23、“Beauty is only skin deep." This expression means that beauty is only a temporary surface quality. Some beauty products can cause lasting damage that goes far below the surface of the skin.
In America,many people use sunlight and non-natural light to darken their skin. Health
experts advise against what is called“tanning”because of its links to akin cancer. In the African country of Senegal(塞内加尔),some women take health risks trying to do just the opposite.
An average beauty supply shop in Dakar has many kinds of skin-lightening creams and
soaps. The World Health Organization says that 25%of Senegalese women use skin-lightening production a usual basis. These products can contain chemicals,like mercury(汞), hydroquinone(对苯二酚),etc. These are dangerous ingredients that can cause cancer and possibly other physical damage to the akin. They can actually burn the eyes and skin.
Shop worker Adama Diagne advises her visitors to avoid the stronger products that promise fast results. She users a cream that is made from carrots,not the strong chemical,hydroquinone. She says that it is a personal choice and that no one pressures her. Some women want to be black every day,but for her,she likes to be a shade of brown. Women in Senegal say they lighten their skin for the same reason that women all over the world make changes to their appearance. They say they want to look beautiful,to find a husband, to stand out in a crowd or simply to look great for a special event.
This thinking troubles Senegalese film-maker Khardiata Pouye Sall. So,she made“This
Color That Bothers Me",a film about the subject of skin lightening. She said,“I used the most shocking images so that women would see the dangers. It is hard to understand why a woman says that dark skin is not beautiful. It is in their heads. They want to please a man,to he loved or they want to please society,to succeed."
Ms. Sall says that the government needs to better control the marketing and the sale of skin-lightening products. But she adds that education is the best way to persuade people against using them.

24、 Have you ever complained about your to-do list but still kept busy with it? Me too. 【1】 Here’s how to get things done but enjoy yourself at the same time.
Rename it. My friend Jim Kwik says, “Call your ‘got-to-do’ list your ‘get-to-do’ list.” 【2】 Think about it. What a nice day if you get to, rather than “have got to”, walk your dog, choose fantastic food for dinner and go to a job that affords you the life you have!
【3】 Instead of writing plain reminders down as memory ones, like “Dentist” and “Report”, add some verbs and result-based benefits, like “Book dentist and get teeth shining white!” or “Complete report and breathe.” 【4】
Trust there’s time. Have you ever noticed when you’re in a rush, you make mistakes? For example, when you’re late for work, you can’t find your jeans, you hit your foot on the bed and you misplace your phone as you head down the lift. When we operate from a place of calm, things happen faster. 【5】 We don’t burn the toast. It can be as simple as sitting up in bed, taking ten deep breaths when you wake up and setting a simple goal for the day, not reaching straight for WeChat and email.
A.Add some action.
B.Make your list simple.
C.Never put off your to-do list.
