No educational medium better serves as a means of spatial communication than the atlas.
Atlases deal with such invaluable information as population distribution and density. One of the
best, Pennycooke's World Atlas, has been widely accepted as a standard owing to the quality of its
maps and photographs, which not only show various settlements but also portray them in a variety
of scales. In fact, the very first map in the atlas is a cleverly designed population cartogram that
projects the size of each country if geographical size were proportional to population. Following the
proportional layout, a sequence of smaller maps shows the world's population density, each
country's birth and death rates, population increase or decrease, industrialization, urbanization, gross
national product in terms of per capita income, the quality of medical care, literacy, and language.
To give readers a perspective on how their own country fits in with the global view, additional
projections depict the world's patterns in nutrition, calorie and protein consumption, health care,
number of physicians per unit of population, and life expectancy by region. Population density maps
on a sub-continental scale, as well as political maps. Convey the diverse demographic phenomena

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

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 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 way to be healthy is to be open to your real feelings. Alternately, the fastest way to create
disease is to inhibit your emotions.
