Stay out of the Sun to Look Young
Forget drinking countless glass of water or getting your beauty sleep. The cret of looking young is simply to stay out of the sun. A study of hundreds of women has revealed that tho who avoided the sun’s rays looked up to 20 years younger than they actually are.
However, other suppod rules for a youthful complexion (膚色), from drinking lots of water to sleeping well and exercising regularly, failed to 41

comes from a study of 231 women of all ages who were quizzed about their lives, including whether they were sun-lovers. When rearchers from Massachutts General Hospital in the US – commissioned by skincare firm Olay – guesd how old the women were, they found tho who 44
in the sun tended to have aged more slowly. A lucky four had so few wrinkles and 45
spots, and such a fresh complexion, that they appeared to be a full two decades younger than they really were.

（A ） Mickey Mou and Shrek are just a couple of the American animated (動畫的) characters loved
the world over. And they are examples of the evolution of animation, which has brought unique new life to the film industry.
Among the first American animated films was Light of the Moon , a silent movie produced in 1911 using silhouette (剪影) animation, where the characters are reprented only as black silhouettes. The real breakthrough for American animation came with Steamboat Willie , created by Walt Disney and relead in 1928. It was the first animated film to be accompanied by sound, and its main star, Mickey Mou, became one of the most loveable and enduring animated characters ever created. Disney also created the first American full-length animated film, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs . Relead in 1937, it enjoyed worldwide box-office success.
Disney’s extremely careful attention to high-quality detail in the thousands of hand-painted drawings required at that time to make an animated film elevated this film technique to the level of a rious art form.
