COMPREHENSION PASSAGES

1. All of us do some kind of work to ward of starvation or to gain sufficient material wealth with a view of maintaining that standard of living which our physical and intellectual powers have helped us to reach. But there is another kind of work which is completely divorced from the burdensome process of our livelihood and which is undertaken for the sake of amusement and interest or the direction of our surplus stores in some new or useful channels of refined tastes. This delightful work of combining work with pleasure or hobby, as it is properly termed, calls for the application of our highest faculties to perform their natural functions and to display their instinctive greatness. We devote our leisure to the pursuit of this pleasant task and derive advantages that compare favourably with those we obtain from the bread earning routine of the daily life. Hobbies widen the sphere of our cultural activities, give refinement to our tastes and show us the path that leads to our systematic and moral development. Our tendencies and inclinations also find in them the outlet for a healthy and progressive expression.

2. “A hobby is a favourite subject or occupation that is not one’s main business”. In this age of machinery which has taken upon itself most of the laborious duties of physical exertion formally performed by man, then creating for him pleasant intervals of rest and leisure, it shouldn’t be difficult for him to devote some time to the pursuit of a new interest that can add some charm, colour or zest to life. The spare time must not be frittered away in idleness or spent on works as overtakes his mind and body after they have performed the normal functions for the day. The new interest will be worthwhile if it provides relaxation and change from ordinary occupation, banishes the drabness of routine work and produces a feeling that life is both charming and meaningful.

3. The choice of hobbies, like the choice of books, purposes of reading, is not an easy task. Some hobbies demand a little guidance `from experienced persons. Our sudden attachment without the backing of this preliminary knowledge may result in wasting of our resources of time and money, and in the end compel us to abandon them. Some hobbies are rather expensive, and therefore beyond means of ordinary people who can ill afford to spend large sums of money on them. Not a few are incompatible with our temperament and taste. We must not, therefore, allow the glamour of certain hobbies to bind us to their reality, howsoever tempting they may appear to us, nor should we begin to cherish thoughtlessly because we find other people so devotedly attached to them.

In the first flash of enthusiasm many have e rushed into unsuitable hobbies only to find they turning away from them in a state of great disillusionment. In a few rare and exceptional cases a sudden and instinctive choice of some hobby sometimes proves to be the right one. We must not, however, forget that tinkering with a hobby is a joyless and wasteful process, unattended by any appreciable gains. Scattered interest in half a dozen or more odd hobbies is not a desirable end

(a) What is a hobby?

(b) What are the advantages of hobbies?

(c) Why does one have to be very careful in selecting a hobby?

(d) Under what circumstances do we have to discard a hobby?

(e) In what way does a hobby refine our taste?
