while walking the course and forgetting a long day at work.59. What do the underlined words in Paragraph 2 mean？ A. Quit ones career to pursue ones hobby. B. Attach more importance to work than family. C. Prevent us from taking up our hobby. D. Struggle to a balance between work and family.60. What do we know about Danielle？ A. Designing clothes is her career.B. She makes a living by writing blogs. C. She supports her family by being a public speaker. D. She spends time doing what she has no interest in.61. What does the last paragraph imply？ A. We benefit from a hobby of talking with others. B. Developing a hobby is very important. C. Our feelings are determined by our hobbies. D. Its our responsibility to socialize with others.62. According to the passage， the benefit a hobby brings is that . A. we can concentrate more on our jobs B. we can enjoy ourselves in the wild C. we can think in a more creative way D. we can avoid being laid offDFRANCOIS Germain, a company executive, was one of the first passengers to put Air Frances pilot program allowing cell phone calls in flight to the test. The results last week were not quite as he had hoped.From Seat 14C, Mr. Germain dialed his assistant in Paris and waited a few moments for the signal to reach a receiver on the ground 39,000 feet below. “Im not hearing you very well,” the assistant shouted when he got through. “It sounds like Im talking to a small robot.”While the use of cell phones is banned in midair on most airlines, some European and Middle Eastern carriers (运输公司) are preparing to offer the service as early as this summer.Air France wants to be among the first, beginning an experiment to determine whether European travelers will appreciate the convenience. Emirates, the largest carrier in the Middle East, has already equipped an Airbus A340 flight from Dubai to Casablanca with mobile technology. It plans to extend the service to its entire fleet over the next several months.At present, the use of cell phones is banned in midair because it might interfere （干扰）with both onboard communications and cell
