COLOURS AND EMOTIONS
 Colours 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?
 Colour directly affects your emotions. Colour both reflects the current state of your emotions, and is something that you can use to improve or change your emotions. The colour that you choose to wear either reflects your current state of being, or reflects the colour or emotion that you need.
 The colours 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 colour all day! I even choose items around me based on their colour. In the morning, I choose my clothes based on the colour or emotion I need for the day. So you can consciously use colour to control the emotions that you are exposed to, which can help you to feel better.
 Colour, 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.

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 43 to 50.
 In the West, cartoons are used chiefly to make people laugh. The important feature of all these cartoons is the joke and the element of surprise which is contained. Even though it is very funny, a good cartoon is always based on close observation of a particular feature of life and usually has a serious purpose.
 Cartoons in the West have been associated with political and social matters for many years. In war time, for example, they proved to be an excellent way of spreading propaganda. Nowadays, cartoons are often used to make short, sharp comments on politics and governments as well as on a variety of social matters. In this way, the modern cartoon has become a very powerful force in influencing people in Europe and the United States.
 Unlike most American and European cartoons, however, many Chinese cartoon drawings in the past have also attempted to educate people, especially those who could not read and write. Such cartoons about the lives and sayings of great men in China have proved extremely useful in bringing education to illiterate and semi-literate people throughout China. Confucius, Mencius and Laozi have all appeared in very interesting stories presented in the form of cartoons. The cartoons themselves have thus served to illustrate the teachings of the Chinese sages in a very attractive way.
 In this sense, many Chinese cartoons are different from Western cartoons in so far as they do not depend chiefly on telling jokes. Often, there is nothing to laugh at when you see Chinese cartoons. This is not their primary aim. In addition to commenting on serious political and social matters, Chinese cartoons have aimed at spreading the traditional Chinese thoughts and culture as widely as possible among the people.
 Today, however, Chinese cartoons have an added part to play in spreading knowledge. They offer a very attractive and useful way of reaching people throughout the world, regardless of the particular country in which they live. Thus, through cartoons, the thoughts and teachings of the old Chinese philosophers and sages can now reach people who live in such countries as Britain, France, America, Japan, Malaysia or Australia and who are unfamiliar with the Chinese culture.
 Until recently, the transfer of knowledge and culture has been overwhelmingly | from the West to the East and not vice versa. By means of cartoons, however, publishing companies in Taiwan, Hong Kong and Singapore are now having success in correcting this imbalance between the East and the West.
 Cartoons can overcome language barriers in all foreign countries. The vast increase in the popularity of these cartoons serves to illustrate the truth of Confucius's famous saying "One picture is worth a thousand words."
Question 43: Which of the following could be the best title for the passage?
A. Cartoons as a Way of Educating People	B. An Excellent Way of Spreading Propaganda
C. A Very Powerful Force in Influencing People	D. Chinese Cartoons and Western Cartoons
Question 44: The word "imbalance" in paragraph 6 refers to.........
A. the influence of the East cartoons over the West cartoons
B. the discrimination between the West culture and the East culture
C. the dominant cultural influence of the West over the East
D. the mismatch between the East cartoons and the West cartoons
Question 45: Which of the following is most likely the traditional subject of Chinese cartoons?
A. The stories and features of the lives of great men the world over.
B. The philosophies and sayings of ancient Chinese thinkers.
C. The illiterate and semi-literate people throughout China.
D. Jokes and other kinds of humour in political and social matters.
Question 46: The pronoun "This" in paragraph 4 mostly refers to.......
A. a piece of art	B. a funny element	C. a propaganda campaign	D. an educational purpose
Question 47: According to the passage, which of the following is true?
A. Cartoons can serve various purposes.	B. Language barriers restricted cartoons.
C. Western cartoons always have a serious purpose.	D. Cartoons will replace other forms of writing. 
Question 48: The major differences between Chinese cartoons and Western cartoons come from their.......
A. nationalities	B. styles	C. values	D. purposes
Question 49: Which of the following clearly characterizes Western cartoons?
A. Humour, unexpectedness, and criticism.	B. Originality, freshness, and astonishment.
C. Enjoyment, liveliness, and carefulness.	D. Seriousness, propaganda, and attractiveness.
Question 50: Chinese cartoons have been useful as an important means of.......
A. amusing people all the time	B. educating ordinary people
C. political propaganda in war time	D. spreading Western ideas
