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 travel writer and tood 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 Complate Idiot’s Travel Guide to Mexican Beach Resarts.

……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 workedfor 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 difficrlt 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 Jarllim 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

 

—Tom often plays the record very loud at midnight in his apartment.

—________！

A．Just your luck B．Better not

“I like your smile, but unlike you put your shoes on my face”. A charming way of saying “Keep off the grass”. But could you figure it out? Or this: “Wash Clothing Store” for laundry.

They are both typical Chinglish, a combination of English vocabulary and Chinese grammar. Expressions such as “people mountain people sea”， means extremely crowded, and “give you some color to see”， meaning a punishment, are widely known and recognized.

Chinglish has been attracting global attention in recent years as China grows rapidly in stature on the world stage, attracting both fans and detractors.

The Beijing Speaks Foreign Languages Programme and English First China Company, a language trainer known as EF Education, jointly launched a campaign to root out poor grammar and misused vocabulary in downtown Beijing. They argue Chinglish is an embarrassment that we should let it die out at all costs.

“It is meaningful, to allow the capital show its most beautiful historical and cultural heritage to the world.” Michael Lu, vice?president of EF Education said, “since the launching of the campaign, foreign teachers and students had been very keen to volunteer participation.” He believed signs were very important in public services. “The signs in some old buildings confused foreign visitors.”

Chinglish, although the target of much criticism, has also won supporters who regard it as an interesting way for foreigners to learn how Chinese people think and express themselves.

“Many Chinglish logos carry Chinese elements and they will enrich the English language，” 32?year?old Oliver Radtke said. He had even published a book “Chinglish: Found in Translation，” on the subject. About 50 000 copies of the book have been sold since it was published in 2007.

Some Chinese university experts also side with Chinglish. “English has absorbed elements from other languages such as French and Spanish in its growth, and the emergence of Chinglish again testifies to the language's vitality and inclusiveness，” said Shi Anbin, an associate professor of Tsinghua University.

1.How did Chinglish come into being?

A．Chinese people misunderstood the meaning of the new words.

B．Chinese people combined English vocabulary with Chinese grammar.

C．Chinese people based their English on the native English speakers.

D．Chinese people make wide use of English vocabulary with bad spelling.

2.What Shi Anbin said means ________.

A．there are many French and Spanish words in English

B．English is the language with vitality and inclusiveness

C．Chinglish enriches English and shouldn't be got rid of

D．Chinglish has greater effect on English than French and Spanish

3.According to Oliver Radtke, Chinglish ________.

A．shows how Chinese people think

B．does damage to the English language

C．shows the great humor of Chinese people

D．should be sold to all over the world
