The women reportedly head to the Sam Ka Village beach every evening and take off their shoes before setting their phone timers and stand to stare at the sunset—some using an umbrella to protect their skin. The concept of “sun eating” is about consuming the suns solar energy instead of food and they believe by doing so it can reduce the bodys needs. Some of the women choose to wear pinhole glasses to limit the UV rays getting to their eyes and causing permanent damage. Some of the sun-gazers stress they are doing it for health reasons，not weight loss.“We practice sun-gazing as a substitute for eating.Some of us who have finished the practice now eat less，and others dont have to eat at all，” one woman said.She said they start by looking at the sun for up to 10 seconds on the first day，adding 10 seconds every day until they reach 44 minutes by the ninth month of practice. Hou Xiangjun，a skin specialist，is concerned about the rising trend，saying the high UV degree and water reflection are leading to far too much UV light absorption.“Even if painted with sunscreen(防晒霜) they can only stop five to six percent of the damage；an umbrella or a cap can only take 10-20 percent and long exposure will increase the risk of serious skin cancer，” she said.Eye experts are also concerned that it will cause some eye diseases. 【语篇解读】　本文讲述了一些香港女性的一种新的“健康”趋势。她们凝视太阳以减少对食物的需要，并达到改善视力和提高睡眠质量的效果。 1．Some women in Hong Kong become “sun-gazers” because they believe it can make them ． A．prettier B．eat less C．sleep longer D．use phones less B　[细节理解题。根据第一段中的“it will replace their needs for food and even improve their vision and sleep quality”和第三段的内容可知，她们认为凝视太阳可以让她们吃得更少、改善视力、提高睡眠质量。故选B。]
