Quiz 3	READING COMPREHENSION
Q1.  Read the article.
Traditional Arab Men’s Clothing Arab men have worn a traditional set of clothing for hundreds of years. This outfit is comfortable, functional, and very well adapted to the hot, dry climate of the Arabian peninsula. The centerpiece of the outfit is the DISHDASHA , a long-sleeved , loose-fitting tunic. Most dishdashas are made of light-weight cotton. The earliest type was a simple rectangular piece of cloth with a hole for the head. However, today’s dishdasha often has a low collar, some buttons at the neck and sleeves, and pockets inside the tunic. The dishdasha is worn with a three-piece headdress. The KEFFIYA, a small, round cap, is the piece that goes on first. Then the GHUTRA, a large, square piece of white or checkered cloth, is folded into a triangle and laid over the keffiya. Finally, the AGAL, a double circle of black cord, is placed firmly on top to keep the entire headdress in place. This headdress provides shade from the sun and can be worn to keep blowing sand out of the face.         Completing the outfit are long white trousers, leather sandals, and a BISHT, an outer garment that is worn over the dishdasha on formal occasions or during cooler weather.
