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.
1. The text is about .
A. The science of music B. Understanding music
C. The effects of music on human feelings D. Music and an angry person

A. cannot be chosen B. affects everybody in the same way

A. Everybody likes jazz B. Jazz always makes us feel better
C. No one likes jazz D. a very angry person sometimes do not accept music

Many people now think that teachers give students too much homework. They say that it is
unnecessary for children to work at home in their free time. Moreover, they argue that most teachers
do not properly plan the homework tasks they give to students. The result is that students have to
repeat tasks which they have already done at school.
Most people agree that homework is unfair. A student who can do his homework in a quiet and
comfortable room is in a much better position than a student who does his homework in a small,
noisy room with the television on. Some parents help their children with their homework. Other
parents take no interest at all in their children’s homework.
It is important, however, that teachers talk to parents about homework. A teacher should suggest
suitable tasks for parents to do with their children. Parents are often better at teaching their own
children!

I get a lot of letters at this time of the year from people complaining that they have a cold which
won’t go away. There are so many different stories about how to prevent or cure a cold that it’s often
difficult to know what to do. Although colds are rarely dangerous, except for people who are already
weak, such as the elderly or young babies, they are always uncomfortable and usually most
unpleasant. Of course, you can buy lots of medicines which will help to make your cold less
unpleasant, but you must remember that nothing can actually cure a cold or make it go away faster.
Another thing is that any medicine which is strong enough to make you feel better could be
dangerous if you are already taking drugs for some other illness so always with your chemist or
doctor to see whether they are all right for you. And remember they might make you sleepy – please
don’t try to drive if they do! Lastly, as far as avoiding colds is concerned, whatever you may be told
about magic foods or drinks, the best answer is to keep strong and healthy – you’ll have less chance
of catching a cold, and if you do, it shouldn’t be so bad!

THE TELEPHONE
You may use the telephone every day but how much do you know about it? The telephone was
invented by Alexander Bell in 1876. Bell was born in Scotland in 1847. Later he went to live in the
USA. Bell was always interested in sound. He wanted to be able to send sound through a wire. He
had a workshop in his house in America and did many experiences there.
One day, he was doing an experiment in his workshop. He was careless and spilt some burning
liquid onto his clothes. Talking into his telephone, Bell said, ‘Mr. Watson, I want you to come over
here immediately, please.’ His assistant, Watson, was in another room far away from the workshop.
However he heard Bell clearly on his own telephone. Quickly, he ran to Bell’s workshop. ‘Mr. Bell,
I heard every word you said!’ Watson shouted excitedly.
Bell had finally succeeded. He had invented the first telephone. Later other inventors made better
ones.
39. Alexander Bell invented the telephone when he was twenty six.
