Finally，I entered the university. Because of my careful savings，I did not have to work during the school years. Then summer came and it was time to work harder than ever. I continued working as a waitress at night，instructed tennis camps several mornings a week and worked as a secretary for a few hours in the afternoons. I even decided to take a class at a community college. This class at the community college saved me $650.It was an extremely tiring summer and made me anxious to return to my relatively easy life at the university.

During my second and third years of undergraduate schooling，I decided to work about five hours per week in the campus admissions office answering phones. This provided a little spending money and kept me from drawing my savings out .The overall situation looked hopeful as I approached my senior year as long as I could make as much money as I had the previous summer. I wanted to go to Israel to study for 3 weeks，but I hesitated in making this decision because it would cost me $1,600 more to get the credits in Israel. About two weeks later my mom called to tell me that I had $1,600 in the bank that I had forgotten about！One of my concerns about this trip was not only the cost，but the loss of time to make money；however，I made as much that summer in the ten weeks when I was at home as I had made during the fourteen weeks when I was at home the summer before. The way everything worked together to make this trip possible was one of the most exciting things that have ever happened to me.

This experience has shaped me in many important ways. The first thing that I learned was the importance of a strong work ethic. Working long hours did a lot to develop my character and helped me learn the value of a dollar. It also made me learn how to search for creative ways to settle difficult situations.

Sunscreens (防曬霜) can offer protection from two types of ultraviolet (UV) rays (紫外線): UVB, which according to the Skin Cancer Foundation, are the chief cause of sunburn and play a key role in the development of skin cancer, and UVA, which get through the skin more deeply and are largely responsible for skin aging and wrinkling, as well as skin cancer risk. The SPF (防曬指數(shù)) measurement on sunscreens refers to the UVB protection level — and the number may not mean what you think it does. SPF 15 doesn’t protect you from 15% of UVB rays, just as SPF 100 doesn’t protect you from 100% of the rays. In fact, as you get into the higher numbered SPF sunscreens (think: 50 and above), the difference in UVB protection is actually pretty small.

Theoretically, though the increase in UVB protection with a super-high SPF sunscreen may be not worth considering, it may help, and certainly can’t hurt, to use it — that is, as long as you do so correctly. “The only downside is whether you’re giving yourself a sense of false security,” Dr. Gohara says.

Indeed, as Dr. Wang also pointed out, when people choose increased SPFs, they may actually feel so protected by the product that they finally ignore proper sun protection. “When people use really high SPF products, they tend not to reuse, they tend to stay out in the sun much longer, and they don’t use other protective measures such as clothing and hats,” he says. Regardless of any increase in protection that a high SPF may or may not offer, one thing is certain: It doesn’t give your body a free pass from sunburns, aging, or cancers, and it doesn’t protect you from those things for any greater length of time than the lower SPF options. Both Dr. Wang and Dr. Gohara emphasized that, no matter what the SPF is, it’s important to reapply your sunscreen every two hours.

1.What rays can cause skin cancer according to the text?

A. UVB. UVAC. UVBD. UVA&UVB

2.What can we know about SPF from Paragraph 1?

A. It tells us the UVB protection level.

B. It’s better to use higher numbered SPF.

C. SPA100 means preventing 100% rays.

D. There’s a big difference between SPF 50 and above.

3.Which of the following can replace the underlined word “downside” in Paragraph 2?

A. protectionB. disadvantage

C. resultD. method

4.Why are we advised to reapply our sunscreen every two hours?

A. We choose too low SPF products.

B. The higher SPF can make us stay outside longer.

C. Clothing and hats are not enough for sun protection.

D. It can’t completely protect us from aging, sunburns or cancers.
