试题分析：短文大意：该文讲述的是关于业余爱好。每个人都有自己的爱好，而且人与人之间的爱好可能是不一样的。文章中为我们总结了一些常见的爱好，如收藏类的、艺术类的、运动类的等。

1.这是本篇文章的中心部分，因为下面分别为我们列出了一些爱好的种类。所以填写hobbies 爱好，复数形式。

3.根据文中Some people collect unusual things like old cars, old motorbikes可知一些人喜欢收集一些不寻常的东西，如旧汽车或摩托车等。所以填写unusual不寻常的。

4.有些人在画画写作和诗歌中能找到乐趣。have fun doing sth. 做某事很有趣。所以填写fun。

5.文章中提到了一句There are many clubs—such as singing, dancing,有很多俱乐部，如唱歌，跳舞等可知去俱乐部娱乐也是很有趣的。，所以填写clubs ，俱乐部 。

6.take part in 参加活动；join 加入（俱乐部，组织团体等）。所以填写join。

7.根据文中but it is not so good for your eyes and your mind，可知看电视或录影带，玩电脑游戏都是很有趣的事情，但是不要玩得太多，因为这对我们的眼睛和思想可能是有害的。所以填写not good 即bad，有害的。
