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

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 following questions
The response of most animals when suddenly faced with a predator is to flee. Natural selection has acted in a variety of ways in different species to enhancethe efficacy of the behaviors, known as "flight behaviors" or escape behaviors that are used by prey in fleeing predators. Perhaps the most direct adaptation is enhanced light speed and agility.
Adaptations for speed, however, are likely to require sacrifices biter attributes, so we might expect only some species to adopt a simple fast flight strategy.
Another way of enhancing the effectiveness of flight is to move in an erratic and unpredictable way. Many species, like ptarmigans, snipes, and various antelopes and gazelles, flee from predators in a characteristic zigzag fashion. Rapid unexpected changes in flight direction make it difficult for a predator to track prey.
In some species, like the European hare, erratic zigzagflight might be more effective in the presence of predators that are faster than they are and straight light more effective against predators that are slower. One observation that supports this suggestion is the recorded tendency for slow-flying black-beaded gulls, which are normally able to escape predators by means of direct flight, to show frequent changes in flight direction when they spot a peregrine falcon (peregrinesare adept at capturing flying birds).
A quite different way of enhancing escape by flight is to use so-called "flash" behavior. Here, the alarmedprey flees for a short distance and then "freezes." Some predators are unexcited by immobile prey, and a startling flash of activity followed by immobility may confuse them. "Flash" behavior is used in particularby frogs and orthopteraninsects, which make conspicuous jumps and then sit immobile. In some species, "flash" behavior is enhanced by the display of bright body markings. Good examples of insects with colorful markings are the red and yellow underwing moths. At rest, both species are a cryptic brown color. When they fly, however, brightly colored hind wings are exposed, which render the moths highly conspicuous. Similarly, some frogs and lizards have brightly colored patches or frills that may serve a 'flash" function when they move quickly. Some species even appear to possess "flash" sounds. The loud buzzing and clicking noises made by some grasshoppers when they jump may serve to emphasize the movement.
55. The word "enhance" is closest in meaning to_____.
A. encourage B. increase C. resist D. reveal
56. The description of the prey's movement as "zigzag" suggests that the movement is_____.
A. reliable B. fast C. constant D. unpredictable

C. is more likely to escape using straight flight D. is capable of two kinds of flight
58. The behaviour of black-beaded gulls is most comparable to that of_____.
A. European hares B. gazelles C. peregrine falcons D. frogs
59. It can be inferred that black-beaded gulls change direction when they spot a peregrine falcon for which of the following reasons?
A. The falcons are faster than the gulls. B. The falcons are unpredictable.
C. The gulls want to capture the falcons.D. The gulls depend on the falcons for protection.
60. The word "alarmed" is closest in meaning to_____.
A. frightened B. moving C. selected D. exhausted
