Dear Amy,
My special hobby is picking up rubbish. Yes, that's right. AndI especially enjoy collecting waste wood. These pieces of wood may not be wanted( 被 需 要 ) by others, but my grandfather and Ican give them a new life. We love turning them into flower shelves, sunshades and even swings. We place them in our garden and they make us very happy. They also give our garden a sense of design.
I also like picking up bottles. These are usually empty bottles. We can repurpose(略微改动) them by making holes at the top and use them to water flowers. Of course there can be many other uses for these bottles.
I find picking up these waste things very enjoyable. Some people think it's difficult to discover the hidden treasures of waste things, but it is a piece of cake for me. I'm really good at turning these seemingly useless objects into useful resources. They can help us do many things and create a much cleaner environment.
We are always encouraged to reduce, reuse and recycle waste. By doing these, we can not only create cool new things but also play our part in protecting the environment.
My special hobby of recycling rubbish really brings me a lot of fun and a sense of accomplishment(成就感). Would you join me? Let's do our part to help make the world a cleaner and better place!
Yours,
Yang Jing

He builds model ships inside old bottles.
Gordon has always loved ships, especially sailing ships from the old days. His interest in this hobby began many years ago when he visited a museum in Ottawa. There was a show of model ships in bottles. Gordon thought the show was wonderful. But he wondered how the craftsman got the ship through the thin neck of the bottle. Gordon decided to find it out.
He found a craftsman who was willing to teach him the skills. First, Gordon takes an old bottle. Then he puts in a layer of putty(一层油灰), carefully shaped and painted, to make it look like the sea. Next, he builds the ship. To get the ship through the neck of the bottle, Gordon holds down the masts( 桅杆). Once the ship is inside the bottle, he takes a long, thin tool to raise the masts.
Gordon has completed well over one hundred models. His wish is to build bigger model ships, such as aircraft carriers. This will be more challenging, as he will have to build the ship actually inside the bottle. His hobby certainly needs time, patience and a steady hand.
(1)、What do people think of Gordon' s hobby when people first meet it?A、Traditional. B、Useful. C、Unusual. D、Interesting.(2)、The underlined word"it" in the second paragraph refers to"____".A、the museum B、the show C、how the craftsman got the ship through the thin neck of the bottle D、the ship(3)、Which of the following pictures shows the last step of Gordon's work?A、
