II. Read the passage and choose the best answer A, B, C or D.
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 a 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.
