one another.
Buyers as a group, determined the overall demand for a particular product at
various prices. The interaction of buyers and sellers in the market helps to
determine the market price, thereby allocating scarce goods and services efficiently.
The price is taken into account when deciding how much of something to consume
and how much to produce
The relationship between price and quantity demanded is so universal that is called
the law of demand. This law states that with all else equal, when the price of goods
rises, the quantity demanded falls; when the price fall, the quantity demanded rises.
The supply curve provides the opposite information: the higher the price, the higher
the quantity supplied-and the lower the price, the lower the quantity supplied. A
key function of the market is to find equilibrium price when supply and demand are
in balance. At this price, the goods supplied are equal to what is being demanded
thereby bringing about the most efficient allocation of the goods. An efficient
allocation of goods in the market is one in which 7 no one can be made better off
unless someone else is made worse off.
23. According to a law of demand, the quantity of consumption and production of goods is

A. the price

A. More people buy a good when its getting more expensive

B. The price of good rises when more people buy it

C. The rice of goods falls when fewer people buy it

D. Fewer people buy goods when its prices rises

fails to fit the Brazilian stereotype of the kid from the favela who first played the game
in the street with a ball made from rags. Coming from comfortable and cultured family,
Kaka kept up his studies as long as they were compatible with this profession.
His talent was soon recognized. A professor called the family and suggested
enrolling him in a football school. At age 8, Kaka was playing with Sao Paulo F.C.,
where he succeeded in all categories. At age 14, Kaka used to wake up two hours early,
to keep up with his studies. Kaka managed to conclude the intermediary cycle (eleven
years) in Brazil, before dedicating exclusively to football.
In 2006, only 24 years old, Kaka was one of the main Brazilian players in the
World Cup. Despite abundance of good players, coach Carlos Alberto Parreira already

Nowadays, many people realize that agriculture is much more important

than other supporting tools in economic development. In Indonesia,
agriculture should be the priority of development for good reasons.
First, the agriculture condition in the beginning of the development of the
country was the highest of all sectors. At present, almost half of the
Indonesian laborers work in the agriculture sector, but the contribution of
the agriculture sector does not reach 30 per cent.
Second, the agriculture sector is expected to fulfill the need for food in the
country. As the population increases at alarming rate each year, food supply
must also increase, but the agriculture production per capita never increases
more than one per cent each year and in extreme cases, it is stagnant.
Last but not least, without agricultural development, the growth of
industrial sector will be hampered because the growth that comes from
industry will create a wider gap to the internal economy in that country. In
turn, this gap will create serious poverty problems, wider inequality of
income distribution, and increased unemployment. It is therefore, obvious
that the government should make agriculture the priority of the national
development.
11
34. What is the percentage of the contribution of the agriculture sector to the Indonesian
economic development?

A. Less than ten per cent

B. About twenty per cent

C. About thirty per cent

D. Below thirty per cent

E. Above thirty per cent

35. According to the text, in order to support economic development, the government should.

A. produce more food as priority

B. reduce laborers in the agriculture sector

C. supply more food for the national needs

D. increase the industrial sector as the first priority

E. prioritize the development of the agriculture

36. .it is stagnant (paragraph 3). The underlined word is closest in meaning to.

A. Move

B. Immobile

C. Surge

D. Arise Do women Deserve Higher Education?

E. Flow
The issue we are discussing is whether women need higher education or not. Some
people think that there is no use for women to get higher education, for womens main role is
in their households and surroundings. Thus, knowing about practical household management
is sufficient for women to lead their lives.
In addition, higher education does not ensure women to get better life, so why bother
about it? There are many examples of women who are successful in their lives although they

children and participating in community activities.
On the other hand, some other people believe that women also have the right to get
higher education. They claim that education is important for everyone including women
because it is one way to improve the quality of life. Therefore, every woman must get
education as high as she can achieve.
A further point they make is that higher education is not just the matter of achieving a
better position in community or working environment.
12 More importantly, it is the way to
empower women and to give them better understanding of life and universe.
In other words, women have the same right to get higher education as men do.
However, it is also their right to take the chance or just to leave it.
37. What are mainly discussed in paragraph 2 and 4?

A. Both paragraphs support that women have the same right as men to get higher education

B. Both paragraphs argue that women dont have the same right as men to get higher
education

C. Unlike the second paragraph, the fourth paragraph argues that education is important for
everyone

D. Unlike the fourth paragraph, the second paragraph argues that higher education does not
ensure women to get better life

E. The second paragraph supports that education is the way to empower women, but
paragraph four does not.

38. What is needed by everyone to improve the quality of life?

A. Higher education

B. Average education

C. Practical household

D. Household management

E. Community participation

Dear Editor,

Summer is a time when the children are outdoors, engaged in many forms of activities.
Watching out for traffic is likely the last thing on their mind.
In 2007 many children aged 14 and younger were killed on the roads of our state. The
most recent national statistics released by the National Highway Traffic Safety
Administration show that almost one-fifth (306 children, 18%) of the traffic fatalities in the
14-and younger age group were pedestrians. Of the 305 children who were killed while on
foot, boys accounted for 61% of the total. In addition to the pedestrians fatalities, an
estimated 14, 000 children were injured as pedestrians.
Every adult member of our community needs to become educated about and watch out
for vulnerable child pedestrians. Many myths surround child pedestrians safety such as
Youre safe as long as youre on a crosswalk and If you see the driver, the driver sees
you. Parents need to take immediate action to make sure that their children are informed on
the dos and donts of pedestrian safety. Local governments need to make the construction,
maintenance and enforcement of safe walkways a priority. For example, roads cold be
constructed to include more speed bumps to reduce speed and police officers could be
strategically posted at high traffic areas to monitor drivers.
Lets enjoy our summer outdoor activities, but lets be smart and safe. One childs
death is too many.
