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

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.
32/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.

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.
Diseases are a natural part of life on earth. If there were no diseases, the population would grow too
quickly, and there would not be enough food or other resources, so in a way, diseases are natural ways of
keeping the Earth in balance. But sometimes they spread very quickly and kill large numbers of people. For
example, in 1918, an outbreak of the flu spread across the world, killing over 25 million people in only six
months. Such terrible outbreaks of a disease are called pandemics.
Pandemics happen when a disease changes in a way that our bodies are not prepared to fight. In
1918, a new type of flu virus appeared. Our bodies had no way to fight this new flu virus, and so it spread
very quickly and killed large numbers of people. While there have been many different pandemic diseases
throughout history, all of them have a new thing in common.
First, all pandemic diseases spread from one person to another very easily. Second, while they may
kill many people, they generally do not kill people very quickly. A good example of this would be the
Marburg virus. The Marburg virus is an extremely infectious disease. In addition, it is deadly. About 70 -
80% of all people who get the Marburg virus died from the disease. However, the Marburg virus has not
become a pandemic because most people die within three days of getting the disease. This means that the
virus does not have enough time to spread a large number of people. The flu virus of 1918, on the other
hand, generally took about a week to ten days to kill its victims, so it had more time to spread.
While we may never be able to completely stop pandemics, we can make them less common.
Doctors carefully monitor new diseases that they fear could become pandemics. For example, in 2002, and
2003, doctors carefully watched SARS. Their health warnings may have prevented SARS from becoming a
pandemic.
