Most of us regard our moods as being rather like the weather - it is something that
colours the whole day, comes from somewhere else and over which we have little
. Not that there isn't a range of folk
for dealing with a bad one: "Just snap out
of it. Have a good cry. Talk to a friend - a problem
is a problem halved. Pamper
yourself."

The problem is, as the latest American research
, all these favourite moodchanging ploys are very ineffective. In new book, Robert Thayer, professor of
psychology at California State University,
forward a new theory about what to do
to change them and why. There are a few surprises. For instance, men, contrary to
popular opinion, are actually better at dealing with their moods than women. Not only
that, but the time-honoured female techniques of pouring it all out to a friend or having a
good cry are often a waste of time.

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 36 to 42.
There are a number of natural disasters that can strike across the globe. Two that are
frequently linked to one another are earthquakes and tsunamis. Both of them can cause a
great amount of devastation when they hit. However, tsunamis are the direct result of
earthquakes and cannot happen without them.
The Earth has three main parts. They are the crust, the mantle, and the core. The crust is
the outer layer of the Earth. It is not a single piece of land. Instead, it is comprised of a
number of plates. There are a few enormous plates and many smaller ones. These plates
essentially rest upon the mantle, which is fluid. As a result, the plates are in constant yet slow - motion. The plates may move away from or toward other plates. In some
cases, they collide violently with the plates adjoining them. The movement of the plates
causes tension in the rock. Over a long time, this tension may build up. When it is
released, an earthquake happens.
Tens of thousands of earthquakes happen every year. The vast majority are so small that
only scientific instruments can perceive them. Others are powerful enough that people
can feel them, yet they cause little harm or damage. More powerful earthquakes,
however, can cause buildings, bridges, and other structures to collapse. They may
additionally injure and kill thousands of people and might even cause the land to change
its appearance.

Since most of the Earth’s surface is water, numerous earthquakes happen beneath the
planet’s oceans. Underwater earthquakes can cause the seafloor to move. This results in
the displacement of water in the ocean. When this occurs, a tsunami may form. This is a
wave that forms on the surface and moves in all directions from the place where the
earthquake happened. A tsunami moves extremely quickly and can travel thousands of
kilometres. As it approaches land, the water near the coast gets sucked out to sea. This
causes the tsunami to increase in height. Minutes later, the tsunami arrives. A large
tsunami - one more than ten meters in height- can travel far inland. As it does that, it can
flood the land, destroy human settlements, and kill large numbers of people.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to

Another critical factor that plays a part in susceptibility to colds is age. A study done by
the University of Michigan School of Public Health revealed particulars that seem to
hold true for the general population. Infants are the most cold-ridden group, averaging
more than six colds in their first year. Boys have more colds than girls up to age three.
After the age of three, girls are more susceptible than boy's , and teenege girls average
three colds a year to boy’s two.
The general incidence of continues to decline into maturity. Elderly people who are in
good health have as few as one or two colds annually. One exception is founds among
people in the twentics, especially women, who show a rise in cold infections, because
people in this age group are most likely to have young children. Adults who delay
having children until thirties forties experience the same sudden increase in cold
infections.
The study also found that economics play an important role. As income increases, the
frequency at which are reported in the family decreases. Families with the lowest income
suffer about a third more colds than families at the lower end. Lower income generally
forces people to live in more cramped quarters than those typically occupied by

wealthier by wealthier people, and crowding increses the opportunities for the cold virus
totravel from person to person. Low income may also adversely influence diet. The
degree to which poor nutrition affects susceptibility to colds is not yet clearly
established, but an inadequate diet is suspected of lowering resistance generally.
