Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate
the correct answer to each of the questions from 71 to 80
Colors and Emotions
Colors are one of the most exciting experiences in life. I love them, and they are just as
important to me as emotions are. Have you ever wondered how the two are so intimately related?
Color directly affects your emotions. Color both reflects the current state of your
emotions, and is something that you can use to improve or change your emotions. The color that
you choose to wear either refects your current state of being, or reflects the color or emotion that
you need.

The colors that you wear affect you much more than they affect the people around you.
Of course they also affect anyone who comes in contract with you, but you are the one saturated
with the color all day ! I even choose items around me based on their color. In the morning, I
choose my clothes based on the color or emotion that I need for the day. So you can consciously
use color to control the emotions that you are exposed to, which can help you to feel better.
Color, sound, and emotions are all vibrations. Emotions are literally energy in motion;
they are meant to move and flow. This is the reason that real feelings are the fastest way to get
your energy in motion. Also, flowing energy is exactly what creates healthy cells in your body.

Read the passage then circle the best option A, B, C or D to complete the following questions
or statements:
During the 19th century, women in the U. S organized and participated in a large number of
reform movements, including movements to reorganize the prison system, improve education,
ban the sale of alcohol, and most importantly to free slaves. Some women saw similarities in the

social status of women and slaves. Women like Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Lucy Stone were
feminists and abolitionists who supported the rights of both women and blacks. A number of male
abolitionists, including William Lloyd Garrison and Wendell Phillips also supported the rights of
women to speak and participate equally with men in anti- slavery activities. Probably more than
any other movement, abolitionism offered women a previously denied entry into politics. They
became involved primarily in order to better their living conditions and the conditions of others.
When the Civil war ended in 1865, the 14th, and 15th, Amendments to the Constitution
adopted in 1868 and 1870 granted citizenship and suffrage to blacks but not to women.
Discouraged but resolved, feminists influenced more and more women to demand the right to
vote. In 1869, the Wyoming Territory had yielded to demands by feminists, but eastern states
resisted more stubbornly than ever before. A woman's suffrage bill had been presented to every
Congress since 1878 but it continually failed to pass until 1920, when the 19th Amendment
granted women the right to vote.

B. to support Elizabeth Cady Stanton

D. to be elected to public office.

A. somewhat B. above all C. always D. finally

following certain tips. Experts say that you should read and listen to safety instruction before take
off and ask questions if you have uncertainties. You should fasten your seat belt low on your hips
and as tightly as possible. Of course, you should also know how the release mechanism of your
belt operates. During takeoffs and landings, you are advised to keep your feet flat on the floor.

seats between you and the exits so that you can reach them in the dark if necessary. In the

event that you are forewarned of a possible accident, you should put your hands on your ankles
and keep your head down until the planes comes to a complete stop. If smoke is present in the
cabin, you should keep your head low and cover your face with napkins, towels, or clothing. If
possible, wet these for added protection against smoke inhalation. To evacuate as quickly as
possible, follow crew commands and do not take personal belongings with you. Do not jump on
escape slides before they are fully inflated, and when you jump, do so with your arms and legs
extended in front of you. When you get to the ground, you should move away from the plane as

Read the following passage and mark the letter A,B,C or D on your answer sheet to indicate
the correct answer to each of the following questions from 64 to 73 .
Although they are an inexpensive supplier of vitamins, minerals, and high quality protein,
eggs also contain a high level of blood cholesterol, one of the major causes of heart disease. One
egg yolk, in fact, contains a little more than two-thirds of the suggested daily cholesterol limit.
This knowledge has caused egg sales to plummet in recent years, which in turns has brought
about the development of several alternatives to eating regular eggs. One alternative is to eat
substitute eggs.
These egg substitutes are not really eggs, but they look somewhat like eggs when they
are cooked. They have the advantage of having lower cholesterol rates, and they can be

scrambled or used in baking. One disadvatage, however, is that they are not good for frying,
poaching, or boiling. A second alternative to regular eggs is a new type of egg, sometimes called
“designer” eggs. These eggs are produced by hens that are fed low-fat diets consisting of
ingredients such as canola oil, flax, and rice bran. In spite of their diets, however, these hens
produce eggs that contain the same amount of cholesterol as regular eggs. Yet, the producers of
these eggs claim that eating their eggs will not raise the blood cholesterol in humans.
Eggs producers claim that their product has been portrayed unfairly. They cite scientific
studies to back up their claim. And, in fact, studies on the relationship between eggs and human
cholesterol levels have brought mixed results. It may be that it is not the type of egg that is the
main determinant of cholesterol but the person who is eating the eggs. Some people may be more
sensitive to cholesterol derived from food than other people. In fact, there is evidence that certain
dietary fats stimulate the body’s production of blood cholesterol. Consequently, while it still
makes sense to limit one’s intake of eggs, even designer eggs, it seems that doing this without
regulating 30 dietary fat will probably not help reduce the blood cholesterol level.
Question 64: What is the main purpose of this passage?
A. to convince people to eat “designer” eggs and egg substitutes.
B. to inform people about the relationship between eggs and cholesterol.
C. to persuade people that eggs are unhealthy and should not be eaten.

Americas foods began to affect the rest of the world. American emphasis on convenient and

franchises for Mc Donalds and Burger King spread through Europe and other parts of the

Today the most universally known style of trousers for both men and women is jeans; these
trousers are worn throughout the world on a variety of occasions. Also called levis or denims,
jeans have an interesting story.

The word jeans is derived from the name of the place where a similar style of pants developed.
In the 16
th
century, sailors from Genoa, Italy, wore a unique tyle of cotton trousers. In French,
the word for the city of Genoa and for the people from that city is Genes, this name became
attached to the trousers and developed into the word jeans.
Similar to the word jeans, the word denim is also derived from a place name. In the 17
th
century,
French sailors began making trousers out of a specialized type of cloth that was developed in
the city of Nimes, France and was known serge de Nimes. This name eventually developed
into denim, the material which jeans are made and an alternative name for these popular
pants.
The word levis came from a person. In the 19
th
century, Levis Strauss tried to sell heavy canvas
to miners taking part in the hunt for gold in northern California. He intended for this canvas
to be used by miners to make heavy-duty tents. This first attemp was a failure but he later
found success when he used the canvas to make indestructible pants for the miners. He
changed the fabric from brown canvas to blue denim, creating a style of pants that long
outlived him and is now referred to by his name.
