Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart’s was the only-surviving son of Leopold and Maria Pertl
Mozart. Leopold was a successful composer, violinist, and assistant concert master at the Salzburg court.
Wolfgang's mother, a constantly ill housewife, was born to a middle class family of local community
leaders. His only sister was Maria Anna. With their father’s encouragement and guidance, they both were
introduced to music at an early age. Leopold started Anna on keyboard when she was seven, as three-
year old Wolfgang looked on. Mimicking her playing, Wolfgang quickly began to show a strong
understanding of chords, tonality, and tempo. Soon, he too was being tutored by his father.
Leopold was a devoted and task-oriented teacher to both his children. He made the lessons
fun, but also insisted on a strong work ethic and perfection. Fortunately, both children excelled well in
these areas. Recognising their special talents, Leopold devoted much of his time to their education in
music as well as other subjects. Wolfgang soon showed signs of excelling beyond his father's teachings
with an early composition at age five and demonstrating outstanding ability on harpsichord and the
violin. He would soon go on to play the piano, organ and viola.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to each of
the questions.
Health promotion and disease prevention programs focus on keeping people healthy.
Health promotion programs aim to engage and empower individuals and communities to choose healthy
behaviours and make changes that reduce the risk of developing chronic diseases and other morbidities.
Defined by the World Health Organization, health promotion is: “The process of enabling people to
increase control over, and to improve, their health. It moves beyond a focus on individual behaviour
towards a wide range of social and environmental interventions.”
Disease prevention differs from health promotion because it focuses on specific efforts
aimed at reducing the development and severity of chronic diseases and other morbidities. Wellness is
related to health promotion and disease prevention. Wellness is described as the attitudes and active
decisions made by an individual that contribute to positive health behaviours and outcomes. Health
promotion and disease prevention programs often address social determinants of health, which influence
modifiable risk behaviours. Social determinants of health are the economic, social, cultural, and political
conditions in which people are born, grow, and live that affect health status. Modifiable risk behaviours
include, for example, tobacco use, poor eating habits, and lack of physical activity, which contribute to
the development of chronic disease.
