IX. Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D to indicate the
correct answer to each of the questions.
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.
