seem a million miles away. Hey, stop! This is no vacation-you have to finish something!
Here lies the problem for the travel writer and 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 there books, The Complete Idiot"s Travel Guide to Mexican Beach Resorts.
……writing began some eight years ago. After getting a PhD in English in Canada, she took a Test
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, Arigona.
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 (当地的) museum hours correct or you could
really ruin someone"s vacation.
B. The U.S.
C. The U.K.
D. Canada
B. Checking all the facts to be written in the guides
C. Finishing her work as soon as possible
D. Passing a test to write travel guides
B. She finds her life full of stresses
C. She spends half of her time traveling
D. She is especially interested in museums
B. Working as a Food Critic
C. Travel Guides on the Market

举一反三
other road users will do and get ready to react to something unexpected. When alcohol is consumed, it enters
your bloodstream and acts as a depressant (抑制药), damaging eyesight, judgment and co-ordination (协调),
slowing down reaction time and greatly increasing the risk of accidents. Even below the drink driving limit,
driving will be affected.
Alcohol may take a few minutes to be absorbed into the bloodstream and start action on the brain.
Absorption rate is increased when drinking on an empty stomach or when consuming drinks mixed with fruit
juice. To get rid of alcohol from the body is a very slow process and it is not possible to speed it up with any
measures like taking a shower or having a cup of tea or coffee.
The present Road Traffic Ordinance states clearly that the limit of alcohol concentration is:
● 50 milligrams of alcohol per 100ml of blood; or
● 22 micrograms of alcohol per 100ml of breath; or
● 67 milligrams of alcohol per 100ml of urine (尿液)
Drivers who cause traffic accidents, or who commit a moving traffic offence or are being suspected of
drink driving will be tested.
Any drive found drinking beyond the limit will be charged. The driver declared guilty may be fined a
maximum of HK $ 25,000 and be sentenced to up to 3 years in prison and punished for 10 driving-offence
points; or temporarily banned from driving.
The same punishment applies to failing to provide specimens (样本) far breath, blood or urine tests without
good excuse.
Drink driving is a criminal offence. Be a responsible driver, think before you drink. For the safety of
yourself and other road users, never drive after consuming alcohol.
B. the damage of drinking to your body
C. the effect of drinking on driving
D. the process of alcohol being absorbed
B. absorption
C. blood
D. process
B. Alcohol is taken in more quickly when drunk with fruit juice.
C. Having a cup of tea helps to get rid of alcohol from the body.
D. 50 milligrams of alcohol per 100ml of breath is below the drink limit
B. will be forbidden to drive for 3 years
C. will be punished for 10 driving-offence points
D. should pay a maximum fine of HK＄25,000
on a farm. In the winter especially, we wear quite out off from the outside world. As soon as I left school, I
packed my bags and moved to the capital. However, I soon discovered that my life has its too.
One big disadvantage is money. It costs so much to go out, not to mention basics like food and housing.
Another disadvantage is pollution. I suffer from asthma (哮喘), and the air is so that I am afraid to go outside.
Then there is the problem of traveling round. Although I have a car, I seldom use it became of the traffic jams.
One choice is to go by bicycle, but that can be quite dangerous.
Of course there are advantages. First, there is so much to do in the city, whatever you tastes in culture or
entertainment (娱乐活动). Besides, there are wonderful jobs and greater chances of moving to a more important
job or position. Finally, if you like shopping, the variety of goods is very surprising-and, what is more, shops
are often only a short walk away.
Is life better then, in the city? Perhaps it is, when you are in your teens (十几岁) or twenties. However, as
you get older, and especially if you have small children, the peace of the countryside may seem preferable. I
certainly hope to move back there soon.
B. Moving to the countryside.
C. Leaving home for the city.
D. Running away from the school.
B. He is in good health.
C. He prefers driving a car.
D. He lives in the city now.
B. describe his life in the countryside
C. an interest in the outside world
D. persuade the reader to live in the city
B. By comparing.
C. By listing examples.
D. By giving explanations.
horses weren"t tame (驯服的) enough to perform these kinds of tasks. Scientists think the first interactions
humans had with horses were far different from those today.
Thousands of years ago, people killed the wild horses that lived around them for food. Over time, people
began to catch the animals and raise them. This was the first step in domestication.
As people began to tame and ride horses, they chose to keep those animals that had more desirable
characteristics. For example, people may have chosen to keep horses that had a gentle personality so they
could be ridden more easily. People who used horses to pull heavy loads would have chosen to keep stronger
animals. Characteristics like strength are partly controlled by the animals" genes. So as the domesticated horses
reproduced, they passed the characteristics on to their young. Each new generation of houses would show
more of these chosen characteristics.
Modern day horse breeds come in a wide variety of shapes and sizes. This variety didn"t exist in the horse
population before domestication. The Shetland horse is one of the smallest breeds-typically reaching only one
meter tall. With short, strong legs, the animals were bred to pull coal out of mine shafts (矿井) with low
ceilings. Huge horses like the Clydesdale came on the scene around 1700. People bred these heavy, tall horses
to pull large vehicles used for carrying heavy loads.
The domestication of horses has had great effects on societies. For example, horse were important tools
in the advancement of modern agriculture. Using them to pull ploughs and carry heavy loads allowed people
to farm more efficiently. Before they were able to ride horses, humans had to cross land on foot. Riding horses
allowed people to travel far greater distance in much less time. That encouraged populations living in different
areas to interact with one another. The new form of rapid transportation helped cultures spread around the
world.
B. hunted for food
C. made to pull ploughs
D. used to carry people
B. horse used to have gentle personalities
C. some horses have better shaped than others
D. horses were of less variety before domestication
B. changing farming methods
C. serving as a means of transport
D. advancing agriculture in different areas
B. how humans and horses needed each other
C. why horses came in different shapes and sizes
D. how human societies and horses influenced each other
We are fortunate that in such a large, high-pressure office we all get along so well. You are one of the
people who keep the social temperature at such a comfortable setting. I don"t know anyone in the office
who is better liked than you.
You can perhaps help with this. The collection of contributions towards gifts for employees" personal-life
events is becoming a little troubling. Certainly, the group sending of a gift is reasonable now and then. In the
past month, however, there have been collections for two baby shower gifts, one wedding shower gift, two
wedding gifts, one funeral (葬礼) remembrance, four birthday gifts, and three graduation gifts.
It"s not only the collected-from who are growing uncomfortable (and poor), but the collected-for feel
uneasy receiving gifts from people who don"t know them outside the office, who wouldn"t even recognize
their graduating children, their marrying daughters and sons, or their dead relatives.
This is basically a kind gesture (and one that people think well of you for), but the practice seems to have
become too wide-ranging and feels improper in today"s office setting.
Thank you for understanding.
B. suggestions
C. reports
D. understanding
B. discontinue the present practice
C. quit being the organizer for gift giving
D. know more about co-workers" families
B. sympathy
C. appreciation
D. dissatisfaction
