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.

Question 41. What is the best title of the reading passage?

A. The science of music B. Music and an angry person
C. Understanding music D. The effects of music on human feelings
Question 42. What is TRUE according to the passage?
A. Music is not to be played. B. Music affects us in different ways.
C. Music never makes us angry. D. Music affects everybody in the same way.
Question 43. 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 44. The word "influence" has a close meaning to ______.

The Beatles
In the 1960s, the Beatles were probably the most famous pop group in the whole world.
Since then, there have been a great many groups that have achieved enormous fame, so it is
difficult now to imagine how sensational The Beatles were at that time. They were four boys
from the north of England and none of them had any training in music. They started by
performing and recording songs by black Americans and they had some success with these songs.
Then they started writing their own songs and that was when they became really popular. The
Beatles changed pop music. They were the first pop group to achieve great success from songs
they had written themselves. After that it became common for groups and singers to write their
own songs. The Beatles did not have a long career. Their first hit record was in 1963 and they split
up in 1970. They stopped doing live performances in 1966 because it had become too dangerous
for them – their fans were so excited that they surrounded them and tried to take their clothes as
souvenirs! However, today some of their songs remain as famous as they were when they first
came out. Throughout the world, many people can sing part of a Beatles song if you ask them.
