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 to indicate the correct answer to each of the
questions.
Artificial intelligence (AI) and related technologies are increasingly prevalent in business and society;
besides, they have been applied to education. These technologies have the potential to transform many aspects of
the teaching - learning process.
Basic activities in education like grading can be automated with the help of AI. At educational institutes,
marking a large number of tests and assignments is tedious work. Teachers often find that grading takes up a
considerable amount of time which can be used to interact with students and prepare for class. AI, at present, may
not be able to actually replace human grading; however, it's getting pretty close. Nearly all kinds of multiple choice
and fill-in-the blank testing can now be performed by Al-driven machines, and automated grading of student writing
may not be far behind. Essay-grading softwares are still in their infancy, yet theywill be fully developed over the
coming years, allowing teachers to focus more on classroom activities and professional development.
Learners can also get additional support from AI. For instance, tutoring programs based on artificial
intelligence already exist to help students with basic courses of mathematics, writing, foreign language, etc. With
the rapid pace of technological advancement in recent years, sophisticated tutoring systems which can help students
learn high order thinking and stimulate their creativity will not be a pipe dream. Moreover, Al programs can give
learners useful feedback and assistance. Some schools, especially those with online courses, are using AI systems to
monitor students' progress. These systems not only offer students advice on individual courses but also help students
choose majors in accordance with areas where they succeed or struggle.
For better or worse, AI systems have taken place in certain types of classroom activities. In the next decades,
their influences will extend significantly, which offers both teacher and students a much wider range of services.
