She is popular in the States but not here 66. . The 47-year-old singer talks about the new album Symphony that came out of a “very dark time”, including her decision to give up trying to have children. “People have suggested I could adopt,” Brightman says. “But work is central to my life now.

Tanning takes place when UV rays from the sun cause the production of a pigment called melanin （黑色素）in the skin. Rather than being a sign of good health, getting a tan through sunbathing actually means that your skin has been damaged and is trying to protect itself. UV light is an invisible light that is always present in varying degrees. To help people become aware of the risks, scientists have produced a UV index, which is measured from zero to ten plus. The higher the number on the index, the greater the amount of exposure you will have to UV radiation. It is necessary to be careful in the sun on days with a high UV index. If you stay in the sun too long, you will burn and peel, and that’s when the trouble starts.But thousands of people in Britain develop skin cancer each year because of their enduring love affair with the sun. In a survey among people who are between fifteen to twenty-four years old, one in four said that, if the weather was sunny at the weekend, they would sunbathe non-stop. Almost all of them thought that exposing themselves to the sun for only two days a week was safe. One in seven of the people questioned said that they would sunbathe without any sunscreen or other protection. People have to realize that there is no such thing as a “safe tan”.(Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in NOT MORE THAN 12 words.)70.What can UV rays of the sun cause?____________________________________________________________________.71. The UV index is designed to _____________________________________________.72. When a person ________________________________________________ the trouble starts.第Ⅱ卷I.
