II. Read the passage and choose the best answer for each question.
Over the past 600 years, English has grown from a language of few speakers to become the
dominant language of international communication. English as we know it today emerged
around 1350, after having incorporated many elements of French that were introduced
following the Norman invasion of 1066. Until the 1600s, English was, for the most part, spoken
only in England and had not extended even as far as Wales, Scotland, or Ireland. However,
during the course of the next two centuries, English began to spread around the globe as a
result of exploration, trade (including slave trade), colonisation, and missionary work. Thus,
small enclaves of English speakers became established and grew in various parts of the world.
As these communities proliferated. English gradually became the primary language of
international business, banking and diplomacy.
Currently, about 80 percent of the information stored on computer systems worldwide
is English. Two-thirds of the world's science writing is in English, and It is the main language of
technology, advertising, media, international airports, and air traffic controllers. Today there
are more than 700 million English users in the world, and over half of these are normative
speakers, constituting the largest number of normative users than any other language in the
world.

III. Read the passage and choose the best answer for each question.
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.

A. The science of music B. Understanding music
