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
Music influences people in different ways or the same person differently at different times.
Music may seem to influence people differently. That is because people can react
differently to the music. We are able to apply a choosing process to the music we hear. If
someone hates jazz, then a jazz piece with a positive effect will probably not make him
feel good. A happy song might appear to make an angry person angrier, yet it is not the
music itself that is creating the anger; rather it is the positive effect of the music. The
angry person does not want to accept the song's happy feeling: it points out his already
existing anger, and makes that anger come to the surface. When a piece of music is
played and we are listening to it, our body, mind, and feelings are being affected. The
musicians of ancient cultures such as China, India, Turkey and Greece understood the
effects of music. In fact, Pathagoras, in ancient Greece, introduced a whole science
that concerned them. Because the musicians of these ancient cultures understood these
effects, they created music that was positive, uplifting, and beneficial. Once the effects of
music are better understood, the next step is to gain a better understanding of the music
around us, and what effect it is actually having. \

D. The effects of music on human feelings Question 29. Music__________. A. cannot be chosen
B. affects us in different ways
C. affects everybody in the same way D. never makes us angry
Question 30. According to the text, __________.
A. Everybody likes jazz B. a very angry person sometimes do not accept music C. No one likes jazz
D. Jazz always makes us feel better
Question 31. In ancient cultures, there used to be a science that concerned the effects of music in__________. A. Greece B. China C. India D. Turkey
Question 32. The word "Once" has a close meaning to__________. A. on time B. because C. when D. if
