Forget countless glasses of water or getting your beauty sleep. The secret of looking young is simply to protect your face from the sun. A new study shows that those who avoid the sun’s rays look younger than they actually are. However, other supposed rules, from drinking lots of water to sleeping well and exercising regularly, failed to hold back the hands of time.
The finding comes from a study of 231 women of all ages who were quizzed about their living habits, including whether they were sun-worshippers. It didn’t take into account the sleep pattern. Then researchers from Massachusetts General Hospital guessed how old the women were. Those who took care in the sun tended to have aged more slowly. A lucky four had so few wrinkles and age spots that they appeared to be two decades younger than they really were.
Alexa Kimball, a professor of dermatology (皮肤学), says the popular idea that we drink lots of water to stay healthy is a myth and the body is good at judging how much we need. Previous research by the British Nutrition Foundation(BNF)reached a similar conclusion. Just drinking water for the sake of drinking water really has no effect on improving the skin.
A second study suggested that low-level day to day exposure to the sun is more ageing than occasional stay in the hot sun. Finally, DNA examination of tiny samples of the women’s skin gave some insight into the damage done by the sun.
Health experts claim that when women become old, the cells of the skin can be tired out. So they urge women should care about their face year round and not just when on a beach holiday. Besides, wearing the sunscreen every day can make a difference.
33. What do we know about the study?
A. It mainly focused on sleeping
B. The women were of the same age.
C. Four women looked 20 years younger
D. Low-level daily exposure is younger than occasional stay
34. What does Alexa Kimball agree with?
A. The body is made up of water.
B. The BNF is quite against his view.
C. Drinking water can improve the skin.
D. People shouldn’t rely on water to improve the skin
35. Which is suggested by health experts?
A. Women should avoid tiredness.
B. The sunscreen can do harm to the skin
C. Daily protection of the face is important
D. There is no need to protect the face in winter

A little bit of kindness
In our life there are times when we don’t take action because we feel the act of kindness is too little and that it won’t make a difference. 36 There are many different ways we can show kindness to others
Some people might think that they do not have a chance to give small acts of kindness. 37 For example, if you ride on a bus, have you ever said good morning to the bus driver or do you just ignore him or her and go to your seat? A simple good morning tells the person that you acknowledge him/her. 38
When you go to the supermarket of grocery store, do you hold the door open for a young woman pushing her baby in a stroller(婴儿车)? 39 When you are at school, do you say good morning to your classmates or just go about your study without acknowledging their presence? Or, do you say something kind to those people you meet on the street that ask for money or who are selling various goods?
Generally, a good morning, a door being held open and a kind word are only a few examples of small acts of kindness which can make a difference in ways you may not realize. 40
A. And the list can go on and on.
B. Everyone can do a little bit of kindness.
C. Don’t do anything due to its small kindness
D. Actually these opportunities are everywhere
E. Don’t you just go ahead through it without stopping!
F. And it is even an acknowledgement that can help to brighten a day.
G. However, sometimes the smallest gesture can influence someone’s life.
