The father finally felt more optimistic about his child, but now he worried about his wife’s reaction to the son’s large ears. “She doesn’t take things as easily as I do,” he said to the nurse.

By this time, the new mother was settled in the recovery room and ready to meet her new baby.The baby was wrapped up in a blanket with his head covered for the short trip through the cold air-conditioned corridor.

If you think a high-factor sunscreen（防晒霜）keeps you safe from harmful rays, you may be wrong. 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.

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 applying 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.

Many people also don't use sunscreen properly-applying insufficient amounts, failing 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 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（抹上）sunscreen and slap on a hat.

28.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.

29. What do we learn from the 2011 Australian 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.

30.What does the author say about the second Australian study?

A. It misleads people to rely on sunscreen for protection.

B. It helps people to select the most effective sunscreen.

C. It is not based on direct observation of the subjects.

D. It confirms the results of the first Australian study.

31. 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.

D

When it's five o'clock, people leave their office. The length of the workday, for many workers, is defined by time. They leave when the clock tells them they're done.

These days, the time is everywhere: not just on clocks or watches, but on cell-phones and computers. That may be a bad thing, particularly at work. New research shows that clock-based work schedules hinder morale (士气) and creativity.

Clock-timers organize their day by blocks of minutes and hours. For example: a meeting from 9 a. m. to 10 a. m. , research from 10 a. m. to noon, etc. On the other hand, task-timers have a list of things they want to accomplish. They work down the list, each task starts when the previous task is completed. It is said that all of us employ a mix of both these types of planning.

What, then, are the effects of thinking about time in these different ways? Does one make us more productive? Better at the tasks at hand? Happier? In experiments conducted by Tamar Avnet and Anne-Laure Sellier, they had participants organize different activities—from project planning, holiday shopping, to yoga—by time or to-do list to measure how they performed under "clock time" vs "task time". They found clock timers to be more efficient but less happy because they felt little control over their lives. Task timers are happier and more creative, but less productive. They tend to enjoy the moment when something good is happening, and seize opportunities that come up.

The researchers argue that task-based organizing tends to be undervalued and under-supported in business culture. Smart companies, they believe, will try to bake more task-based planning into their strategies.

This might be a small change to the way we view work and the office, but the researchers argue that it challenges a widespread characteristic of the economy: work organized by clock time. While most people will still probably need, and be, to some extent, clock-timers, task-based timing should be used when performing a job that requires more creativity. It'll make those tasks easier, and the task-doers will be happier.

32. What is the way for people to do their work according to the author?

A. They give priority to the most urgent task on hand.

B. They set a time limit for each specific task.

C. They combine clock-based and task-based planning.

D. They accomplish their tasks one by one.

33. What did the researchers find in their experiments about clock-timers?

A.They tend to be more productive.

B. They seize opportunities as they come up.

C. They always get their work done in time.

D.They have more control over their lives.

34. What is the researchers’ opinion about today's business culture?

A. It does not support the strategies adopted by smart companies.

B. It places more emphasis on work efficiency than on workers' lives.

C. It aims to bring employees' potential and creativity into full play.

D.It does not lay enough emphasis on task-based practice.

35. From the passage, what can we conclude ?

A. It is important to keep a balance between work and life.

B. Task-based timing is preferred for doing creative work.

C. Performing creative jobs tends to make workers happier.

D. A scientific standard should be adopted in job evaluation.
