proposed in 1884 by William James, the Ameri-can psychologist and philosopher. (2) Scientists have faced problems in attempting to formulate a precise definition of emotion. (3) A Danish physiologist, Carl Lange, without prior knowl-edge of James’ writings, published the same con-cept in 1887. (4) The proposition came to be known as the James-Lange theory. (5) Prior to the formulation of this theory, it had been as-sumed that emotions were aroused by ideas that the provoking situation aroused in the individ-ual’s mind.(6) To use a simple example: man sees bear; man feels afraid; man runs away. (7) James and Lange reversed the sequence: man sees bear; man runs away; man feels afraid. (8) According to this view, the physiological reactions are the immediate reflex response to the provoking stimulus. (9) The emotions appear only when the individual senses that bodily changes are occur-ring.

(A) Sentence 1 (D) Sentence 6 (B) Sentence 2 (E) Sentence 7 (C) Sentence 4
42. The preceding paragraph most likely dis-cusses ....
(A) other theories of emotions (B) reasons for people to be afraid (C) studies conducted by Carl Lange (D) the impacts of emotions to the brain (E) physical changes caused by emotions
The Mahabharata is one of the two major San-skrit epics of ancient India, the other being the Ramayana. _43_ its epic narrative of the Kuruk-shetra War and the fates of the Kaurava and the Pandava princes, the Mahabharata contains _44_ and devotional material. Traditionally, the au-thorship of the Mahabharata is attributed to Vyasa. There have been many attempts to _45_ its historical growth and compositional layers. The oldest preserved parts of the text are thought to be not much older than around 400
BCE, _46_ the origins of the epic probably fall between the 8th and 9th centuries BCE. The text probably reached its final form by the early Gupta period (c. 4th century CE). The title may be translated as “the great tale of the Bhrata dy-nasty”. The Mahabharata is the longest known _47_ poem and has been described as “the long-est poem ever written”. About 1.8 million words in total, the Mahabharata is roughly ten times the length of the Iliad and the Odyssey combined, or about four times the length of the Ramayana.

dustrial & Engineering Chemistry Research one such method that can dramatically reduce the amount of energy it takes to bleach cotton while improving the quality of the popular material.
These scientists point out that the cotton industry’s current whitening techniques require bleaching the natural fiber at very high tempera-tures with hydrogen peroxide. Although this method results in the bright white material con-sumers have grown so fond of, it also lowers the quality of the material and takes a lot of energy to carry out. Multiply that by the 7.3 billion pounds of cotton produced in the US. alone, and the energy needs soar. To cut down on the energy the textile industry uses to make cotton, they targeted their efforts toward lowering the bleaching technique’s high temperatures.
This group of scientists developed a novel compound that, when used with hydrogen per-oxide, drops the bleaching temperature down to 140 degrees Fahrenheit from 200 degrees. It is estimated that 60 degree difference would result in a process requiring less than half the energy as the commercial technique. It also produced less waste water, improved the weight of the ma-terial and performed its original function — whitening the cotton. Since many materials des-tined to become clothing eventually take on vari-ous hues, the scientists also tested dyes and found the cotton bleached at the lower tempera-ture could be made just as vibrant as its high-heat counterpart. They successfully showed the treatment’s effectiveness on knitted cotton fabric in commercial scale trials.

(A) The energy needed to produce this new kind of fabric can be significantly de-creased.
(B) Bright white material does not necessar-ily come with good quality.
(C) The new method uses lower tempera-tures to produce the fabric.
(D) The waste water produced by the new method is not as much as that produced by the old method.
(E) The main goal of the research is to pro-duce fabric with better quality
50. The passage would probably be assigned reading in which of the following courses? (A) Geology (D) Statistics (B) Chemistry (E) Geometry (C) Biology
51. The tone of this passage could be best de-scribed as ....
(A) emotional (B) informative (C) disinterested (D) exaggerated (E) concerned
52. What can be inferred from the last para-graph?
(A) To produce good products, a more complicated process is needed.
(B) More energy is required to make better quality fabrics.
(C) Fabrics produced at low temperatures are not as vibrant as those produced at high temperatures.
(D) The fabric unfortunately cannot be sold as it cannot be produced in large quanti-ties.
(E) In order to produce good products, the environment does not need to be sacri-ficed.

ployment and to try to match himself and an occupation.
There is a wide range of sources of job in-formation, _54_ includes advertisements in newspapers and periodicals, public and private employment services, professional organizations, labor unions, and civil service commisions. _55_ one or more of these sources allows the pro-spective employee to assess the opportunities available, the training and experience necessary, and the income that can be expected.
When a job seeker has chosen a field of employment and has located information about specific openings, he is ready to _56_. If the prospective employer is to be contacted directly, the approach may be _57_ through a company’s personnel office, by letter, or by making a tele-phone appointment for an interview. Employers often ask job applicants to send a resume, which is a summary of the applicant’s employment ex-perience, personal data, and education.
The education and training of the job seeker have an important bearing on the types of employment that are open to him. As a gen-eral rule, occupations are becoming more spe-cialized and technical. Many jobs demand ap-prenticeship or on-the-job training, while others require a professional academic degree. About 75% of the people working in _59_ and techni-cal fields have at least some college education, and only about 5% have less than a high-school education. Although education is not a guarantee of employment, unemployment rates decline as the level of education rises.
