Read the passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions. 
Clothes have been worn for thousands of years, originating with our animal-skin clad Neanderthal ancestors, through to sophisticated modern-day couture. So why are clothes so

important?

Firstly, we mustn’t underestimate the importance of clothing on human psychology. It’s true that you shouldn’t judge a book by its cover, but people still do. In the case of

human beings, that ‘cover’ is, in a large part, your clothing and others are looking at it in order to help create an impression of who are. This is because clothing is seen as an

extension of our personality.

In reality, most people favour a combination of styles, wearing casual clothes one day and business garb the next. The key to using it to your advantage is to dress so you feel

ready to take on the world. In fact, experts have found that dressing in this way has a real impact on your mood and your outlook.

Many people believe clothing is not a necessity; their clothing represents their cultures and beliefs. Many factors affect the clothing worn by different civilizations. Some factors

include region, beliefs, climate, and gender. It is also important to know the fashion and customers of certain regions to get a better grasp of how other cultures function.

Clothing also has a very practical use. Physically, clothing serves many purposes; it can serve as protection from the elements and can enhance safety during hazardous activities

and weather conditions. Furthermore, they can provide a hygienic barrier, keeping infectious and toxic materials away from the body. Clothing also provides protection from

harmful UV radiation.

In some societies, clothes may be used to indicate rank or status. History provides many examples of elaborate sumptuary laws that regulated what people could wear. In

societies without such laws, which includes most modern societies, social status is instead signaled by the purchase of rare or luxury items that are limited by cost to those with

wealth or status.

A. people judge other people through their clothing.

B. people like to read books about clothing

C. the covers of the fashion books are preferred

D. people like talking about the book’s covers

37. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?

A. Clothing plays an important role in human psychology

C. Clothing has no impact on people’s appearance.

B. Clothing is an extension of people’s personality

D. Most people prefer the combination of fashion styles.

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 44 to 50. 
We get great pleasure from reading. The more advanced a man is, the greater delight he will find in reading. The ordinary man may think that subjects like philosophy or science
are very difficult and that if philosophers and scientists read these subjects, it is not for pleasure.
But this is not true. The mathematician finds the same pleasure in his mathematics as the school boy in an adventure story. For both, it is a play of the imagination, a mental
recreation and exercise. The pleasure derived from this activity is common to all kinds of reading. But different types of books give us different types of pleasure. First in order
of popularity is novel-reading. Novels contain pictures of imaginary people in imaginary situations, and give us an opportunity of escaping into a new world very much like our
world and yet different from it. Here we seem to live a new life, and the experience of this new life gives us a thrill of pleasure. Next in order of popularity are travel books,
biographies and memoirs. These tell us tales of places we have not seen and of great men in whom we are interested.
Some of these books are as wonderful as novels, and they have an added value that they are true. Such books give us knowledge, and we also find immense pleasure in knowing
details of lands we have not seen and of great men we have only heard of. Reading is one of the greatest enjoyments of life. To book-lovers, nothing is more fascinating than a
favorite book. And, the ordinary educated man who is interested and absorbed in his daily occupation wants to occasionally escape from his drudgery into the wonderland of
books for recreation and refreshment.
