Topic Three Daily Routines，Interests and Hobbies
日常活动与兴趣爱好
话说中考
在历年的中考中，阅读理解占分比例很大，而日常活动与兴趣爱好又是阅读理解中的热门话题，这是因为“日常活动”的话题便于学生理解，与学生的生活很接近，使学生觉得很熟悉。主要考查我们在日常生活学习中发生或遇见的一些人或事；兴趣爱好也是我们学生经常谈论的话题，俗话说“兴趣是最好的老师，爱好是兴趣的孪生兄弟”，作为新世纪的中学生，培养良好的兴趣爱好是我们成才的前提，是我们走向成功必不可少的良好习惯。因而，兴趣爱好亦是阅读理解考查的重点。
做题思路：理解文意，把握、梳理信息，解答问题。
