Harvard University is a world famous school. It has lots of stories, real
or false. The most interesting one is "the Statue of Three Lies." The statue is
at the heart of Harvard University's campus. The information on the base of
the statue is misleading.
First, Harvard University was founded in 1636, not 1638. Second, John
Harvard was not the founder of Harvard University. People named the
university after Reverend John Harvard because he left his personal library and half his land to the school
after he died in 1638. Third, the statue was not John Harvard himself. The model of the statue was a
student in Harvard University in 1884. However, the sculptor did give the statue skinny legs, just like John
Harvard's.
People say that students can do well on their studies after rubbing the left shoe of it. If you have a
chance to visit Harvard University, don't forget to rub the left shoe of the "fake" Harvard.

（16.~20.） Cosmetics in Ancient Egypt
Did you know the cosmetics industry has a very long history? The
ancient Egyptians used makeup as far back as 4000 B.C. In Ancient
Egypt, cosmetics were not just for women: men wore makeup, as did
children and the elderly. They used makeup both for practical reasons and
for decoration.
One of the practical uses of makeup was eye protection. Egypt is in a
very hot and dry part of the world where the sun can be blinding. To
protect their eyes, Egyptians put a paste around their eyelids that was
similar to the black paint American football players put under their eyes.
Cosmetics also helped Egyptians keep their skin healthy. Because of
the dry winds and hot sun, skin would often become dry. Egyptians applied facial cosmetics made out of
animal and vegetable oils and herbs. These cosmetics prevented their skin from drying out. They also
had a pleasant cooling effect which was refreshing in the hot weather.
In addition to using cosmetics for practical benefits, Egyptians also applied them for decoration. At
the time, most people considered eye makeup to be very attractive. They outlined their eyes in black or
gray. A line drawn out toward the hairline was thought to be very stylish. During this time, many
Egyptian women had a small makeup box that they carried around with them. This meant they could fix
their makeup while they were out, just like many women do today.
The practice of using cosmetics for both beauty and practical purposes originated from the wisdom
and lifestyle of ancient Egyptians. Athough cosmetics are used differently today, a lot remains
unchanged.
