8.When you stretch out in the sun you can do one of the three things: you can use no sun tan oil, an ordinary sun tan oil; or Bergasol.If you don't use any sun tan oil when you're inthe sun, you will burn surprisingly quickly. If you use an ordinary sun tan oil, you will protect your skin to a lesser or greater degree.How much protection depends on the "protection-factor number" on the bottle. Some oils block out so many of the sun's rays and you can stay in the sun all day without burning but you won't go very brown,either.Bergasol will protect your skin like an ordinarysun tan oil. It also has a tan accelerator that speeds up the rate at which the sun activates the skin cells that produce melanin(黑色素). It is melanin that gives the skin its brown colour. Bergasol enables you to go brown faster,am as the days pass the difference will become more obvious.Unfortunately, this special formulation isn't Cheap to prepare.So Bergasol is rather more expensive than ordinary sun tan oil. However, the price looks more attractive as you do.Bergasoi It makes you go brown fasterProtection Many people imagine that "cover-up" means you don't get a tan. Nothing to show for your holiday.Not so. With "cover-up", you can get brown ifyou want to.

Passage Three

Eating an apple a day doesn' t keep the doctor away, but it does reduce the amount of trips you make to the drug store per year. That ' s according to a new study that investigates whether there' s any truth in the old saying.A team of researchers led by Dr Matthew Davis, of the University of Michigan School of Nursing,asked 8,399 participants to answer survey questions about diet and health. A total of 753 were apple eaters, consuming at least 149g of raw apple per day. The remaining 7,646 were classed as non-apple eaters. When both groups answered questions on trips to the doctor and trips to the drug store per year,the apple eaters were found to be 27% less likely to visit the druggist for drugs.Trips to the doctor were not significantly affected by apple consumption, though. "Evidence does not support that an apple a day keeps the doctor away. However, the small number of US adults who eat an apple a day does appear to use fewer prescription medications," the study concludes.Apple eaters were also found to be less likely to smoke and be more likely to have a higher educational attainment than non-apple eaters. While apples do not compete with oranges, they docontain some immune (免疫的) system-increasing vitamin C, which may be why apple-eaters visit the druggist less. With over 8mg of vitamin C per medium-sized fruit, an apple can provide roughly 14% your daily recommended intake.Previous studies have also linked apple consumption to a lower risk of Type 2 diabetes (二型糖尿病) ,improved lung function and a lower risk of colon (结肠) cancer.44. How many non-apple eaters answered survey questions in the research?

13.What can you do to recall your dreams more often and interpret them more clearly? The expertsoffer these suggestions: Develop an idea. Before you go to sleep, consciously think about a topicor a person you’d like to dream about. Raise a question that’s troubling you and see how yourdream responds to it. Keep track. Next to your bed, place a pen and some paper, or a tape recorderor a laptop(笔记本电脑) , to record your dreams as soon as you wake up. Try to wake up naturally,without the help of an alarm clock or barking dog that can interrupt your dream cycle. If yourschedule doesn’t allow you to sleep in during the week, begin your dream journey on a weekendor during a vocation. Wake up slowly. For the first moment after you wake up, lie still and keepyour eyes closed, because your dream may be connected to your body position while you slept.Try to recall the dream and then store it in your memory by giving it a name like “Late for an Exam”or “My Dare with Ashley Judd” when you rise, immediately wrote down as many images, feelingand impressions as you can. Connect the dots. To better interpret your dreams, try to makeconnection between your recalled dreams and recent events. Do you recognize people from thepresent or past? Can you detect any themes from the dream? Look for partners over severaldreams that might help explain an individual dream. Change the outcome. If you have nightmareshappening again and again that make it different to sleep, try to change the endings. Once youwake up from a bad dream, imagine a change in the action to create more positive outcome. If youare trapped, try to fly. In your dream, you can do what you want!In which column of a magazine or newspaper may the article appear?
