　　四、阅读理解。(2014，义乌)

　　①Are you tired of people asking the question，“What's your hobby?”Well，you always hear the same old answers：reading，listening to music，painting and so on.There's nothing wrong with these activities，but maybe it's time for some new ideas.

　　②For example，how about “yarn bombing”?What's that?Maybe you have heard of knitting(编织) to make sweaters，scarves，gloves and other things.With yarn bombing，people knit different kinds of things，like sweaters for trees or hats for stones in the park.It's the latest form of artwork.In some cities，people are even paying knitters to decorate public places with their art.Some call it “Knitting Graffiti(涂鸦)，”but unlike other forms of graffiti，it is easy to take away，and it doesn't destroy anything.

　　③Do you like those TV shows in which the police use science to solve crimes?If you do，you can take up “forensic science” as a hobby.That's the science used to investigate(调查) crimes.You can get a set of at­home fingerprint tools and find out who is taking cookies from the cookie box or perhaps who is reading your secret diary.

　　④Finally，here's a hobby for those who want to have fun and make a little money.It's called “upcycling”.You've heard of recycling—you put things like glass，paper and plastic in special boxes so the materials can be used again.Upcyclers take old things and make them into new things.Sometimes they can even sell the things they make.For example，you can take an old book bag, ________ and decorate it.It will look like a cool new bag.There's even a magazine called Upcycle that is full of ideas.All you need for this is an old thing and a good imagination.

　　⑤So look around for a new and interesting hobby.Then when someone asks you the question“What's your hobby?” you can give them an answer that they've never heard before.
