Read the passage and choose the best heading in the box for each paragraph. There are three extra ones that should not be used.

A. How to maximize the SPF of suncreens

B. Summer sport and skin protection

C. How the various types of radiation differ?

D. Sunscreens: the higher the SPF the better?

E. What is ultraviolet radiation?

F. Other ways to protect yourself

G. What are the first signs of skin cancer?

H. A short break in the sun won’t hurt, will it? 

1.___________

Sunshine contains three different bans of ultraviolet radiation: UVA, UVB and UVC. Although UVC is the most dangerous, because it is a shorter-wavelength radiation than UVA and UVB, it is screened out by the Earth’s ozone layer. UVA used to be thought less dangerous than UVB, but it is now known that both bands can cause skin cancer. It is UVB which causes sunburn. However, both UVA and UVB can age the skin prematurely.

2.___________

Levels of UV rays can vary. A two-week holiday in the Mediterranean will expose you to the same amount of sun as you would get in a year in Britain. Short periods of intense exposure to the sun are thought to be more risky than regular daily exposure, particularly if you have fairer skin. However, even if you have darker skin tones you will burn eventually. You can find out the daily UV rate by watching the solar UV index which has recently been introduced on national weather forecasts across Europe.

3.___________

The ideal sunscreen to use is an SPF15. This means a sunscreen which gives you fifteen times more protection that you would have normally. An SPF15 sunscreen will absorb proportionally equal amounts of UVA and UVB, and will give you good protection if you are sensible about your exposure. Sunscreens higher than SPF15 tend to lose their balanced effect: the chemicals in an SPF30, for example, will not block UVA rays as effectively as UVB. The other danger with high SPFs is that people will stay in the sun longer because they think are better protected. Higher SPFs do not give proportionately greater protection. An SPF15 gives 93 percent protection, for example, while an SPF34 gives 97 percent protection.

4.____________

Only UVA rays can pass through glass, so you won’t get sunburnt sitting by a window, while you can still enjoy the warmth of the sun. Be careful when sitting in the shade, however. You can still get burnt because you will be exposed to rays bouncing off reflective surfaces nearby. This is particularly the case near water. Not all clothing offers effective protection, either. If you can see the light through a piece of clothing when you hold it up, it will not offer much of a barrier to UV rays.

5.____________

You should keep an eye out for any moles or dark spots on the skin that change in size, shape, or color, become bigger, itchy or inflamed, or bleed. All these may be symptoms of skin cancer and should be checked by a doctor. Once a mole has been identified as a potential melanoma, it is removed under local anaesthetic and sent for examination. Most turn out to be harmless. Of the three forms of skin cancer the two most common varieties – basal cell and squamous cell carcinomas are easily treatable and rarely fatal, and even melanomas can be treated effectively if caught in time.

Read the following passages and choose the best answer to each question.

Scientists do not yet thoroughly understand just how the body of an individual becomes sensitive to a substance that is harmless or even wholesome for the average person. Milk, wheat, and egg, for example, rank among the most healthful and widely used foods. Yet these foods can cause persons sensitive to them to suffer greatly. At first, the body of the individual is not harmed by coming into contact with the substance. After a varying interval of time, usually longer than a few weeks, the body becomes sensitive to it, and an allergy has begun to develop. Sometimes it's hard to figure out if you have a food allergy, since it can show up so many different ways. Your symptoms could be caused by many other problems. You may have rashes, hives, joint pains mimicking arthritis, headaches, irritability, or depression. The most common food allergies are to milk, eggs, seafood, wheat, nuts, seeds, chocolate, oranges, and tomatoes. Many of these allergies will not develop if these foods are not fed to an infant until her or his intestines mature at around seven months. Breast milk also tends to be protective. Migraines can be set off by foods containing tyramine, phenathylamine, monosodium glutamate, or sodium nitrate. Common foods which contain these are chocolate, aged cheeses, sour cream, red wine, pickled herring, chicken livers, avocados, ripe bananas, cured meats, many Oriental and prepared foods (read the labels!). Some people have been successful in treating their migraines with supplements of B-vitamins, particularly B6 and niacin. Children who are hyperactive may benefit from eliminating food additives, especially colorings, and foods high in salicylates from their diets. A few of these are almonds, green peppers, peaches, tea, grapes. This is the diet made popular by Benjamin Feingold, who has written the book Why your Child is Hyperactive. Other researchers have had mixed results when testing whether the diet is effective.
