The Three Sheiks and Queen of Arabia Maura, who liked to be thought of as the most beautiful and powerful queen of Arabia, had many suitors. One by one she discarded them, until her list was reduced to just three sheiks, all equally young and handsome, rich and strong. It was very hard to decide who would be the best of them. One evening, Maura disguised herself and went to the camp of the three sheiks, as they were about to have a dinner, and asked them for something to eat. The first gave her some leftover food; the second gave her some unappetizing camels tail; the third sheik, who was called Hakim, offered her some of the most tender and tasty meat. After dinner, the disguised queen left the sheiks camp. The following day the queen invited the three sheiks to dinner at her palace. She ordered her servants to give each one exactly what they had given her the evening before. Hakim, who received a plate of delicious meat, refused to eat it if the other two could not share it with him, and this act finally convinced Queen Maura that he was the man for her. Without question, Hakim is the most generous of you she announced her choice to the sheiks, So it is Hakim I will marry.

Ii was challenging to visit different refugee to find soft stories, human interest stories. Then, I went back to the press center in between to cover the press conferences of the day. It was heart breaking when I saw these survivors fight for food and secondhand clothing, which they said were limited and inadequate. Emerging to a glaring, full noon, it was time to go back to the press center to write stories and race against time, always fearing that the internet connection would come crashing down. And after everything was done, only then I remembered to eat. Most times, I only ate once a day because you always had to rush and it was difficult to find food.

This text is for questions 46 to 50. In the spring of 1934, storms swept across the Great Plains, but they were not rainstorms. They were the result of sun and drought and a terrible wind that blew million of tons of topsoil from 300.000 square miles in Kansas, Texas, Oklahoma, Colorado, and New Mexico. This was the Dust Bowl. It buried fences, field, and homes. It choked cattle and sickened the people who stayed. Three hundred and fifty thousand settler fled, many becoming part of slow, sad caravan along Route 66 to California. But wind and drought were not the only factor that combined to create the Dust Bowl. Only fifty years earlier, a carpet of buffalo grass had covered the Great Plains, protecting the soil and retaining the moisture in the ground. By the turn of the century, farmer had settled, homesteading in regions that had been used as range land. The increased demand for wheat during Word War I encouraged farmers to plow and plant even wider areas. Forty percent of the land that they plowed up had never been exposed to rain, wind, or sun before. When the drought and wind came, the land had been prepared for disaster. 46. With which the following topic is the passage primarily concerned? A. The Dust Bowl D. World War I B. The Great Plains E. Farmers settlement C. Homesteading 47. Where did many of the homesteaders go when they abandoned their farms? A. To Kansas D. To Colorado B. To New Mexico E. To California C. To Texas 48. The word it in line 3 refers to? A. Topsoil B. The Dust Bowl C. wind

D. result E. drought

49. The author mentions all the following as having contributed to the disaster EXCEPT? A. wind D. rain B. drought E. Sun C. homesteading 50.
