  Read these two advertisements, and then answer the questions.

  When you stretch out in the sun you can do one of three things.

  You can use no sun tan oil. You can use an ordinary sun tan oil. Or you can use Bergasol.

  If you don't use any sun tan oil at all when you're in sun that is stronger than you're used to, 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 depends on the“protection factor(系数)number”on the bottle.

  Some of these oils block out so many of the sun's rays you can stay in the sun all day without burning--but you won't go very brown, either.

  Bergasol will protect your skin like an ordinary sun tan oil. But Bergasol oil also has a tan accelerator(加速剂) which comes from the oil of the Bergamot fruit.

  It speeds up the rate at which the sun activates(激活) the skin cells that produce melanin.

  And it is melanin which gives the skin its brown colour.

  So when you use Bergasol sun tan oil you go brown faster, and as the days pass the difference will become more and 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.

  Protection

  Many people imagine that“cover-up”means you don't get a tan. Nothing to show for your holiday. What a shame.

  Not so. With“cover up”, you can get brown if you want to. The point of cover-up is to protect your skin from the harmful rays of the sun--the ones which, according to the experts, make your skin look older.

  That's what Solex Cover-up is all about--protection for your skin. It has a Sun Protection Factor of 8, which makes it suitable for anyone.
