QUESTIONS 1 – 10: Read the following passage carefully and complete the sentences that follow A, B, C or D as
the correct answers.
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 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.

QUESTIONS 52 – 61: Read the passage then circle the best option A, B, C or D to complete the following
questions or statements.
Since the dawn of time, people have found ways to communicate with one another. Smoke signals and tribal
drums were some of the earliest forms of communication. Letters, carried by birds or by humans on foot or on
horseback, made it possible for people to communicate larger amounts of information between two places. The
telegram and telephone set the stage for more modern means of communication. With the invention of the cellular
phone, communication itself has become mobile.
For you, a cell phone is probably just a device that you and your friends use to keep in touch with family and
friends, take pictures, play games, or send text message. The definition of a cell phone is more specific: it is a hand-
held wireless communication device that sends and receives signals by way of small special areas called cells.
Walkie-talkies, telephones and cell phones are duplex communication devices: They make it possible for two
people to talk to each other. Cell phones and walkie-talkies are different from regular phones because they can be used
in many different locations. A walkie-talkie is sometimes called a half-duplex communication device because only one
person can talk at a time. A cell phone is a full- duplex device because it uses both frequencies at the same time. A
walkie-talkie has only one channel. A cell phone has more than a thousand channels. A walkie-talkie can transmit and
receive signals across a distance of about a mile. A cell phone can transmit and receive signals over hundreds of miles.
In 1973, an electronic company called Motorola hired Martin Cooper to work on wireless communication. Motorola
and Bell Laboratories ( now AT & T) were in a race to invent the first portable communication device. Martin Cooper
won the race and became the inventor of the cell phone. On April 3, 1973, Cooper made the first cell phone call to his
opponent at AT & T while walking down the streets of New York city. People on the sidewalks gazed at cooper in
amazement. Cooper's phone was called A Motorola Dyna-Tac. It weighed a whopping 2.5 pounds (as compared to
today's cell phones that weigh as little as 3 or 4 ounces)
After the invention of his cell phone, Cooper began thinking of ways to make the cell phone available to the
general public. After a decade, Motorola introduced the first cell phone for commercial use. The early cell phone and
its service were both expensive. The cell phone itself cost about $ 3, 500. In 1977, AT & T constructed a cell phone

A. looked with admiration B. angrily looked C. glanced D. started conversation
61. The phrase " tried it out" refers to
A. made effort to sell the cell-phone B. reported on AT& T
C. tested the cell-phone system D. introduced the cell-phone system
