A farmer came across a bird with a broken wing. He picked it up, took it home and looked after it lovingly, even though his wife complained bitterly about his wasting too much time on the creature.

After some time, the wing mended and, because the bird did not want the farmer to have kept on arguing with his wife all the time, it decided to go back to its nest.

When the farmer discovered that the bird was gone, he was so upset that he went out to look for it. Eventually, he found it again, and was greeted happily by the whole family of the bird.

To his surprise, the farmer found the box full of precious stones. When his wife saw them, she decided that she too deserved a reward, and she went to see the birds.

The following text is for questions 35 to 38.

HOUSE HUSBANDS’ HEART RISK
Most people assume that life in the rat race is bad for your health. But reversing the traditional gender roles, being a house husband is a stressful business, according to the latest research by American scientists. By giving up their jobs in order to become house husbands, men increase their risk of heart attack or coronary disease by as much as 82%, according to research based on 10 year study of 2.500 people in Boston, USA.

According to Dr Elaine Eaker, the key to the problem is that some men became stressed about performing a role not traditionally assign to them by society. Men who stay at home tend not to have the same levels of support from friends and family as women do the same.

Jack O’Sullivan, of the Father’s Direct group, was quoted as saying: “Society expects the main career should be a woman and society is structured around that. Day care is called mother and toddler groups and some men feel awkward about belonging to those groups.

Professor Gary Cooper, a psychologist at the University of Manchester, said many men tend to underestimate the task of caring for a family. He said “Most men think being a house husband involves putting on a bit of washing, taking the kids to school and then putting their feet up with a cup of coffee.

They are crazy. Most men are not used to performing a variety of activities simultaneously (the kind of multi-tasking which is second nature to most women).”

It is estimated that men have taken over the main homemaker’s role in one in seven homes, as increasing numbers of women become the main breadwinner. The study also found that women in high-powered jobs were more likely to develop heart disease than those in more junior positions.

35. The main idea of the first paragraph is ....      A. People living in the rat-race tend to have heart attacks      B. The research on house-husbands health involved 2500 people      C. Scientists did some research on the people’s health living in Boston      D. House husbands have understandable reasons why they gave up their jobs      E. The result of the research showed that house husbands tend to have heart attacks AnswerJawaban: E

36. “Some men became stressed about performing a role not traditionally assign to them by society.” (Paragraph 2) The statement above is the result of research done by ....      A. A psychologist      B. Jack O’Sullivan      C. Dr Elaine Eaker      D. An American scientist      E. Professor Gary Cooper AnswerJawaban: C

37. The purpose of the text is ....      A. To describe what a house husband is      B. To persuade readers not to become a house husband      C. To report the result of a research carried on by Dr Elain Eaker      D. To explain to readers why house husbands are subjects to heart attack      E. To inform readers that 82% of house husbands suffer from heart attacks AnswerJawaban: D

38. Some house husbands become stressed because ....      A. They are jobless      B. They earn less than their wives      C. Most people do not respect them      D. They do not join the daycare groups      E. They are not used to doing house keeping AnswerJawaban: E

The following text is for questions 39 and 42.

The ethnic groups in the mountain regions of southwest and central Sulawesi (Celebes) are known by the name of Toraja, which has come to mean “Those who live upstream” or “Those who live in the mountains”. Their name is in fact derived from the word Raja, which in Sanskrit means “King”. The society is hierarchically structured (the noblemen are called rengnge, the ordinary people to makaka, and the slaves to kaunan) birth determines which rank a person will occupy.

The distinctive features of the traditional houses (tongkonan) of the Toraja are the “Buffalo horns”, the roof design and the rich decoration on the walls. The buffalo is a symbol of status, courage, strength, and fi ghting spirit.

Designed as a representation of the universe, the tongkonan is constructed in three parts: the upper world (the roof), the world of humans (the middle of the building), and the underworld (the space under the fl oor). The highly distinctive roofs constructed by the Toraja have given rise to various ingenious interpretations. Certainly the roof is something of deep signifi cance for the Toraja, and even today they build “Modern” (in other words houses built with cement) houses with such roofs.

39. What is the text about?      A. The culture of Toraja      B. The society of Toraja      C. The distinctive features of traditional houses      D. The description of a traditional house of Toraja      E. The ethnic groups of southwest and central Sulawesi AnswerJawaban: D

40. “... and even today they build modern ... “ (paragraph 3) The underlined word refers to ....      A. Raja      B. Rengnge      C. Society      D. Toraja people      E. Mountain regions AnswerJawaban: D

41. What are the ordinary people commonly called?      A. Tongkonan      B. Makaka      C. Celebes      D. Rengnge      E. Kaunan AnswerJawaban: B

42. Which of the following does not symbolize a buffalo?      A. Status      B. Courage      C. Strength      D. Cowardice      E. Fighting spirit AnswerJawaban: D

The following text is for questions 43 to 46.

Antibiotic is a drug produced by certain microbes. Antibiotics destroy other microbes that damage human tissues. They are used to treat a wide variety of diseases, including gonorrhea, tonsillitis, and tuberculosis.

Antibiotics are sometimes called “Wonder drugs” because they can cure diseases such as meningitis, pneumonia, and scarlet fever. But, when the antibiotics are overused or misused, these drugs make a person sensitive being attacked by a superbug.

Antibiotics do not always distinguish between harmless and dangerous microbes. If a drug destroys too many harmless microorganism, the pathogenic ones (the dangerous microbes) will have a greater chance to multiply. This situation often leads to the development of a new infection called suprainfection.

Extensive use of some antibiotics may damage organs and tissues. For example, streptomycin, which is used to treat tuberculosis, has caused kidney damage and deafness.

Resistance to antibiotics may be ecquired by pathogenic microbes. The resistant microbes transfer genetic material to non-resistant microbes and cause them to become resistant. During antibiotic treatment, non-resistant microbes are destroyed, but resistant types survive and multiply.

To avoid the side effect of antibiotics, you’d better not urge your doctor to prescribe antibiotics. Keep in mind that antibiotics are only useful for bacterial infections and have no effect on viruses, so they cannot be used for chicken pox, measles, and other viral diseases.

43. Which diseases cannot be cured by antibiotics?      A. Tonsillitis      B. Meningitis      C. Chicken pox      D. Tuberculosis      E. Scarlet fever AnswerJawaban: C

44. What are discussed in paragraph two and four?      A. Both paragraphs describe how antibiotics work      B. Both paragraphs tell about the effects of misusing antibiotics      C. Both paragraphs explain how antibiotics damage organs and tissues      D. Paragraph two tells what causes the pathogenic microbes multiply and paragraph four tells how the un-resistant microbes become resistant      E. Paragraph two tells how antibiotics destroy harmless microbes and paragraph four describes how the pathogenic microbes transfer genetic material to non-resistant microbes AnswerJawaban: E

45. Choose one from the following which is not the effect of using antibiotics improperly?      A. Organs and tissues are damaged      B. The pathogenic microbes multiply      C. Harmless microorganisms are destroyed      D. Pathogenic microbes become nonresistant      E. New infection which is called suprainfention develops AnswerJawaban: D

46. “Antibiotics do not always distinguish between harmless and dangerous microbes.”(paragraph 2) The underlined word means ....      A. Vary      B. Compare      C. Correlate      D. Contradict      E. Differentiate AnswerJawaban: E

The following text is for questions 47 to 50.

Should performance enhancing drugs be accepted in sports?

The issue of using drugs to enhance athlete’s performance is controversial. Those who agree to the use of drugs in enhancing performance say that most top players in all sports take drugs to train harder and feel no pain during play. The trainers, sports doctors, nutritionists, physiotherapists, and managers of the big names make sure banned substances are taken at the safest and most efficient levels. The main effect of banning such substances has turned performers and their coaches into liars and cheaters.

On the other hand, some still believe that performance enhancing drugs in sport should be banned. Performance enhancing drugs are not only prohibited because they violate the spirit of sport but because they can damage the health of athletes.

I think the idea of allowing them in sports could lead to a situation whereby sportsmen and women are used as human guinea pigs for a constant fl ow of new, unregulated substances.

47. What argument is given by those who disagree with the use of performance enhancing drugs?      A. Athletes health is badly affected      B. Guinea pigs are awfully needed      C. Athletes consume more drugs      D. Athletes obey the rules      E. Athletes perform better AnswerJawaban: A

48. According to the proponents of performance enhancing drugs, the effect of banning them is that performers become ....      A. Losers      B. Winners      C. Cheaters      D. Hooligans      E. Supporters AnswerJawaban: C

49. What is the writer’s intention to write the text?      A. To persuade readers to agree with the issue      B. To influence readers to oppose the issue      C. To describe performance enhancing drugs      D. To entertain readers with the issue      E. To expose readers with the issue AnswerJawaban: E

50. How does the writer feel about the performance enhancing drugs?      A. Neutral      B. Positive      C. Negative      D. Indefinite      E. Pessimistic AnswerJawaban: C
