DON’T WORRY IN SILENCE

When we are young, sometimes the hardest thing about feelings is actually sharing them with others,though, I realise now, it is certainly worth making the effort to do so Sharing with others helps us to share the load,

as it were

It was not until much later, looking back over my childhood, that I realised that the first step in sharing was

to identify what feelings I actually had! Making a list of them seemed to help Was I happy or was I sad? Was it allemotion experienced only at that particular time or did I tend to feel like that all the time?

My problem was that I had not realised that some fears are quite acceptable and even helpful at times,while others can actually get in the way of enjoying everyday things such as learning, playing with a friend orexperiencing for the first time the change from Primary to Secondary level This is when I really should have had achat with my parents instead of holding it all inside, as they would have been able to lessen my anxiety aboutmoving up

There were times when my anxiety would also be accompanied by a headache, a stomachache or dizziness

My grandmother used to tell me that there is a certain part of the brain that controls that fight or flight feeling Not

that I had any idea what she was talking about as I must have been only about knee-high at the time!

I recall a small group of us feeling uncomfortable at the idea of meeting new teachers or moving up to the

“big” school That kind of discomfort at such an age is natural when faced with something new Better late thannever, I realised that being shy is not such a bad thing Nobody actually sets out to be like that, it just happensnaturally I understood quite quickly that the key to shyness is just to be yourself No matter the age, it’s healthy toget things off your chest! In fact, I quickly found that some of my friends had the same feelings and became quitehappy to share their secrets Sometimes, just inviting a shy child to join in a game a couple of times helped them toget over their feelings of shyness

There were other times when I felt sad about leaving Primary school, but then again, it was one of the manynormal emotions or moods we have all experienced during that period of change Unhappiness was the emotion Ifelt when I had to say goodbye to certain dear friends It made me feel like crying, though even crying made mefeel better as tears slowly washed away the negative emotions When the sadness started to disappear, it felt as if aheavy weight had been lifted from my shoulders

I now realise at the tender age of twenty- eight that, even though, there might sometimes seem to be noreason to look on the bright side of life, for every bad there is a good Also, having friends who think optimisticallycan help you get on your feet again and move forward onto a more positive path

Question 66 What do youngsters find most difficult to do?

C to tell others how they feel D to accept help from others

Question 67 What was the writer’s first move towards sharing her feelings?

4

A to decide which particular feelings she had

B to finish writing her lists of feelings

C to look back over the years

D to ask people questions about her feelings

Question 68 What the writer finally realised about fears is that

C some are more helpful than others D it is better to hold them inside

Question 69 What does the writer mean by “knee-high”?

Question 70 According to the writer, what is the best way to handle shyness?

A to realise that it is uncomfortable B to realise that age matters

C to understand that it is unhealthy D to be your usual self

Question 71 When the writer’s sadness began to disappear, she felt _

C more positive about life D more emotional about life

Question 72 The writer realises now for the first time that

A there is always a reason to look on the bright side B she has optimistic friends

C you can get on your feet again your self D it’s difficult to tell good from bad

Questions 41 - 50 :

8

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

As a result, at the onset of World War I, the spirit and substance of American

literature had evolved remarkably, just as its center of production had shifted from

Boston to New York in the late 1880s and the sources of its energy to Chicago and

the Midwest No longer was it produced, at least in its popular forms, in the main by

solemn, typically moralistic men from New England and the Old South; no longer were polite, well-dressed, grammatically correct, middle-class young people the only central characters in its narratives; no longer were these narratives to be set in

exotic places and remote times; no longer, indeed, were fiction, poetry, drama,

and formal history the chief acceptable forms of literary expression; no longer, finally, was literature read primarily by young, middle class women

In sum, American literature in these years fulfilled in considerable measure the

condition Walt Whitman called for in 1867 in describing Leaves of Grass: it treats,

he said of his own major work, each state and region as peers "and expands from them, and includes the world connecting an American citizen with the citizens of all nations." At the same time, these years saw the emergence of what has been designated "the literature of argument," powerful works in sociology, philosophy, psychology, many of them impelled by the spirit of exposure and reform Just as America learned to play a role in this half century as an autonomous international political, economic, and military power, so did its literature establish itself as a producer of major works.

(A) became famous (B) turned back (C) changed (D) diminished

42 The word it in line 9 refers to

(C) To wind down his argument (D) To show a favorable attitude to these forms of literature

44 The word exotic in line 12 is closest in meaning to _

45 The phrase these years in line 16 refers to _

(A) the present (B) the 1900s (C) the early 1800s (D) 1850-1900

46 All of the following can be inferred from the passage about the new literature EXCEPT

(A) It was not highly regarded internationally

(B) It broke with many literary traditions of the past

(C) It introduced new American themes, characters, and settings

(D) It spoke to the issue of reform and change

47 It can be inferred from lines 1-3 that the previous passage probably discussed _ (A) the limitations of American literature to this time

(B) the importance of tradition to writers

48 It can be inferred from the passage that Walt Whitman _

(A) disliked urban life (C) was an international diplomat

(B) wrote Leaves of Grass (D) was disapproving of the new literature

49 The main idea of this passage is

(A) that the new American literature was less provincial than the old

(B) that most people were wary of the new literature

(C) that World War I caused a dramatic change in America

(D) that centers of culture shifted from East to West

50 This passage would probably be read in which of the following academic courses?

(A) International affairs (B) Current events (C) American literature (D) European history

be true, and there are plenty of statistics dealing with health and prosperity which prove that it is not true, why is it that we all have a (58) - to idealize the past ? Is this simply nostalgia? Or

is it rather that we need to believe in an image of the world which is (59) - the opposite of what we see around us? Whichever it is, at least it leaves us with a nagging feeling that the present could be better, and perhaps (60) - us to be a little more critical about the way we live

Most body plants grow bigger and stronger, and function more efficiently during childhood They reach their peak at the time of maturity, or early adulthood After that they begin to decline Bones, for example, gradually become lighter and more brittle.

rates There are great differences among people in their rate of aging Even the cells

of the body differ in the way they age The majority of cells are capable of reproducing themselves many times during the course of a lifetime Nerve cells and muscle fibers can never be replaced once they wear out

Gerontologists - scientists who study the process of aging - believe the wearing out

of the body is controlled by a built - in biological time - clock They are trying to discover how this clock works so that they can slow down the process This could give man a longer life and a great number of productive years

Reading passage:

As heart disease continues to be the number-one killer in the United States, researchers have become

increasingly interested in identifying the potential risk factors that trigger heart attacks High-fat diets and "life in the fast lane" have long been known to contribute to the high incidence of heart failure But

according to new studies, the list of risk factors may be significantly longer and quite surprising

Heart failure, for example, appears to have seasonal and temporal patterns A higher percentage of

heart attacks occur in cold weather, and more people experience heart failure on Monday than on any

other day of the week In addition, people are more susceptible to heart attacks in the first few hours after waking Cardiologists first observed this morning phenomenon in the mid-1980, and have since

discovered a number of possible causes An early-morning rise in blood pressure, heart rate, andconcentration of heart stimulating hormones, plus a reduction of blood flow to the heart, may allcontribute to the higher incidence of heart attacks between the hours of 8:00 A.M and 10:00 A.M

In other studies, both birthdays and bachelorhood have been implicated as risk factors Statisticsreveal that heart attack rates increase significantly for both females and males in the few daysimmediately preceding and following their birthdays And unmarried men are more at risk for heartattacks than their married counterparts Though stress is thought to be linked in some way to all of theaforementioned risk factors, intense research continues in the hope of further comprehending why andhow heart failure is triggered

46 What does the passage mainly discuss?

(A) cardiology in the 1980s

(B) seasonal and temporal patterns of heart attacks

(C) risk factors in heart attacks

(D) diet and stress as factors in heart attacks

47 In line 2, the word "potential" could best be re-placed by which of the following?

(A) harmful (B) possible (C) unknown (D) primary

48 The word "trigger" as used in line 2 is closest in meaning to which of the following?

(A) involve (B) affect (C) cause (D) encounter

49 Which of the following could best replace the word "incidence" as used in line 3?

(A) increase (B) rate (C) factor (D) chance

50 The author uses the word "temporal" in line 6 to mean

(A) affected by (B) of a certain date (C) regularly (D) expected

51 The phrase "susceptible to" in line 8 could best be replaced by

(A) aware of (B) prone to (C) accustomed (D) affected by

52 According to the passage, which of the following is NOT a possible cause of many heart attacks? (A) decreased blood flow to the heart (B) increase in hormones

(C) lower heart rate (D) increased blood pressure

53 The word "phenomenon" in line 9 refers to which of the following?

(A) habit (B) activity (C) occurrence (D) illness

54 Which of the following is NOT cited as a possible risk factor?

(A) getting married (B) having a birthday

(C) eating fatty foods (D) being under stress

55 Which of the following does the passage infer?

(A) We now fully understand how risk factors trigger heart attacks

(B) We do not fully understand how risk factors trigger heart attacks

16

(C) We have not identified many risk factors associated with heart attacks.

(D) We recently began to study how risk factors trigger heart attacks

how to respond to them Emotions have evolved to help us respond to important situations

and to convey our intentions to others But does raising the eyebrows and rounding themouth say the same thing in Minneapolis as it does in Madagascar? Much research onemotional expressions has centered on such questions

in people’s behavior From their first days of life, babies produce facial expressions thatcommunicate their feelings

The ability to read facial expressions develops early, too Very young children pay closeattention to facial expressions, and by age five, they nearly equal adults in their skill at

reading emotions on people’s faces This evidence all points to a biological underpinning for

our abilities to express and interpret a basic set of human emotions Moreover, as CharlesDarwin pointed out over a century ago, some emotional expressions seem to appear acrossspecies boundaries Cross - cultural psychologists tell us that certain emotional responsescarry different meanings in different cultures For example, what emotion do you supposemight be conveyed by sticking out your tongue? For Americans, this might indicate disgust,while in China it can signify surprise Likewise, a grin on an American face may indicate joy,while on a Japanese face it may just as easily mean embarrassment Clearly, cultureinfluences emotional expressions

Question 46: The basic elements of public-opinion research are interviewers, questionnaires,

22

anyone who's ever been, the show's statistics are extraordinary: nearly 300 million people have seen Holiday onIce since it began in 1943; it is the most popular live entertainment in the world.

But what does the production involve? And why are so many people prepared to spend their lives travellinground Europe in caravans in order to appear in it? It can't be glamorous, and it's undoubtedly hard work Thebackstage atmosphere is an odd mix of gym class and workplace A curtained-off section at the back of the arena

is laughably referred to as the girls' dressing room, but is more accurately described as a corridor, with beige,cracked walls and cheap temporary tables set up along the length of it Each girl has a small area littered with pots

of orange make-up, tubes of mascara and long false eyelashes

As a place to work, it must rank pretty low down the scale: the area round the ice-rink is grey and mucky with rows ofdirty blue and brown plastic seating and red carpet tiles It's an unimpressive picture, but the show itself is anunquestionably vast, polished global enterprise: the lights come from a firm in Texas, the people who make theaudio system are in California, but Montreal supplies the smoke effects; former British Olympic skater RobinCousins is now creative director for the company and conducts a vast master class to make sure they're ready forthe show's next performance

The next day, as the music blares out from the sound system, the cast start to go through their routines underCousins' direction Cousins says, The aim is to make sure they're all still getting to exactly the right place on the ice

at the right time - largely because the banks of lights in the ceiling are set to those places, and if the skaters are allhalf a metre out they'll be illuminating empty ice Our challenge,' he continues, 'is to produce something they cansell in a number of countries at the same time My theory is that you take those things that people want to see andyou give it to them, but not in the way they expect to see it You try to twist it And you have to find music that ischallenging to the skaters, because they have to do it every night.'

It may be a job which he took to pay the rent, but you can't doubt his enthusiasm 'The only place you'll seecertain skating moves is an ice show,' he says, 'because you're not allowed to do them in competition It's not in therules So the ice show world has things to offer which the competitive world just doesn't.' Cousins knows what he'stalking about because he skated for the show himself when he stopped competing - he was financially unable toretire He learnt the hard way that you can't put on an Olympic performance every night 'I'd be thinking, these peoplehave paid their money, now do your stuff, and I suddenly thought, "I really can't cope I'm not enjoying it".' Thesolution, he realised, was to give 75 per cent every night, rather than striving for the sort of twice-a-year excellencewhich won him medals

To be honest, for those of us whose only experience of ice-skating is watching top-class Olympic skaters, some

of the movements can look a bit amateurish, but then, who are we to judge? Equally, it's impossible not to be swept

up in the whole thing; well, you'd have to try pretty hard not to enjoy it

Question 51: According to paragraph 1 the writer is surprised to see that although Holiday on Ice is popular

A people often prefer other types of show

B people prefer to see a film, the ballet, or the circus

C most people consider it as a holiday

D few people know someone who has seen it

Question 52: From the phrase "it must rank pretty low down the scale" in paragraph 3 we can infer that

A Holiday on Ice has rather poor working condition B Holiday on Ice has a very dirty place to work

C skaters do not enjoy working in this place D skaters do not earn much money from the job

Question 53: Which of the following adjectives can be used to describe the backstage area?

Question 54: It is mentioned in paragraph 3 that .

A many companies are involved in the production B it is difficult to find suitable equipment

C the show needs financial support D the show has been staged in many places

Question 55: For Robin Cousins, the aim of the rehearsal is .

A to keep in time with the music B to adjust the spotlights

C to be acquainted with the stage D to position the skaters on the ice

Question 56: Cousins's theory on how to produce shows for different audiences is that .

A he adapts movements to suit everyone B he selects suitable music

C he presents performances in an unexpected way D he varies the routines every night

Question 57: It is suggested in paragraph 5 that skating in shows .

A enables skaters to visit a variety of places B is as competitive as other forms of skating

C can be particularly well paid D allows skaters to try out original skating moves

Question 58: The pronoun "them" in paragraph 5 refers to

C some live performances D certain ice shows

Question 59: The phrase "the hard way" in paragraph 5 most likely means

C through personal experience D through doing things again and again

Question 60: Which of the following is the writer's conclusion of Holiday on Ice?

A Olympic ice-skating is more enjoyable than Holiday on Ice.

B Everyone should enjoy watching Holiday on Ice.

C Holiday on Ice requires more skills than Olympic ice-skating.

D It is hard to know who really enjoys Holiday on Ice.

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 61 to 70.

Being aware of one’s own emotions – recognizing and acknowledging feelings as they happen – is at the veryheart of Emotional Intelligence And this awareness encompasses not only moods but also thoughts about thosemoods People who are able to monitor their feelings as they arise are less likely to be ruled by them and are thusbetter 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 withoutpassion would be a dull wasteland of neutrality, cut off and isolated from the richness of life itself.” Thus, wemanage 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 thatindividuals 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 experienceintense 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 impulsivebehavior is, according to Goleman, “the root of all emotional self-control.”

Of all the attributes of Emotional Intelligence, the ability to postpone immediate gratification and to persist inworking toward some greater future gain is most closely related to success – whether one is trying to build abusiness, get a college degree, or even stay on a diet One researcher examined whether this trait can predict achild’s success in school The study showed that 4-year-old children who can delay instant gratification in order toadvance toward some future goal will be “far superior as students” when they graduate from high school than will 4-year-olds who are not able to resist the impulse to satisfy their immediate wishes

Question 61: Which of the following can we infer from paragraph 1?

A If people pay attention to their feelings, they will not be able to manage them.

B If people pay attention to their feelings, they can control their emotions better.

C People who can manage their emotions will be controlled by them.

D Some people can understand their feelings better than others.
