（24-25八年级上·吉林长春·期中）16-year-old Pat Tulloch has a different hobby. She makes cheese on the family farm in Australia. She began by making yogurt (酸奶) with her mother when she was little. Then she started watching her father’s workers make cheese. When she was ten, she made some cheese herself for the first time. “It wasn’t great at the beginning,” she says, “but the workers told me what I was doing wrong. I tried hard day and night, and I slowly got better.”
Pat always needs good milk for her cheese, but she doesn’t have to buy it. Her parents keep about 100 cows on their farm. Pat can just ask them when she needs more. Last year, Pat’s neighbour gave her a young cow to keep and look after, but it doesn’t produce (生产) milk to make cheese yet.
Pat helped her family create many kinds of cheese. This year they won a prize for one of them. “Last month we started selling cheese in New Zealand. People there read about our prize in a food magazine. Soon we’ re going to do some advertisements (广告), too.”
Pat’s next idea is to post some recipes (烹饪法) for cooking with cheese on the Internet such as having cheese with eggs for breakfast. She also thinks that people can eat cheese with pasta (意大利面). “I hope a restaurant might buy some one day,” she says.

I feel very thankful to have this chance to learn the beautiful art!
I got a lot from my study in China. It has greatly helped me develop into a better actor. This Chinese art gives me a lot of ways, so I can use them when I perform other shows in Europe. I have set up an art center to teach Beijing Opera. Now there are more fans of Beijing Opera in my country.

During my childhood, I didn’t have much interest in reading. However, when I entered middle school, I began listening to audiobooks and grew to love it. Now, I can finish a couple of audiobooks each month.
While reading a printed book allows more freedom to re-read paragraphs that we didn’t quite catch, go back to look something up from earlier in the book or even write down some notes in the margin (页边空白), audiobooks have their own benefits. They are enjoyable and convenient for both kids and adults. Besides, we can multitask (同时做多件事) while listening and get through books faster.
I often listen to audiobooks before reading paper ones in order to better understand some difficult parts. Listening is necessary for all kinds of learning, including reading. I can now enjoy longer books that I might not have had the patience to read, and my ability to focus on audiobooks carries over to my skill in focusing on a written text.
To me, the coolest thing about audiobooks is the role of the narrator (朗读者). It can be very pleasing when the narrators are skilled. I like the sense of reading with someone who understands and loves the material.
It’s true that sometimes it’s not so convenient because we need to have a technological device (设备) like a cellphone, an iPad or a laptop, where we can store and listen to audiobooks. Besides, we also need to have access to the Internet to download audiobooks or surf audiobooks websites online.
However, audiobooks still have become a big part of my life and have even changed my life. They make reading fun by bringing stories to life through skilled narrators and discussing audiobooks with family and friends adds a joyful richness to my everyday moments.
1．When did the writer begin listening to audiobooks
2．Why does the writer often listen to audiobooks before reading paper ones
3．What kind of narrators does the writer like
4．Would you like to listen to audiobooks Why or why not Please give at least two reasons.Module 6 Hobbies

重难语篇拔高练
（23-24八年级下·北京·期中）阅读短文，根据短文内容回答问题。
During my childhood, I didn’t have much interest in reading. However, when I entered middle school, I began listening to audiobooks and grew to love it. Now, I can finish a couple of audiobooks each month.
While reading a printed book allows more freedom to re-read paragraphs that we didn’t quite catch, go back to look something up from earlier in the book or even write down some notes in the margin (页边空白), audiobooks have their own benefits. They are enjoyable and convenient for both kids and adults. Besides, we can multitask (同时做多件事) while listening and get through books faster.
I often listen to audiobooks before reading paper ones in order to better understand some difficult parts. Listening is necessary for all kinds of learning, including reading. I can now enjoy longer books that I might not have had the patience to read, and my ability to focus on audiobooks carries over to my skill in focusing on a written text.
To me, the coolest thing about audiobooks is the role of the narrator (朗读者). It can be very pleasing when the narrators are skilled. I like the sense of reading with someone who understands and loves the material.
It’s true that sometimes it’s not so convenient because we need to have a technological device (设备) like a cellphone, an iPad or a laptop, where we can store and listen to audiobooks. Besides, we also need to have access to the Internet to download audiobooks or surf audiobooks websites online.
However, audiobooks still have become a big part of my life and have even changed my life. They make reading fun by bringing stories to life through skilled narrators and discussing audiobooks with family and friends adds a joyful richness to my everyday moments.
