At the University of Kansas art museum, scientists tested the effect of different colored walls on two groups of visitors
to an exhibit of paintings. For the first group the room was painted white; for the second, dark brown. Movement of
each group was followed by an electrical equipment under the carpet. The experiment showed that those who entered
the dark brown walked more quickly, covered more area, and spent less time in the room than people in the white
one. Dark brown made people more active, but the activity ended sooner. Not only the choice of colors but also the
general appearance of a room affects those inside. Another experiment presented people with photographs of faces
whose energy was to be commented. Three groups of people were used; each was shown the same photos,
but each group was in an ordinary room—a nice office. The third was in a tastefully designed living room with
carpeting. Results showed that the people in the beautiful room tend to give higher marks to the faces than
those in the ugly room did. Other studies
that students do better on tests taken in comfortable room than in ordinary-looking or ugly rooms.
Which of the following is the best expression of the main idea of this passage?

B. The color and general appearance of a room have a deeper effect on the behavior of the people in it
C. The University of Kansas has studied the effects of the color of room on people’s behavior
D. Beautifully furnished, light-coloured rooms make people more comfortable than ugly, dark rooms
Passage One
Artificial flowers are used for scientific as well as for decorative purposes. They are made from a variety of materials, such as wax and glass, so skillfully that they can scarcely be distinguished from natural flowers. In making such models, painstaking skill and artistry are called for, as well as thorough knowledge of plant structure. The collection of glass flowers in the Botanical Museum of Harvard University is the most famous in North America and is widely known throughout the scientific world. In all, there are several thousand models in colored glass, the work of two artists-naturalists, Leopold Blaschka and his son Rudolph.
The intention was to have the collection represent at least one member of each flower family native to the United States. Although it was never completed, it contains more than seven hundred species representing 164 families of flowering plants, a group of fruits showing the effect of fungus diseases, and thousands of flower parts and magnified details. Every detail of these is accurately reproduced in color and structure. The models ate kept in locked cases, as they are too valuable and fragile for classroom use.

In 1970, a young German schoolmaster had an idea which changed this state of affairs. He decided to turn his little schoolhouse into a dormitory or hostel for the summer holidays. Anyone who brought his sleeping bag and cooking equipment along could stay there for a very small quantity of money. The idea was a success. A few years later, the schoolhouse was much too small to hold the many young people who wanted to stay there. As a result, a dormitory was set up in an old castle nearby. This was the first Youth Hostel.
Today, young students and workers of every country can meet in the hostel and get to know each other. When young people arrive at the hostel, they have only to show their card of membership in a hostel organization in their own country. This card will permit him to use the facilities of hostels all over the world for very low prices.
Often, at the evening meal, a group of boys and girls from various parts of the country or the world will happen to meet at the same hostel. They may put their food together and prepare a dinner with many kinds of dishes. Sometimes a program will be organized after the meal with dances, songs, or short talks followed by a question period. One can learn a lot of things about other places, just by meeting people who come from those places. For this reason, a few weeks spent "hostelling" can be just as useful a part of one's education as classes in school.
