Paper is named for papyrus, a reed like plant used by ancient Egyptians as writing
material more than 5000 years ago. The Chinese invented the paper that we use 2000 years
ago.
A piece of paper is really made up of tiny fibers, unlike a piece of material. The
fibers used in paper, however, are plant fibers, and there are millions of them in one sheet.
In addition to the plant fiber, dyes and additives such as resin may be used. Dyes can make
the paper different colors; resin may add weight and texture.
Where do these fibers come from? The majority of paper is made from the plant fiber that
comes from trees. Millions are cut down, but new trees are planted in their place. Paper may be
also made from things like old rags or pieces of cloth. Wastepaper, paper that has been made and
used, can be turned into recycled paper. This recycling process saves forest, energy and reduces
air and water pollution.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate
the correct answer to each of the questions.
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.
Question 28. The text is about__________.
A. The science of music B. Music and an angry person
C. Understanding music D. The effects of music on human feelings
Question 29. Music__________.
A. cannot be chosen B. affects us in different ways
C. affects everybody in the same way D. never makes us angry
Question 30. According to the text, __________.
A. Everybody likes jazz B. a very angry person sometimes do not accept
music
C. No one likes jazz D. Jazz always makes us feel better
Question 31. In ancient cultures, there used to be a science that concerned the effects of music
in__________.
A. Greece B. China C. India D. Turkey
