U1 Time to Relax--Hobbies That Are Good for You Hobbies That Are Good for You When work or school is over, what do you do to pass the time Do you spend time on hobbies you love Reading or listening to music can help us to calm down after a busy day. Physical hobbies, such as playing tennis or doing yoga, can help us to keep fit. And some hobbies are creative. For example, people sometimes paint pictures to remember a beautiful landscape or object, or reduce stress. Luca Bruno likes to be creative in his free time. But he doesn't make art or write stories. Instead, this Italian teenager finds it fun to make mobile phone apps. He thinks that apps can be a great way to help people. He started programming when he was ten, after he read about famous businessmen who started out as programmers. His latest app allows people around the world to find study partners for learning Italian. They can learn Italian and make friends at the same time! "It gives me such a sense of achievement to see people using the app," says Luca. "I believe I'm helping people around the world to learn Italian!" Some people prefer not to make things. They prefer to collect them! In India, Maya Badal doesn't collect coins or stamps. Instead, this teenage girl collects postcards! "I know some people think postcards are rather old-fashioned, but I think they're a good way to learn about different places," Maya says. "I think it's interesting to see the beautiful buildings and landscapes in foreign countries." Maya's first postcard shows the Mogao Caves in Dunhuang. Her dad sent it to her when she was five, and she liked it so much that she put it up on her bedroom wall! Now there are over one hundred postcards from thirty-two countries on Maya's walls. She dreams of travelling to these places in the future! 译文： 工作或学习结束后，你会做些什么来打发时间呢？你会花时间去做自己喜欢的爱好吗？阅读或听音乐可以帮助我们在忙碌的一天后放松身心。像打网球或做瑜伽这样的体育爱好则有助于我们保持健康。还有一些爱好具有创造性，比如人们有时会画画来纪念美丽的风景或物品，或者借此缓解压力。 卢卡·布鲁诺喜欢在空闲时间发挥创造力。但他并不从事艺术创作或写故事，而是喜欢开发手机应用程序。他认为应用程序是帮助他人的好方法。十岁的时候，他在读到一些著名商人最初都是程序员的经历后，开始学习编程。他最近开发的这款应用能让世界各地的人找到学习意大利语的学习伙伴，他们既能学习意大利语，又能结交新朋友！ “看到人们使用我的应用，我感到非常有成就感，”卢卡说，“我相信我在帮助世界各地的人们学习意大利语。” 有些人则不喜欢动手制作东西，他们更喜欢收集物品！在印度，玛雅·巴达尔不收集硬币或邮票，而是收集明信片！ “我知道有些人认为明信片有点过时了，但我觉得它们是了解不同地方的好方式，”玛雅说，“看到外国美丽的建筑和风景真的很有趣。”玛雅的第一张明信片上拍的是敦煌的莫高窟，是她五岁时父亲寄给她的，她非常喜欢这张明信片，甚至把它贴在了卧室的墙上！现在玛雅的墙上挂满了来自32个国家的100多张明信片。她梦想着有朝一日能去这些地方旅行！ U2 Stay Healthy--A Cooking Accident A Cooking Accident James lived in the city with his friend Allen.
