七、阅读短文，回答问题（10分）
Several years ago, my parents bought some comic books to please my elder brother. He wasn't interested, but I thought they were amazing. There were many wonderful stories with fantastic drawings, and I was totally attracted by the funny and humorous conversations in them. Since then, I've been drawing my own comics. Now I have a blog（博客）where I post my work. I've created many characters and made up interesting situations for them.
Drawing comics takes a lot of time, and I'm still in school. There's a lot of schoolwork. Sometimes I draw during breaks, but I mainly work at home, where I can focus better. Once I finish most of my work, fans sometimes write to me through my blog, and it feels great to reply.
Last year, I went to a national youth comic festival, which was a great chance to learn in detail how other teenagers create their comics. Most of them draw using computers. Although I know how to do that and it can save time, I honestly prefer drawing by hand. That's how I started.
Recently, articles about me have appeared in newspapers and magazines. I'm not used to all the attention—and I probably never will be! However, I do feel proud that my comics mean something to my readers. Last month, I heard from a girl who had been feeling blue for months after failing an exam. Inspired by my brave characters, she became positive and confident again.
The next thing I need to do is to improve my art skills. I'll sign up for an animation（动画）course during the school holidays. I can't imagine my life without comics. They're not only my hobby, but also a way to spread encouragement and joy to others.
1. Why did the writer start drawing his own comics?
2. How do the writer and his fans usually keep in touch?
3. What drawing method does the writer prefer?
4. How does the writer feel when he receives more attention?
5. What is your hobby? What difference has it made to your life?
