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 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's Travel Guide in 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 US. that she moved there.

Now as a travel writer, she spends one­third 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 fact­checking 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.

72Which country does Jarolim live in now?

AMexico.                     BThe US.

CThe UK.                         DCanada.

73What is most difficult for Jarolim?

AWorking in different places to collect information.

BChecking all the facts to be written in the guides.

CFinishing her work as soon as possible.

DPassing a test to write travel guides.

74What do we know about Jarolim from the text?

AShe is successful in her job.

BShe finds her life full of stresses.

CShe spends half of her time traveling.

DShe is especially interested in museums.

75What would be the best title for the text?

CTravel Guides on the Market

DVacationing for a Living
