Read the following passage, and then choose the best answer to each of the questions that follow and mark it on your answer sheet. 1. Oud (agarwood or agar) comes from trees found in India, Cambodia, Yemen, Thailand and Ethiopia. It is a certain fungal infection that comes from Aquilaria trees, which is peeled off the tree. The chips are initially pale and light in color; the heartwood turns dense and dark as a result of the growth of a dangerous mold. 2. Oud has a very strong and unique smell that is available in chips, which are lit and burned. The scented smoke is called Bakhoor. Oud is also available in an oil form, which is placed in small perfume bottles. People apply the oil on certain areas such as behind the ears and on the wrists for a long-lasting scented effect. 3. Bakhoor, the scented smoke, is made from placing the Oud chip on a bed of natural coal or lighted charcoal, which allows the wood to burn and puff the fragrance of the authentic Oud. Once the chip is burned out, it should be thrown away. Traditionally in Saudi Arabia, when Oud is lit, the Oud burner is passed around from one person to another as part of Saudi hospitality. An old odd fact about Bakhoor is that when a host is tired of his visitors and wants them to leave, he/she would burn a chip of Oud and walk around the room. Guests would then know that this is a polite signal for them to leave. 4. Oud in its oil form (dehan) is a considerable investment. It is sold and measured in 12-milliliter bottles called tola. Prices for one tola range anywhere from SR300 to SR8,000. Anything below this price might be a copy or a Chinese imitation. 5. Imam Bukhari reported that Oud is known to be an excellent scent for strengthening the body and the mind. According to him, the Prophet (peace be upon him) said: “Treat with Indian incense (Oud AlHindi) for it has healing for seven diseases; it is to be sniffed by one having throat problems and put in the mouth for one suffering from pleurisy.” Oud is also used to traditionally treat asthma, chest congestion, colic, nausea, kidney problems, thyroid cancer, lung tumors, and post childbirth. It is also ageneral refresher in China, India and Japan. 6. International perfume brands such as Tom Ford, Armani, Dior, Kilian and more are now embracing Oud for its distinctive long-lasting scent and are including it in their luxurious perfume mixtures. Popular brand stores in Saudi Arabia that are famous for selling high quality Oud are: Arabian Oud, Ajmal and Abdul Samad Alqurashi. The 2nd paragraph is mainly talking about………………..
- A.
Two forms of Oud
- B.
Bakhoor in a form of scented smoke
- C.
Oud in an oil form
- D.
Small perfume bottles
Correct Answer

The 2nd paragraph is mainly talking about the two forms of Oud, which are chips and oil.

It also mentions that the oil is placed in small perfume bottles.Rate this question:

Read the following passage, and then choose the best answer to each of the questions that follow and mark it on your answer sheet. 1. A little girl had been shopping with her Mom in Wal-Mart. She must have been 6- years-old, this beautiful red-haired, freckle-faced image of innocence. It was pouring outside. The kind of rain that gushes over the top of rain gutters, so much in a hurry to hit the earth it has no time to flow down the spout. We all stood there under the awning and just inside the door of the Wal-Mart . 2. We waited, some patiently, others irritated because nature messed up their hurried day. I am always mesmerized by rainfall. I got lost in the sound and sight of the heavens washing away the dirt and dust of the world. Memories of running, splashing so carefree as a child came pouring in as a welcome moment from the worries of my day . 3. The little voice was so sweet as it broke the hypnotic trance we were all caught in: "Mom,let's run through the rain," she said . "What?" Mom asked . "Let's run through the rain!" she repeated . "No, honey. We'll wait until it slows down a bit," Mom replied . This young child waited about another minute and repeated: "Mom, let's run through the rain ". "We'll get soaked if we do," Mom said . "No, we won't, Mom. That's not what you said this morning," the young girl said as she tugged at her Mom's arm . "This morning? When did I say we could run through the rain and not get wet"؟ "Don't you remember? When you were talking to Daddy about his cancer, you said, 'If God can get us through this, he can get us through anything "! 4. The entire crowd stopped dead silent. I swear you couldn't hear anything but the rain. We all stood silently. No one came or left in the next few minutes. Mom paused and thought for a moment about what she would say. Now some would laugh it off and scold her for being silly. Some might even ignore what was said. But this was a moment of affirmation in a young child's life. A time when innocent trust can be nurtured so that it will bloom into faith "Honey, you are absolutely right. Let's run through the rain. If God let's us get wet, well maybe we just needed washing," Mom said. Then off they ran. We all stood watching, smiling and laughing as they darted past the cars and, yes, through the puddles. They got soaked. But they were followed by a few who screamed and laughed like children all the way to their cars . And yes, I did. I ran. I got wet. I needed washing.

Read the following passage, and then choose the best answer to each of the questions that follow and mark it on your answer sheet. According to a 077-year-old legend, a princess called the Blessed Kinga threw her ring into a salt mine at Marmaros in Hungary. While traveling from Marmaros to Cracow, she stopped at Weiliczka and her servants were told to dig a well. Instead of water, salt was discovered – and in the first lump of salt, which was taken out, Kinga’s ring was found. The legend is a story- but it is true that for over seven centuries, salt has been mined from the rock below the town of Weiliczka. After that date, horses were used to carry salt out, but the work was still very dangerous and many miners were killed or injured. The constant danger made the miners deeply religious and chapels were constructed underground where church services were held. After a chapel was destroyed by fire in 1960, miners were not allowed to take wooden statues into the mine, so they began to carve sculpture from rock salt. Nowadays visitors are shown how salt was mined long ago, and can see the enormous chambers which have been dug out of the solid rock. They can also see pretty green lakes, and chapels with beautiful carvings. A special attraction is the Chapel of the Blessed Kinga, which was made by the miners themselves in a chamber 177 meters underground. The servants were asked to dig a well to...................
- A.
Find water
- B.
Discover salt
- C.
Take out Kinga’s ring

Correct Answer
