When we see and smell food, information is sent to our brains about the flavours to

out using bowls of peas, one with green food colour added, and one without. People

ate from each bowl, and (9) the flavour of the peas in both bowls being the same,

the greener peas were described as tasting fresher by every (10) person.

Part 6

Questions 41 – 45

Read the text and questions below.


For each question, circle the correct letter A, B, C or D.

Searching for music


My name’s Daniel and I’m a DJ. I’m always looking for different types of music, and one of
the styles I particularly enjoy playing is over thirty years old now. It comes from Africa, and
it’s called ‘Afrobeat’.

For a DJ, it’s great music – lively with a heavy beat that’s ideal for getting people onto the
dance floor. However, when I first got into it, getting hold of Afrobeat wasn’t easy. It was
mostly recorded on plastic vinyl records, and since then, the technology for recording and
playing music has changed completely. As a result, most old Afrobeat albums have been
thrown out or forgotten about, packed away in garages and spare rooms.

Searching the internet was little help; it was as if Afrobeat had disappeared. I tried placing ads
in newspapers instead and eventually located some vinyl records belonging to an African
musician. He let me have them, and I persuaded a record company to produce a few of the
tracks digitally, having first made sure the artists who had written and performed the music
would get a share of the profits. As far as I’m concerned, it’s bringing an old style back to life
that’s important, rather than making money for myself.

I search for unusual songs as part of my work as a DJ and because it’s fun. But the real
pleasure comes from seeing people dance to a type of music they’ve never even heard of
before, from every part of the world. And, of course, some of that music is on old vinyl
records. So, if your parents or grandparents have any at home that you think are just old
rubbish, have a listen to them and maybe you’ll change your mind!

41 What is Daniel’s main purpose in writing the article?


A to describe what it is like to be a DJ
B to explain his interest in a certain type of music
C to recommend that people sell their old records
D to encourage people to help him find music he can use

43 What does Daniel say about the Afrobeat records which he found?

B He helped the original musicians make money from them.
C He was worried about how to get them recorded again.
D He had to persuade the owner to sell them to him.
[1]

44 What does Daniel enjoy most about his work as a DJ?


A sharing the music he finds
B choosing the music to play
C travelling all over the world
