Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to

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.
