    Millions of women use cosmetics, often called "make-up". The cosmetics industry is one of the biggest
    in the world. Most large stores sell cosmetics, and there are always shops at airports selling them cheaply. The word "cosmetics "refers to anything that people put on their faces to make them look better. Lipstick,
    face powder and cream, and eye make-up are the most popular. Although more women than men use
    cosmetics, there are cosmetics for men as well as women.
    Some people even have cosmetic surgery to make their faces look different. They have the shape of
    their noses and eyes changed.
    The most widely used cosmetic is probably lipstick, as many women who do not wear any other
    make-up will often put on a little lipstick.
    Lipstick is made by mixing together different oils and colors. This mixture is then allowed to get hard
    and is cut into the shape of a small pencil. When a woman presses the lipstick to her lips, the end of it
    becomes soft, and some of it sticks to her lips, giving them extra color.
    Cosmetics were probably first used in India, but it was the Egyptians, six thousand years ago, who
    made the most use of them. Rich Egyptian women painted their eyes green and black. They used a red
    color to paint pretty designs on their fingernails, the palms of their hands and the soles of their feet.
    Pictures of Cleopatra always show her wearing a lot of make-up.
    The Romans also used cosmetics. They liked to make their skin very white and to paint their eyes.
    They also used a kind of lipstick.
    In England at one time, very rich women had baths in milk to make their skin beautiful. They also used
    a lot of sweet-smelling powder to stop people smelling their bodies, which were often very dirty because
    they did not wash very often or change their clothes.
    At one time, some cosmetics were not safe. They were bad for the skin and some of the lipsticks and
    powders that people used were even poisonous. Nowadays, people in the cosmetics industry take great
    care to make sure that everything they use is completely safe.

  • 日常生活类阅读

日常生活类阅读的概念:

日常生活这一话题主要涉及人们衣食住行等方面的活动。这一话题的选材主要针对人们日常的工作,生活以及学习情况。做这一类题时,最主要的是要把握好人物的活动内容,时间和地点。


日常生活类阅读题答题技巧:

【题型说明】
该类文章内容涉及到人们的言谈举止、生活习惯、饮食起居、服饰仪表、恋爱婚姻、消遣娱乐、节日起源、家庭生活等。文章篇幅短小,追根溯源,探索各项风俗的历史渊源,内容有趣。命题也以送分题为主,如事实细节题、语义转换题、词义猜测题和简单推理判断题等。虽然这类文章读起来感觉轻松,试题做起来比较顺手,但绝不能掉以轻心。因为稍不留神,就会丢分。   
【备考提醒】
为了保证较高准确率,建议同学们做好以下几点:   
1、保持正常的考试心态。笔者在教学中发现,越是容易的试题,同学们越是容易失分。为什么呢?因为在这种情况下,同学们极易产生麻痹思想,认为题目好做,就不引起高度重视,于是思维不发散、不周密。而命题人就是利用同学们的这一弱点,设计陷阱题。所以,无论试题难易与否,我们都要保持正常的考试心态。试题容易,不欣喜;试题难,不悲观。   
2、根据前面讲到的方法,认认真真、细细心心做好事实细节题。   
3、做好语义转换题。这类题是根据英语中一词多义和某些词语在文中能表达一定的修辞意义的原则而设计的。要求同学们解释某生词的含义,确定多义词或短语在文中的意思,确认文中的某个代词所指代的对象,或者对英语中特有的表达、格言、谚语进行解释。这种题要求同学们一定要根据上下文猜测词义或理解句子,切不可望文生义。   
4、做好简单推理判断题。简单推理判断题要以表面文字为前提,以具体事实为依据进行推理,做出判断。这种推理方式比较直接,只要弄清事实,即可结合常识推断出合理的结论。
