<i><b>Read the following passage and then blacken the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to </b></i>

<i><b>indicate the correct answer to each of the following questions.</b></i>

1. The craft of perfumery has an ancient and global heritage. The art flourished in Ancient Rome, where the
emperors were said to bathe in scent. After the fall of Rome, much of the knowledge was lost, but survived
in Islamic civilizations in the Middle Ages. Arab and Persian pharmacists developed essential oils from the
aromatic plants of the Indian peninsula. They developed the processes of distillation and suspension in

alcohol, which allowed for smaller amounts of raw materials to be used than in the ancient process, by which
flower petals were soaked in warm oil. This knowledge was carried back to European monasteries during the
Crusades.

2. At first, the use of fragrances was primarily associated with healing. Aromatic alcoholic waters were
ingested as well as used externally. Fragrances were used to purify the air, both for spiritual and health
<b>purposes. During the Black Death, the bubonic plague was thought to have resulted from a bad odour </b>

aversion to using water for washing, and so perfume was commonly used as a cleaning agent.

3. Later on, the craft of perfume re-entered Europe, and was centred in Venice, chiefly because it was an
important trade route and a centre for glass-making. Having such materials at hand was essential for the
distillation process. In the late seventeenth century, trade soared in France, when Louis XIV brought in
policies of protectionism and patronage which stimulated the purchase of luxury goods. Here, perfumery was
<b>the preserve of glove-makers. The link arose since the tanning of leather required putrid substances. </b>
Consequently, the gloves were scented before they were sold and worn. A glove and perfume makers’ guild
had existed here since 1190. Entering it required 7 years of formal training under a master perfumer.

4. The trade in perfume flourished during the reign of Louis XV, as the master glove-and-perfume makers,
particularly those trading in Paris, received patronage from the royal court, where it is said that a different
perfume was used each week. The perfumers diversified into other cosmetics including soaps, powders,
white face paints and hair dyes. They were not the sole sellers of beauty products. Mercers, spicers,
vinegar-makers and wig-makers were all cashing in on the popularity of perfumed products. Even simple
shopkeepers were coming up with their own concoctions to sell.

5. During the eighteenth century, more modern, capitalist perfume industry began to emerge, particularly in
Britain where there was a flourishing consumer society. In France, the revolution initially disrupted the
perfume trade due to its association with aristocracy, however, it regained momentum later as a wider range

of markets were sought both in the domestic and overseas markets. The guild system was abolished in 1791,
allowing new high-end perfumery shops to open in Paris.

6. Perfume became less associated with health in 1810 with a Napoleonic ordinance which required
perfumers to declare the ingredients of all products for internal consumption. Unwilling to divulge their
secrets, traders concentrated on products for external use. Napoleon affected the industry in other ways too.
With French ports blockaded by the British during the Napoleonic wars, the London perfumers were able to
dominate the markets for some time.

7. One of the significant changes in the nineteenth century was the idea of branding. Until then, trademarks
had had little significance in the perfumery where goods were consumed locally, although they had a long
history in other industries. One of the pioneers in this field was Rimmel who was nationalized as a British
citizen in 1857. He took advantage of the spread of railroads to reach customers in wider markets. To do this,
he built a brand which conveyed prestige and quality, and were worth paying a premium for. He recognised
the role of design in enhancing the value of his products, hiring a French lithographer to create the labels for
his perfume bottles.

8. Luxury fragrances were strongly associated with the affluent and prestigious cities of London and Paris.
Perfumers elsewhere tended to supply cheaper products and knock-offs of the London and Paris brands. The
United States perfume industry, which developed around the docks in New York where French oils were
being imported, began in this way. Many American firms were founded by immigrants, such as William
Colgate, who arrived in 1806. At this time, Colgate was chiefly known as a perfumery. Its Cashmere
Bouquet brand had 625 perfume varieties in the early 20th century.

Camping holidays are always popular with students and young people - they are a cheap and easy way to see the
country. People often travel by train, by coach or on foot, so one thing is important to remember before starting:
you can only take with you what you can carry - usually in a rucksack on your back.

If you travel with a friend, of course some items can be shared - a tent, a gas stove, food. Other things must
<b>be taken by each person - clothes, footwear, a sleeping bag. </b>

you need another holiday when you get home! And remember, if the weather is wet your rucksack is heavier.
