21、Beauty trends that are bad for your health
Nowadays, women and men are going to extreme lengths to look good. 【1】. Take a look at some beauty trends that aren’t so good for your health.
Tanning (晒成棕褐色)
Despite the serious health risks linked with indoor tanning, many Americans, particularly teens, still sit under sunlamps and on tanning beds to get a bronzed look. Indoor tanning beds and sunlamps give out UV radiation that can damage the skin, which can lead to premature skin aging, skin burns, eye damage and skin cancer. Nearly 28 million people tan indoors in the United States annually. 【2】.
Braids (辫子) and weaves
【3】. This type of hair loss occurs on the top of the head and can spread throughout the head. Braids and weaves are common hair treatments in the African-American community. 【4】, so they may be kept for weeks or months at a time to justify the money spent.
Contact lenses (隐形眼镜) that widen your eyes
Contact lenses that make your eyes appear bigger could cause serious vision problems. Consumers risk significant eye injuries and even blindness when they buy contact lenses without a valid prescription or help from an eye professional. The lenses have not been approved by the FDA, and it’s illegal to sell them in the U.S. 【5】. The lenses have become particularly popular among teenage girls.

E.Sometimes even at the cost of their health

22、Symptoms of Dehydration(脱水)
You’re bad- tempered.
Researchers tested the mood and concentration of 25 women who drank healthy amounts of water one day, and then didn’t over the next two days. When slightly dehydrated, the women reported tiredness, bad temper, headaches, and difficulty focusing. In a separate test, men with mild dehydration also had trouble with mental tasks. 【1】 Scientists are still trying to figure out why.
You have a bad workout.
【2】 It impacts how much you can push yourself. Even a 2 to 3 percent fluid loss affects your ability to get a good workout and more than 5 percent dehydration decreases exercise capacity by about 30 percent. A no-brainer way to avoid dehydration and dehydration symptoms is to aim for this much water per day.
【3】
Driving while dehydrated may be just as dangerous as getting behind the wheel drunk, in terms of how many mistakes you could make on the road. British researchers had participants take two-hour drives [using a simulator (模拟器). When they drank enough water, there were 47 driving errors. 【4】
You feel dizzy when you stand up too fast.
One of the signs of dehydration is when your blood volume and pressure drops, it can leave you feeling dizzy or faint, or bring on that rush of light-headedness after you quickly get up from sitting or lying down.
The exact treatment for dehydration symptoms depends on age and how severely dehydrated someone is. 【5】 Most of the time, however, people use some over-the-counter solutions for kids, and adults can drink more water
A. You drive like you’re drunk.
B. Dehydration can be life-threatening.
C. To get rid of dehydration you have to replace lost water.
D. In extreme cases, people might go to the hospital for a treatment.
E. Dehydration reduces blood pressure and makes the heart work harder.
F. But when it came to mood changes, women changed much more than men’s.
G. But when they are short of water, there were more than doubled driving errors to 101.

Durban, a great all-round destination in South Africa,is home to some of South Africa’s most diverse wildlife. There you can see an impressive array of wild animals in the flesh, from lions, leopards and elephants to endangered species.Durban KZN is now just a direct British Airways flight away—take a look at some of its most unforgettable wildlife experiences.
Hluhluwe-iMfolozi Park
Start north of Durban at one of South Africa’s most celebrated national parks. Hluhluwe-iMfolozi really comes alive during the winter months, when many animals congregate(聚集)at the water sources.Both the Black uMfolozi and White uMfolozi rivers flow through here, and it’s your best chance to see the Big Five all in one place lions, leopards, elephants, buffalo and rhinos, both black and white. Guided morning walks can be booked ahead for an astonishingly reasonable E12-f15.
Kosi Bay
It is an appealing complex of coastal lakes and an estuary(河口)with a peaceful, unspoiled atmosphere. The lake system in particular is home to a wide range of creatures, such as hippos, flamingos, crocodiles and Zambezi sharks(common bull sharks).You’ll also find more than 250 bird species here,including the rare palm-nut vultures.
Sodwana Bay
The three-mile Mgobozeleni Trail in Sodwana Bay presents excellent opportunities for bird watching, taking you through picturesque coastal forest and grassland.Deep-sea fishing is also popular here, but to really make the most of Sodwana you have to try the snorkelling(带呼吸管潜水). Come outside of the summer holidays to avoid the rush and you’ll be rewarded with enchanting, technicolour undersea life.
uMkhuze Game Reserve
At this point, you might be thinking, ‘Well, this is all well and good, but where are the hyenas?’That itch can be(metaphorically)scratched at uMkhuze, where the screeching beasts congregate in the dense scrubland, along with rhinos and elephants.

24、Your glasses may someday replace your smartphone, and some New Yorkers are ready for the switch. Some in the city can't wait to try them on and use the maps and GPS that the futuristic eyewear is likely to include.
" I'd use it if I were hanging out with friends at 3 a. m. and going to the bar and wanted to see what was open," said Walter Choo, 40, of Fort Greene.
The smartphone-like glasses will likely come out this year and cost between $250 and $600, the Times said, possibly including a variation of augmented(增强的) reality, a technology already available on smartphones and tablets (平板电脑) that overlays information onto the screen about one's surroundings. So, for example, if you were walking down a street, indicators would pop up showing you the nearest coffee shop or directions could be plotted out and come into view right on the sidewalk in front of you.
" As far as a mainstream consumer product, this just isn't something anybody needs," said Sam Biddle, who writes for Gizmodo.com. " We're accustomed to having one thing in our pocket to do all these things," he added, "and the average consumer isn't gonna be able to afford another device (装置) that's hundreds and hundreds of dollars. "
9to5Google publisher Seth Weintraub, who has been reporting on the smartphone-like glasses since late last year, said he is confident that this type of wearable device will eventually be as common as smartphones.
"It's just like smartphones 10 years ago," Weintraub said. "A few people started getting emails on their phones, and people thought that was crazy. Same kind of thing. We see people bending their heads to look at their smartphones, and it's unnatural," he said. " There's gonna be improvements to that, and this a step there. "
【1】One of the possible functions of the smartphone-like glasses is to ____.
A. program the opening hours of a bar
B. supply you with a picture of the future
C. provide information about your surroundings
D. update the maps and GPS in your smartphones

【3】According to Sam Biddle, the smartphone-like glasses are ____.

B. attractive to New Yorkers
C. available to people worldwide
D. expensive for average consumers
【4】We can learn from the last two paragraphs that the smartphone-like glasses ____.
A. may have a potential market

I counted his cash and nodded. The little boy was still holding the doll in his hand. Out of _______, I asked him who he presented the doll to. “It’s the doll that my sister loved most and longed for it so much. I wanted to _______ her for her Birthday.

“My Sister _______ to be with God. Daddy says that Mommy is going to see God very soon too, so I thought that she could give it to my sister.” My heart _______ stopped. Then he showed me a very nice photo _______ him, where he was laughing. He looked up at me, ________: “I want mommy to take my picture with her so my sister won’t ________ me, I love my mommy and I wish she doesn’t have to leave me, but daddy says that she ________ my little sister.”
Then he looked again at the doll with grieved eyes, very quietly. I quickly ________ for my wallet and said to the boy. “ ________ we check again, just in case you do have enough money for the doll?” He stared at me ________. I added some of my money to his without his ________ . There was enough for the doll and even some ________ money.

I also wished to have some to buy a white rose for mommy, but I didn’t dare to ask ________ . But he gave me enough to buy the doll and a white rose. My mommy loves white roses.”
