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
Tomatoes are probably the most popular garden vegetable grown in the United States This can be attributed to their unique flavor, attractiveness,
richness as a source of vitamins C and A, and versatility as a food The Line popularity of peppers as a garden plant can be attributed to the same factors, (5) although they are usually not consumed in large enough quantities to make
them an important nutritional factor in the diet
The cultivated tomato originated in the Andes mountains of South America It was introduced to other areas of the world by Indians and European travelers Its seeds were taken to Europe, where a superstition soon arose that the tomato (10) stimulated love Because of this, the tomato was called the “love apple” The first
report of the tomato in North America was in 1710, where it was grown primarily as an ornamental plant Early colonists brought the seeds to Virgina and grew tomatoes in flower gardens
Tomatoes, actually a fruit that is used as a vegetable, began gaining wide (15) acceptance as a food plant in the United States between 1820 and 1850 Modern
plant growers have done much to improve the tomato and add to its usefulness Its yields have been doubled, and varieties with larger, smoother, more even shapes and meatier pulps have been developed The tomato is the leading crop canned in the United States today
(20) Peppers are also native to America and were grown by American Indian tribes in both North and South America over 2,000 years ago The small red hot
peppers were discovered by Columbus in the West Indies and introduced into Europe, where they became popular before gaining widespread acceptance in the United States Peppers became one of the first New World foods used (25) commercially in Europe Botanists class the fruit of the bush-type garden pepper
as a berry Although most varieties of peppers produce red fruits (which are green in their immature stage), there are some yellow-fruited varieties, and peppers are of both mild and pungent types Peppers enjoy warm climates, and young plants can be injured by frosts Seasonings such as paprika and chili (30) powder and food products such as canned pimentos are commercial uses of
garden peppers that are grown in the United States today
The familiar spice black pepper known in households throughout the world is the product of a trailing or climbing shrub grown in Indonesia and other hot countries The islands of Java and Madura furnish most of the black pepper used

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
Being aware of one's own emotions - recognizing and acknowledging feelings as they happen - is at the very heart of Emotional Intelligence And this awareness encompasses not only moods but also thoughts about those moods People who are able to monitor their feelings as they arise are less likely to be ruled by them and are thus better able to manage their emotions
Managing emotions does not mean suppressing them; nor does it mean giving free rein to every feeling Psychologist Daniel Goleman, one of several authors who have popularized the notion of Emotional Intelligence, insisted that the goal is balance and that every feeling has value and significance As Goleman said, "A life without passion would be a dull wasteland of neutrality, cut off and isolated from the richness of life itself." Thus, we manage our emotions by expressing them in an appropriate manner Emotions can also be managed by engaging in activities that cheer us up, soothe our hurts, or reassure us when we feel anxious
(7)predict differences in the ability to manage them In other words, if two individuals are intensely angry, the one who is better able to understand why he or she is angry will also be better able to manage the anger
Self-motivation refers to strong emotional self-control, which enables a person to get moving and pursue worthy goals, persist at tasks even when frustrated, and resist the temptation to act on impulse Resisting impulsive behavior is, according to Goleman, "the root of all emotional self-control."
Of all the attributes of Emotional Intelligence, the ability to postpone immediate gratification and to persist in working toward some greater future gain is most closely related to success - whether one is trying to build a business, get a college degree, or even stay on a diet One researcher examined whether this trait can predict a child's success in school The study showed that 4-year-old children who can delay instant gratification in order to advance toward some future goal will be "far superior as students" when they graduate from high school than will 4-year-olds who are not able to resist the impulse to satisfy their immediate wishes
Question 71 Which of the following can we infer from paragraph 1? A Some people can understand their feelings better than others. B People who can manage their emotions will be controlled by them.

A trained people to increase their Emotional Intelligence B treated patients who had emotional problems C wrote about Emotional Intelligence
D studied how people manage their emotions
