In the Name of Beauty
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.

Question 36 – 40: Read the passage carefully.
Basic to any understanding of Canada in the 20 years after the Second World War is the country's
impressive population growth. For every three Canadians in 1945, there were over five in 1966. In September
1966 Canada's population passed the 20 million mark. Most of these surging growth came from natural
increase. The depression of the 1930s and the war had held back marriages, and the catching-up process
began after 1945.
After the peak year of 1957, the birth rate in Canada began to decline. It continued falling until 1966 it
stood at the lowest level in 25 years. Partly this decline reflected the low level of births during the depression
and the war, but it was also caused by changes in Canadian society. Young people were staying at school
longer; more women were working; young married couples were buying automobiles or houses before
starting families; rising living standards were cutting down the size of families.
It appeared that Canada was once more falling in step with the trend toward smaller families that had
occurred all through the Western world since the time of the Industrial Revolution. Although the growth in
Canada's population had slowed down by 1966 (the increase in the first half of the 1960s was only nine
percent), another large population wave was coming over the horizon. It would be composed of the children
of the children who were born during the period of the high birth rate prior to 1957.
Choose an option (A, B, C or D) that best answers each question.

A. families were larger B. population statistics were unreliable

1. Books which give instructions on how to do things are very popular in the United States today. Thousands
of these How-to books are useful. In fact, there are about four thousand books with titles that begin with the
words "How to". One book may tell you how to earn more money. Another may tell you how to save or
spend it and another may explain how to give your money away.
2. Many How-to books give advice on careers. They tell you how to choose a career and how to succeed in it.
If you fail, however, you can buy the book "How to Turn Failure into Success”. If you would like to become
very rich, you can buy the book "How to Make a Millionaire". If you never make any money at all, you may
need a book called “How to Live on Nothing".
3. One of the most popular types of books is one that helps you with personal problems. If you want to have
a better love of life, you can read "How to Succeed in Love every Minute of Your Life". If you are tired of
books on happiness, you may prefer books which give step-by-step instructions on how to redecorate or
enlarge a house.
