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 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.
Question 30: What is the main idea of the passage?
A. Emotions and colors are closely related to each other.
B. Colors are one of the most exciting experiences in life.
C. Colorful clothes can change your mood.
D. Colors can help you become more influenced.
Question 31: The term “intimately” in paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to___________.
A. clearly B. obviously C. closely D. simply
Question 32: Who is more influenced by the color you wear?
A. You yourself B. The people around
C. The clothes designer D. Your family Question 33: The term “they” in paragraph 3 refers to___________.
A. people B. colors C. emotions D. none of the above
Question 34: According to this passage, what creates disease?
A. wearing the black color B. being open to your emotions C. ignoring your emotions D. exposing yourself to bright color
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 35 to 42.
Nowadays, it is an accepted fact that our position in the family - that is, whether we’re an oldest child, a middle child, a youngest child, or an only child - is possibly the strongest influence there is on our character and personality. So what influence does it have?
Firstborn children often have to look after their younger brothers and sisters, so they’re usually sensible and responsible as adults. They also tend to be ambitious and they make good leaders. On the negative side, oldest children can be insecure and anxious. This is because when the second child is bom, they lost some of their parents’ attention, and maybe they felt rejected.
Middle children are more relaxed than the oldest children, probably because their parents were more relaxed themselves by the time the second child arrived. They’re usually very sociable - the kind of people who get on with everybody. They are also usually sensitive to what other people need because they grew up between older and younger brothers and sisters. For the same reason, they’re often quite good at sorting out arguments, and they’re always sympathetic to the ones on the losing sides, or in general, to people who are having problems. On the other hand, middle children can sometimes be unambitious, and they can lack direction in life.
Youngest children are often very outgoing and charming. This is the way they try to get the attention of both their parents and their older brothers and sisters. They are often more rebellious, and this is probably
173 because it’s easier for them to break the rules - by the time they were bom, their parents were more relaxed about discipline. They can also be immature and disorganized, and they often depend too much on other people, because they have always been the baby of the family.
Only children usually do well at school because they have a lot of contact with adults. They get a lot of love and attention from their parents, so they’re typically self-confident. They’re also independent, as they spend too much time by themselves. And because they spend a lot of time with adults, they’re often very organized. Only children can sometimes be spoilt because they are given everything they ask for by their parents. They can also be quite selfish and get impatient, especially when things go wrong. This is because they’ve never had to sort out problems with other brothers and sisters.
Question 35: What is the passage mainly about?
A. A person’s position in the family matters B. Number of children in today’s family C. How birth order influences personalities D. Characteristics of children in modem family

A. because they have to look after their younger siblings
B. because their parents are more sympathetic by the time they were bom C. because they have a lot of contact with both their younger and older siblings
D. because they had been the babies of the family before their younger siblings were born.
Question 38: Which of the following is the characteristic of youngest children?
A. mature B. organized C. outgoing D. independent
Question 39: The word “rebellious” in paragraph 4 is closest in meaning to__________.
A. disciplined B. disobedient C. respectful D. well-behaved Question 40: Who tend to be self-confident?
A. Oldest children B. Middle children C. Youngest children D. Only children Question 41: Which of the following is NOT true?
A. Youngest children break the rules more often.
B. Oldest and middle children are equally ambitious.
C. Oldest children may feel rejected as they grow up.
