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.
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.
Question 20: What is the main idea of the passage?
A. Emotions and colors are closely related to each other.
B. Colorful clothes can change your mood.
C. Colors can help you become healthy.
D. Colors are one of the most exciting.
Question 21: Which of the following can be affected by color?
A. Your appetite. B. Your friend's feelings.
C. Your mood. D. Your need for thrills.
Question 22: Who is more influenced by colors you wear?
A. Anyone. B. The people around you are more influenced.
C. You are more influenced. D. Your family.
Question 23: According to the passage, what do color, sound, and emotion all have in common?
A. They are all related to health. B. They are all forms of motion.
C. They all affect the cells of the body. D. None is correct.
Question 24: According to this passage, what creates disease?
A. Ignoring your emotions. B. Exposing yourself to bright colors.
C. Being open to your emotions. D. Wearing the color black.

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.
The New York Times is a daily newspaper published in New York City. For a long time, it
has been a newspaper of record in the United State and one of the world’s great newspapers. Its
strength is in its editorial excellence; it has never been the largest newspaper in terms of
circulation.
The Times was established in 1851 as a penny paper whose editors wanted to report the news in
a restrained and objective fashion. It enjoyed early success as its editors set a pattern for the
future by appealing to a cultured, intellectual readership instead of a mass audience. However, in
the late nineteenth century, it came into competition with more popular, colorful, if not lurid,
newspapers in New York City. Their publishers ran sensational stories, not because they were
true, but because they sold newspapers. Despite price increases, the time was losing £1,000 a
week when Adolph Simon Ochs bought it in 1896.
Ochs built the Times into an internationally respected daily. He hired Carr Van Anda as
editor. Van Anda placed greater stress than ever on full reporting of the news of the day, and his
reporters maintained and emphasized existing good coverage of international news. The
management of the paper decided to eliminate fiction from the paper, added a Sunday magazine
section, and reduced the paper’s price back to a penny. In April 1912, the paper took many risks
to report every aspect of the sinking of the Titanic. This greatly enhanced its prestige, and in its
coverage of two world wars, the Times continued to enhance its reputation for excellence in
world news.
In 1971, the Times was given a copy of the so-called “Pentagon Papers,” a secret
government study of U.S. involvement in the Vietnam war. When it published the report, it
became involved in several lawsuits. The U.S. Supreme Court found that the publication was
protected by the freedom-of-the-press clause in the First Amendment of the U.S Constitution.
Later in the 1970s, the paper, under Adolph Ochs’s grandson, Arthur Ochs Sulzberger, introduced
sweeping changes in the organization of the newspaper and its staff and brought out a national
edition transmitted by satellite to regional printing plants.

Question 34: According to the passage, the Times has a national edition that is__________
A. protected by the Supreme Court.
B. printed in the form of a Sunday magazine.
C. shipped by train and air transport daily.
D. transmitted by satellite to regional printing plants.
Question 35: What is the main idea of the passage?
A. The New York Times publishes the best fiction by American writers.
B. The New York Times became highly respected throughout the world.
C. The New York Times broadcasts its news to TV stations via satellite.
D. The New York Times lost its prestige after the Vietnam War.
Question 36: It can be inferred from the passage that the circulation of the Times is
A. not the largest in the world. B. not the best in the world.
C. the smallest in the world. D. the worst in the world.
