III. Reading
A. Read the passage then choose the best answer: (1.25pts)

Music influences people in different ways or the same person differently at different times.
Music may seem to influence people differently. That is because people can react differently to

the music. We are able to apply a choosing process to the music we hear. If someone hates jazz,
then a jazz piece with a positive effect will probably not make him feel good. A happy song
might appear to make an angry person angrier, yet it is not the music itself that is creating the
anger; rather it is the positive effect of the music. The angry person does not want to accept the
song's happy feeling: it points out his already existing anger, and makes that anger come to the
surface. When a piece of music is played and we are listening to it, our body, mind, and feelings
are being affected. The musicians of ancient cultures such as China, India, Turkey and Greece
understood the effects of music. In fact, Pathagoras, in ancient Greece, introduced a whole
science that concerned them. Because the musicians of these ancient cultures understood these
effects, they created music that was positive, uplifting, and beneficial. Once the effects of music
are better understood, the next step is to gain a better understanding of the music around us, and
what effect it is actually having.
1. The text is about_____.
A. The science of music

B. Understanding music

C. The effects of music on human feelings

(1.25pts)

The climate in Bach Ma National Park is tropical with two distinctive seasons caused by the monsoon winds. The weather
conditions in the park area can change very quickly. In the morning, it is sunny but it may be cloudy with heavy rain in the afternoon.
Because of the proximity of the sea there are often strong winds. Admittedly, the park supports a very large number of plant and animal
species. This is partly due to the variations in altitude and also because the park is located within the transition area of two biogeographical zones containing species from northern and southern Vietnam. The vegetation includes two main formations: tropical
lowland forest below 900 m and sub-tropical forest between 900 and 1450 m – the latter being the richest and less disturbed by human
influence. The flora of Bach Ma includes at least 1,400 species which represent around one-fifth of the entire flora of Vietnam. The
fauna is considered to contain half of all mammals known in Vietnam. 43 species of mammals have been identified in the park and
further 76 species have been listed as potentially present, considering their overall range of distribution. Nine species of primates have
been confirmed in Bach Ma. 330 species of birds that have been observed in the park represent over one-third of the species found in
Vietnam.
1. It can be inferred from the passage that

within the day.
B. Tourists can enjoy both the northern and southern climates in the park.

A. Monkeys can be found in the park.
