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

Being aware of one's own emotions - recognizing and acknowledging feelings as they happen - is at
the very heart of Emotional Intelligence. And this awareness encompasses not only moods but also
thoughts about those moods. People who are able to monitor their feelings as they arise are less likely to
be ruled by them and are thus better able to manage their emotions.

Managing emotions does not mean suppressing them; nor does it mean giving free rein to every
feeling. Psychologist Daniel Goleman, one of several authors who have popularized the notion of

Emotional Intelligence, insisted that the goal is balance and that every feeling has value and
significance. As Goleman said, "A life without passion would be a dull wasteland of neutrality, cut off
and isolated from the richness of life itself." Thus, we manage our emotions by expressing them in an
appropriate manner. Emotions can also be managed by engaging in activities that cheer us up, soothe
our hurts, or reassure us when we feel anxious.

Clearly, awareness and management of emotions are not independent. For instance, you might think
that individuals who seem to experience their feelings more intensely than others would be less able to
manage them. However, a critical component of awareness of emotions is the ability to assign meaning
to them - to know why we are experiencing a particular feeling or mood. Psychologists have found that,
among individuals who experience intense emotions, individual differences in the ability to assign
meaning to those feelings predict differences in the ability to manage them. In other words, if two
individuals are intensely angry, the one who is better able to understand why he or she is angry will also
be better able to manage the anger.

Self-motivation refers to strong emotional self-control, which enables a person to get moving and
pursue worthy goals, persist at tasks even when frustrated, and resist the temptation to act on impulse.
Resisting impulsive behavior is, according to Goleman, "the root of all emotional self-control."

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

Tomatoes are probably the most popular garden vegetable grown in the
United States. This can be attributed to their unique flavor, attractiveness,

richness as a source of vitamins C and A, and versatility as a food. The
Line popularity of peppers as a garden plant can be attributed to the same factors,

(5) although they are usually not consumed in large enough quantities to make
them an important nutritional factor in the diet.

The cultivated tomato originated in the Andes mountains of South America. It
was introduced to other areas of the world by Indians and European travelers.
Its seeds were taken to Europe, where a superstition soon arose that the tomato
(10) stimulated love. Because of this, the tomato was called the “love apple”. The first

report of the tomato in North America was in 1710, where it was grown
primarily as an ornamental plant. Early colonists brought the seeds to Virgina
and grew tomatoes in flower gardens.

Tomatoes, actually a fruit that is used as a vegetable, began gaining wide
(15) acceptance as a food plant in the United States between 1820 and 1850. Modern

plant growers have done much to improve the tomato and add to its usefulness.
Its yields have been doubled, and varieties with larger, smoother, more even
shapes and meatier pulps have been developed. The tomato is the leading crop
canned in the United States today.

(20) Peppers are also native to America and were grown by American Indian tribes
in both North and South America over 2,000 years ago. The small red hot

peppers were discovered by Columbus in the West Indies and introduced into
Europe, where they became popular before gaining widespread acceptance in
the United States. Peppers became one of the first New World foods used

(5)<div class='page_container' data-page=5>

young plants can be injured by frosts. Seasonings such as paprika and chili
(30) powder and food products such as canned pimentos are commercial uses of

garden peppers that are grown in the United States today.

The familiar spice black pepper known in households throughout the world is
the product of a trailing or climbing shrub grown in Indonesia and other hot
countries. The islands of Java and Madura furnish most of the black pepper used
(35) in American homes. The United States buys almost 25,000 tons of this spice annually.
