Question

I love collecting old paving bricks (铺路砖 ). It is my favourite hobby. I started it last year when I needed to help our teacher to hold a fair display (展览 ) for our school. A few years earlier, I read an article about paving bricks in a fashion magazine. I found it was very interesting, so I decided to do the display on the bricks. But we didn’t have so many bricks for a good display. Then I decided to go out and look for them.

【解析】

试题解析:本文大意：我的爱好是收集旧的铺路砖。去年我帮老师为学校举行博览会时开始的。几年前，我在一本时尚杂志上读到了一篇关于铺路砖的文章，我发现它非常有趣，所以决定展示砖。但是我们没有那么多的砖办一个好的展览，然后我决定出去找砖。现在我已经收集了成百上千块砖，大多数来自于俄亥俄州，实际上，在俄亥俄州有一千多种不同的砖，有时，我在网上一些旧而特殊的砖，价钱是5-10美元一块。有时，人们不理解为什么我买砖。我必须说那是我的爱好。
