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 41 to 50


Recent technological advances in manned and
unmanned vehicles, along with breakthroughs in satellite technology and
computer equipment, have overcome some of the limitations of divers and diving
equipment for scientists doing research on the great oceans of the world.
Without a vehicle, divers often became sluggish, and their mental concentration was severely
limited. Because underea pressure affects their speech organs, communication
among divers has always been difficult or impossible. But today, most
oceanographers avoid the use of vulnerable human divers, preferring to reduce
the risk to human life and make direct obervations by means of instruments that
are lowered into the ocean, from samples take from the water, or from
photographs made by orbiting satellites. Direct observations of the ocean floor
can be made not only by divers but also by deep-diving submarines in the water
and even by the technology of sophisticated aerial photgraphy from vantage
points above the surface of more than seven miles and cruise at depths of
fifteen thousand feet. In addition, radio-equipped buoys can be operated by remote
control in order to transmit information back to land-based laboratories
via satellite. Particularly important for ocean study are data about water
temperature, currents, and weather. Satellite photographs can show the
distribution of sea ice, oil slicks, and cloud formations over the ocean, Maps
created from satellite pictures can represent the temperature and the color of
the ocean’s surface, enabling researchers to study the ocean currents from
laboratories on dry land. Furthermore, computers help oceanographers to
collect, organize, and analyze data from submarines and satellites. By creating
a model of the ocean’s movement and characteristics, scientists can predict the
patterns and possible effects of the ocean on the enviroment.


Recently, many oceanographers have
been relying more on satellites and computers than on research ships or even
submarine vehicles because they can supply a greater range of information more
quickly and more effectively. Some of humankind’s most serious problems,
especially those concerning energy and food, may be solved with the help
of observations made possible by this new technology.

A. they did not

Colors
and Emotions


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 refects 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 thay also affect
anyone who comes in contract 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 that 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
