and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phra that best fits the context.
Stay out of the Sun to Look Young
Forget drinking countless glass of water or getting your beauty sleep. The cret of looking
young is simply to stay out of the sun. A study of hundreds of women has revealed that tho who
avoided the sun’s rays looked up to 20 years younger than they actually are.
However, other suppod rules for a youthful complexion (肤色), from drinking lots of water to
sleeping well and exercising regularly, failed to 41 the hands of time. Only keeping out of the
sun, and wearing sunscreen when this wasn’t possible, made a 42 , the American Academy of Dermatology’s annual confer

women of all ages who were quizzed about their lives, including whether they were sun-lovers. When
rearchers from Massachutts General Hospital in the US – commissioned by skincare firm Olay –
guesd how old the women were, they found tho who 44 in the sun tended to have aged more
slowly. A lucky four had so few wrinkles and 45 spots, and such a fresh complexion, that they
appeared to be a full two decades younger than they really were.
风餐露宿Rearcher Dr Alexa Kimball, a professor of dermatology(皮肤医学), said the 46 advice
that we drink lots of water to stay healthy is actually a myth (谬见), and the body is ‘pretty good’ at judging how much we need.
Previous rearch by the British Nutrition Foundation reached a 47 conclusion. Experts
there said: ‘Just drinking water for the sake of drinking water really has no effect on improving the
-looking skin.
It isn’t clear why the women who 48 well didn’t have younger
appearance of skin.’

But it may be that the question they were asked was too 49 and didn’t
long-term sleep patterns.
A cond study, also by Olay, suggested that low-level day to day exposure to the sun is more
ageing than 50 , inten exposure. Finally, DNA examination of tiny samples of the women’s skin helped understand the 51 done by the sun. A gene called CDKN2A was more active in facial skin
that is expod to the elements than in samples taken from the bottoms. This gene was also more active
in women who said they loved the 52 –and in tho who looked older. Dr Kimball said
CDKN2A activity is a 53 that a cell is ‘tired out’ and urged women should protect their skin year round and not just when on a beach holiday.
Dr Frauke Neur, principal scientist at Olay, which has ud the 54 to develop its latest
face creams, said: ‘This rearch gives us a detailed picture of the effect of sun exposure on skin ageing
and illustrate the importance of protection on a 55 basis.’

（A）彩铅画人物
Mickey Mou and Shrek are just a couple of the American animated (动画的) characters loved the world over. And they are examples of the evolution of animation, which has brought unique new
life to the film industry.
Among the first American animated films was Light of the Moon, a silent movie produced in 1911 using silhouette (剪影) animation, where the characters are reprented only as black silhouettes.
The real breakthrough for American animation came with Steamboat Willie, created by Walt Disney and relead in 1928. It was the first animated film to be accompanied by sound, and its main star, Mickey Mou, became one of the most loveable and enduring animated characters ever created. Disney also created the first American full-length animated film, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. Relead in 1937, it enjoyed worldwide box-office success.
Disney’s extremely careful attention to high-quality detail in the thousands of hand-painted drawings required at that time to make an animated film elevated this film technique to the level of a rious art form.
Clay animation is a type of stop-motion animation using forms made of clay. Clay animation films have been produced in the United States since 1908. But this form of animation only won wide popular appeal in 1955 with a short film called Gumbasia, created by Art Clokey.
Computer-generated imagery, or CGI, brought animation to a new level of artistry and realism. Ud in film since the 1960s, CGI animation began to develop rapidly in the mid-1990s. Toy Story, relead in 1995 and created by Pixar and Disney Studios, was the first completely computer-generated animated feature film.
In 2001, DreamWorks and Pacific Data Images relead Shrek, the first computer-animated feature film to win an Oscar. Shrek returned in 2004 with his talking donkey, his princess bride Fiona
