Music has been integral to our lives. Not all types of music have favorable effects, for example, if it is too loud or noisy or it distracts us from our work. However, in general, surprising benefits for health of music exposure have been discovered.

Overall, music has beneficial effects in pain relief. Listening to music can reduce sensation caused by chronic pain by up to 21% and depression by 25%. Music therapy, therefore, has been applied together with medication to reduce pain during childbirth and surgeries.

Research also shows that music also modifies heartbeat and blood pressure within a positive range. The heart beats faster as we listen to lively music and when the music slows, so do our heart and breath rate. In another study, old people suffering from high blood pressure reported significantly lower blood pressure as a result of listening to calm music after 30 minutes.

Apart from all those benefits, other effects are related to better sleep, strengthened memory and better general health. Most researchers conclude that our preference of music doesn't play the main role, but the tempo and the theme of the music we are exposed to are the most important factors that affect the remedy results.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on the answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 21 to 24 (1.0 point).

Donating to orphanages can make a big difference in the lives of children who do not have parents to care for them. Orphanages provide shelter, food, education, and love to children who might otherwise be alone. Many people choose to donate money, clothes, toys, or even their time to help support these children. Donations help pay for things like school supplies, food, and medical care, which are all very important for a child’s growth and well-being.

One example of how donations can help is when people give money to build new classrooms or buy computers for the children. This allows them to learn new skills and gain an education, which can change their future. Volunteers who donate their time by teaching or playing with the children help them feel cared for and loved. This is very important because it makes the children feel delighted and supported.

However, it is not just about giving money. Sometimes, those generous people organize events to collect donations or raise awareness about the needs of orphanages. These events bring communities together and encourage more people to help. When people donate, they become part of a big team that supports children in need and makes sure they have a brighter future. In the end, even small donations can have a big impact, and every little bit counts.

From retail goods to food, 3D printing technology promises to change the way we think about everyday things. It’s difficult to predict what impact it will have on manufacturing but, whatever the exact effects, they are likely to be deep and long- lasting.

Also known as “additive manufacturing”, 3D printing refers to processes where an object is put together by layering materials under programmed commands. Objects an be of almost any shape and are produced from digital model data or other electronic data sources, such as an Additive Manufacturing File.

The invention of 3D printing opens the way for manufacturers to significantly reduce the production cost of their goods by eliminating many steps in the manufacturing process and the complete production process, with 3D printing, what would have initially been a series of stages of production could be cut down to a designer at one end, and the printer or “manufacturer” at the other.

Such reductions in the manufacturing process could affect both regional and international production networks, possibly resulting in reduced capital requirements, warehousing and other logistics and transportation needs. This change in production systems could potentially alter the very idea of nations’ economic security. It could; for instance, destroy countries’ carefully laid development plans for creating employment and investment in logistics and warehousing, regardless of economic development level. What might happen to global production networks under such an influential technology?

(Adapted from https://theconversation.com/how-3d-printing-could-disrupt-asias-manufacturing-economies)

A.   The Future of 3D Printing Technology           

B. The Impact of 3D Printing Technology

C. The Introduction of 3D Printing Technology   

D. The Advantages of 3D Printing Technology

Question 22: The word “their” in paragraph 3 refers to                    .

A. objects’                B. processes’              C. manufacturers’         D. stages’

Question 23: The word “alter” in paragraph 4 is closest in meaning to _____

A. remain              B. change                      C. keep                  D. develop 

Question 24: According to paragraph 4, what is TRUE about the impact of 3D printing on global production networks?

A. It could result in reduced international trade.

B. It could lead to a decline in the use of digital model data.

C. It might encourage countries to invest more in logistics and warehousing.

D. It might have negative effects on the existing production networks.
