>Lip balms can't save lips
研究:唇膏加劇嘴唇脫水
You need your lips to talk, take duck-face selfies and kiss your loved ones. That's why dry, chapped lips can not only be itchy and painful, they can sometimes be downright embarrassing. But repeatedly applying lip balms and products may not help your case. Lip balms provide only temporary comfort, and some types can make scaly lips even drier. That's because, in part, when the thin film of moisture from the lip balm evaporates, it dehydrates your lips even more. "It just starts a vicious cycle," Dr Leah Jacob, an assistant professor of dermatology at Tulane University, said. Some lip balms contain ingredients that can be irritating or drying. Menthol, salicylic acid, cinnamic aldehyde and peppermint flavors are all culprits, Jacob said. Jacob recommends using a thick, emollient lip balm or ointment with SPF in it to truly protect your lips. Glycerin or plain old petroleum jelly are good ingredients to look for, she noted.
與人交談、嘟嘴自拍、親吻愛的人，都離不開雙唇。嘴唇干裂除了發(fā)癢和生疼，有時(shí)還會讓人陷入特別尷尬的境地。但是，頻繁涂抹潤唇膏和相關(guān)產(chǎn)品往往無濟(jì)于事。潤唇膏只能帶來暫時(shí)的舒緩，有些唇膏甚至?xí)岄_裂起皮的嘴唇更加干燥。部分原因是，潤唇膏的水薄膜蒸發(fā)后會加劇嘴唇脫水。杜蘭大學(xué)皮膚病學(xué)助理教授利亞?雅各布博士稱"一個(gè)惡性循環(huán)就這樣開始了"。一些潤唇膏含有刺激或干燥成分。薄荷醇、水楊酸、肉桂醛和胡椒薄荷香料都是元兇。雅各布推薦膏體較厚、滋潤效果好、且?guī)PF防曬系數(shù)的潤唇膏，以真正保護(hù)唇部。她指出，甘油或者普通的老凡士林油都是不錯(cuò)的選擇。

>Classic book comes to screen
'百年孤獨(dú)'將拍成電視劇
For the first time in its history, Gabriel Garcia Marquez's seminal novel "One Hundred Years of Solitude" will be adapted for the screen. The author's family is allowing Netflix to produce a Spanish-language series based on the classic book, which was first published in 1967. Marquez's sons Rodrigo Garcia and Gonzalo Garcia Barcha will be executive producers, and the series will be set in and filmed mainly in Colombia. "Our father refused to sell the film rights of the book during his lifetime, because he believed that it could not be made under the time constraints of a feature film, or that producing it in a language other than Spanish would not do it justice," said Rodrigo Garcia in a release. "But now, with the advent of Netflix, the situation has changed and the family believes it's time for the book to come to the screen," he said.

>Inexcusable habits revealed
英國人最煩的用餐習(xí)慣
A poll of 1,500 British adults revealed the 35 worst restaurant habits customers can exhibit when eating out. They include clicking your fingers to get the waiter's attention, letting your children run wild, and paying your exact share of the bill if you're splitting the check with others. Not leaving a tip for the wait staff, pouring white wine in a glass that still has some red wine in it and blowing your nose loudly into a napkin were also considered the very height of bad manners, the poll by software company Fourth revealed. More than one in 10 Brits admitted they have been embarrassed by their partner's behavior in a restaurant, while 10% have felt the need to apologize on behalf of their ill-mannered parents. Nearly a third have even been forced to apologize to staff because of one of their fellow diners' appalling etiquette, the poll found.
一項(xiàng)針對1500名英國成年人進(jìn)行的民意調(diào)查揭示了顧客外出就餐時(shí)會展現(xiàn)的35種最糟糕的餐廳用餐習(xí)慣；其中包括打響指引起服務(wù)員的注意，讓孩子瘋跑及與他人與他人平攤賬單時(shí)分毫不差地付自己那部分。軟件公司Fourth進(jìn)行的民調(diào)顯示，不給服務(wù)員小費(fèi)，把白葡萄酒倒進(jìn)仍剩有一些紅酒的杯子中，用餐巾紙很大聲地擤鼻涕也被視為極其不禮貌的行為。逾1/10的英國人表示，他們曾在餐廳里因伴侶的行為而感到尷尬，10%的人則認(rèn)為有必要為有失禮節(jié)的父母表達(dá)歉意。調(diào)查發(fā)現(xiàn)，近1/3的人甚至因?yàn)橐黄疬M(jìn)餐的人的糟糕禮節(jié)而被迫向工作人員道歉。
