If you【D1】______smooth skin that glows with youth, the chances are that at some point you will have heard the exhortation to drink lots of water in order to【D2】______those evil toxins and keep your skin healthy. The exact amount people suggest varies. US-based advice【D3】______eight glasses a day, while in hotter climates people are advised to drink more to【D4】______higher rates of sweating. But regardless of the exact volume of water suggested, the principle behind the advice remains the same—taking extra water on board will keep your skin hydrated. In other words, water acts like a moisturiser, but from the inside out. This is such a common idea you might be surprised at the【D5】______to back up. You might expect there to be countless studies where people are【D6】______two groups, one assigned to sip water all day, the other to drink a normal amount. Then the smoothness of the skin could be【D7】______a month or so later to establish whether sipping more led to smoother skin. In fact such studies are rare, partly because water can't be patented, so it is hard to find anyone to fund such research when there will be no new【D8】______or cosmetic to sell that could repay the costs. A review by the dermatologist Ronni Wolf at the Kaplan Medical Centre in Israel found just one study looking at the effect of long-term water intake on the skin. But the results were 【D9】______. After four weeks, the group who drank extra mineral water showed a decrease in skin density, which some believe suggests the skin is retaining more moisture, while those who drank tap water showed an increase in skin density. But regardless of the type of water they drank, it made no difference to their【D10】______or to the smoothness of their skin.

One of the questions coming into focus as we face growing scarcity of resources in the world is how to divide limited resources among countries. In the international development【C1】com______, the coronal wisdom has been that the billion people living in poor countries could never expect to【C2】r______the standard of living that most of the people in North America enjoy, simply because the world does not contain enough iron ore, protein, petroleum, and so on. At the same time, we in the United States have continued to pursue super-affluence as though there were no limits【C3】______ how much we could consume. We【C4】m______ only 6 percent of the world's people: yet we consume one third of the world's resources. As long as the resources we consumed each year came primarily from【C5】w______our own boundaries, this was largely an internal matter. But as our resources come more and more from the outside world, we will no longer be able to think in【C6】______of "our" resources and "their" resources , but only of【C7】c______resources. As Americans consume such a(n)【C8】______(proportion)share of the world's resources, we have to question whether or not we can continue our pursuit of super-affluence in a world of【C9】______(scarce). We are now reaching the point at which we must carefully examine the presumed link between our level of well-being and the level of material goods consumed. If you have only one crust of bread and get another crust of bread, your well-being is greatly enhanced. But if you have a loaf of bread, then an additional crust of bread doesn't make【C10】d______. In the eyes of most of the world today, Americans have their loaf of bread and are asking for still more. The prospect of a scarcity of, and competition in, the world's resources requires that we re-examine the way in which we relate to the rest of the world.
