10. Woman : It is a domisticated animal. It is a large bovid originating in South Asia, Southeast Asia, and
China. Today, it is also found in Europe, Australia, and some American countries. This animal is especially
suitable for tilling rice fields, and their milk is richer in fat and protein than that of dairy cattle. The large feral
population of northern Australia became established in the late 19th century, and smaller feral herds are in New
Guinea, Tunisia, and northeastern Argentina. The husbandry system of this animal depends on the purpose for
which they are bred and maintained. Most of them are kept by people who work on small farms in family units.
The women and girls in India generally look after the milking buffaloes while the men and boys are concerned
with the working animals.

Narrator : Which tool is described?

PART IV
Woman :
Henri's life had been pretty average for a New York City kid before she went to China. She lived in a loft apartment
with her mother, who was a painter and potter, and her father, a college professor. She was in the eighth grade at
Intermediate School 104, and she had a best friend named Tillie and a summer boyfriend in the Poconos named
Walt. All that disappeared the year her father got an exchange appointment to teach English literature at Peking
University, Beijing, China. Her second life began in Beijing, where they lived in a two-room apartment and she had
a Chinese friend named Minyuan and no other friend at all except Caitlin, aged six. Perhaps most important,
Henrietta had no school, only lesson assignments by mail from a correspondence school in Massachusetts. She had
no one to talk to about school or boyfriends or anything, no telephone to talk on, no place to hang out and munch
chips or pizza.
Narrator :

Lipstick contains wax, oils, antioxidants and emollients. Wax provides the structure to the solid lipstick. Lipsticks
may be made from several waxes such as beeswax, ozokerite and candelilla wax. The high melting Carnauba wax is
a key ingredient in terms of strengthening the lipstick. Various oils and fats are also used in lipsticks, such as olive
oil, mineral oil, cocoa butter, lanolin, and petrolatum. More than 50% of lipsticks made in the United States
contain pig fat or castor oil, which gives them a shiny appearance.
Lipsticks get their colors from a variety of pigments and lake dyes including, but not limited to bromo acid, D&C
Red No. 21, Calcium Lake such as D&C Red 7 and D&C Red 34, and D&C Orange No. 17. Pink lipsticks are made
by mixing colourless titanium dioxide and red shades. There are organic and inorganic pigments.
