First Test

I. Read the article and answer the questions.

Lipstick has a long history. Ancient Egyptians used to make
red paint from a bug that is like a small, red ant. The bug was
crushed and mixed with things like fish scales and lead. People
used this red substance to create a color of red on their lips.
They wore it to show social status. However, it was not very
healthy. Even Queen Elizabeth 1 is believed to have died from
lead poisoning. She put on a lot of lipstick, and possibly it was
poisonous. In ancient Greece lipstick was about flirting and
sexiness, and Queen Victoria said it was “impolite” at the end of
the 19th century. In the 1920s, lipstick was part of a new culture
of beauty. Women were exploring beauty and figuring out how
to use makeup and lipstick correctly. During the Second World
War, wearing lipstick became a symbol of freedom and
independence.
In Hollywood, in the 1950s, movie stars such as Marilyn
Monroe, wore red lipsticks. Today, lipstick comes in many
different forms. Some forms are liquid, some are like a crayon,
some are like a pencil. And, as communities emerge from
lockdown, sales are booming. “Putting on lipstick again will be
a symbol of returning to life” said former L’Oréal chief
executive Jean-Paul Agon recently. And importantly, lipstick is
now made from chemicals that are safe for you.
