Steven Contursi is an American. He has a hobby of collecting coins. He became well known because he owned a very special coin. It is thought as the nation's oldest silver dollar. In 1794, America began producing silver dollars. On the front of the coin was a drawing of Lady Liberty with long, straight hair; on the back was a drawing of the famous American eagle. About 1,750 such silver dollars were produced that year. But now, only about 150 are known to exist in the world. Luckily, Steven collected one. Even 216 years later, it still looks very fine. So many coin collectors have great interest in it.
In May, 2010, Steven sold the coin to an educational organization that collects rare coins and educates the public about them. Can you imagine how much he sold the one dollar coin for $7.85 million! The organization has a plan to put the coin on show. With the help of the little coin, the public will understand more about the early history of America.

The class teacher thought that hobbies were important for children. So she encouraged all her students to have one, and sometimes she arranged hobby shows for their parents to see as a result.
One morning the teacher told the class to have a holiday and get their hobby things to school before 5 p.m. A hobby show would be held the following afternoon.
So in the afternoon, the students with nothing to show did their lessons at school as usual, while the lucky ones had a holiday to go home for their hobby works.
When the afternoon lessons began, the teacher was surprised to see that Tommy was not there. “I don’t believe Tommy has a hobby,” she thought. However, at a quarter to five, Tommy arrived with a beautiful collection of butterflies (蝴蝶) in a glass case. The teacher liked the samples (标本) very much and put them on a desk in the classroom. But, to her surprise, Tommy picked them up again and began to leave.
“What are you doing, Tommy ” She asked. “Those things must stay here until tomorrow afternoon. That’s when the parents are coming to see them.”
“I know that,” answered Tommy, “and I will bring them back tomorrow, but my big brother doesn’t want them to be out of our house at night.”
“But, aren’t the butterflies yours ” asked the teacher.
“No,” answered Tommy. “They are my brother’s.”
“But Tommy, you should show your own hobby here, not somebody else’s!”
“I know that,” answered Tommy. What surprised her most was the answer. “My hobby is watching my brother collecting butterflies.”

Some people collect things because of their value (价值). I worked with a woman two years ago. She collected Barbie dolls. She said some day she would sell her collection and make lots of money.
Collections can help us remember great things and important people in our life. If you’re not a collector, why not be one Collections can make our life meaningful and colourful.

many许多，修饰可数名词复数；much许多，修饰不可数名词；a lot很，非常，修饰动词；less更少，little的比较级，根据前文的“She is a happy girl”可知，应该是有许多朋友，“friends”是可数名词复数，所以空缺处用many，故选A。
2.句意：她也是我最好朋友。
I我，主格；me我，宾格；my我的，形容词性物主代词；mine我的，名词性物主代词，根据空前的“She is also the best friend of...”可知，此处指的是“我的最好的朋友”，应用名词性物主代词，故选D。
3.句意:他们的朋友都对收集东西感兴趣。Interested 对。。。感兴趣。形容人。故答案选C
4.句意: Wendy没有收集任何东西。考查时态。第一段都是叙述现在的一种状况。用一般现在时态。否定形式。是第三人称单数，用doesn’t +V。故答案选D
5.句意:因为在她房间里没空间。Space 空间，空的地方。不可数名词，there is no space。=there isn’t any space。答案选A
6.句意：因为她的房间不够大。
big大的，形容词原级；bigger比较大的，形容词big的比较级；more big错误表达；biggest最大的，形容词big最高级，前面加定冠词the，根据空前的“because her room isn’t”和空后的“enough”可知，应该是房间不够大，用形容词big原级，故选A。
7.句意：Wendy的奶奶微笑着说道。
say说，动词原形；said说，动词过去式；saying说，动名词；says说，动词第三人称单数，根据空前的“Wendy’s grandma smiled and”可知，空缺处应该用动词过去式，故选B。
8.句意：但是我有很多梦想。
so所以；or或者；but但是；and并且，根据空前的句子“I didn’t think I collected anything”和空后的句子“I have many dreams”是转折关系，所以用连词but，故选C。
9. 句意:我是一个梦想收集者。Collect的名词collector 收集者。Collection收集，名词。这里collector符合题意。
10.句意：梦想能让你开心。
make让，动词原形；made动词过去式；making动名词；to make动词不定式，空前的“can”是情态动词，后面接动词原形，故选A。
11.句意：所以你不需要擅长任何事。

The class teacher thought that hobbies were important for children. So she encouraged all her students to have one, and sometimes she arranged hobby shows for their parents to see as a result.
One morning the teacher told the class to have a holiday and get their hobby things to school before 5 p.m. A hobby show would be held the following afternoon.
So in the afternoon, the students with nothing to show did their lessons at school as usual, while the lucky ones had a holiday to go home for their hobby works.
When the afternoon lessons began, the teacher was surprised to see that Tommy was not there. “I don’t believe Tommy has a hobby,” she thought. However, at a quarter to five, Tommy arrived with a beautiful collection of butterflies (蝴蝶) in a glass case. The teacher liked the samples (标本) very much and put them on a desk in the classroom. But, to her surprise, Tommy picked them up again and began to leave.
“What are you doing, Tommy ” She asked. “Those things must stay here until tomorrow afternoon. That’s when the parents are coming to see them.”
“I know that,” answered Tommy, “and I will bring them back tomorrow, but my big brother doesn’t want them to be out of our house at night.”
“But, aren’t the butterflies yours ” asked the teacher.
“No,” answered Tommy. “They are my brother’s.”
“But Tommy, you should show your own hobby here, not somebody else’s!”
“I know that,” answered Tommy. What surprised her most was the answer. “My hobby is watching my brother collecting butterflies.”

People have a natural interest in collecting things. Stamps may be one of the most popular collections as well as coins, books, postcards and so on.
There are many different kinds of collections. Some collections are souvenirs (纪念品) of a certain place. I once visited a couple (夫妻). They collect masks (面具) every time they travel. One wall of their dining room is covered with traditional masks from South Africa and many other places. When they are on a trip they just look for a mask to add to their collection.
Some collections are gifts. I know a man. He gives his mother a plate made in China every Mother’s Day. He visits many stores for weeks to find a plate that he didn’t purchase before. His mother is very happy and she has more than twenty plates in her collection now.
Learning new things can be a main reason behind a collection. Alan is my friend. He is 35 years old. He began collecting things about wars when he was 15 years old. He has maps, books, flags and photos about wars. His collections help him learn a lot about army history.
Some people collect things because of their value (价值). I worked with a woman two years ago. She collected Barbie dolls. She said some day she would sell her collection and make lots of money.
Collections can help us remember great things and important people in our life. If you’re not a collector, why not be one Collections can make our life meaningful and colourful.
