questions from 31 to 36.
Have you ever felt a sudden feeling of joy because you heard a favourite song
playing? Then you know that music can have a strong effect on your emotions.
Try to take ỉ advantage of this power of music. It can help get you out of a bad
mood or stay in a good s mood, says Alicia Ann Clair, professor of music therapy
at the University of Kansas. Music can also help you relax.
To cheer up or boost your energy, listen to Latin music or anything with a strong
beat, lots of percussion, and a fast tempo. When you want to relax after a busy
day, music with string instruments and woodwinds, less percussion, and a slower
tempo can calm you.
Listen to calming music before you start any stressful activities, advises Dr. Clair.
"Once you're in a good state of mind, it's easier to maintain it." You can lower
stress at work with music, too, by playing relaxing tunes. But only play them
when you really need them. You can change your mood by switching from one
kind of music to another. For example, first play some nice gentle ballads, and
then listen to something more energetic. When you want to calm down after a
busy week at work, just do the opposite.
Question 31. What is the passage mainly about?
A. The importance of listening to music B. New ways to listen to music
C. Benefits of listening to music D. The connection between music and
moods
