短文聽讀 Text

　　My friends all have completely different hobbies and interests. One loves rock climbing, while another is scared of heights. One likes to play soccer, but another will only watch it on TV. One goes drinking every weekend, but another is teetotal. And one loves to go running, but another has to be forced just to walk anywhere! This makes planning activities very difficult!

　　我所有的朋友都有完全不一樣的嗜好與興趣。一個是熱愛攀岩，而另一個是有懼高症。一個喜歡踢足球，但另一個只喜歡看電視的足球比賽。一個是每個週末都會去喝上一杯，另外一個卻滴酒不沾。一個是超愛跑步，另一個則必須得逼他動才會上路！這麼一來要計劃活動就會變得很困難！
