Cosmetics have been used throughout history. The ancient Greeks, the Egyptians, and the Romans all
used various kinds of makeup. Some of these cosmetics were used to improve one’s appearance. Others
were used to protect one’s skin. However, in some cases, things used for makeup were dangerous or even
deadly!
Skin care treatments including perfumes, lotions, and cosmetic masks were used in ancient Egypt by rich
and poor alike. Egyptians also developed some of the earliest sunscreens. They used oils and creams for
protection against the sun and dry winds. Egyptians, as well as other ancient cultures, used various
powders on their skin for beauty as well. Egyptians used black kohl around their eyes. Romans put white
chalk on their faces. And Indians painted red henna on their bodies.
Most of the ancient cosmetics were harmless. However, in the name of beauty, some people applied
dangerous chemicals and poisons to their skin. During the Italian Renaissance, women wore white powder
made of lead on their faces. Of course, doctors today know lead is like a poison for our bodies. Also
around the time of the Renaissance, women in Italy put drops of belladonna in their eyes. These
belladonna drops were made from a plant whose poison affects the nerves in the body. By putting
belladonna drops in her eyes, a woman’s pupils would become very large. People thought this made
women more beautiful. Actually, this is where the plant’s name comes from. In Italian, belladonna means
“beautiful woman.”
When Elizabeth I was queen in the late 1500s, some rather dangerous cosmetics were also being used by
women in England. In particular, women were using special hair dye made with lead and sulphur. The
dye was designed to give people red hair, the same color as the queen’s hair, but over time, the dye made
people’s hair fall out. Finally, women using this dye ended up bald, like the queen, and had to wear wigs.
(Adapted from Reading Challenge 2 - Casey Malarcher & Andrea Janzen)

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to
indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 35 to 42
The preservation of embryos and juveniles is rare occurrence in the fossil record. The tiny, delicate
skeletons are usually scattered by scavengers or destroyed by weathering before they can be fossilized.
Ichthyosaurs had a higher chance of being preserved than did terrestrial creatures because, as marine
animals, they tended to live in environments less subject to erosion. Still, their fossilization required a
suite of factors: a slow rate of decay of soft tissues, little scavenging by other animals, a lack if swift
currents and waves to jumble and carry away small bones, and fairly rapid burial. Given these factors,
some areas have become a treasury of well-preserved ichthyosaur fossils.
The deposits at Holzmaden, Germany, present an interesting case for analysis. The ichthyosaur
remains are found in black, bituminous marine shales deposited about 190 million years ago. Over the
years, thousands of specimens of marine reptiles, fish, and invertebrates have been recovered from these
rocks. The quality of preservation is outstanding, but what is even more impressive is the number of
ichthyosaur fossils containing preserved embryos. Ichthyosaurs with embryos have been reported from 6
different levels of the shale in a small area around Holzmaden, suggesting that a specific site was used by
large numbers of ichthyosaurs repeatedly over time. The embryos are quite advanced in their physical
development; their paddles, for example, are already well formed. One specimen is even preserved in the
birth canal. In addition, the shale contains the remains of many newborns that are between 20 and 30
inches long.
Why are there so many pregnant females and young at Holzmaden when they are so rare elsewhere?
The quality of preservation is almost unmatched, and quarry operations factors do not account for the
interesting question of how there came to be such a concentration of pregnant ichthyosaurs in a particular
place very close to their time of giving birth.
(Adapted from Reading TOEFL 1)
Question 35. The passage supports which of the following conclusions?
A. Some species of ichthyosaurs decayed more rapidly than other species.
B. Ichthyosaur newborns are smaller than other newborn marine reptiles.
C. Ichthyosaurs were more advanced than terrestrial creatures.
D. Ichthyosaurs may have gathered at Holzmaden to give birth.
Question 36. The word "they" in line2 refers to
A. skeletons B. scavengers C. creatures D. environments
Question 37. All of the following are mentioned as factors that encourage fossilization EXCEPT the
_______
A. speed of burial B. conditions of the water
C. rate at which soft tissues decay D. cause of death of the animal.
