When you stretch out in the sun you can do one of the three things:you can use no sun tan oil an ordinary sun tan oil；or Bergasol. If you don't use any sun tan oil when you're in the sun,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 protection depends on the“protection-factor number”on the bottle. Some oils block out so many of the sun’s rays and you can stay in the sun allday without burning—but you won't go very brown. either. Bergasol will protect your skin like an ordinary sun tan oil. It also has a tan accelerator that speeds up the rate at which the sun activates the skin cells that produce melanin（黑色素）. It is melanin that gives the skin its brown colour.Bergasol enables you to go brown faster, and as the days pass the difference will become 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.

In 1542, Francisco de Orellana led the first European voyage down the Amazon River. During this voyage the explorers met a lot of resistance （抵抗）from the local Indians. In one particular tribe the women fighters were so fierce that they drove their male fighters in front of them with spears. Thus the river was named after the famous women fighters of the ancient Greek stories, the Amazons.
This voyage also started our wonder of the greatest river and the largest area of rainforest in the world. About 20% of all fresh water carried to the oceans is from the Amazon River. The Amazon basin is the world's largest, about the size of Europe. The river is a product of the rainy season, which brings huge rains every summer. This also produces a large area of rainforest, which supports the largest number of diverse plants and animals of any area in the world.
The Amazon rainforest is also important when it comes to the future of global warming, as it is a huge natural store of carbon. Up until recently it was thought that the Amazon had fully grown and thus could not take up any more CO2. Experiments have shown this could be wrong and that the Amazon rainforest might be sucking up an additional five tons of CO2 from the atmosphere per hectare （公顷） per year. This is because plants react favorably to increased CO2 ； because it is the raw material for photosynthesis （光合作用）,the more of it the better. So having more CO2 in the atmosphere acts like a fertilizer, stimulating plant growth. Because of the size of the Amazon rainforest, it seems that presently it is taking up a large percentage of our CO2 pollution in the atmosphere, about 75% of the world's car pollution.

3. Why is CO2 compared to a fertilizer in Para. 3?

AThey both absorb light.

BThey both store heat.

CThey both help plants grow.

DThey both cause global warming.

Social customs and ways of behaving change.Things which were considered impolite many years ago are now acceptable.Just a few years ago, it was considered impolite behaviour for a man to smoke on the street.No man who thought of himself as being a gentleman would make a fool of himself by smoking when a lady was in a room.
Customs are also different from country to country.Does a man walk on the left or the right of a woman in your country? Or doesn't it matter? What about table manner? Should you use both hands when you are eating?
The Americans and the British not only speak the same language but also share a large number of social customs.For example, in both America and England people shake hands when they meet each other for the first time.Also, most Englishmen will open a door for a woman or offer their seat to a woman, and so will most Americans.Promptness is important both in England and in America.That is, if a dinner invitation is for 7 o'clock, the dinner guest either arrives close to that time or calls up to explain his delay.
The important thing to remember about social customs is not to do anything that might make other people feel uncomfortable -- especially if they are your guests.There is an old story about a man who gave a dinner party.When the food was served, one of the guests started to eat his peas with a knife.The other guests were amused or shocked, but the host calmly picked up his knife and began eating in the same way.It would have been bad manners to make his guest feel foolish or uncomfortable.
