Since my family were not going to be helpful about my taking a cooking job, I decided I  1  look for one all by myself and   2   them about it till I'd get one. I had seen an agency advertised   3   a local paper, so   4  there was no one about to say “ Where are you going? ”, I rushed out of the house   5  it. I was widely   6   and was nervous as if I   7  on the stage. Finding the place quite easily, I tore up three flights of stairs, and swung breathlessly  8   a door which said “ Enter without knocking, if you   9  . ”　　

The simple atmosphere of the office   10  me, and I sat carefully down on the edge of a chair. The woman at the desk   11  looked at me for a while through her   12  , and I was about to move my feet   13  I realized that she was questioning me in a low voice. I answered softly and I started to feel   14  helpless.

She made   15  to me in a way that she wondered   16  I was looking for this sort of job．I felt even more helpless when she told me that it   17  difficult to get a job without   18  or reference. Then I heard her say, “  19  , I've got someone in the office at   20   moment who might suit. ”

A healthy dose of sunshine may be the secret to staying young, British scientists have disclosed.

Vitamin D is produced naturally by the skin in response to sunlight and may help to slow the ageing process and protect against heart disease, according to the study.

Researchers from King's College London studied 2,160 women aged between 18 and 79, looking at their telomeres - a biological marker of ageing found in DNA．As people get older, their telomeres get shorter and they are easy to have illnesses.

But the study found women with high levels of vitamin D had comparatively longer telomeres - a sign of being biologically younger and healthier.

The study suggests vitamin D may help to slow down the ageing process of DNA, and therefore the ageing process as a whole.

Lead researcher Dr Brent Richards said: "These results are exciting because they prove for the first time that people who have higher levels of vitamin D may age more slowly than people with lower levels of vitamin D．

"This could help to explain how vitamin D has a protective effect on many ageing related diseases, such as heart disease and cancer."

He said further studies are required to confirm the findings.

Professor Tim Spector, head of KCL's twin research unit, and a co-author of the report, added: "Although it might sound absurd(荒谬的), it's possible that the same sunshine which may increase our risk of skin cancer may also have a healthy effect on the general ageing process."

Vitamin D made by the action of sunlight on the skin accounts for 90 per cent of the body's supply, but lower levels can also be obtained through food such as fish, eggs and breakfast cereals.

Other studies have suggested the vitamin plays a key role in protecting against cancer and heart disease.
