A
The Worst Part
Mom is usually home on Sunday but this week she was going to a big golf game and I was all alone in the house．I was mad at Mom for divorcing Dad．
I kept looking at the telephone until I couldn’t stand it any longer．I picked up the receiver and dialed Dad’s number over in Bakersfield．I even remembered to dial 1 first because it was long distance．“You promised to phone me this week but you didn’t,” I said, feeling I had to talk to him．
“Take it easy, kid,” he said．“I just didn’t get around to it．I was going to call this evening．The week isn’t over yet．”
I thought about that．
“Something on your mind?” he asked．
“I hoped you would call, so I waited and waited．” Then I was sorry I said it．
“There was heavy snow in the morning,” he said, “I had to chain up on highway 80 and lost time．”
I know putting chains on eight big wheels in the snow is no fun．I felt a little better, as long as we were talking．“How is Bandit?” I asked．
There was a funny silence．For a minute I thought the line was dead．Then I knew something must have happened to my dog．
“Well, kid—”, he began．“My name is Leigh!” I almost yelled．“I’m not just some kid you met on the street!”
“Keep your shirt on, Leigh,” he said．“When I had to stop along with some other truckers to put on chains, I left Bandit out of the cab, I thought he would get back … I have sent out a call to CB radio, but I didn’t get an answer yet．” I was about to say I understood when there came the bad part, the really bad part．I heard a boy’s voice say, “Hey, Bill, Mom wants to know when we’re going out to get the pizza?”

B
Having a hobby helps to make you a more interesting person and gives you something fascinating to talk about with others. It can also help you to avoid feeling bored and often provides the opportunity to meet new people with similar interests. Learning something new is always good for keeping the mind alert and active, as is maintaining a long-term interest in something that attracts you. This will also make your more of an interesting person than a person who is addicted to Facebook, watching TV, or doing other time wasting and unhealthy tasks.
Think of a hobby that might interest you. It might be an interest that you always wished you had time to explore, but never had the time or money required to pursue your interest.
Collect things for a fashion magazine. Look at the walls in your post office, and think about collecting stamps and what you might need to do to start and maintain a stamp collection. Think of other items you might like to collect, for example, coins, dolls or chocolate wrappers.
_______________________. Have you ever gone to a museum, looked at the paintings on the walls, and wondered if you could do the same thing? How about trying painting for yourself — in oils or watercolors? Or maybe try drawing with charcoal or colored pencils.
 Enjoy sport as a hobby. Watch soccer, basketball, golf, athletics or tennis tournaments on television or at your local sports ground. Do you feel that a sport is something that you would love to learn? Think about what it would cost, and the time it would take to learn and play. Do you have the funds available for this type of hobby? Would you have the patience it would take to really learn to play or train for any of these sports? Would you rather play a team sport or an individual sport? Maybe there are friends or family members who already have equipment and uniforms you can have, as well as tips for how to begin your chosen sport. Ask them about their experiences and listen to their suggestions.
55. It is implied in the first paragraph that _______. 
   A. having a hobby will waste a lot of time      
B. a hobby is no more than a time-killing activity
C. having a hobby will do you good a lot  
D. a hobby will mean a lot of unexpected chances
56. Which of the following is most suitable for the blank in paragraph 4?
   A. Discover art for a hobby.              B. Learn art in a museum.
   C. Make art in your own community.                       D. Copy art from other painters. 
57. The questions in the 5th paragraph are used to _______.
A. show the curiosity of the writer about sports B. present some advice for you to consider  
C. express the doubt of the writer about sports  D. provide some choices on sports activity
58. The purpose of writing this passage is to _______.
   A. teach us how to find a hobby         B. explain how a hobby is developed
