单选题 Lipstick(口红) plays an important role in attraction
and can even protect the lips from drying out in harsh weather. No wonder it's
the most important thing in a woman's cosmetics(化妆品) bag.
Colouring the lips is certainly not a new idea. It was practiced as early as 3
500 BC. In the past, a natural dye was used to paint lips, It
was not until the 17th century that lipstick manufacturing really took off. The
lipstick was made of mixtures that included pig fat and red sandalwood(檀香油). It
was kept in tiny pots and applied with a colouring Stick.
Lipstick was invented and first presented by Parisian perfumeries (香水制造商) in
Amsterdam. But these "little red sausages" were less practical. They were
wrapped in silk paper and the ends had to be broken off before each use. They
also did not come cheap. Over the years the sticks became less
expensive and new colours were developed. But it was not until 1950 that
lipstick accidentally was reinvented -- this time by the Americans.
Today there are so many types of lipsticks and shades that it is hard to
{{U}}keep track{{/U}} of them. Faced with many choices in the cosmetic departments,
it is easy to forget that there is a whole science to manufacture
them. The basic materials are colours, oils and waxes. But they
can contain up to 30 different materials. Lipstick manufacturers have to achieve
a careful balance. "You need a thicker oil to make the lipstick last longer, but
a thinner one to make it easy to apply," says Cornelia Riede, product developer
at Nivea Beaute in Hamburg. Different oils also provide
protection for lips, preventing them from drying up. The waxes
used in lipsticks must strike the right balance between strength and
elasticity(弹性). And up to nine different colouring matters could be needed to
find the right shade. No one today need fear dangerous
materials in lipsticks. A study by a leading German consumer organization found
dangerous materials such as lead or cadrnium(镉) are hardly a problem any more --
even in the cheapest products. Today, the question is whether
to choose a conventional lipstick or the newest, long-lasting variety.

"She was married to an officer in India
long ago and she had a life of physical adventure as exciting as her poetry. Her
husband could cross rivers, using crocodiles (鳄鱼) as stepping stones. He died
when she was only thirty-nine. Unwilling to exist without him, she took her
life, leaving a son in England." I stared at the paper,
{{U}}(36) {{/U}}reading, couldn't help thinking.
Crocodiles are lazy animals as a rule, but they can{{U}} (37)
{{/U}}like lightning when they want to. And they don't mind hurrying{{U}}
(38) {{/U}}they're hungry. There used to be lots in Indian rivers,
living on fish mostly, but what's a little fish{{U}} (39) {{/U}}a
fifteen-toot crocodile? They are people, fisherman or anyone else delicious
enough to get too near; women doing the{{U}} (40) {{/U}} or children
playing at the water's{{U}} (41) {{/U}}. A hungry crocodile's mouth{{U}}
(42) {{/U}}over a meal with a sound like a gunshot. A big fellow
can{{U}} (43) {{/U}}in a man in two bites. That woman's
husband crossed rivers {{U}}(44) {{/U}}from one crocodile's back to the
next. I believe it. It had to be done{{U}} (45) {{/U}}before the
creature could see what was happening. It wasn't{{U}} (46) {{/U}}a
brave, active man, and no doubt he improved with practice. He could never
look{{U}} (47) {{/U}}while crossing. The wife used to
watch him—I felt{{U}} (48) {{/U}}of that. She lived{{U}} (49)
{{/U}}the adventure with the{{U}} (50) {{/U}}excitement of it all.
Their real life was with tigers, snakes... It's no wonder she wrote{{U}}
(51) {{/U}}poetry. Then he{{U}} (52) {{/U}}. I
imagined how she felt. Was there another man{{U}} (53) {{/U}}him in
India, in the world? She was still young, hardly a sitting-room widow (寡妇). "I
must{{U}} (54) {{/U}}, too." She said to herself. So she did what she
felt she had to do. A{{U}} (55) {{/U}}probably, to her head. But her
young son, their son? Was her love for him nothing compared to her husband?
