III. Reading — music & moods (13–17)

Mark the letter A, B, C or D to indicate the best answer for each of the following questions.

Have you ever felt a sudden feeling of joy because you heard a favorite song playing? Then you know that music can have a strong effect on your emotions. Try to take advantage of this power of music. It can help get you out of a bad mood or stay in a good mood, says Alicia Ann Clair, professor of music therapy at the University of Kansas. Music can also help you relax and feel more lively.
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.
Listening 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.

IV. Reading — drinking water (18–22)

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

Some doctors think that you should drink a glass of water each morning. You should drink this water first, before doing anything else; the temperature of the water should be similar to body temperature; neither too hot nor too cold.
Why should you drink this water? Water helps your body in many ways. It helps clean out your kidneys. It prepares your stomach for digestion. Water can also help your intestines work better. After drinking water, the intestines can more easily take out nutrients from our food. Water also helps us go to the bathroom more easily.
Scientists suggest that people take in 1,600 milliliters of water each day. But don't drink all of that water in one sitting. If you do, your kidneys will have to work much harder to eliminate it. It's better to drink some in the morning and some in the afternoon. Some people think it's better to drink between meals and not during meals. They think water dilutes the juices produced in our stomachs. This can interfere with normal digestion.
Are you drinking enough water every day? Check the color of your urine. If it is light yellow, you are probably drinking enough. If your urine is very dark yellow, you probably need to drink more water. A little more water each day could make you much healthier.

What do the doctors advise us to do every morning?

According to the passage, what can the intestines do after we drink water?

How much water do the scientists suggest that people should drink a day?
