Where would you expect to find the world's most expensive home? New York? Hollywood? Tokyo? In fact, it's in India's largest city, Mumbai. Mumbai has been growing rapidly over the last 20 years, and it now has a population of 12.5 million. The city has been getting richer, too; there are over 60 billionaires in India, and about 20 of them are residents of Mumbai. One of these, MukeshAmbani, has created the world's most expensive family home, “Antilia", a huge 27-story contemporary building overlooking the ocean. The house took more than three years to build. It was completed in 2010, and the Ambani family moved in a year later. No one knows exactly how much Mr. Ambani paid for it, but most experts agree that the total cost was at least US$1 billion. The house catersto every possible need, with a number of swimming pools, a huge library, a gym, a theatre, and hanging gardens over four stories. There is a spacious health club and an “ice room” full of artificial snow for people who want to chill out in the Mumbai heat. Mr. Ambani's family consists of his wife Nita, their three children, and his mother - but the house has plenty of room for guests. On the first six stories of the building there are parking spaces for more than 160 cars, and there are three helicopter landing pads on the roof. Even when there aren't any visitors, the Ambani family won't be on their own; the house is so big that it needs hundreds of staff to run it. Of course, from the top of the house the views over the ocean and the city are spectacular. However, some of the largest slums in Asia are in Mumbai, and they are so vast that it's impossible not to notice them from the top of Antilia. And this is why some Mumbai residents are unhappy about the building. They have questioned whether it is right to spend so much money on a family home in a city where thousands of people live in cramped, dirty accommodation - and where thousands more have no home at all. But is this criticism fair? Mr. Ambani has certainly spent a huge amount of money on his luxurious home, but there is no doubt that he and his wife have helped the local community in many ways. They have built a school and a hospital, for example, and Mr. Ambani's company employs thousands of Indian people. Antilia's architects were American, but most of the construction workers were local. The people of Mumbai have been arguing about Antilia ever since it was built. The disagreements will probably continue for years to come. (Text adapted from: https://goo.gl/4ediiG) Question 28.

Read the following passage and circle the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 35 to 42.

Since the earliest days of human civilization, people have been aware of the healing power of music. Over two thousand years ago, the Ancient Greek doctor Hippocrates recommended playing music to patients who were depressed, and nowadays people still rely on music to improve or enhance their mood.

Val Robinson is a typical music therapist. She loved music when she was at school and attained a high level of proficiency with several instruments. “The piano was the instrument that I liked most," she says. “But I didn't want to be a professional musician because I didn't enjoy performing in front of a big audience. I wanted to help people, but I didn't want to be a nurse or a doctor. So I decided to train as a music therapist."

The room where Val treats her clients is full of different musical instruments. It looks like a classroom at a music school, but, despite appearances, a music therapy session isn't like a lesson. “Many of my clients are young people with behavioural disorders such as autism," says Val. “They can be very anxious and withdrawn, and they find socializing difficult."

In their sessions, Val often works with small groups of clients and they play on different instruments. “They can all try different instruments and choose one that suits them," explains Val. “Improvising is a sociable, fun activity which helps the young people feel more confident and involved." Clients like these also sometimes have difficulty putting their emotions into words. “I help them express themselves through composing and playing music," Val adds. “After the therapy session, they usually feel much more positive."

Music therapy can help people with physical problems, too. “Some of my clients are older people with serious or terminalillnesses such as cancer. Many of them are having treatment which is long and painful," says Val. "I visit them at the hospital or at home, and we play music together, or some clients prefer simply to listen to music. Music makes them feel calmer, and takes their mind off their treatment."
