16-20. Passage #1 – Chemical and Physical Changes
All matter, all things can be changed in two ways: chemically and physically. Both chemical and physical changes
affect the state of matter. Physical changes are those that do not change the make-up or identity of the matter. For example,
clay will bend or flatten if squeezed, but it will still be clay. Changing the shape of clay is a physical change, and does not
change the matter’s identity. Chemical changes turn the matter into a new kind of matter with different properties. For
example, when paper is burnt, it becomes ash and will never be paper again. The difference between them is that physical
changes are temporary or only last for a little while, and chemical changes are permanent, which means they last forever.
Physical and chemical changes both affect the state of matter.

as sales, engineering, architecture, or law. Moreover, people with high achievement motivation tend to go into
occupations that realistically match their abilities. For this reason, they have little anxiety or fear of failure. And when
success is achieved, they enjoy the fruit of their labor more than the average person.
