24、at Mt. Sinai Hospital in New York City. “The suns ultraviolet rays (紫外线) help some skin cells to produce more melanin (黑色素) in the skin.”Contrary to (与相反) popular belief, nobody is born with freckles, which generally dont pop_up until adolescence. That is, some young people start to have freckles wh

25、en they are developing into adults.“But freckles often run in the family， especially in families that have fair skin，” says Jessica Wu, MD, a Los Angelesbased doctor. “People with fair skin and red or blond hair may have the same skin cells as their parents. Such skin cells are more sensitive (敏感的)

26、to ultraviolet rays, so they produce more melanin in those spots.”The spots themselves are nothing to fear, but those who have freckles are often fairskinned as well, which in turn makes them more likely to get skin cancer, warns Dr. Howard Murad, who is known as “the Father of Internal Skincare”Fre

27、ckles can be lightened with proper treatment, and new freckles often fade on their own. As with many things in life, prevention is key. “Wear sunscreen every day as part of your lifestyle, like brushing your teeth，” says Zeichner.

31、three top skin doctors.DWith the increasing development of technology, we now have the ability to get much information from foreign media sources (媒体资源)Because we can learn much about events happening in other countries from the media, such as magazines and newspapers, many people may think that rea

32、ding magazines and newspapers is the best way to learn about a foreign country. However, I believe that only reading magazines and newspapers as a way of learning about a foreign country has several limitations (限制)We cannot deny that magazines and newspapers actually present some valuable informati

33、on about foreign countries. However, the information that they present is often onesided, so that readers can only learn about one opinion on an event happening in a foreign country. Also, the words and pictures in magazines and newspapers may not be true. If a government wants to hide some facts, i

34、t may force the media to tell lies to its readers, and thus the information that readers receive may not be true.I think that the best way to learn about a foreign country is to travel or live there for a while. By traveling or living in a country, you can see things that do not appear in magazines

35、and newspapers, and learn about the local political situation, state of the economy, and the culture. You can get more information about a country by talking directly with local people about the overall situation, and can truly understand the local culture by living with them for a while. But if you
