THE POWER OF COLOUR

  Early humans saw a variety of natural colours around them, from the browns and greens of the soil and plants to the deep blues and red of the sky. They painted their bodies with colours from nature to signal aggression towards an enemy, or to make themselves attractive to a mate.

  A girl and a rainbow of crushed ice flavours at Chowpatty Beach, India. Over the centuries, the sources of colours such as blue, purple and red were highly valued and they were often worth as much as gold. In the 19th  century, a young chemistry student manufactured the first synthetic dye, and suddenly the world became a much more colourful place, in the 20th century, scientists discovered the psychological effects of colours, and people found ways to use this discovery to influence our feelings and behaviour.

  RED

  Red, the colour of blood, symbolises fire, love and anger. In Eastern cultures, people believe it brings luck, wealth

and success. In humans, the colour red can send different messages. Some people redden, for example, when they are angry or embarrassed. Researchers have discovered that in sports the team that is wearing red is more likely to win. Why? Because red seems to be the colour that signals dominance, giving those dressed in red an advantage in sporting events. In many animal species (including humans), contact with this bold colour causes the heart rate to Increase. However, one of red's lighter shades, pink, can have the opposite effect on people. Men in prisons are less aggressive when the walls are a specific shade of pink.

  YELLOW

  Yellow, the colour that comes to mind when we think of sunshine, is found throughout nature and the man-made world as a colour that commands attention; indeed, it is one of the easiest colours to see. This highly visible shade is found on everything from school buses to traffic signs and pens that we use to highlight important information in a text. The colour is also used to caution people; football players, for example, are shown a yellow card as a reminder to behave. It can be used as a stimulant as well: in a number of studies, yellow has been found to help children focus on their work and do better at school.

  BLUE

  Blue, the colour of the sky and sea, is associated in many cultures with water, religious objects, and protection against evil. Its darker shades represent calm, stability and power. Dark blue, for example, is the colour of the business suit or police uniform; it tells others, 'I am in control,' or 'I am trustworthy.' Blue is aiso associated with sadness. It's common in English, for example, when you are feeling sad or depressed, to talk about 'feeling blue,' while in Iran, blue is the colour of mourning, worn when a person dies.

  Like pink, blue has a calming effect on people. Rooms painted blue help people to relax or sleep. Sleeping pills are often coloured blue to suggest exactly this idea. This colour also seems to reduce feelings of hunger. Blue food is rarely seen in nature, and when it is, such food is usually no longer healthy to consume. It's just one more example of the power that colour can hold over us.                                                                                                            (Source: Close-Up, B1+, Pearson, 2014)

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 primary school, a child is in a comparatively simple setting and most of the time forms a relationship with one familiar teacher. On entering secondary school, a new world opens up and frequently it is a much more difficult world. The pupil soon learns to be less in the way he speaks to teachers and even to his fellow pupils. He begins to lose gradually the free and easy ways of the primary school, for he senses the need for a more cautions approach in the secondary school where there are older pupils. Secondary staff and pupils suffer from the pressures of academic work and seem to have less time to stop and talk. Teachers with specialist roles may see hundreds of children in week and a pupil may be able to form relationships with very few of the staff.

   He has to decide which adults are approachable; good schools will make clear to every young person from the first year what guidance and personal help is available- but whether the reality of life in the institution actually encourages requests for help is another matter.

   Adults often forget what a confusing picture school can offer to a child. He sees a great deal of movement, a great number of people-often rather frightening looking people- and realises that an increasing number of choices and decisions have to be made. As he progresses through the school the confusion may become less but the choices and decisions required will increase. The school will rightly expect the pupil to take the first steps to obtain the help he needs, for this is the pattern of adult life for which he has to be prepared, but all the time the opportunities for personal and group advice must be presented in a way which makes them easy to understand and within easy reach of pupils.

Question 43: The teachers at secondary school do not talk much to the pupils because........

A. they want to keep a certain distance with the pupils B. they are too busy with their academic work

C. it is the regulation of the school D. the pupils are afraid of them

Question 44: In this passage about secondary schools, the author is mainly concerned about........

A. the training of the individual teachers B. academic standards

C. the personal development of pupils D. the role of specialist teachers

Question 45: In secondary schools, every pupil having problems should........

A. know how to ask for help B. be able to discuss his problems in class

C. be freed from any pressure of academic work D. be able to discuss his problems with any teacher

Question 46: The word "adults" in the second paragraph refers to........

A. the teachers and pupils at secondary school. B. the staff at secondary school

C. the secondary pupils parents D. the pupils at secondary school

Question 47: How many pupils do teachers see in a week?

A. Many pupils B. One pupil C. Hundreds of pupils D. A few of pupils

Question 48: What will the school rightly expect the pupils to do?

A. they think carefully  B. they understand well

C. they study hard  D. they firstly obtain the help

Question 49: Who do the pupils make relationship with?

A. Other parents B. Other pupils C. A few of the staff D. Few of the staff

Question 50: According to the passage one of the problems for pupils entering secondary school is that........

A. the teachers do not want to be friendly

B. they are taught by many different teachers

C. they do not attend lessons in every subject

D. the teachers give most attention to the more academic pupils

   In the primary school, a child is in a comparatively simple setting and most of the time forms a relationship with one familiar teacher. On entering secondary school, a new world opens up and frequently it is a much more difficult world. The pupil soon learns to be less in the way he speaks to teachers and even to his fellow pupils. He begins to lose gradually the free and easy ways of the primary school, for he senses the need for a more cautions approach in the secondary school where there are older pupils. Secondary staff and pupils suffer from the pressures of academic work and seem to have less time to stop and talk. Teachers with specialist roles may see hundreds of children in week and a pupil may be able to form relationships with very few of the staff.

   He has to decide which adults are approachable; good schools will make clear to every young person from the first year what guidance and personal help is available- but whether the reality of life in the institution actually encourages requests for help is another matter.

   Adults often forget what a confusing picture school can offer to a child. He sees a great deal of movement, a great number of people-often rather frightening looking people- and realises that an increasing number of choices and decisions have to be made. As he progresses through the school the confusion may become less but the choices and decisions required will increase. The school will rightly expect the pupil to take the first steps to obtain the help he needs, for this is the pattern of adult life for which he has to be prepared, but all the time the opportunities for personal and group advice must be presented in a way which makes them easy to understand and within easy reach of pupils.

THE POWER OF COLOUR

  Early humans saw a variety of natural colours around them, from the browns and greens of the soil and plants to the deep blues and red of the sky. They painted their bodies with colours from nature to signal aggression towards an enemy, or to make themselves attractive to a mate.

  A girl and a rainbow of crushed ice flavours at Chowpatty Beach, India. Over the centuries, the sources of colours such as blue, purple and red were highly valued and they were often worth as much as gold. In the 19th  century, a young chemistry student manufactured the first synthetic dye, and suddenly the world became a much more colourful place, in the 20th century, scientists discovered the psychological effects of colours, and people found ways to use this discovery to influence our feelings and behaviour.

  RED

  Red, the colour of blood, symbolises fire, love and anger. In Eastern cultures, people believe it brings luck, wealth and success. In humans, the colour red can send different messages. Some people redden, for example, when they are angry or embarrassed. Researchers have discovered that in sports the team that is wearing red is more likely to win. Why? Because red seems to be the colour that signals dominance, giving those dressed in red an advantage in sporting events. In many animal species (including humans), contact with this bold colour causes the heart rate to Increase. However, one of red's lighter shades, pink, can have the opposite effect on people. Men in prisons are less aggressive when the walls are a specific shade of pink.

  YELLOW

  Yellow, the colour that comes to mind when we think of sunshine, is found throughout nature and the man-made world as a colour that commands attention; indeed, it is one of the easiest colours to see. This highly visible shade is found on everything from school buses to traffic signs and pens that we use to highlight important information in a text. The colour is also used to caution people; football players, for example, are shown a yellow card as a reminder to behave. It can be used as a stimulant as well: in a number of studies, yellow has been found to help children focus on their work and do better at school.

  BLUE

  Blue, the colour of the sky and sea, is associated in many cultures with water, religious objects, and protection against evil. Its darker shades represent calm, stability and power. Dark blue, for example, is the colour of the business suit or police uniform; it tells others, 'I am in control,' or 'I am trustworthy.' Blue is aiso associated with sadness. It's common in English, for example, when you are feeling sad or depressed, to talk about 'feeling blue,' while in Iran, blue is the colour of mourning, worn when a person dies.

  Like pink, blue has a calming effect on people. Rooms painted blue help people to relax or sleep. Sleeping pills are often coloured blue to suggest exactly this idea. This colour also seems to reduce feelings of hunger. Blue food is rarely seen in nature, and when it is, such food is usually no longer healthy to consume. It's just one more example of the power that colour can hold over us.                                                                                                    (Source: Close-Up, B1+, Pearson, 2014)

THE POWER OF COLOUR

  Early humans saw a variety of natural colours around them, from the browns and greens of the soil and plants to the deep blues and red of the sky. They painted their bodies with colours from nature to signal aggression towards an enemy, or to make themselves attractive to a mate.

  A girl and a rainbow of crushed ice flavours at Chowpatty Beach, India. Over the centuries, the sources of colours such as blue, purple and red were highly valued and they were often worth as much as gold. In the 19th  century, a young chemistry student manufactured the first synthetic dye, and suddenly the world became a much more colourful place, in the 20th century, scientists discovered the psychological effects of colours, and people found ways to use this discovery to influence our feelings and behaviour.

  RED

  Red, the colour of blood, symbolises fire, love and anger. In Eastern cultures, people believe it brings luck, wealth and success. In humans, the colour red can send different messages. Some people redden, for example, when they are angry or embarrassed. Researchers have discovered that in sports the team that is wearing red is more likely to win. Why? Because red seems to be the colour that signals dominance, giving those dressed in red an advantage in sporting events. In many animal species (including humans), contact with this bold colour causes the heart rate to Increase. However, one of red's lighter shades, pink, can have the opposite effect on people. Men in prisons are less aggressive when the walls are a specific shade of pink.

  YELLOW

  Yellow, the colour that comes to mind when we think of sunshine, is found throughout nature and the man-made world as a colour that commands attention; indeed, it is one of the easiest colours to see. This highly visible shade is found on everything from school buses to traffic signs and pens that we use to highlight important information in a text. The colour is also used to caution people; football players, for example, are shown a yellow card as a reminder to behave. It can be used as a stimulant as well: in a number of studies, yellow has been found to help children focus on their work and do better at school.

  BLUE

  Blue, the colour of the sky and sea, is associated in many cultures with water, religious objects, and protection against evil. Its darker shades represent calm, stability and power. Dark blue, for example, is the colour of the business suit or police uniform; it tells others, 'I am in control,' or 'I am trustworthy.' Blue is aiso associated with sadness. It's common in English, for example, when you are feeling sad or depressed, to talk about 'feeling blue,' while in Iran, blue is the colour of mourning, worn when a person dies.

  Like pink, blue has a calming effect on people. Rooms painted blue help people to relax or sleep. Sleeping pills are often coloured blue to suggest exactly this idea. This colour also seems to reduce feelings of hunger. Blue food is rarely seen in nature, and when it is, such food is usually no longer healthy to consume. It's just one more example of the power that colour can hold over us.                                                                                                    (Source: Close-Up, B1+, Pearson, 2014)

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 43.

   In the primary school, a child is in a comparatively simple setting and most of the time forms a relationship with one familiar teacher. On entering secondary school, a new world opens up and frequently it is a much more difficult world. The pupil soon learns to be less in the way he speaks to teachers and even to his fellow pupils. He begins to lose gradually the free and easy ways of the primary school, for he senses the need for a more cautions approach in the secondary school where there are older pupils. Secondary staff and pupils suffer from the pressures of academic work and seem to have less time to stop and talk. Teachers with specialist roles may see hundreds of children in week and a pupil may be able to form relationships with very few of the staff.

   He has to decide which adults are approachable; good schools will make clear to every young person from the first year what guidance and personal help is available- but whether the reality of life in the institution actually encourages requests for help is another matter.

   Adults often forget what a confusing picture school can offer to a child. He sees a great deal of movement, a great number of people-often rather frightening looking people- and realises that an increasing number of choices and decisions have to be made. As he progresses through the school the confusion may become less but the choices and decisions required will increase. The school will rightly expect the pupil to take the first steps to obtain the help he needs, for this is the pattern of adult life for which he has to be prepared, but all the time the opportunities for personal and group advice must be presented in a way which makes them easy to understand and within easy reach of pupils.

A. the secondary pupils parents B. the pupils at secondary school

Question 39: What will the school rightly expect the pupils to do?

A. they understand well  B. they study hard

C. they think carefully  D. they firstly obtain the help

Question 40: In secondary schools, every pupil having problems should........

A. know how to ask for help B. be able to discuss his problems in class

C. be freed from any pressure of academic work D. be able to discuss his problems with any teacher

Question 41: According to the passage one of the problems for pupils entering secondary school is that........

A. the teachers give most attention to the more academic pupils

B. they do not attend lessons in every subject

C. they are taught by many different teachers

D. the teachers do not want to be friendly

Question 42: The teachers at secondary school do not talk much to the pupils because........

   In the primary school, a child is in a comparatively simple setting and most of the time forms a relationship with one familiar teacher. On entering secondary school, a new world opens up and frequently it is a much more difficult world. The pupil soon learns to be less in the way he speaks to teachers and even to his fellow pupils. He begins to lose gradually the free and easy ways of the primary school, for he senses the need for a more cautions approach in the secondary school where there are older pupils. Secondary staff and pupils suffer from the pressures of academic work and seem to have less time to stop and talk. Teachers with specialist roles may see hundreds of children in week and a pupil may be able to form relationships with very few of the staff.

   He has to decide which adults are approachable; good schools will make clear to every young person from the first year what guidance and personal help is available- but whether the reality of life in the institution actually encourages requests for help is another matter.

   Adults often forget what a confusing picture school can offer to a child. He sees a great deal of movement, a great number of people-often rather frightening looking people- and realises that an increasing number of choices and decisions have to be made. As he progresses through the school the confusion may become less but the choices and decisions required will increase. The school will rightly expect the pupil to take the first steps to obtain the help he needs, for this is the pattern of adult life for which he has to be prepared, but all the time the opportunities for personal and group advice must be presented in a way which makes them easy to understand and within easy reach of pupils.

Question 36: According to the passage one of the problems for pupils entering secondary school is that........

A. the teachers do not want to be friendly

B. they are taught by many different teachers

C. the teachers give most attention to the more academic pupils

D. they do not attend lessons in every subject

Question 37: In secondary schools, every pupil having problems should........

A. know how to ask for help B. be able to discuss his problems in class

C. be freed from any pressure of academic work D. be able to discuss his problems with any teacher

Question 38: How many pupils do teachers see in a week?

A. Many pupils B. A few of pupils C. Hundreds of pupils D. One pupil

Question 39: Who do the pupils make relationship with?

A. A few of the staff B. Other parents C. Few of the staff D. Other pupils

Question 40: The teachers at secondary school do not talk much to the pupils because........

A. it is the regulation of the school B. they are too busy with their academic work

C. they want to keep a certain distance with the pupils D. the pupils are afraid of them

THE POWER OF COLOUR

  Early humans saw a variety of natural colours around them, from the browns and greens of the soil and plants to the deep blues and red of the sky. They painted their bodies with colours from nature to signal aggression towards an enemy, or to make themselves attractive to a mate.

  A girl and a rainbow of crushed ice flavours at Chowpatty Beach, India. Over the centuries, the sources of colours such as blue, purple and red were highly valued and they were often worth as much as gold. In the 19th  century, a young chemistry student manufactured the first synthetic dye, and suddenly the world became a much more colourful place, in the 20th century, scientists discovered the psychological effects of colours, and people found ways to use this discovery to influence our feelings and behaviour.

  RED

  Red, the colour of blood, symbolises fire, love and anger. In Eastern cultures, people believe it brings luck, wealth and success. In humans, the colour red can send different messages. Some people redden, for example, when they are angry or embarrassed. Researchers have discovered that in sports the team that is wearing red is more likely to win. Why? Because red seems to be the colour that signals dominance, giving those dressed in red an advantage in sporting events. In many animal species (including humans), contact with this bold colour causes the heart rate to Increase. However, one of red's lighter shades, pink, can have the opposite effect on people. Men in prisons are less aggressive when the walls are a specific shade of pink.

  YELLOW

  Yellow, the colour that comes to mind when we think of sunshine, is found throughout nature and the man-made world as a colour that commands attention; indeed, it is one of the easiest colours to see. This highly visible shade is found on everything from school buses to traffic signs and pens that we use to highlight important information in a text. The colour is also used to caution people; football players, for example, are shown a yellow card as a reminder to behave. It can be used as a stimulant as well: in a number of studies, yellow has been found to help children focus on their work and do better at school.

  BLUE

  Blue, the colour of the sky and sea, is associated in many cultures with water, religious objects, and protection against evil. Its darker shades represent calm, stability and power. Dark blue, for example, is the colour of the business suit or police uniform; it tells others, 'I am in control,' or 'I am trustworthy.' Blue is aiso associated with sadness. It's common in English, for example, when you are feeling sad or depressed, to talk about 'feeling blue,' while in Iran, blue is the colour of mourning, worn when a person dies.

  Like pink, blue has a calming effect on people. Rooms painted blue help people to relax or sleep. Sleeping pills are often coloured blue to suggest exactly this idea. This colour also seems to reduce feelings of hunger. Blue food is rarely seen in nature, and when it is, such food is usually no longer healthy to consume. It's just one more example of the power that colour can hold over us.                                                                                                     (Source: Close-Up, B1+, Pearson, 2014)

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 36.

   In the primary school, a child is in a comparatively simple setting and most of the time forms a relationship with one familiar teacher. On entering secondary school, a new world opens up and frequently it is a much more difficult world. The pupil soon learns to be less in the way he speaks to teachers and even to his fellow pupils. He begins to lose gradually the free and easy ways of the primary school, for he senses the need for a more cautions approach in the secondary school where there are older pupils. Secondary staff and pupils suffer from the pressures of academic work and seem to have less time to stop and talk. Teachers with specialist roles may see hundreds of children in week and a pupil may be able to form relationships with very few of the staff.

   He has to decide which adults are approachable; good schools will make clear to every young person from the first year what guidance and personal help is available- but whether the reality of life in the institution actually encourages requests for help is another matter.

   Adults often forget what a confusing picture school can offer to a child. He sees a great deal of movement, a great number of people-often rather frightening looking people- and realises that an increasing number of choices and decisions have to be made. As he progresses through the school the confusion may become less but the choices and decisions required will increase. The school will rightly expect the pupil to take the first steps to obtain the help he needs, for this is the pattern of adult life for which he has to be prepared, but all the time the opportunities for personal and group advice must be presented in a way which makes them easy to understand and within easy reach of pupils.

THE POWER OF COLOUR

  Early humans saw a variety of natural colours around them, from the browns and greens of the soil and plants to the deep blues and red of the sky. They painted their bodies with colours from nature to signal aggression towards an enemy, or to make themselves attractive to a mate.

  A girl and a rainbow of crushed ice flavours at Chowpatty Beach, India. Over the centuries, the sources of colours such as blue, purple and red were highly valued and they were often worth as much as gold. In the 19th  century, a young chemistry student manufactured the first synthetic dye, and suddenly the world became a much more colourful place, in the 20th century, scientists discovered the psychological effects of colours, and people found ways to use this discovery to influence our feelings and behaviour.

  RED

  Red, the colour of blood, symbolises fire, love and anger. In Eastern cultures, people believe it brings luck, wealth and success. In humans, the colour red can send different messages. Some people redden, for example, when they are angry or embarrassed. Researchers have discovered that in sports the team that is wearing red is more likely to win. Why? Because red seems to be the colour that signals dominance, giving those dressed in red an advantage in sporting events. In many animal species (including humans), contact with this bold colour causes the heart rate to Increase. However, one of red's lighter shades, pink, can have the opposite effect on people. Men in prisons are less aggressive when the walls are a specific shade of pink.

  YELLOW

  Yellow, the colour that comes to mind when we think of sunshine, is found throughout nature and the man-made world as a colour that commands attention; indeed, it is one of the easiest colours to see. This highly visible shade is found on everything from school buses to traffic signs and pens that we use to highlight important information in a text. The colour is also used to caution people; football players, for example, are shown a yellow card as a reminder to behave. It can be used as a stimulant as well: in a number of studies, yellow has been found to help children focus on their work and do better at school.

  BLUE

  Blue, the colour of the sky and sea, is associated in many cultures with water, religious objects, and protection against evil. Its darker shades represent calm, stability and power. Dark blue, for example, is the colour of the business suit or police uniform; it tells others, 'I am in control,' or 'I am trustworthy.' Blue is aiso associated with sadness. It's common in English, for example, when you are feeling sad or depressed, to talk about 'feeling blue,' while in Iran, blue is the colour of mourning, worn when a person dies.

  Like pink, blue has a calming effect on people. Rooms painted blue help people to relax or sleep. Sleeping pills are often coloured blue to suggest exactly this idea. This colour also seems to reduce feelings of hunger. Blue food is rarely seen in nature, and when it is, such food is usually no longer healthy to consume. It's just one more example of the power that colour can hold over us.                                                                                                            (Source: Close-Up, B1+, Pearson, 2014)

Question 7: The phrase “this idea” (paragraph 6, line 2) refers to.......

A. painting rooms B. food C. relaxation D. stopping hunger

Question 8: According to the text, the colour red......

A. gives an advantage to team members who wear it. B. symbolises bad luck.

A. it is a highly visible colour. B. people prefer this colour to other colours.

C. it can be used to caution people. D. it is an important colour.

A. being sad B. being in control C. being calm                    D. being upset when someone dies
