Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the
correct option that best fits each of the numbered blanks from 18 to 23.
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 rejuvenated.
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.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the
correct option that best fits each of the numbered blanks from 24 to 30.
Two of the most common English varieties are American English and British English. However,
do you know there are many more World Englishes than just these two? Below are four other widely
used Englishes you may not know.
One common variety is Australian English, in which speakers usually use "mate" instead of
"friend". The pronunciation of /ai/ is subtly influenced by /pi/. Australian English typically has a rising
intonation at the end of the sentence. Indian English is another variety. It is strongly influenced by
India's indigenous languages, thus its unique accent. One of its distinct features, like Hindi, is the
absence of /w/, which is pronounced /v/ instead.
African English also has a special accent. The vowel /i/ is more similar to /ə/, and the
pronunciation is generally more fronted and rounded than other varieties. Singaporean English, or
Singlish, reflects the country's multiculturalism as it is a mixture of English, Malay, Mandarin, and
Tamil. Speakers of this variety commonly use "lah" or "lor" for emphasis or affirmation. The consonant
/ð/ is often pronounced /d/ (e.g., /'fa:də/ instead of /'fa:.ðə/).
These are just four of millions of World Englishes currently used worldwide. Such a large
number of English varieties proves the language's adaptability as a lingua franca, and the world's
amazing cultural and linguistic diversity.

A. The similarities among four World Englishes
B. Special features of four World Englishes
C. The difference between American English and British English

A. The lack of the sound/w/
B. The use of "mate" instead of 'friend"
C. The meaning of "lah" or "lor"
