And that, he

10、claims, is pretty much all of us.

12、misconception that doing two things at once allows you to get more done. What is commonly called multitasking is, in fact, switch-tasking, and its harmful effects on productivity are well documented. Pang doesnt advocate returning to a pre-Internet world. Instead, he asks you to“ take a more ecologi

20、 Disney, Hollywood and year-round sun. You may think people in such a glamorous, fun-filled place are happier than others. If so, you have some mistaken ideas about the nature of happiness.Many intelligent people still equate happiness with fun. The truth is that fun and happiness have little or not

21、hing in common. Fun is what we experience during an act. Happiness is what we experience after an act. It is a deeper, more abiding emotion.Going to an amusement park or ball game, watching a movie or television, are fun activities that help us relax, temporarily forget our problems and maybe even l

22、augh. But they do not bring happiness, because their positive effects end when the fun ends.I have often thought that if Hollywood stars have a role to play, it is to teach us that happiness has nothing to do with fun. These rich, beautiful individual have constant accessto glamorous parties, fancy

23、cars, expensive homes, everything that spells “happiness”. But in memoir after memoir, celebrities reveal that unhappiness hidden beneath all their fun: depression, alcoholism, drug addiction, broken marriages, troubled children and profound loneliness.Ask a bachelor why he resists marriage even tho

24、ugh he finds dating to be less and less satisfying. If hes honest, he will tell you that he is afraid of making a commitment. For commitment is in fact quite painful. The single life is filled with fun, adventure and excitement. Marriage has such moments, but they are not its most distinguishing fea

25、tures.Similarly, couples that choose not to have children are deciding in favor of painless fun over painful happiness. They can dine out whenever they want and sleep as late as they want. Couples with babies are lucky to get a whole night s sleep or a three-day vacation. I dont know any parent who

26、would choose the word fun to describe raising children. However, they all feel blessed to have children.Understanding and accepting that true happiness has nothing to do with fun is one of the most liberating realizations we can ever come to. It liberates time: now we can devote more hours to activi

27、ties that can genuinely increase our happiness. It liberates money: buying that new car or those fancy clothes that will do nothing to increase our happiness now seems pointless. And it liberates us from envy: we nowunderstand that all those rich and glamorous people we were so sure are happy becaus

Research in this weeks Nature s

32、hows that while factor 50 reduces the number of melanomas （黑瘤）and delays their occurrence, it cant 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.

33、 Melanomas are more common if you have periodic intense exposure to the sun. Other skin cancers are increasingly likely with long-term exposure.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 canc

34、er. A 2011 Australian study of 1,621 people found that people randomly selected to apply 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 didnt have the cancer, found that using sunscreen routinely,

35、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 its not entirel

36、y reliable. But it seems reasonableto think sunscreengives people a false sense of security in the sun.Many people also dont 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

37、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, i

38、t would be best for us, too, to slip on a shirt, slop on （抹上） sunscreen and slap on a hat.12. What does the research in Nature say about a high-factor sunscreen?A. It is ineffective in preventing melanomas.B. It is ineffective in case of intense sunlight.C. It is ineffective with long-term exposure.

39、D. It is ineffective for people with fair skin.13. 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 wome

40、n more harm than good.D. Daily application of sunscreen helps reduce the incidence of melanomas.14. 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 dir

41、ect observation of the subjects.D. It confirms the results of the first Australian study.15. 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
