► PART 6: read the text and the questions in this part, for questions 41 – 45 choose A, B or C according to the circumstances.

Imagine if everyone in your street suddenly came out into the road one day and started singing together. Singing teacher Ruth
Black believes it would make everyone so friendly that they would never walk past each other again without saying hello. Singing
helps people live in peace together, she says. All over the world people have always sung together and in most places, they still
do, but in England it is no longer traditional. Nowadays, says Ruth, people only sing together in churches and football grounds,
although it could be done anywhere. Everyone is able to sing, she says, but most of us either think we can't or have forgotten
what we learned as children. However, as with everything musical, you need to practice and the same applies to your voice. Ruth
believes that singing itself brings other benefits. It encourages good breathing, for example. Through singing, people often become
more confident and also learn to control stress. But more than anything, it brings people together. When Ruth first started singing,
there was little opportunity to sing with others. Then, through a friend, she discovered an excellent singing class and became so
keen that she started running her own classes. These are held twice a month for all singers, whatever their level, and are now
enormously successful.

learn to sing.
42. What can the reader find out from the article? A. How singing is something anyone can do B. Where the best places to
learn to sing are. C. Why traditional singing has disappeared. D. How to improve your voice.
43. How does Ruth think singing with other people can help you? A. You learn to breathe more easily. B. You are able to
improve your speaking. C. You can get to know other people. D. You become a confident musician.
44. What made Ruth start her own class? A. She couldn't find a suitable class. B. She was asked to teach people she knew.
C. She wanted to improve her own teaching. D. She enjoyed going to a singing class herself.
