Read the following passage and choose the best option.
Impressionism in painting developed in the late nineteenth century in France. It began with a loosely structured group of
painters who got together mainly to exhibit their paintings. Their art was characterized by the attempt to depict light and
movement by using pure broken colour. The movement began with four friends who met in a cafe: Monel, Renoir, Sisley and
Brazill. They were reacting against the academic standards of their time and the romantic emphasis on emotion as a subject

matter. They rejected the role of imagination in art. Instead, they observed nature closely, painting with a scientific interest in
visual phenomena. Their subject matter was as diverse as their personalities. Monet and Sisley painted landscapes with
changing effects of light, and Renoir painted idealized women and childen. The works of impresionists were received with
hostility until the 1920s. By the 1930s impressionism had a large cult following, and by the 1950s even the least important
works by people associated with the movement commanded enormous prices.

Read the following passage and choose the best answer to each question.
People commonly complain that they never have enough time to accomplish tasks. The hours and minutes seem to slip away
before many planned chores get done. According to time management experts, the main reason for this is that most people fail
to set priorities about what to do first. They get tied down by trivial, time consuming matters and never complete the important
ones.
One simple solution often used by those at the top is to keep lists of tasks to be accomplished daily. These lists order jobs from
most essential to least essential and are checked regularly through the day to assess progress. Not only is this an effective way

to manage time, but also it serves to give individuals a much deserved sense of satisfaction over their achievements. People
who do not keep lists often face the end of the work day with uncertainty over the significance of their accomplishments,
which over time can contribute to serious problems in mental and physical health.

Read the following passage and choose the best answer to each question.
Hatred is a fundamental human emotion that has deep root in society and culture. Psychologists believe that group identity and
cohesion depend to a large extent on having a common enemy. It seems that the existence of "bad guys" is an important
element in defining who we are within a large realm. It could be said that human beings love to hate.
The first signs appear early in life when a child, faced with blame for some mistake, immediately accuses another child or an
inanimate object such as a teddy bear. Later, on the schoolyard playground, children in rival groups compete for attention and
influence. These basic responses translate into more powerful emotions later in life.
One area where deep-rooted hatred is exhibited is in the ethnic fights that constantly occur around the globe. These conflicts
are not only over territory but also involve emotional issues of group identity and unity of purpose. For many, there is no "us"
without a "them" to hate. In a word, where conflict between super powers is on the decline, it may be that humanity will have
difficulty adapting to a state of mutual
respect and cooperation.

Read the following passage and choose the best answer to each question.
With the onset of the winter season, man's natural enemies, the common cold and the flu, arrive with full force. It seems that

the fluctuations in temperature and weather are guarantees that coughs and sneezes will spread inflecting germs among family
and friends.
More than 100 different types of bacteria can cause a cold, and doctors sometimes use antibiotics to treat bacterial colds.
However, there are an equal number of viruses that can cause influenza, and modern science offers no drug capable of curing
vital infections. In most cases, the best advice is the usual prescription: get plenty of rest, drink a lot of fluids, and be prepared
to suffer for three to ten days.
Some home cures help to relieve the symptoms of colds and flu. Mother's chicken soup, rich in fats and oils, helps to revitalize
a tired body and to soothe a sorethroat. Garlic, containing the active ingredient allicin, has long been used to fight off the
effects of bacteria and viruses. Hot toddies consisting of small amounts of liquor mixed with honey, sugar and lemon juice can
relieve soreness and draw out cold germs.
