         When you're lying on the white sands of the Mexican Riviera, 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 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.
    1. Which country does Jarolim live in now?
    A. Mexico
    B. The U.S.
    C. The U.K.
    D. Canada
    2. 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
    C. Finishing her work as soon as possible
    D. Passing a test to write travel guides 
    3. What do we know about Jarolim from the text?
    A. She is successful in her job
    B. She finds her life full of stresses
    C. She spends half of her time traveling
    D. She is especially interested in museums
    4. What would be the best title for the text?
    A. Adventures in Travel Writing
    B. Working as a Food Critic
    C. Travel Guides on the Market
    D. Vacationing for a Living

         One year ago today, seven patients shared their stories of illness and recovery on the New York Time Well
    (a blog), according to a report published in April,2009.
         They were the first Patient Voices, a regular series that offers a first person (第一人称的) description of
    the challenges patients face as they deal with different kinds of health problems. Since the first Patient Voices
    appeared, New York Times producer Karen Barrow has continued to give a voice to a lot of patient stories.
         We heard from Jacqueline Castine of Bloomfield Hills, Mich,who had bipolar disorder (躁郁症), and whose
    son also suffered from mental (精神的) illness."I could not save him," she said."I could not fix (惩罚 ) him.
    He leaves a beautiful daughter and a very sad mother."
         And there is runner Alyssa Johnson,43,who was training for the Boston Marathon in 2003 when she began
    showing the first signs of Parkinson's disease." Sometimes when I'm running I'll come to a long downhill, and
    my legs work the way they used to work and my arm swings (摆动) the way it used to. It's like running before Parkinson's, and that's the best feeling.
         And then there's the voice of Robin Grinsted, 50, of Swansea, S. C.,who has H. I. V. She is refused by her
    church and feels lonely."They're not accepting," she said." But I know there will be people putting their arms
    around me some day."
