These are common foods in your kitchen that possess sun-protection compounds to aid your current sun-protection routine. Check them out to deal with-or prevent-summer sunburn.

Burn-fighting effect: When your whole body is sunburned, oatmeal provides the best type of relief.

Sunburn treatment: Break oatmeal into very small pieces, add it to cool water and apply it every two to four hours.

4. Tomatoes

Burn-fighting effect: Tomatoes can help protect your skin from sun damage. In one study, volunteers who ate five spoons of tomato paste daily for three months enjoyed 25 per cent more natural protection against sunburn.

Why are people interested in eating raw foods or whole foods? One reason is that eating these types of food reduces the risk of acid accumulation in your body.

Raw and whole foods are usually digested more efficiently than cooked and refined foods. When we cook foods, we destroy the natural enzymes (酶) that are part of the food in its raw form. These enzymes were intended by nature to help us digest the food. When we consume food without these natural enzymes, our bodies either digest the food improperly or allow too many nutrients to be absorbed into the bloodstream. In both instances, the result is obesity. When too many nutrients are absorbed at once, the body grows fat. Improperly digested food moves slowly through the digestive tract, where it becomes increasingly acidic. To protect its vital organs from this acidic waste, the body changes the acid into fat and stores it safely away from the organs.

Processed foods contain chemical elements, which might confuse the appetite mechanism that tells us when we’ve had enough to eat; as a result, people often overeat. Processed foods also upset the digestive cycle. The body will either identify these foods as allergens and then store them safely away from the organs as fat, or the remains of undigested food will become acidic and enter the bloodstream as acid waste, which will stick to the blood vessel walls and block the passage of vital oxygen and nutrients heading for the body’s cells. The body’s metabolism (新陈代谢) becomes inactive, and the result is weight gain and obesity.

The accumulation of acid in the digestive tract makes digestion increasingly inefficient. When that happens, even healthy foods can become acidic and the food allergies will become more common.

To stop this vicious（恶性的） circle in its tracks, people need to consume food and supplements that will neutralize the acid already accumulated in body. Eating the right types of raw and whole foods can help. It’s also important to restore your enzyme balance. You need to identify and avoid the foods that cause acid accumulation and consume the foods that increase enzyme production. If you truly want to change and help your body heal itself, you need to take an active approach.

1.It can be inferred from Para. 2 that __________.

2.Processed foods are unhealthy because they __________.

3.What is the main purpose of this passage?

4.What is likely to be talked about following the last paragraph?

5.What can we learn from the text?

McDonalds, KFC, Burger King, Jack in the Box... These fast food companies have something in common. Can you spot it?

Besides all being fast food chains, they’re all red. And it’s not a coincidence. Color is one of the many strategies companies use to connect with customers. And if swearing off fast food wasn’t hard enough, those colorful red logos might make it even harder to ignore.

There is a common belief among parents that schools are no longer interested in spelling. No school I have taught in has ever considered spelling unimportant as a basic skill. There are, however, quite different ideas about how to teach it, or how much priority(优先) it must be given over general language development and writing ability. The problem is, how to encourage a child to express himself freely in writing without holding him back with spelling.

If spelling becomes the only point of his teacher’s interest, clearly a bright child will be likely to “play safe”. He will write only words within his spelling range(范围). That’s why teachers often encourage the early use of dictionaries and pay attention to content（内容）rather than technical（技术的）ability.

I was once shocked to read on the bottom of a sensitive piece of writing about a personal experience: “This work is terrible! There are far too many spelling mistakes.” It may have been a sharp criticism(批评) of the pupils technical abilities in writing, but it was also a sad thing for the teacher who had failed to read the composition（作文）, which contained some beautiful expressions of the child’s deep feelings. The teacher was not wrong to draw attention to the mistakes, but if his priority had centered on the child’s ideas, an expression of his disappointment with the presentation would have given the pupil more hope to seek improvement.

1.The expression “play safe” probably means _______.

A. to write carefully　　 B. to do as teachers say

C. to use dictionaries frequently　　 D. to avoid using words one is not sure of

2.Teachers encourage the use of dictionaries so that ________.

A. students will be able to express their ideas more freely

B. teachers will have less trouble in correcting mistakes

C. students will have more trust in writing

D. students will learn to spell words correctly

3.The writer seems to think that the teacher’s judgment on that sensitive piece of writing is _______.

A. reasonable　　 B. unfair

C. foolish　　 D. careless

4.The major point discussed in the passage is _______.

A. the importance of developing writing skills

B. the importance of spelling

C. the correct way of marking composition

D. the relationship between spelling and the content of a composition
