因为是多种兴趣呀,有诸如reading books , visiting museums and taking computer lessons

interest
n.
1.兴趣
I find no interest in such things.
我对这些不感兴趣。
"Recently, there has again been great interest in the idea of a Channel Tunnel."
"近来,人们对开凿英吉利海峡隧道的想法又有了很大兴趣。"
2.爱好的事物;嗜好

他一生中的两大爱好是音乐和绘画。
Eating seems to be his only interest in life.
吃似乎是他生活中唯一的爱好。
3.利益
look after one's own interests
顾自己的利益
The interests of the individual must be subordinated to the interests of the collective.
个人利益必须服从集体利益。
4.股份,利息
pay 7% interest on a loan
借款付七分息
He lent me the money at 5% interest.
他以百分之五的利息借给我这笔钱。
5.(pl) 行业,从事同行业的人及机构

这里是第二种用法

当表示不同种类的兴趣时,interest为可数名词,因此用interests。

此处意思为"事项",作名词用!

因为interest后面是举例,有许多种这样的例子,所以用复数。
