Read the following passage and then answer the questions below

Listening to music is one of the most enjoyable ways to spend your free time. There is a different type of music for every mood. If you're feeling sad, then it can be very comforting to listen to classical music. If you feel like dancing, then some loud disco or rock music could be just the thing. I've bought a new CD the other day; I was very impatient to get home and listen to it. I put it in the CD player and pressed "play", but something wrong happened. The CD wouldn't play. Imagine how upset I was! So I went back to the store in a hurry to tell them that the CD was damaged. On the way, I realized that I had forgotten the receipt at home, but I hoped that they would change the CD for me. They asked me when I had bought it, and then one of the shop assistants recognized me, so everything was fine. It would have been a lot worse if the assistant hadn't been there. I took another CD and went home impatiently to discover that the problem was in the CD player, not in the CD itself.

Answer these questions:

1 -Why does the writer like music?

2 -When do people usually listen to classical music?

3 -Why did the writer forget the receipt at home?

B) Choose the correct answer:

4 -The CD didn't play because ………………………

a) it was damaged b) the CD player was bad c) the writer forgot the receipt d) the writer was impatient

5 -The underlined word "impatient" means that the writer……………

a) didn't want to go home b) wanted to go home quickly

c) didn't like the CD d) wanted to dance
