SIXTH PART
 Reading Comprehension. Answer the
questions from 34 to 38
Imagine if everyone in your street suddenly
came out into the road one day and started
singing together. Singing teacher Ruth Black
believes it would make everyone so friendly
that they would never walk past each other
again without saying hello. Singing helps
people live in peace together, she says. All over
the world people have always sung together
and in most places they still do, but in England
it is no longer traditional. Nowadays, says Ruth,
people only sing together in churches and
football grounds, although it could be done
anywhere. Everyone is able to sing, she says,
but most of us either think we can't or have
forgotten what we learned as children.
However, as with everything musical, you need
to practice and the same applies to your voice.
Ruth believes that singing itself brings other
benefits. It encourages good breathing, for
example. Through singing, people often
become more confident and also learn to
control stress. But more than anything, it brings
people together. When Ruth first started
singing, there was little opportunity to sing with
others. Then, through a friend, she discovered
an excellent singing class and became so keen
that she started running her own classes.
These are held twice a month for all singers,
whatever their level, and are now enormously
34. What is the writer trying to do in this
article?
A. explain why singing has become less
popular everywhere.
B. describe a teacher's ideas about the
importance of singing.
C. advertise a teacher's singing classes.
D. encourage children to learn to sing.
35. What can the reader find out from the
article?
A. how singing is something anyone can do.
B. where the best places to learn to sing are.
C. why traditional singing has disappeared.
D. how to improve your voice.
36. How does Ruth think singing with other
people can help you?
A. You learn to breathe more easily.
B. You are able to improve your speaking.
C. You can get to know other people.
D. You become a confident musician.
37. What made Ruth start her own class?
A. She couldn't find a suitable class.
B. She was asked to teach people she knew.
C. She wanted to improve her own teaching.
D. She enjoyed going to a singing class
herself
