题目内容

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 - yon 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 Mexico's 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 (当地的) museum hours correct or you could really ruin someone's vacation.

Which country does Jarolim have in now?

A. Mexico. B. The U.S. C. The U.K D. Canada

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.

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.

What would he the best title for the text7

A. Adventures in Travel Writing B. Working as a Food Critic C. Travel Guides on the Market D. Vacationing for a Living

What kind of work does Jarolim do?

A. teacher B. worker C. reporter D. writer and food critic

Microwaves may be great at warming up food, but what about warming people?

Using microwaves to directly heat owners of a room would save much of the energy wasted by heating walls and furniture. And despite popular ideas about microwaves, this technique would be safe, according to Charles R. Buffler of the Microwave Research Center in Marlborough, New Hampshire. Low-power microwaves only penetrate (贯穿) the skin (low-power microwave penetration in a ham is about 0.2 inches, for example) and with no negative effects.

To test this idea, Buffler subjected himself to microwaves in a special room using a standard 500-watt, 2459 MHz magnetron (磁控管). He found that a person will start to feel warmth at about 20 milliwatts per square centimeter (mw. /sq.cm.); a satisfactory feeling of warmth occurs between 35 and 50 mw./sq.cm. By comparison, a person standing in noonday summer sun feels the amount of 85 mw./sq.cm. And a frozen meat pie in your microwave oven receives about 1000 mw./sq. cm.

In houses of the future, each room could be provided with its own magnetron, says Buffler. When you stepped into the living room, for example, a motion detector would turn on the magnetron, filling the room with low-power microwaves. In the same way that a microwaves oven heats up a hamburger, but not the plate it’s on, you would feel warmth from the microwaves without changing the temperature of your coffee table. (You could, however, make your favorite easy chair even more comfortable by treating it with a radiation-absorbing chemical.)

While it might be some time before homeowners are comfortable enough with the idea to set up whole body microwave heaters in houses, Buffler says microwaves may attract livestock farmers. Lambs that are born outdoors in winter, for example, are frequently lost to cold. Microwaves could warm the lambs safely and quickly.

Which of the following can tell the main idea of the passage?

A. A new heating system. B. A new microwave oven.

C. A popular technique. D. The magnetron.

The test conducted by Buffler shows that when a person feels comfortable warmth, he receives about ____.

A. 20 mw. / sq. cm. B. 40 mw. / sq. cm.

C. 60 mw. / sq. cm. D. 85 mw. / sq. cm.

According to paragraph 4, which of the following fills the room with low-power microwaves?

A. The magnetron. B. The motion detector.

C. The microwave oven. D. The radiation-absorbing chemical.

Which of the following statements about microwave heaters would Buffler most probably agree with?

A. Microwave heaters will soon be widely used by homeowners.

B. Microwave heaters sometimes make people feel uncomfortable.

C. Microwave heaters will be probably first used by livestock farmers to protect their lambs in winter.

D. Microwave heaters cannot be accepted by the public because they are somewhat unsafe.

I know what you’re thinking : pizza （比萨饼）? For breakfast? But the truth is that you can have last night’s leftovers in the a. m. if you want to.

I know lots of women who skip breakfast （不吃早餐） , and they have a ton of different excuses for doing it . Some say they don’t have time. others think they’re “saving” calories （卡路里）, still others just don’t like breakfast food .

But the bottom line is that eating in the morning is very important when you’re trying to lose weight. “Eating just about anything from 300 to 400 calories would be better than nothing at all,” says Katherine Brooking , R , D , who developed the super-easy eating plan for this year’s “SELF CHALLENGE”. And even pizza can be healthy if it’s loaded with vegetables, and you stick to one small piece. 21 Breakfast is one meal I never miss, and the same goes for most weight loss success stories. Research shows that eating breakfast keeps you from overeating later in the day. Researchers at the University of Southem California found that breakfast skippers have a bigger chance of gaining weight than those who regularly have a morning meal.

So eat something in the morning, anything. I know plenty of friends who end up having no breakfast altogether, and have just coffee or orange juice. I say, try heating up last night’s leftovers-it may sound crazy, but if it works for you, do it! I find if I tell myself, “You can always eat it tomorrow,” I put away the leftovers instead of eating more that night. Try it…you may save yourself some pre-bedtime calories. And watch your body gain the fat-burning effects.

The word “leftovers” in Paragraph 1 probably means__________.

A.food remaining after a meal B. things left undone

C. meals made of vegetables D. pizza topped with fruit

What can we infer from the text?

A. Working women usually have breakfast in a hurry.

B. Many people have wrong ideas about breakfast.

C. There are some easy ways of cooking a meal.

D. Eating vegetables helps save energy.

According to the last paragraph, it is important to____________.

A. eat something for breakfast B. be careful about what you eat

C. heat up food before eating it D. eat calorie-controlled food

The text is written mainly for those_____________.

A. who go to work early B. who want to lose weight

C. who stay up late D. who eat before sleep
