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 31 to 35.
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 comes in contact 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 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. 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.

A. Your need for thrills
B. Your mood

Question 33: According to this passage, what creates disease?

D. Exposing yourself to bright color
