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.
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.

correct option that best fits each of the numbered blanks from 31 to 37.
Dinosaurs were reptiles that lived during a period of earth's history called the Mesozoic Era,
which is known as the Age of Reptiles. The first dinosaurs appeared more than 200 million years ago.
For many millions of years, they dominated the land with their huge size and strength. Then about 65
million years ago, they died out rather suddenly, never to reemerge.
The word dinosaur comes from two Greek words meaning “terrible lizard”. Dinosaurs were not
lizards, but their appearance could be truly terrifying. The biggest ones weighed more than ten times as
much as a mature elephant and nearly equaled the size of most modern-day whales. The famous kinds
of dinosaurs, including the brontosaurus and tyrannosaurus, reached 80 to 90 feet in length. Not all
dinosaurs were giants, however, some were actually no larger than a chicken.
Scientists still do not know what caused dinosaur to disappear. One theory involves a change in
the earth's climate. It is believed that temperature dropped significantly towards the end of the
Cretaceous Period.
Too large to hibernate and not having fur or feathers for protection, it is possible that the climate
became too chilly for dinosaurs. In contrast, other species having protection, such as the mammals and
birds, were able to survive.
