When you’re lying on the white sands of the Mexican Rivera, the stresses (压力) of the world seem a million miles away. Hey, stop! This is no vacation—you have to finish something.

Here lies the problem for travel writer and food critic (评论家) Edie Jarolim. “I always loved traveling and always liked to eat, but it never occurred to me that I could make money doing both of those things,” Jarolim said. Now you can read her travel advice everywhere--- in Arts and Antiques, in Brides, or in one of her three books, The Complete Idiot Travel Guide to Mexican Beach Resorts.

Her job in travel writing began some eight years ago. After getting a PhD in English in Canada, she took a test for Frommer’s travel guides, passed it, and got the job. After working at Frommer’s, Jarolim worked for a while at Rough Guides in London, then Fodor’s where she fell so in love with a description of the Southwest of the U.S. that she moved there.

Now as a travel writer, she spends one-third of her year on the road. The rest of the time is spent completing her tasks and writing reviews of restaurants at home in Tucson, Arizona.

As adventurous as the job sounds, the hard part is fact-checking all the information. Sure, it’s great to write about a tourist attraction, but you’d better get the local museum hours correct or you could really ruin someone’s vacation.

小题1:What is most difficult for Jarolim?

A.Working in different places to collect information.

B.Checking all the facts to be written in the guides.

请认真阅读下列短文,并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词。
     We should not hesitate too much during the first half of our lives, while we should not regret at what
we've done during the other half. We should seize every opportunity (机会) to find a way out in our lives,
for it goes off quickly. We should say something urgent (紧迫的) slowly, something serious clearly,
something small humorously and something unsure carefully. We should never say something that did not
happen, something that we cannot do, something that does harm to others. Do not easily say something
about others. We should follow our own heart and interest, and fulfill what we should do.
     Everyone is longing for a happy life, but owning wealth does not necessarily mean owning happiness.
To truly reach happiness, we need to know how to get on with others. So we need to understand the
core (核心) of happiness and achieve what we desire.
     We need to know and understand happiness before we finally get it. A smart man must know to do
something good even though it may be small, and not to do something evil even though it may be tiny in
everyday life. As long as we keep a kind heart and do everything legally, we can live a peaceful life. But
if we keep an evil heart and do whatever we want, we are indeed digging a tomb for ourselves. A smart
man knows to learn a lesson from his falls for he knows that every fall is a valuable experience leading to
happiness in the future. He will not waste his time in criticizing (批评)others. Instead, he tends to spend
more time seeking his own happiness. He knows to keep a heart of conscience (道德) and not to spread
others' mistakes. He also knows to think before he leaps so that he will not feel regretful afterwards.
Moreover, he knows to tolerate others, so he can naturally lead a happy life.
     Without happiness, one will feel terribly sorry, for he always insists that he has done the right thing all
the time and that others often do wrong to him. He attributes (把……归于) every mistake to others or
the environment instead of reflecting on himself, which keeps him farther and farther away from happiness.
     A well-known person once said, "Nobody intends to make mistakes. One makes mistakes because
of his ignorance (无知)." Therefore, if someone makes mistake, we need to care about him, forgive him
and enlighten (启发) him by setting a good example to him instead of losing temper (怒气) to him.
Otherwise, we are also ignorant like him, for we also make a stupid mistake that leads us farther from
happiness.
     In order to lead a happy life, we need to know more about others, about the society, about our culture
and history. We should love our country, keep the law and realize our own responsibility (责任), and then
we are sure to have a happy life.
