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 from 29 to 33.
Many children have music classes when they attend school. And it is thought that music can help them
learn other subjects better. Research has shown that it can improve children's performances in certain
subjects.
Some studies have shown that music training can help you understand your own language better. It
could also help you with learning a second one. Moreover, young people who have studied music also seem to
get higher scores in other subjects like maths. So it could be that these school subjects are connected in some
way.
Music also helps you think of new ideas, and believe more in yourself. If you are learning the guitar,
for example, it can be really exciting when you are able to start composing your own pieces of music. One of
the biggest benefits, of course, is that listening to music can reduce your stress. And composing music can
make you feel the same way. Maybe your musical knowledge will even open up a great career path for you in
the future!

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on the answer sheet to indicate the
the correct answer to each of the questions from 34 to 40.
Machines already perform a lot of tasks that are usually done by humans, such as building cars, doing
complex calculations, and even marking exam papers. But now it seems that ever more intelligent machines
are straying into areas where we never envisaged they would go. We have always taken pride in having a
unique kind of intelligence that machines could never match, one that allows us to think of new ideas and
produce creative and artistic works. But it seems that even here, computers are lining up to compete with us.
Machines can easily be trained to do the physical work of producing art. About ten years ago, a
painting robot known as e-David was created at a university in Germany. And recently in New York, the
painting Portrait of Edmond de Belamy has been auctioned for nearly half a million dollars. What made it a
bit unusual was that the idea, and the image itself, was produced entirely by a computer. A group of young
French artists gave instructions to the computer, aiming simply to show that computers can be creative.
Some artists are now working with computers to produce a new kind of art. Computer-generated
works of art are certainly interesting, and make us think about the limits of what machines can and cannot do.
But not everyone would accept that they qualify as art. Some enthusiasts would argue they do, and the
collectors willing to pay high prices for these works would suggest there is a market for computer art. Others,
however, would disagree.
Many 'real' artists would claim that art is an expression of human intelligence and human emotions.
More importantly, it is about a desire to communicate with other people. These things, they argue, are part of
being human and can never be produced by a machine.
(Adapted from Formula - Exam Trainer)
