BEAUTY SLEEP: 
WHY THERE’S NO ESCAPING MAKEUP
Bare Minerals is selling makeup to wear in bed – meaning women may never have to show their real, 
unadorned faces again
The launch took place in New York where a giant bed was built in Times Square. As a spontaneous gathering 
in a public space, it was a little bit like Spain’s Indignados Movement, except for its corporate sponsors (the 
woman’s magazine Cosmo and the makeup company Bare Minerals) and its driving purpose, which was not 
to 1. _________ corruption, but to free you from ever having to take your makeup 2. _________.
Bare Minerals’ new product is a makeup 3. _________ light that you can sleep in it without getting spots. 
Clearly, this is the innovation womankind has been waiting for: so much of our shame has been managed by 
the beauty market, from the way we smell to our body hair. All that effort spent on looking presentable and 
yet we would still, until now, have to go to sleep showing our real faces, in all probability to the person we 
most want to find us attractive.
You think your loved ones don’t 4. _________ because familiarity has made you invisible? Think again. My 
daughter woke me up once, pointing at my face and going: “You’re red here, and here, and here, and that’s 
because you’re old.”
But if I’m fine with this as a woman and a feminist, I am a little anxious about capitalism. There is a growing 
consensus that we’re coming to the end of the ‘age of stuff’. Now, we don’t need or want things anymore – 
we want meaning. Yet, there are companies that find this 5. _________. They want to find a 6. _________ in 
the person who is asleep, unconscious. Next they will make playlists for people in comas or deodorants for 
the unborn.

(A – G) the one that fits each gap. There is one extra sentence which you do not need to use.

WHY A UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT 
AGENCY DELETED THE WORDS ‘NATION 
OF IMMIGRANTS’
For more than a century, the identity of the United States has been grounded in the notion that we are a 
“nation of immigrants”. Immigrants have made innumerable contributions to our economy, infrastructure, 
and culture – building our railroads and bridges, bringing innovation and new ideas, and settling in 
communities that succeed throughout our country today. 15. ____
As of last week, the mission statement of the USCIS has changed. No longer does its mission speak 
to “America’s promise as a nation of immigrants” that promotes “an awareness and understanding of 
citizenship” along with “ensuring the integrity of our immigration system.” Now, the new version focuses on 
“adjudicating requests for immigrant benefits” while “protecting Americans” and “securing the homeland”.
16. ____ It may seem like just a few words, but this new language is happening within the context of other 
alarming changes to our national immigration policies and practices. Refugee admissions have been limited 
to a historic low, and people with “temporary protected status” who escaped their homelands due to natural 
disasters or civil wars are being sent back.
All of these changes have been presented under the pretense of protecting against threats to our national 
security. 17. ____ Despite increased attention on anti-immigrant sentiments, Americans across the country 
largely embrace immigrants of all faiths and cultures and want the government to do their same.
Indeed, across the country, people and communities have been sending the clear message that immigrants 
are not only welcomed, but valued. 18. ____
The significance of welcoming does not simply serve to express our national values or concern about 
immigrants and their well-being. 19. ____ Parallel surveys we have conducted with immigrants show that 
the more they feel welcome by Americans, the more they come to identify as American themselves and to 
seek to become US citizens – factors that can fuel greater civic participation and contributions to our society.
20. ____ But rather than pursue policies that set immigrants apart, we should seek to integrate immigrants 
and highlight the assets they bring to communities across our nation.
