五 任务型阅读(每小题1分,满分5分)阅读下列短文,回答问题。
Everyone wants to relax after working or studying for a long time. I have many ways of relaxing myself. Let me tell you some of my favourites.
I am a big sports fan, so the usual way I relax is to watch or play many kinds of sports. My favourite is tennis, but I am interested in all kinds of sports. Whether I am playing tennis or watching a game on TV, it is exciting to see team members doing their best. It’s amazing to see players playing very well. It’s true that playing sports is not physically(身体上地)“relaxing”, but I find it really cool, and a good way of “relaxing” my brain after a day’s hard work.
I enjoy listening to music, and I always have some music playing during my free time. I listen to all types, but I enjoy listening to beautiful piano music. Some people can’t study while listening to music, but for me, I believe I can study better by listening to light songs.
Some people choose to relax by travelling. I don’t have a favourite place, but I hear that travelling in Japan is really enjoyable. I like visiting different kinds of places and eating famous snacks there. I also enjoy sightseeing and seeing how the culture and people change from place to place.
