2. Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to
each of the questions.
People often listen to music to get in the mood. Recently, there is scientific research to back up what
we have always known about music. The studies have shown that when people are excited or happy,
they are more helpful. The opposite happens when people feel aggressive or under stress. The use of
music can influence how helpful people can be.
Dr Adrian North made a study with 256 university students. Half the group took exercise in the
gymnasium listening to music which can bring happiness and the other half exercised to aggressive
music. When leaving the gym, the student were asked to hand out flyers in support of the local
disabled athlete's foundation
The results showed that nearly half of the group that listened to happy music were willing to hand out
flyers. But in the group that heard the aggressive music, less than 20% were willing. This study
suggests that our choice of music can influence our willingness to cooperate. While a study also
shows that productivity can increase with the right choice of background music in the workplace. As
music stimulates workers' minds, job satisfaction is often positively influenced. Other studies have
shown that workers who are in a good mood report more job satisfaction than thos e in a bad mood.
These studies show that music can have a powerful influence on a person's ability to cooperate.
Moods have a direct influence on cooperation and job satisfaction etc. These factors also have a direct
relationship to the success of a business.
