Mum said, “You mustn‟t say that, Benny!”

“What do you know about electricity, Benny?” Dad asked.

“Electricity gives us power. It flows through wires. It‟s like water, in a way,” said Benny.

Unit 8 My lifetime hobby—studying stars

By Patrick Moore

When I was eight, I got a book about stars. That was the beginning of lifetime hobby.

I used to go outside with my mum on clear nights and look velvet with a million diamonds on it. In different seasons, we saw different groups of stars. Sometimes we saw stars shooting brightly across the sky. How beautiful they were!

Studying the stars was great fun for me. Once I learnt a little about them, I soon wanted to find out more and more. Now it is my career. I host a TV programme called The Sky at Night. I use my knowledge to tell people about the stars in a lively way. I am proud of my TV programme---it has lasted for more than 50 years!

Actually, you can turn your hobby into your career too. Anybody can achieve their dreams. You just have to enjoy what you do!

我一生的爱好—研究星星

-----帕特克.摩尔

当我8岁的时候，我得到一本关于星星的书，那是我一生爱好的开始。

我曾经在晴朗的夜晚和妈妈外出，看上面有着一百 万颗钻石的天鹅绒。在不同的季节，我们看了不同组别的星星，有时我们看见星星明亮地射过天空，他们是多漂亮呀！

研究星星对我来说太好玩了。曾经我学会了关于它们的一点，我不就想要找到越来越多的。现在它是我的职业。我主持了一个叫‘夜晚星空’的电视节目，我使用我的知识用一种活泼的方法去告诉人们关于星星。我以我的电视节目自豪—它已经持续50多年了。

事实上，你也可以把你的爱好转化成你的事业。任何人都可以实现他们的梦想，但你必须喜欢你所做的事！
