Sometimes successful health campaigns can have quite unexpected reactions.The years of warnings about skin cancer mean that Britons are happy to cover themselves in sunscreen or stay out of the sun altogether, but it also means that most of us are not getting enough vitamin D.

Scientists announced yesterday that Britons need to increase to three times the amount of vitamin D they get per day.They called on food producers to fortify(强化)their products with more of the vitamin and suggested people should consider taking supplements(补充物) to keep levels up.They also suggested getting out in the sun for short periods more often, but they warned against “sun bingeing”.

The government does not publish official advice on the amount of vitamin D people should take due to a lack of research, says Dr Birgit Teucher of the Institute for Food Research.But in the US, the government recommends 5 micrograms a day.By that count, Dr Birgit Teucher said that around 90% of Britons between 19 and 64 would be lacking in the vitamin because they only took around 3 micrograms a day.

Vitamin D is important for absorption of calcium(钙)by the body, which is needed for healthy teeth and bones.A lack of it can lead to serious diseases in both children and adults.The vitamin can be found in some foods but it can also be obtained from chemicals in the skin reacting to sunlight.Dr Barbara Boucher said adults should get 5 to 25 micrograms a day.Shortage of vitamin D may be linked to diseases such as muscle weakness, high blood pressure and rickets(佝偻病).

Dr Birgit Teucher gave several reasons for the lack among Britons.Increasing numbers of office-based jobs mean a lack of exposure to the sun; and the rise of becoming overweight means that vitamin D—which is fat soluble(可溶解的)一is increasingly stored in body fat, where it cannot be accessed readily.

Professor Brian Wharton of the Institute of Child Health said that children in particular needed to have enough vitamin D to prevent rickets.

Professor Graham Bentham, an environmental scientist at the University of East Anglia, added that babies who were only breast-fed probably need to take supplements in case their mother was vitamin D lacking.Those drinking milk were likely to be OK, thanks to the fortification of the drink.

The scientists called on food producers to fortify milk, bread and breakfast nutrient to enable people to get their daily amount of the vitamin.Prof Graham Bentham added that 30 minutes of sun exposure to the face and forearms between April and October would be sufficient.Outside these months, the sun is not strong enough in Britain for the body to produce its own vitamin D.

But Prof Graham Bentham warned against spending too long in the sun.“Sun bingeing is well known to be dangerous,” he said.“In any case, vitamin D transformation in the skin switches off after a while so short frequent amounts are better for vitamin D formation.”

Don’t be surprised if you see a group of people dancing or shouting on the square. They are a flash mob (快闪族). Confused by their name? Actually, a flash mob, organized with the help of the Internet or other digital communications networks, is a group of people who gather suddenly in a public place, do something unusual for a period of time, such as exchanging books, coming together to look at the sky, waving their hands and shouting something at the top of their lungs for 30 seconds, and then quickly disappear before the police can arrive.

Bill Wasik, senior editor of Harper’s Magazine, organized the first flash mob in Manhattan in May 2003 and the first successful flash mob gathered on June 3, 2003 at Macy’s department store involving 100 people gathering on Macy’s Department Store. Following this, about 200 people flooded the lobby of the Hyatt hotel, applauding in one voice for fifteen seconds, and next participants pretending to be tourists on a trip invaded a shoe shop in Soho. A later mob saw hundreds of people in Central Park making bird noises.

Wasik claimed that he created flash mobs as a social experiment designed to tease hipsters (追逐时尚的人), and highlight the cultural atmosphere of agreement and of being part of “the next big thing”. Many web logs, chat rooms and Web groups are devoted to the craze. Though flash mobs were originally regarded as useless, the concept has already developed for the benefit of political and social events. Flash mobbing takes advantage of the efficiency of communicating information on Websites and by email, and protesters can similarly use the “on and off” concept to be involved in political events. Such flash mob gatherings can sometimes shock or frighten people who are not aware of what is taking place. They also have enormous economic potential, such as using flash mobs to advertise a product.

The flash mob is now becoming more and more popular. People use it to do many things. For example, in 2009, hundreds of Michael Jackson’s fans took part in a flash mob to remember him, gathering outside the railway station in Liverpool, singing and dancing Michael’s famous song, beat it together. In another example, some people took part in a flash mob to warn people against negative words. Flash mobs give people from all walks of life an opportunity to come together to create a memory.

C. plan to go mountaineering on the first day of Horse Year

D. sit for days in front of the city hall for higher wages
