Section 3. Read the following passage and choose the correct answer to complete the following
passage by writing the corresponding letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet.
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 refects 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 contract 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 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.
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 wau to be
healthy is to be open to your real feelings. Alternately, the fastest way to create disease is to inhibit
your emotions.
