Leisure activity isn't just for fun, says Howard E.A. Tinsley, a professor from the
University of Florida who has developed a scale that classifies hobbies based on needs they
satisfy in people. The scale can help people find more personal fulfillment by giving them
insight into what they really like. “The surprising thing is that activities you might think are
very different have similar effects on people. Probably no one would consider acting to have
the same characteristics as roller-skating or playing baseball, but people who act as a hobby
report feeling an intense sense of belonging to a group, much the same way others do in playing sports.”
And activities providing the strongest sense of competition are not sports, but card and
computer game, he found. Participating in soccer satisfies our desire for a sense of 2
“belonging”, and coin collecting fulfills the need for “creativity”. With so many people in
jobs they don't care for, leisure is a prized aspect of people's lives, Tinsley said. “Yet it's not
something psychologists really study. Economists tell us how much money people spend
skiing, but nobody explains why skiing really appeals to people.”
Fishing, generally considered an outdoor recreational activity, for example, is a form of self-
expression like stamp collecting, because it gives people the opportunity to express some
aspect of their personality by doing something different from their daily routine, he said.

A. Both acting and roller-skating give people a feeling of being a part of a team.
B. Collecting things satisfies people's desire for making new things.

A. . a way of showing people's habits

D. an activity to show their unity in a team
3. Taking part in sports gives you .
A. the strongest desire to win
B. a need for creativity
C. the chance to express your feelings
D. a sense of being part of a team
4. The bold word “it” in the last paragraph refers to . A. fishing B. an activity
C. self-expression D. stamp collecting
