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 reflects
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 looks at or sees 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.
Colors, sound, and emotions are all vibrations. Emotions are literally energy in motion; they are meant to
move and flow. This is the reason why real feelings are the fastest way to get your energy in motion. Also, flowing
energy is exactly what creates healthy cells in your body. So, the fastest way to be healthy is to be open to your real
feelings. Alternately, the fastest way to create disease is to inhibit your emotions.

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.
During the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, almost nothing was written about the contributions of
women during the colonial period and the early history of the newly formed United States. Lacking the right to vote
and absent from the seats of power, women were not considered an important force in history. Anne Bradstreet
wrote some significant poetry in the seventeenth century, Mercy Otis Warren produced the best contemporary
history of the American Revolution, and Abigail Adams penned important letters showing she exercised great
political influence over her husband, John, the second President of the United States. But little or no notice was
taken of these contributions. During these centuries, women remained invisible in history books.
Throughout the nineteenth century, this lack of visibility continued, despite the efforts of female authors
writing about women. These writers, like most of their male counterparts, were amateur historians. Their writings
were celebratory in nature, and they were uncritical in their selection and use of sources.
During the nineteenth century, however, certain feminists showed a keen sense of history by keeping
records of activities in which women were engaged. National, regional, and local women’s organizations compiled
accounts of their doings. Personal correspondence, newspaper clippings, and souvenirs were saved and stored.
These sources from the core of the two greatest collections of women’s history in the United States one at the
Elizabeth and Arthur Schlesinger Library at Radcliffe College, and the other the Sophia Smith Collection at Smith
College. Such sources have provided valuable materials for later Generations of historians.
Despite the gathering of more information about ordinary women during the nineteenth century, most of
the writing about women conformed to the “great women” theory of History, just as much of mainstream American
history concentrated on “great men”. To demonstrate that women were making significant contributions to
American life, female authors singled out women leaders and wrote biographies, or else important women
produced their autobiographies. Most of these leaders were involved in public life as reformers, activists working

for women’s right to vote, or authors, and were not representative at all of the great of ordinary woman. The lives
of ordinary people continued, generally, to be untold in the American histories being published.
Question 71: What does the passage mainly discuss?

D. poetry produced by women was more readily accepted than other writing by women
Question 74: The word “celebratory” in the second paragraph means that the writings referred to _______.
A. related to parties B. religious C. serious D. full of praise
Question 75: The word “they” in the second paragraph refers to_______.
A. efforts B. authors C. counterparts D. sources
Question 76: In the second paragraph, what weakness in nineteenth-century histories does the author point out?
