解析：本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了什么是爱好。爱好有时是你拥有的某些技能；有些人喜欢参加爱好小组；爱好能给你带来快乐。
【小题1】F考查上下文的语境理解及逻辑关系。根据文章后文的When it es to choosing the hobby, consider the following factors.可知，上文与选择自己的爱好有关。故选F。
【小题2】A考查上下文的语境理解及逻辑关系。根据文章后文的A hobby is fitting because you love it, not because you’re a professional at it.可知，爱好是因为你喜欢，但不是因为你在这方面很专业。这和A选项中的hobbies don’t have to be skill related.相对应。
【小题3】C考查上下文的语境理解及逻辑关系。根据文章前文中的to join a hobby group than to sit alone in your basement可知，是加入爱好小组还是自己在家，你可以查查然后开始。
【小题4】G考查上下文的语境理解及逻辑关系。根据上文的Of course many people have discovered the joy that also es with a hobby that earns you a living.可知，此处的a hobby that earns you a living.和选项中的making money相符。
【小题5】B考查上下文的语境理解及逻辑关系。根据文章后文的But most of the skilled hobbies like art, building or writing have a series of lessons or tutorials that you can take to further your skills.可知，像艺术、建筑、写作等有一系列的课程或辅导，你可以进一步提高你的技能。句中的but表明，这些需要进一步学习，而有一些在自己家里就能做。此处but是解题关键词。
