【解析】本文是一篇和愛好有關(guān)的文章。談了愛好的各種表現(xiàn)形式。

【1】D.本文第一句的含義為愛好基本上是你在空閑時(shí)間所做的一切事情，如養(yǎng)寵物，畫畫，栽花，彈鋼琴，所以本句的含義為愛好還有去參加音樂會(huì)，爬山，釣魚，滑冰和游泳，故本句空格處選D。

【2】B. 后句的含義為醫(yī)生發(fā)現(xiàn)愛好有助于患疾病的人恢復(fù)健康，所以本句的含義為愛好也能夠幫助別人保持健康，故本句空格處選B。

【3】E. 前句的含義為許多醫(yī)院治療病人是通過去除他們的愛好來進(jìn)行，所以本句的含義為一個(gè)好的愛好不分年齡，健康和是否有錢，故本題空格處選E。

【4】C. 前句的含義為有空閑時(shí)間的一些人享受他們的愛好，如古埃及人用木制的球做游戲，故本句空格處選C。

【5】A. 前句的含義為機(jī)器減少了人們的工作時(shí)間，所以本句的含義為更多的人在更早的年齡退休，故本句空格處選A。
