Bill Bryson是美国著名游记作家。阅读下面列出的他的一些作品的简要介绍，从A—F 中找出相应的封面。This book is a guide to the world’s unspoilt sights and experiences. It presents one thousand fresh and fascinating alternatives to hundreds of well-known tourist destinations and sights, including alternatives to the Carnival in Rio and the beaches of Thailand, the most-visited national parks, over-rated restaurants and holiday sites.
In this collection, Bill Bryson is writing from home. We find he assesses life both in New England and in the contemporary United States. With the telescopic perspective(远望视角) of one who has stepped out of the American mainstream and come back after 20 years, Bryson holds the mirror up to U.S. culture and feel strange to his motherland.
Returning to the U.S. after 20 ye
ars in England, Bill Bryson decided to reconnect with his mother country by hiking the length of the 2100-mile Appalachian Trail. Awed by merely the camping section of his local sporting goods store, he still goes into the wilderness and learns hard lessons about self-reliance.A travelogue by Bill Bryson is as close to a sure thing as funny books get. This book is no exception. Following an urge to rediscover his youth, the author leaves his native Des Moines, Iowa, in a journey that takes him to across 38 states in the country, which is like a small town in his opinion.
Born in Iowa, Bryson backpacked through Europe as a young man. While living in England some 20 years later, he revisited many of the same places from arctic Norway’s northern lights to romantic Capri in Italy. Here he jumps back and forth between old memories and new experiences.

A hobby is an investment of time. It also can be an investment of money and commitment. Many people choose to develop more than one type of hobby. When it comes to choosing the hobby, consider the following factors.
Hobbies are usually an activity of some sort that brings out a certain skill that you have. When you have a talent like painting or woodworking, it can be easy to determine which hobby suits your skill. Skill can be developed and challenged as you go along. It is not a necessary requirement. A hobby is fitting because you love it, not because you’re a professional at it.]
Some people particularly enjoy taking part in hobbies that they can do in a group with others. It can be a lot more fun to become a member of a hobby group than to sit alone in your basement. It’s important to share interests and network with other hobby enthusiasts that do what you do.
Hobbies are generally an activity that you undertake because of the joy it brings you. Of course many people have discovered the joy that also comes with a hobby that earns you a living. Just make sure you make the choice that fits your lifestyle and personal preference.
But most of the skilled hobbies like art, building or writing have a series of lessons or tutorials that you can take to further your skills. In some cases it’s a really good idea to take lessons, especially if you are clueless as to where or how to begin. Step by step books for most hobbies can often be found in bookstores as well.
| A．However, hobbies don’t have to be skill related. |
| B．Most hobbies can easily be done within your own home, at your leisure. |
| C．Look one up or start your own. |
| D．Read hobby books to learn more about your chosen hobby! |
E. Make a list of things that you enjoy or don’t know about.
F. It can be a necessary part of selecting the hobby that is right for you.
G. Whether it’s full time, part time or not at all, you must decide whether your hobby applies to you.

以下是一些游客对宾馆的评论。请将所给的评论和宾馆信息匹配起来。 I would recommend all tourists choose the hotel. Its owner Miss Scarlet herself couldn't be more pleased with this southern beauty. I am so grateful for the convenience it offered to my husband who has to use a wheelchair. The professionally decorated living area, the personal touches are all unforgettable.
You will feel as though you're on top of the world in your very own Outer Banks "tree house" this year！What .disappointed me most is that pets are not allowed to bring in there. But it is only 150 feet from beach access and just 500 feet from the beach!
This home has a fantastic location just 1 lot away from the easy-to-navigate beach, and is a short walk away from the fishing dock, shops，movie rentals and restaurants. We couple are in our seventies and we are breathing the charming sunshine. You will love the ocean and beach views from multiple furnished decks.
I will miss the charming hotel forever. You'll catch an abundance of outstanding comfort in the charming town. Take your lovely dog and walk in the forests. Also you can enjoy the happiness the modern technology brings you on the Internet.
The beautiful place made me feel right at home. The large well-equipped kitchen and char- coal and gas grills gave plenty of choices for cooking. I can't stop smoking even when I am on vacation. And I show no interest in surfing on the Internet But I really had a great time in. here.
