　　Read these two advertisements, and then answer the questions.

　　When you stretch out in the sun you can do one of three things.

　　You can use no sun tan oil. You can use an ordinary sun tan oil. Or you can use Bergasol.

　　If you don't use any sun tan oil at all when you're in sun that is stronger than you're used to, you will burn surprisingly quickly.

　　If you use an ordinary sun tan oil you will protect your skin to a lesser or greater degree. How much depends on the“protection factor(系数)number”on the bottle.

　　Some of these oils block out so many of the sun's rays you can stay in the sun all day without burning--but you won't go very brown, either.

　　Bergasol will protect your skin like an ordinary sun tan oil. But Bergasol oil also has a tan accelerator(加速剂) which comes from the oil of the Bergamot fruit.

　　It speeds up the rate at which the sun activates(激活) the skin cells that produce melanin.

　　And it is melanin which gives the skin its brown colour.

　　So when you use Bergasol sun tan oil you go brown faster, and as the days pass the difference will become more and more obvious.

　　Unfortunately this special formulation isn't cheap to prepare. So Bergasol is rather more expensive than ordinary sun tan oil.

　　However the price looks more attractive as you do.

　　Protection

　　Many people imagine that“cover-up”means you don't get a tan. Nothing to show for your holiday. What a shame.

　　Not so. With“cover up”, you can get brown if you want to. The point of cover-up is to protect your skin from the harmful rays of the sun--the ones which, according to the experts, make your skin look older.

　　That's what Solex Cover-up is all about--protection for your skin. It has a Sun Protection Factor of 8, which makes it suitable for anyone.

　　Find 0ut how it works for you by consulting(咨询)the Solex Sun Chart. On sale wherever Solex is.

　　With Solex Cover-up, you can tan as slowly as you like. As gently as you like. And with much less chance of peeling.

　　Your tan will look better. Your skin will stay young longer. Solex Cover-up.

Much meaning can be conveyed with our eyes, so it is often said that eyes can speak.

Do you have such kind of 　36 ? In a bus you may look at a 　37 , but not too long. And if he is 　38 that he is being stared at, he may feel 　39 .

The same is true in 　40 life. If you are looked at for more than 　41 ,you will look at yourself up and down, to see if there is 42 wrong with you. If nothing goes wrong, you will feel angry toward other’s 　43 at you that way.

Looking too long at someone may seem to be rude and 　44 . But things are different when it 45 to stare at the opposite sex. If a man glances at a woman for more than ten seconds and 　46 to avert (移开) his gaze, his intentions are 　47 , that is , he wishes to attract her attention, to make her understand that he is 　48　 her.

49 , the normal eye contact for two people 　50　 in a conversation is that the speaker will only look at the listener 　51 , in order to make sure that the listener does pay attention to what the former is speaking about, to tell him that he is attentive. If a speaker looks at you continuously when speaking, 　52 he tries to dominate(控制) you, you will feel embarrassing.

In fact, continuous eye contact is confined to 　53 only, who will enjoy looking at each other tenderly for a long time, to show affection that 　54 cannot express.

Evidently, eye contact should be done according to relationship between two people and the specific 　55 .

In the doorway of my home，I looked closely at my 23?year?old son，Daniel.In a few hours he would be flying to France to __1__ a different life.It was a transitional (过渡的) time in Daniel’s life.I wanted to __2__ him some words of significance.But nothing came from my lips，and this was not the __3__ time I had let such moments pass.

When Daniel was five，I took him to the bus stop on his first day of kindergarten.He asked，“What is it going to be like，Dad？Can I do it？” Then he walked __4__ the steps of the bus and disappeared inside.The bus drove away and I said nothing.A decade later，a similar __5__ played itself out.

I drove him to college.As I started to leave，I tried to think of something to say to give him __6__ and confidence as he started this new stage of life.Again，words __7__ me.

Now，as I stood before him，I thought of those __8__ opportunities.How many times have I let such moments __9__？I don’t find a quiet moment to tell him what he has __10__ to me.Or what he might __11__ to face in the years ahead.Maybe I thought it was not necessary to say anything.

What does it matter in the course of a lifetime if a father never tells a son what he really thinks of him？__12__ as I stood before Daniel，I knew that it did matter.My father and I loved each other.Yet I always __13__ never hearing him put his __14__ into words.Now I could feel my palms sweat and my throat tighten.Why is it so __15__ to tell a son something from the heart?

My mouth turned dry，and I knew I would be able to get out only a few words clearly.“Daniel，”I said，“if I could have picked，I would have picked you.” That’s all I could say.He hugged me.For a moment，the world __16__，and there were just Daniel and me.He was saying something，but tears misted my eyes，and I couldn’t understand what he was saying.All I was __17__ of was the stubble (短须) on his chin as his face pressed __18__ mine.What I had said to Daniel was __19__.It was nothing.And yet，it was __20__.

Most parents, I suppose, have had the experience of reading a bedtime story to their children.And they must have 1 how difficult it is to write a 2 children's book.Either the author has aimed too 　3 ., so that the children can't follow what is in his (or more often, her) story, 4 the story seems to be talking to the readers.

The best children's books are 5 　very difficult nor very simple, and satisfy both the 　6 who hears the story and the adult who 7 it.Unfortunately, there are in fact 　8 8 books like this, 9 the problem of finding the right bedtime story is not 　10 to solve.

This may be why many of books regarded as 　11 of children's literature were in fact written for 　12 .“Alice's Adventure in Wonderland”is perhaps the most 　13 of this.

Children, left for themselves, often 　14 the worst possible interest in literature.Just leave a child in bookshop or 　15 and he will 16 willingly choose the books written in an imaginative way, or have a look at most children's comics, full of the stories and jokes which are the 　17 of teachers and right-thinking parents.

Perhaps we parents should stop trying to brainwash childrensintos 18 our taste in literature.After all children and adults are so 　19 that we parents should not expect that they will enjoy the 　20 books.So I suppose we'll just have to compromise over that bedtime story.
