Cosmetics
The earliest cosmetics known to archaeologists were in use in Egypt in the fourth
millennium BC, as evidenced by the remains of artifacts probably used for eye makeup
and for the application of scented unguents. By the start of the Christian era, cosmetics
were in wide use in the Roman Empire. Kohl (a preparation based on lampblack or
antimony) was used to darken the eyelashes and eyebrows and to outline the eyelids.

Rouge was used to redden the cheeks, and various white powders were employed to
simulate or heighten fairness of complexion. Bath oils were widely used, and various
abrasives were employed as dentifrices. The perfumes then in use were based on floral
and herbal scents held by natural resins as fixatives.
Along with other cultural refinements, cosmetics disappeared from much of Europe with
the fall of the Roman Empire in the 5th century AD. A revival did not take place until the
Middle Ages, when crusaders returning from the Middle East brought cosmetics and
perfumes back from their travels. Cosmetics reappeared in Europe on a wide scale in the
Renaissance, and Italy (15th–16th centuries) and France (17th century on) became the
chief centres of their manufacture. At first makeup was used only by royalty, their courtiers,
and the aristocracy, but by the 18th century cosmetics had come into use by nearly all
social classes. During the conservative Victorian era of the 19th century, the open use of
cosmetics was frowned upon by respectable society in the United States and Britain.
French women continued to use makeup, however, and France pioneered in the scientific
development and manufacture of cosmetics during that time. After World War I any
lingering Anglo-American prejudices against makeup were discarded, and new products
and techniques of manufacture, packaging, and advertising have made cosmetics
available on an unprecedented scale.
“…the open use of cosmetics was frowned upon by respectable society …”
The underlined word is similar in meaning to …

A. not allowed

Solo Travelling to Bali
Travelling to Bali was different to all my previous travel adventures in a lot
many ways; solo travelling for the very first time, staying with local Balinese
and staying in a stranger’s house than a luxurious hotel for half of my trip.

https://www.e-ujian.com/tes/cetakpaketsoal/98415/2 5/11

The warmth and happiness with which Balinese people welcome you to their
homes is impeccable and unexplainable. It was once in a lifetime chance to
have been able to live and experience the cultural variations, love and care of
someone who was not your family. Sharing five days of my life with them
seemed more like I shared a lifetime of joys, and bidding goodbyes to them
was as hard and painful as leaving your own dear ones.
The highlight of my trip was Ubud, a small village in Bali that gained sudden
popularity from Elizabeth Gilbert’s ‘Eat, Pray, Love’. Ubud means medicine in
as told by a local. True to its name, Ubud’s air possessed some magical
healing powers.
All through my way to Ubud I saw abound and beautiful statues, sculptures
and scenes from Mahabharata and Ramayana. These ubiquitous reflections of
India I found in a foreign land brought me a lot more close to authentic Indian
mythology, history and ethnology. Each village in Bali houses several ancient
temples and every house has the most uniquely carved and architecturally
satisfying pillared gate. I came across two splendid temples on the opposite
ends of Ubud, namely Batuan Temple and Goa Gajah.
Batuan Temple is designed beautifully using bricks and ornaments and every
individual, irrespective of being a man or a woman was made to wear a sarong
prior to entering the sacred and serene temple. It comprised of three areas
known as outer, middle and main mandala. All of them are extremely
beauteous, statuesque and exquisitely carved.
Goa Gajah also known as elephant caves have a naturally carved cave in
shape of ‘T’, that has shrines of lord Ganesha on left and on right that of lord
Brahma, Vishnu and Mahesh. The walk in and around Goa Gajah makes you
feel surrounded by alluring greenery and magnificent bed of rocks.
Solo travelling is truly a privilege and an experience many yearn for. Purifying,
healing, nurturing, shopping, cooking, eating, offering, adventuring, wandering,
and learning in your own company is the best gift you can gift to yourself.
There are heaps more to see, explore and learn from this island.

What was the significance of staying in a stranger's house for the author?

A. Family-like atmosphere
B. Cultural immersion
C. Unwelcoming hosts
D. Luxury and comfort

Natural increases in carbon dioxide concentrations have periodically warmed Earth’s
temperature during ice age cycles over the past million years or more. The warm episodes
(interglacials) began with a small increase in incoming sunlight in the Northern
Hemisphere due to variations in Earth’s orbit around the Sun and its axis of rotation. That
little bit of extra sunlight caused a little bit of warming. As the oceans warmed, they
outgassed carbon dioxide—like a can of soda going flat in the heat of a summer day. The
extra carbon dioxide in the atmosphere greatly amplified the initial, solar-driven warming.
Based on air bubbles trapped in mile-thick ice cores and other paleoclimate evidence, we
know that during the ice age cycles of the past million years or so, atmospheric carbon
dioxide never exceeded 300 ppm. Before the Industrial Revolution started in the mid-
1700s, atmospheric carbon dioxide was 280 ppm or less.
By the time continuous observations began at Mauna Loa Volcanic Observatory in 1958,
global atmospheric carbon dioxide was already 315 ppm. Carbon dioxide levels today are
higher than at any point in human history. In fact, the last time atmospheric carbon dioxide
amounts were this high was more than 3 million years ago, during the Mid-Pliocene Warm
Period, when global surface temperature was 4.5–7.2 degrees Fahrenheit (2.5–4 degrees
Celsius) warmer than during the pre-industrial era. Sea level was at least 16 feet higher
than it was in 1900 and possibly as much as 82 feet higher.

Tirto Adhi Soerjo (c. 1880 – 7 December 1918) was an Indonesian journalist known for his
sharp criticism of the Dutch colonial government. Born to a noble Javanese family in
Blora, Central Java, Tirto first studied to become a doctor but later focused on journalism.
A freelancer since 1894, in 1902 he was made an editor of the Batavia (now Jakarta)
based Pembrita Betawi. Tirto established his first newspaper in 1903 and, four years later,
created Medan Prijaji as a medium for educated native Indonesians. This proved his
longest-lived publication, lasting over five years before Tirto was exiled in 1912 to Bacan
for his staunch anti-colonial criticism.
Medan Prijaji is recognised as the first truly "Indonesian" newspaper, and Tirto has been
called the father of Indonesian journalism. He was made a National Hero of Indonesia in
2006. The main character in Pramoedya Ananta Toer's Buru Quartet is based on him.
