Feeling Blue? Play Some Music
Everyone experiences bad moods now and then, some more than others. But help may be
on the way. In recent studies, scientists have found that music can improve people’s moods. One
study conducted by the University of Maryland showed that listening to a type of classical music
called baroque helped improve the moods of medical workers who study images of people’s
organs and bones. It also helped the medical workers feel greater satisfaction with their work.
But not only classical music helps people feel better. In fact, a Penn State University study
of college students showed that any kind of music the students listened to helped produce more
positive emotions, such as joy, affection, and calm.
How can you help yourself with music? Try a music-listening diary, as did the students in
the Penn State study. Before you listen to music, record how you are feeling. Then get your radio,
CD player, or MP3 player and turn on your favorite kind of music. The college students most often
listened to rock music, but you can choose any kind. Next, do whatever activity you would normally
do while listening to music. For example, the college participants studied, exercised, and
socialized. After listening to the music, write down how long you listened and how you feel now.
Keep the diary for a couple of weeks, and find out if music really does make a difference.

15. The main purpose of the second half of the passage is to … .

A. entertain readers with stories about music
B. inform readers about how mood affects researchers
C. encourage readers to use music to improve their own moods

and I’d like to see if it is possible to get a raise.
Mrs. Subardi : I see. Why do you think you deserve a grade raise?
Bieber : I know that I didn’t do very well on my mid-term and final exam, but that’s

score indicates.

Soup: A Healthy Choice
If you want to make a great, healthy meal, why not start with a soup? The liquid in soup keeps
you feeling full for a long time, and you can add many healthy ingredients—not only to make it
delicious but to get your vitamins and minerals. Another great thing about soup is that you can use
what you already have in your cupboard or refrigerator to make it.
For example, if you have a cut of chicken or vegetable broth, add it to a pot of water for the
base. Throw in a few dried herbs as the pot heats up. If you have a small onion and a clove of
garlic, peel and add them, too. Then, check the vegetable drawer in your refrigerator. If you find
celery or carrots, chop up about a cup of each and toss them in. Green beans, cabbage, and
zucchini also work well to add flavor, and you can even use frozen vegetables, such as peas or
corn. Next, make your soup extra hearty and high in fiber by adding brown rice or whole-grain
pasta. For protein, throw in cooked chicken.
Finally, bring the mixture to a boil, and then let it simmer for a while so that the vegetables
become tender and the flavors blend together. This usually takes at least 30 minutes. But once it’s
ready, you’ll see that this delicious meal was worth the wait!

43. What is the author’s main purpose in the passage?

A. To explain why soup is healthy.
B. To entertain with a story about soup.
C. To explain how to make a healthy soup.
D. To persuade readers that soup is better than other foods.
E. To show that making the soup is not the difficult things to do.

49. What is the topic of the following news item text?

Mice and rats have long been used in medical research because of their biological
similarities to humans.
The tiny animals have already shown an ability to recognize objects, push buttons and find
their way through complex paths.
Now, scientists have trained rats to drive small vehicles created for them. One of the main
findings of the experiment was that the driving activity seemed to help the rats relax.
Researchers at the University of Richmond in Virginia led the experiment. Their findings
were published in Behavioural Brain Research.
The team built tiny cars out of plastic and other materials. The vehicles had an opening at
one end where electrical wires were attached. By touching one of three different wires, the rat
could steer the car in different directions – left, center and right.
Sweet treats were placed inside the experiment containers in an attempt to get the rats to
drive the vehicle to get to the food.
Researchers trained 17 rats over several months to drive around the containers. The
animals proved that they could be trained to drive forward as well as in other directions to get
to the treats.
