A

A high-factor sunscreen（防晒霜)is generally expected to protect the skin from harmful rays, but it isn’t. A new research in this week's Nature shows that while factor 50 reduces the number of melanomas（黑瘤)and delays their occurrence, it can't prevent them. 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 increasingly 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 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 didn't 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 study said other forms of sun protection—not sunscreen—seemed most beneficial. The study relied on people remembering what they had done over each decade of their lives, so it's not entirely reliable. But it seems reasonable to think sunscreen gives people a false sense of security in the sun.

The good 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, slop on sunscreen and slap on a hat.

21.What is people's common expectation of a high-factor sunscreen？ A. It will delay the occurrence of skin cancer. B. It will protect them from sunburn.

C. It will keep their skin smooth and fair. D. It will work for people of any skin color.

22.What do we learn from the 2011Australian study of 1,621 people？ A. Sunscreen should be applied alongside other protection measures. B. High-risk people benefit the most from the application of sunscreen. C. Irregular application of sunscreen does women more harm than good. D. Daily application of sunscreen helps reduce the incidence of melanomas. 23.What does the author suggest to reduce melanoma rates？ A. Using both covering up and sunscreen. B. Staying in the shade whenever possible. C. Using covering up instead of sunscreen. D. Applying the right amount of sunscreen.

B

A recent global survey of 2 000 high-net-worth individuals found that 60% were not planning on a traditional retirement. Among US participants, 75% expected to continue working in some capacity even after stepping away from full-time jobs. \by doing something they're passionate (有激情）about,\says Daniel Egan, head of behavioral finance for Barclays Wealth Americas. \the choice, they prefer to continue working.\Barclays calls these people “nevertirees”.

Unlike many Americans compelled into early retirement by company restrictions, the average nevertiree often has no one forcing his hand. If 106-year-old investor Irving Kahn, head of his own family firm, wants to keep coming to work every day, who's going to stop him? Seventy-eight-year-old Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s job security is guaranteed in the Constitution.

It may seem that these elderly people are trying to cheat death. In fact, they are. And it’s working. Howard Friedman, a professor at UC Riverside, found in his research that those who work hardest and are successful in their careers often live the longest lives. \being given bad advice to slow down, take it easy, stop worrying, and retire to Florida，\He described one study participant, still working at the age of 100, who was recently disappointed to see his son retire.
