Tanit  +  565301 Fri, 12 Sep 08 04:58 PM This quiz is given by the University of Cambridge as a free sample of Paper 3 (Use of English), Part 1 (Selective cloze) of the ESOL Cambridge Certificate in Advanced English (CAE). The format of this exam is currently undergoing major changes, so from the December 2008 session onwards, it will be different. Anyway, are you ready to challenge your grasp of vocabulary and understanding of (apparently) similar words? Here we are! _____________________________________________ What we know about music and the brain. Work on the human brain has Selectexpressedguidedindicateddirected how different parts are centres of activity for different skills, feelings, perceptions and so on. It has also been shown that the left and right halves, or hemispheres, of the brain are Selectdependablereliableamenableresponsible for different functions. While language is processed in the left, or analytical hemisphere, music is processed in the right, or emotional hemisphere. SelectFactorsViewsAspectsPieces of music like tone, pitch and melody are all probably processed in different parts of the brain. Some features of musical experience are processed not just in the auditory parts of the brain, but in the visual ones. We don’t yet fully understand the Selectpropositionsexpectationsassumptionsimplications of this. The tempo of music seems to be Selectevidentlydirectlyplainlysurely related to its emotional impact, with fast music often Selectencounteredenduredfelttouched as happier and slower music as sadder. It is the same with the major biological rhythm of the body: our heart Selectpacepulseratespeed quickens when we’re happy, but slows when we’re sad.
