correct answer to each of the questions from 36 to 42.
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 leadon 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.

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 43 to 50.
In 1992, a ship travelling from China to the US was hit by a strom in the middle of the Pacific
Ocean. Its cargo of containers was washed overboard and at least one of them split open. The
container held around 29,000 yellow plastic ducks as well as plastic frogs and turtles. The toys floated
out into the water and have been travelling across the oceans ever since.
It isn’t unusual for things from the ships to get lost in the sea. Every year, as many as 10,000
containers fall into the ocean, spilling out everything from sports shoes to plastic bricks. These objects
have already done harm to both our seas and our wildlife, and if the accidents don’t stop, the situation

will get worse. However, in the case of the floating ducks, something positive has happened.
Scientists know that direction in which water moves in our seas and oceans affects our climate. Dr.
Ebbesmeyer, a scientist in the US, realised that observing the ducks as they float around the world can
help us understand how ocean currents work. In order to collect information, he began to track the
ducks’ progress; predicting where they would go, and listening to reports of where they were found.
It seems that after travelling together for some time, the ducks went in different directions. Many
of them floated south to the shores of Indonesia, Australia and South America. Meanwhile, the rest
headed north into the Arctic Ocean, becoming trapped in ice until the winds and the movement of the
water sent them over 3,000 kms to the North Pole.
Today, although many ducks have been found washed up on different shores around the world,
thousands of the ducks are still floating. So, if you see a plastic toy, bleached and worn after so much
travelling, with the words “First Years’ printed on it, and you report your find, you will help towards
our understanding of the world’s climate.
