II. Read the passage carefully and choose the correct answer:
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

 A Phu Ly High School- English group

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.

A. The science of music B. Understanding music

III. Read the passage carefully and choose the correct answer:
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 perhaps 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.

You've probably heard the expression 'Laughter is the best medicine'. Well, scientists and medical
doctors now agree that laughter can help people deal with stress and anger. Research has also shown that
people who feel happy and relaxed are healthier and have better relationships.
Laughter yoga is a series of exercises which teaches you to laugh for no reason. You don't need to have
a sense of humor, or understand funny jokes. You just have to laugh. When you do laughter yoga in a group,
you laugh and do yoga breathing, so that you increase the amount of oxygen in your body. Soon the laughter
exercises turn into real laughter. After a laughter yoga class, you feel calm and relaxed, but also happy and
full of energy. Laughter yoga was developed by a medical doctor from India, Dr Madan Kataria. He started
the first laughter yoga classes in a park in Mumbai in 1995 with just five people, and now there are over six
thousand laughter clubs in sixty different countries.
Companies who have run laughter yoga workshops find that they have advantages for both employers
and employees. People who are happy at work are more hard working and make more money for the
company. Also, people who can laugh together, communicate more successfully. In general, people do
better at work when they feel happy and relaxed.
