PASSAGE 2: Reаd this pаssаge tо answer questiоns 13-17. Sunscreen [A] Frоm broad-brimmed hats to UV-blocking sunglasses, people are always looking for ways to protect themselves from too much sun. A little bit of sun exposure is necessary for our health, but too much can lead to deadly cancer. So how much is too much? A new product on the market, L'Oreal's UV Sense, has been designed to help answer this question. [B] L'Oreal's UV Sense is a skin sensor that detects UV rays. It is considered preventative "skintech" - a device worn on the skin to help prevent health risks, such as skin cancer. It does not block the sun physically, like sunscreen does, but it helps its wearer know how much UV light he or she is exposed to. [C] The sensor is housed in a small sticker that can fit on a person's thumbnail. Style-conscious wearers can choose from over 50 sticker designs. They place the sticker on a pair of favorite sunglasses, a watch, or anywhere else that will receive direct sunlight. As the wearer walks to the mail box, lies out on the beach, or sits in rush-hour traffic, the device collects data on how much sun the wearer is being exposed to. The device delivers this data to the wearer's smartphone, and alerts him or her when the level of UV rays is dangerously high. This information prompts the wearer to seek shade or apply more sunscreen. [D] This product differs from other wearable devices in that it is meant to be used for a short period of time until wearers learn which situations cause them to get the most UV rays. Wearers use the sticker for about two weeks and then disposes of it. The expectation is that wearers will become more aware of their sun exposure and change their habits or lifestyle accordingly. This means consumers can benefit from an inexpensive product, since longer-lasting ones cost hundreds to thousands of dollars. [E] So why would a cosmetic company like L'Oreal invest in technology that consumers will only use once or twice? The cosmetic giant understands that wearable devices are the latest trend on the market. They also understand how concerned consumers are about the rise of skin cancer. In response to their market research, L'Oreal wants to take the lead before other skincare companies develop similar products. The quest for developing preventative skintech has just begun and will most likely never end. QUESTION: What's the answer to the question in last paragraph: "So why would a cosmetic company like L'Oreal invest in technology that consumers will only use once or twice?"
Giddy-up, cоwbоys аnd girls! In the Sоuthwest during eаrly hаlf of the 1800s, cows were only worth 2 or 3 dollars a piece. They roamed wild, grazed off of the open range, and were abundant. Midway through the century though, railroads were built and the nation was connected. People in the Southwest could suddenly ship cows in freight trains to the Northeast. The Yankees there had a growing taste for beef and were willing to pay for it. Out of the blue, the same cows that were once worth a couple of bucks were now worth between twenty and forty dollars each. The only problem was that they had to get these cows to the train station. A new profession emerged from this. It became pretty lucrative to wrangle up a drove of cattle and herd them to the nearest train town. Of course it was dangerous too. Cowboys were threatened at every turn. They faced cattle rustlers, stampedes and extreme weather. But they kept pushing those steers to the train station. By the turn of the century, barbed wire killed the open range. Some may say the cowboy, too, was killed by barbed wire. Maybe, but it was the train that birthed them. QUESTION: Which belongs in a summary of the text? The Yankees lived in the Northeast, far from the Southwest. Trains allowed cowboys to ship cattle across the country. Cowboys fought with cattle rustlers to protect their herds. Cows used to graze on the open range. Which DOES NOT BELONG in a summary of the text? Trains brought cows to the East. Easterners paid high prices for beef. Cowboys brought cows to train stations. Facing extreme weather was one of the greatest risks of being a cowboy. Which best describes that MAIN IDEA of the text? Cowboys robbed trains and stole easy money from passengers. Cowboys lived a very dangerous life but made a lot of money. Barbed wire ended the open range and the cowboy lifestyle. Trains helped to grow the beef market and create cowboys.
