11、ints)Text 1It is important to protect yourself from harmful rays. But if you think a high-factor sunscreen keeps you safe from harmful rays, you may be wrong. Research in this weeks Nature shows that while factor 50 reduces the number of melanomas (黑瘤)and delays their occurrence, it cant prevent the

12、m. Melanomas are the most aggressive skin cancers. You have a higher risk if you have red or blond hair, fair skin, blue or green eyes, or sunburn easily, or if a close relative has had one. Melanomas are more common if you have periodic intense exposure to the sun. Other skin cancers are increasing

13、ly likely with long-term exposure.There is continuing debate as to how effective sunscreen is in reducing melanomas - the evidence is weaker than it is for preventing other types of skin cancer. A 2011 Australian study of 1,621 people found that people randomly selected to apply sunscreen daily had

14、half the rate of melanomas of people who used cream as needed. A second study, comparing 1,167 people with melanomas to 1.101 who didnt have the cancer, found that using sunscreen routinely, alongside other protection such as hats, long sleeves or staying in the shade, did give some protection. This

15、 study said other forms of sun protection - no sunscreen - seemed most beneficial. The study relied on people remembering what they had done over each decade of their lives, so its not entirely reliable. But it seems reasonable to think sunscreen gives people a false sense of security in the sun.Man

16、y people also dont use sunscreen properly applying insufficient amounts, foiling to reapply after a couple of hours and staying in the sun too long. It is sunburn that is most worrying - recent research shows five episodes of sunburn in the teenage years increases the risk of all skin cancers.The go

17、od news is that a combination of sunscreen and covering up can reduce melanoma rates, as shown by Australian figures from their slip-slop-slap campaign. So if there is a heat wave this summer, it would be best for us, too, to slip on a shirt, use sunscreen and slap on a hat.1、Whats peoples common ex

19、rs.B. The studies are based on direct observation of the subjects.C. The studies may help people select the most effective sunscreen.D. Daily application of sunscreen helps reduce the incidence of melanomas.3、What does the author suggest in order to reduce melanoma rates?A. Staying in the shade when

25、re with Allison.Experiment Two: Allison continued to sometimes gave two pieces and sometimes one piece. But now, half the time, Jake gave the one apple piece he was showing, and half the time he added a bonus. Guess what? The monkeys chose to trade more with Jake.In the first experiment, the monkeys

26、 correctly figured out that if they traded with Allison, theyd end up with more treats. In the second one, when a monkey received two pieces from Jake, it seemed like again. When Allison gave the monkey only one piece instead of the two she showed, it seemed like a loss. The monkeys preferred tradin

27、g with Jake because theyd rather take a chance of seeming to win than seeming to lose.We also sometimes make silly business decisions just to avoid the feeling that were getting less, even when were not.
