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 32 to 38.

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

Clearly, awareness and management of emotions are not independent For instance, you might think that individuals who seem to experience their feelings more intensely than others

would be less able to manage them However, a critical component of awareness of emotions is

the ability to assign meaning to them - to know why we are experiencing a particular feeling or mood Psychologists have found that, among individuals who experience intense emotions, individual differences in the ability to assign meaning to those feelings 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 behaviour 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 32: The word "them" in paragraph 3 refers to .

A individuals B psychologists C intense emotions D individual differences

Question 33: In paragraph 3, the author explains the concept of awareness and management of emotions by .

A giving an example of why people get angry

B comparing how two people might respond to an intense emotion

C explaining why some people are not aware of their emotions

D describing how people learn to control their emotions

Question 34: According to paragraph 5, children might be more successful in school if they can resist impulses because they can .

A focus on their work and not get distracted B have more friends at school

C be more popular with their teachers D easily understand new information

Question 35: From paragraph 2, we can see that Daniel Goleman .

A studied how people manage their emotions

B wrote about Emotional Intelligence

C treated patients who had emotional problems

D trained people to increase their Emotional Intelligence

Question 36: The word "critical" in paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to .

A we can manage our emotions B every feeling is important

C emotions are part of a satisfying life D we should ignore some feelings

B People who can manage their emotions will be controlled by them

C Some people can understand their feelings better than others

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 39 to 45.

In this era of increased global warming and diminishing fossil fuel supplies, we must begin

to put a greater priority on harnessing alternative energy sources Fortunately, there are a

number of readily available, renewable resources that are both cost-effective and earth-friendly Two such resources are solar power and geothermal power

Solar energy, which reaches the earth through sunlight, is so abundant that it could meet

the needs of worldwide energy consumption 6,000 times over And solar energy is easily harnessed through the use of photovoltaic cells that convert sunlight into electricity In the United States alone, more than 100,000 homes are equipped with solar electric systems in the form of solar panels or solar roof tiles And in other parts of the world, including many developing countries, the use of solar systems is growing steadily

Another alternative energy source, which is abundant in specific geographical areas, is

geothermal power, which creates energy by tapping heat from below the surface of the earth Hot

water and steam that are trapped in underground pools are pumped to the surface and used to run a generator, which produces electricity Geothermal energy is 50,000 times more abundant than the entire known supply of fossil fuel resources And as with solar power, the technology needed to utilize geothermal energy is fairly simple A prime example of effective geothermal use

is in Iceland, a region of high geothermal activity, where over 80 percent of private homes are heated by geothermal power

Solar and geothermal energy are just two of a number of promising renewable alternatives

to conventional energy sources The time is long overdue to invest in the development and use of alternative energy on a global scale

Question 39: The word”tapping” is synonymous with .

Question 40: According to the passage, why should we consider using alternative energy sources?

A Because conventional energy sources are being depleted, and they cause environmental damage

Question 41: According to the passage, what can be inferred about solar roof tiles?

A They can convert geothermal power to electricity

B They contain photovoltaic cells

C They are more expensive than solar panels

D They are being used in many undeveloped countries

Question 42: What is the main topic of this passage?

A Two types of alternative energy sources that should be further utilized

B Examples of the use of energy sources worldwide

C The benefits of solar and wind power over conventional energy sources

D How energy resources are tapped from nature

Question 43: According to the passage, which of the following is true about solar power?

A It is being used in 100,000 private homes worldwide.

B It is 6,000 times more powerful than energy from fossil fuels

C There is enough of it to far exceed the energy needs of the world

D There is very little of it available in Iceland
