However, when he came continually, they refused to give him any more food. They

harvests if you work vary hard. If you are tired of the work, the padi plants

text is for questions 21 to 25
Every
country has people who are too poor to live a decent, comfortable life. They do
not have enough to eat. They live in shack that they have built for themselves
out of scraps of wood and metal-sometimes even out cardboard packing-cases.
Often they have no proper water supply or drains. When they are ill, they
cannot afford to go to the doctor. When they are cold, they have to look for
fuel to light a fire.
On the
hillsides in Brazil,
the shacks of the poor are piled on top of one another like old cars in a
scrap-yards. And scrap-yards are often what shanty towns are like places for
people who have nowhere else to go.
Thousand
of Brazilians leave the countryside each year and travel to the cities to seek
a better life. When they arrive, they find that things are no better than in
the country. There are few jobs to be had. The only way to find a place to
sleep-other than on the streets as many have to do-is to move in with friends
or build a shack of their own.
For these
people, sleeping is often the best way to forget how hard life is. If you
sleep, at least you might dream of better things.

This
text is for question 30 to 34
Governor
Sutiyoso has launched his mass rapid transportation plan. This includes
monorail, subway, water transportation, and Busway.
Among the public transportation plan, Busway
has been put into effect. The air conditioned bus fleet with their special
roads have been operated since last year. Now more routes are being constructed
to cover the five mayoralties. In fact, the existence of Busway makes pros and cons.
Some
people consider Busway can solve a
traffic problem faced by the metropolitan city. Every day millions of people
commute from their houses to their respective work places. This badly needs
adequate public transportation. If fifty persons go to their officer by cars,
they need fifty cars roaming on the street. This number of cars can be replaced
by only one Busway. Consequently,
with reduced vehicles the streets are less congested. Therefore, I can decline
traffic jams. Apart from reducing traffic jams, Busway eases Jakarta
inhabitants to go to their workplace or
other destination. For this reason more access on Busway is being accomplished. Other Busway roads. Have been constructed, such as, Kota-Kalideres, and
Kota-Polugadung. This definitely make easies for people who go for rcreation to
the zoo.
Besides
reducing traffic jam and comforting passengers, Busway can minimize air pollution. As stated, Busway can replace other vehicles in a great number. It apparently
declines the danger of pollution. Less vehicles means less carbon monoxide
coming out from the exhausted fumes. As a result, the residents of Jakarta are less
threatened with sickness caused by air
pollution. And it Busway
administration can manage the public transport well, Busway can create a new icon of Jakarta.
Those who
resist the existence of Busway argue
that instead of solving a problem, Busway
create a new problem. Busway even
makes traffic worse. The Busway line
makes the roads narrower. Narrow roads cause passing vehicles to get stuck
especially during rush hours. Furthermore, Busway
adds up corruption that has become a vicious circle in this country. As
reported in a newspaper the purchase of Busway
fleet is under corruption suspect. Billions of expense, Busway fare is also much expensive than an ordinary bus. It costs
Rp. 3.500 for once ride, while the common bus only costs Rp. 2.000. With the
difference in the bus fare, it is likely that passengers prefer to ride
ordinary buses.
Apparently,
Busway still creates different
outlooks among the residents of Jakarta.
In spite of all the critics, the governor of Jakarta firmly continues to extend its route.
15.
What does the text discuss?
A.
The benefit of Busway.
B.
The existence of Busway.
C.
The weakness of Busway.
D.
People who oppose Busway.
E.
People who support Busway.

A.
Busway is comfortable.
B.
Taking a public transport is easy.
C.
Mllions of people drive their cars.
D.
More Busway roads are being constructed.
E.
Busway benefit the city’s residents.
17.
What is the argument of people who are
against Busway?
A.
Busway fare is twice as much as that of
ordinary bus.
B.
Busway pollutes the capital city.
C.
Busway is not air conditioned.
D.
Busway is uncomfortable.
E.
Busway makes roads narrower.

transportation.

passengers.

word?

Dirty.

Smelly. .

question 45 to 47
My mother is a
fifty-year old widow. She and my father were very happy together – and I know
she has been very lonely since he died.
I am very fond of her but sometimes
her behavior is unreasonable. She is still quite attractive , even to men who
are much younger than she is. Recently she has been seeing a lot with a thirty-six-year-old
man whose wife died a few years ago in a car crash. I was very worried about
this, but said nothing about it until yesterday. That was when she told me she
intended to get married again. Can you guess who the “lucky man is?”
Naturally, I told her I would refuse
to come to the wedding or have anything more to do with her if she went ahead
with this crazy idea. But she refuse to listen the reason.
She doesn’t seem to understand I am
only trying to protect her from all the problem and unhappiness she will have.
Obviously, I can’t forbid her to get married. But there must be something I can
do to stop her. Don’t you agree that it is very likely the man is interested only her money?
