correct answer to each of the questions from 29 to 33.

A recent study shows that an unequal share of household chores is still the norm in many
families, despite the fact that many more women now have jobs. In a survey, men said they contributed
an average of 37 per cent of the total housework; while the women estimated their share to be nearly
double that, at 70 per cent. This ratio was not affected by whether the woman was working or not.
When they were asked what they thought was a fair division of labor, women with jobs felt that
housework should be shared equally between male and female partners. Women who did not work
outside the home were satisfied to perform 80 per cent if their husband did the remainder. Research

3
has shown that if levels increase beyond these percentages, women become unhappy and anxious, and
feel they are unimportant.
After marriage, a woman is reported to increase her household workload by 14 hours per week,
but for men the increased amount is just 90 minutes. So the labor division becomes unbalanced. It is the
inequality and loss of respect, not the actual number of hours, which leads to anxiety and depression.
The research describes household chores as thankless and unfulfilling. Women who have jobs report
that they feel overworked by the chores in addition to their professional duties.
In cases where men perform most of the housework, results were similar. The research showed
that the least distressed people are those who have an equal share. The research concludes, “Everybody
benefits from sharing the housework. Even for the women keeping house, a shared division of labor is
important. If you decide to stay at home to raise the children, you don’t want to become the servant of
the house.”

correct answer to each of the questions from 34 to 40.

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.
