2. Read the passage and answer these questions below. (1point)
After retiring, my uncle – a lover of the sea- took up a strange leisure
activity : he spends most mornings at the beach, looking for things that the sea
sends ashore. He says: It’s a multi-beneficial leisure activity. I can get some
exercise, blending, picking up, and walking. I can breathe the fresh air and enjoy
the vastness and quietness of the sea. Sometimes I watch the children playing
beach games and I feel years younger. At the same time, I can also clean the
beach. It’s volunteer work, isn’t it? Many of the things I pick up from the beach
are still useful to someone. I clean them and sell them at the Sunday flea market in
the town nearby. Do you know of any leisure activity that pays? Mine does!
