A. Read the passage then choose the best answer: (2pts)

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,

Pythagoras, 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.
