Clubs in high school are amazing because they give you opportunities to find your passions (热情), connect with others who have similar interests, and have fun! If your high school doesn't have a club that you're interested in, the best thing to do is start your own. Use your brain and think outside of the box!
Types of high school clubs
High school clubs usually fall into ten main categories (范畴): eight subject area clubs, hobby clubs, and charity clubs.
Subject area clubs are clubs that come from an interest in a subject area taught in school. There are eight subject area club categories: Art, Drama, Film, Science, Math, Literature, History, and Language.
Hobby clubs are clubs that come from an interest in a hobby that most likely wouldn't be taught in high school (such as chess, video games, and animation)．
Charity clubs are clubs that are connected with a specific charity with the goal of raising awareness, working for that charity, or raising money for that charity.
The category a certain club has been placed into is not important. I simply created these categories to organize this list. No one category is better than another. It's best to create a club you're passionate about no matter the category.

My name is Eivind Trodden. I'm 42 years old and on Svalbard in the North Pole. My background was originally software engineering, and years later I decided to go ahead and get my pilot license. This year I wanted to try my hands at technology and got a job at Svatsat, the northernmost Satellite (卫星) Ground Station in the world. Now I work as a pilot and an operations engineer.
Originally, I moved here for the job. This was the first pilot job I got. After a while, I was attracted by the place, and right now the most important thing for me is to live here.
It is wonderful and full of differences. The polar night is balanced with the midnight sun. Here the year is much like a day. The winter is night. In the morning there is ice, snow and then spring. Then there is the endless day of summer, and finally, the town settles in with the sunset of autumn.
The summer is the most difficult. It is harder to create darkness than light. You have to have good blinds on your bedroom windows. A good trick is to create your own evening. I like to close the blinds and sit down in darkness with a good book or a movie before I go to bed.
The dark season is the favourite of many people living here. There are fewer tourists, and people have a chance to get together and be social after the busy summer. You have to be self-controlled though, and not start lighting candles in the middle of the day. Don't underestimate (低估) the cost of living here. You need a large number of tools to experience Svalbard to the fullest.

Ⅱ.阅读七选五
A hobby is a great way to kill your free time. 8 However, many struggle to stick with them. Therefore, think practically when finding a hobby you can keep.
Consider your cost. Before choosing a hobby, think about what you can reasonably afford. 9 For example, for a sport like hockey (曲棍球), you will need protective equipment, a stick, ice skates and so on, which can be expensive. If you're short of money, look for a hobby that doesn't cost you much.
Think about the time. If you're very busy, you may not want a hobby which takes much time. Things like reading, or crossword puzzles can be done in small spare moments. 10 However, if you are rich in time, choose a hobby like gardening. It required to be done for a set number of hours each day.
11 Pick a hobby that makes you feel interested, or you will be likely to lose interest. For example, think about skills you are always eager to have. Have you at times imagined yourself as a talented singer Teaching yourself to sing in your spare time may cheer you up.
Value your existing skills. 12 Choosing something you're not already good at may result in you feeling stressed and giving up. You can think about what skills you already have. For example, maybe you already enjoy cooking though you're not skilled, you could take a cooking class. It'll be easier to get into this new hobby.
A．Many people find hobbies relaxing.
B．Force yourself to stick with that one.
C．Think about what makes you excited.
D．Some hobbies require a lot of equipment.
E．A hobby should be more relaxing than challenging.
F．You might get bored with developing your natural skills.
G．You can do them on your lunch break or after dinner at night.
语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章主要从四个方面介绍了如何找到自己能坚持下来的兴趣。
8．选A 根据上文可知，业余爱好能够消磨空闲时光，所以业余爱好能够让人放松。由此可知，A项“许多人觉得业余爱好很放松”符合语境，能够承接上文，并和下文中的“However”构成转折关系。
9．选D 根据上下文可知，在选择爱好时要考虑成本，因为有些爱好需要购买装备。由此可知，D项“有些爱好需要很多设备”符合语境。D项中的“a lot of equipment”和下文中的“need protective equipment”相呼应。
10．选G 根据小标题“Think about the time.”以及上文“Things like reading, or crossword puzzles can be done in small spare moments.”可知，G项“你可以在午休时间或晚餐后做它们”承接上文，符合语境。G项中的“them”指代前文中的“Things like reading, or crossword puzzles”。
11．选C 根据下文“ Pick a hobby that makes you feel interested, or you will be likely to lose interest.”可知，本段主要建议选择一个让自己感兴趣的业余爱好。由此可知，C项“想想是什么让你兴奋”符合语境。
12．选F 根据小标题“Value your existing skills.”以及下文“Choosing something you're not already good at may result in you feeling stressed and giving up.”可知，本段主要建议重视现有技能。由此可知，F项“你可能对发展你的自然技能感到厌倦”符合语境。F项中的“skills”是原词复现。UNIT 1 课时检测(九) Reading Club (自修课)
