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 36 to 42.
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.

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.
Flying Drones into Danger Zones
A plane is sent deep into the enemy territory with a deadly mission. It is assigned to eliminate several key
targets with a precision bombing campaign. This mission won’t be easy, however, as to be successful, the plane will
have to avoid enemy rockets and tank fire. There will be no risk to the life of the “pilot” of the plane because he will
not be able to aboard the vessel. Instead, he will be thousands of miles away inside a control tower, as he is operating
a drone.
 Drones, which are also called UVAs or unmanned aerial vehicles, marked a major step forward in technology.
Inventors have been working on them since the early 1900s. Although some devices were designed back then, they
weren't able to do much more than a standard model airplane. In fact, it was not until a US plane was shot down in
1959 during the Cold War that the US military really got serious about drones. The aim was to save pilots’ lives while
flying over hazardous territories.
Drones usually fall into two categories. The first type of drones relies on human control from a remote
location. The second type of drones is preprogrammed with computer instructions, and it then completes its mission
operating autonomously. In addition to protecting pilots’ lives, drones also have several other advantages. They can
stay in the air for longer periods of time because there is no concern for eating, sleeping, or rest breaks that pilots
typically require. Drones can also be produced cheaper since manufacturers don’t need to value safety precautions as
they would for aircraft flown by humans.
Despite their usefulness, military drones have been the cause of great criticism over the past decade. There
have been cases of British and American drones missing their targets and killing innocent civilians instead. The
Brookings Institution released a statistic that for every military leader who is killed by a drone strike, ten civilians die.
Some suggest that if human pilots were flying these planes, they wouldn’t have made these errors. Drones don’t
always have targets that they must eliminate. The military also employs special surveillance drones that use long-
range cameras to gather information about buildings, enemy soldier formations, and other vital information from the
ground. In the end, whether people are for or against the use of drones, it appears that they are certain here to stay.

Question 43. How are drones mainly different from regular planes?
A. They have been around for longer. B. They don’t use any gasoline at all.
C. They don’t need a pilot inside the plane. D. They fly at much faster speed than other planes.
Question 44. What happened in 1959?
A. The first drone flight was made. B. Russia destroyed an American drone.
C. World War II finally came to an end. D. An American plane was shot down in Russia.

A. suspecting B. collecting C. flying D. monitoring
Question 46. What is an advantage that drones have over normal planes?

C. They are equipped with more powerful weapons. D. They can be used for military operations.
Question 47. Drones are used for all of the following tasks EXCEPT ___.
A. to eliminate key military targets in a bombing campaign
B. to kill military leaders of the enemy
C. to gather information about the enemy
D. to monitor innocent civilians in order not to kill them

C. They are harming innocent people. D. They have started wars in foreign countries.

D. to be used for several civilian or military purposes
