Q.2) Mobility is considered as the ability to move easily and it plays a big role in

use are expected to always be in a good condition because the company has
set standards for what vehicles that can be used by the driver to pick up
customers.  It is all because online transportation company wants to make
sure that they have the value - making their customers feel comfortable, so
we'll have no doubt when choosing what we should ride.

Q.6) Taj Mahal, an epitome of love, is actually a mausoleum. Standing
majestically on the banks of River Yamuna, the Taj Mahal is synonymous
with love and romance. Taj Mahal was constructed by Mughal Emperor
Shah Jahan in the memory of his beloved wife and queen. The name “Taj
Mahal” was derived from the name of Shah Jahan’s wife, Mumtaz Mahal,
which means crown of palaces.
            Taj Mahal represents the finest architectural and artistic
achievement. The mausoleum was constructed of pure white marble. The
white marble is inlaid with semiprecious stones (including jade, crystal,
lapis lazuli, amethyst and turquoise) that form the intricate designs. Its
central dome reaches a height of 240 feet (73 meters). The dome is
surrounded by four smaller domes. Four slender towers, or minarets, stand
at the corners. Inside the mausoleum, an octagonal marble chamber adorned
with carvings and semiprecious stones house the false tomb of Mumtaz
Mahal. Her actual remains lie below, at garden level.
            Taj Mahal shows shades of magnificent beauty at different time
during the day. At dawn when the first rays of the sun hits the dome of this
epic monument, it radiates like a heavenly pinkish palace. At daytime,
when the sky is bright and clear, the Taj looks milky white. At a moonlit
night when the full moon rays fall on the glistening white marble, the cool
moon rays reflect back from the white marble and give the Taj Mahal a
tinge of blue color. It’s simply breathtaking! With such beauty, no wonder
that Taj Mahal becomes one of the Seven Wonders of the World.

With its impressive beauty, Taj Mahal … into one of the Seven Wonders of

Q.7) Hansel and Gretel were the children of a poor woodcutter. One day, the
children’s stepmother persuaded their father to take the children and
abandon them in the forest. The first time, Hansel left a trail of pebbles
along the way and found the way back. Next time, the father took them
deeper into the forest, and Hansel left breadcrumbs to find their way back.
But when the children tried to find their way back home they found that the
birds had eaten the crumbs. So the children were lost in the woods.
They wandered in the forest and soon discovered a house made entirely of
 gingerbread and sweets. Hungry and tired, the children began to eat the
rooftop of the house when the door opens. An old woman – the owner of
the house – kindly invited them inside. Not knowing that this old woman
was a witch who built a gingerbread house to lure children into her trap.
She imprisoned Hansel and made Gretel her slave. The old witch planned to
eat both children.
When the witch made preparations to bake Hansel, she told Gretel to start
the fire. Gretel lied that she couldn’t tell if the fire in the oven had started.
The witch shoved her aside and leaned into the oven to check. Gretel
pushed the witch into the oven and shut the door, then she took her brother
out of the cage and escaped from the gingerbread house carrying lot food
and precious jewels. When they reached home, their stepmother had died,
and the father happily welcomed them back.

“Next time, the father took them deeper into the forest, and Hansel left ….”

Q.8) The history of the Alhambra is linked with the geographical place where it
is located: Granada, Spain. On a rocky hill that is difficult to access, on the
banks of the river Darro, protected by mountains and surrounded by woods,
among the oldest quarters in the city, the Alhambra rises up like an
imposing castle with reddish tones in its ramparts that prevent the outside
world from seeing the delicate beauty they enclose.
Originally designed as a military area, the Alhambra became the residence
of royalty and of the court of Granada in the middle of the thirteenth
century, after the establishment of the Nasrid kingdom and the construction
of the first palace, by the founder king Mohammad ibn Yusuf ben Nasr,
better known as Alhamar.
Throughout the thirteenth, fourteenth and fifteenth centuries, the fortress
became a citadel with high ramparts and defensive towers, which house two
main areas: the military area, or Alcazaba, the barracks of the royal guard,
and the medina or court city, the location of the famous Nasrid Palaces and
the remains of the houses of noblemen and plebeians who lived there. The
Charles V Palace, (which was built after the city was taken by the Catholic
Monarchs in 1492) is also in the medina.
 The complex of monuments also has an independent palace opposite the
Alhambra, surrounded by orchards and gardens, which was where the
Granadine kings relaxed: the Generalife.
The Alhambra is ... on a rocky hill and protected by mountains and
surrounded by woods that prevent people to see its beauty.

Q.12) Ragunan Zoo management in South Jakarta has complained about a plan to
implement an e-ticketing system supported by the JakOne Card, an e-
money mobile app from city-owned Bank DKI.
Ragunan head Dina Himawati has particularly objected to a point that
requires the zoo to deposit Rp 20 billion (US$1.49 million) to Bank DKI for
the implementation of the system.
"We have no idea how the plan works. The money is deposited to the bank,
in our account. We feel like the Rp 20 billion is used for the operation of
the card, including for top-up funds," Dina said at the City Council building
in Central Jakarta as quoted by kompas.com.
Dina said the money was needed by the zoo, particularly in an emergency
when the city administration suffered a deficit. She added that a change in
regulation may be needed.
"Cooperation is meant to benefit both sides. There are many things to be
evaluated," she said.
Two types of JakOne cards are offered to visitors. The first one displays
Ragunan's animals and is priced at Rp 30,000, containing Rp 20,000 credit
balance. The second one displays animation, and is priced at Rp 60,000
with Rp 50,000 credit balance.

Q.14)           One hot day, an ant was seeking for some water. After walking
around for a moment, she came to a spring. To reach the spring, she had to
climb up a blade of grass. While making her way up, she slipped and fell
unintentionally into the water.

Seeing that the ant was in trouble, the dove quickly put off a leaf from a tree
and dropped it immediately into the water near the struggling ant. Then the
ant moved towards the leaf and climbed up there. Soon it carried her safely
to dry ground.
          Not long after at that, there was a hunter nearby who was throwing
out his net towards the dove, hoping to trap it in this way.

Q.16) Beggars have become a big problem for us today.  They come as a street
musicians, street boys, ’sick’ people, ’lost’ people, or just beggars. As their
number is getting bigger, the municipal government feels the need to set a
regulation to ban beggars. Many people support this.
They say that begging makes people lazy and bad survivors. They are like
parasites. Criminals take advantage of their existence. Car drivers are
strong-armed in crossroads, motorbike are seized, trucks are hijacked, etc.
A man in a rural area takes them to the city with his truck in the morning
and picks them up in the afternoon. They have made an agreement to share
what they get. Some children are reported to have been kidnaped not for
ransom. They are forced to be beggars.
Some people, however, say that we must help the beggars. They become the
beggars because they have no choice. What the get every day is only
enough for buying food. Being a beggar is better than being a thief or a
robber. So it is high time to apply their religious teaching to care for others.
In addition, what they do is to help the government to check crime-rates.
Despite the controversy of their existence, beggars continue to color the life
 of urban people.    
“In addition, what they do is to help the government to check crime-rates.”
(paragraph 3).

Q.23) Michael Jordan (born February 17, 1963) is a professional American

basketball player, Olympic athlete, businessperson and actor. Considered
one of the best basketball players ever, Michael Jordan dominated the sport
from the mid-1980s to the late 1990s. He led the Chicago Bulls to six
National Basketball Association championships and earned the NBA's Most
Valuable Player Award five times. With five regular-season MVPs and
three All-Star MVPs, Jordan became the most decorated player in the NBA.
Jordan is also known for his product endorsements. He fuelled the success
of Nike's Air Jordan sneakers, which were introduced in 1985 and remain
popular today.[7] Jordan also starred in the 1996 film Space Jam as himself.
In 2006, he became part-owner and head of basketball operations for the
then-Charlotte Bobcats, buying a controlling interest in 2010. In 2015,
Jordan became the first billionaire NBA player in history as a result of the
increase in value of NBA franchises. He is the third-richest African-
American, behind Oprah Winfrey and Robert F. Smith.
In 1989, Michael Jordan married Juanita Vanoy. They had three children
together: Jeffrey, Marcus and Jasmine. After 17 years of marriage, the
couple divorced in December 2006.
In 2007, Michael Jordan’s eldest son, Jeffrey Jordan, made the basketball
team at the University of Illinois. Both Michael Jordan and his ex-wife
Juanita have supported their son and tried to help him deal with playing in
the shadow of an NBA legend. "He wants to be a basketball player, but he
wants to do it on his own terms .The thing that we have tried to tell Jeff is
that you set your own expectations. By no means in this world can you ever
live up to someone else's expectations of who you are," Michael Jordan said
during an appearance on the Today show.
On April 27, 2013, Jordan married 35-year-old Cuban-American model
Yvette Prieto in Palm Beach, Florida. Tiger Woods, Spike Lee and Patrick
Ewing, among other celebrities, reportedly attended the wedding ceremony.
The couple welcomed twin daughters, Victoria and Ysabel, in February
2014.

Q.24)           Snoring is a common condition that can affect anyone, although it

occurs more frequently in men and people who are overweight. Snoring has
a tendency to worsen with age.
          Snoring occurs when the flow of air through the mouth and nose is
physically obstructed. Air flow can be obstructed by a combination of
factors. Firstly, some people snore due to obstructed nasal airways. It
usually happens during allergy seasons, when they have sinus infection, or
when they have deformities of the nose structure. Secondly, some people
may have poor muscle tone in the throat and tongue due to deep sleep,
alcohol consumption, use of some sleeping pills, and even normal aging. As
a result, these too relaxed muscles can collapse and fall back into the
airway. Next, some people have bulky throat tissue. Bulky throat tissue can
be caused by being overweight or, in children, by large tonsils and
adenoids, the enlarged tissue between the back of the nose and
throat.                  Lastly, a long soft palate (the roof of the mouth) and a
long uvula (the dangling tissue in the back of       the mouth) can narrow the
opening from the nose to the throat. When these structures vibrate and
bump against one another the airway becomes obstructed.
           There are two types of snoring. Occasional snoring is usually not
very serious and is mostly a nuisance for your bed partner. However, if you
are a habitual snorer, you not only disrupt the sleep patterns of those close
to you, but you also impair your own sleep quality. Medical assistance is
often needed for habitual snorers to get a good night's sleep.
         Habitual snorers can be at risk for serious health problems, including
obstructive sleep apnea. Sleep apnea creates several problems including
interruptions of breathing, frequent waking from sleep. light sleeping, poor
night's sleep, and stain on the heart.

A.
  Paragraph 2 is about the process of snoring; paragraph 3 is
about disruptive snoring.
B.
  Paragraph 2 is about throat issues; paragraph 3 is about
dangerous snoring
C.
  Paragraph 2 is about causes of airflow obstruction; paragraph
3 is about snoring variety.
 D.
  Paragraph 2 is about the airflows of snoring; paragraph 3 is
about risk of snoring
E.
  Paragraph 2 is about the obstruction of airflows; paragraph 3
is about snoring habitual

Q.26) Hansel and Gretel were the children of a poor woodcutter. One day, the
children’s stepmother persuaded their father to take the children and
abandon them in the forest. The first time, Hansel left a trail of pebbles
along the way and found the way back. Next time, the father took them
 deeper into the forest, and Hansel left breadcrumbs to find their way back.
But when the children tried to find their way back home they found that the
birds had eaten the crumbs. So the children were lost in the woods.
They wandered in the forest and soon discovered a house made entirely of
gingerbread and sweets. Hungry and tired, the children began to eat the
rooftop of the house when the door opens. An old woman – the owner of
the house – kindly invited them inside. Not knowing that this old woman
was a witch who built a gingerbread house to lure children into her trap.
She imprisoned Hansel and made Gretel her slave. The old witch planned to
eat both children.
When the witch made preparations to bake Hansel, she told Gretel to start
the fire. Gretel lied that she couldn’t tell if the fire in the oven had started.
The witch shoved her aside and leaned into the oven to check. Gretel
pushed the witch into the oven and shut the door, then she took her brother

Q.28)           Last year I went to Jamaica with my boyfriend. It was my favourite

holiday. We went there by plane in October.
          The trip was very long and hard. The seat was very small and
uncomfortable.
We stayed in a hotel in Montego Bay. The hotel was very big and beautiful.
There were three swimming-pools, big gardens, a disco, a gym and five
restaurants. We met a lot of Spanish people at the hotel. It was very hot.
          We got up early in the morning because we went to an excursion. We
visited a lot of beaches. The beaches were very nice in Jamaica. We went to
a small safari. We saw birds, crocodiles.
          In the afternoon we went shopping. I bought t-shirts, pictures, towels,
coffee and figures. We went back in the evening and had dinner in the
hotel. The food was very good. There was pizza, meat, fish, fruit, typical
Jamaica´s food, ice-cream, etc. After that we went to the disco and went to
bed very late.

Q.29) On the wedding day of my brother-in-law, I was really glad because I had a
new friend as well as a sister-in-law. Many people came to congratulate the
new couple. There were many camera flashes, sweet music and flower
arches. Whenever I reminisce that day, the first thing in my mind is my
pink dress.
On that day, I was very proud to wear Korean traditional dress which
comprises of a jacket and a skirt. This dress was pink, and there were
flowers embroidered around the neck, on the sleeves and on the bottom of
the skirt. Every detail attached to the dress made it look glamorous and
elegant. The dress fit me so perfectly that everyone was stunned.
There were long ribbons which were attached to the jacket. Instead of
buttons, these ribbons were used to fasten the jacket. This dress felt smooth
but not soft. When I walked in the dress, there was a crispy sound from the
rubbing of the dress. It was like the sound when I walk on snow. The skirt
was so long that it trailed on the floor. I had to walk very slowly and
carefully. Otherwise, I would stepped on the skirt and fell down. It made
me very nervous.
When the wedding ceremony ended, I was so tired because I had to greet
the relatives and act as a guide. It was no wonder that the uncomfortable
dress added to my fatigue. On my wedding day, I did not realize how
uncomfortable it was for every member of my family to wear such a dress
during my wedding ceremony.

Q.30)           Working and going to school is challenging, it can be a rewarding

experience if you use some foresight. However, you’d better think a
hundred times before you decide to take a part time job. There are a lot of
things that should be considered to take a part time job.
           Working and still maintaining a good grade at school is not an easy
task. Having less time for schoolwork becomes the main negative effect.
Consequently, many students who work part time fail to perform at their
best both on schoolwork and on examinations. Moreover, a part- time job
can really interfere with the students’ free time. It also cuts into their studies
or social life.
          On the positive side, a part time job helps students to support day to
day living expenses. Working can be a valuable part of a student’s life.
Students can derive a great deal from working. In most cases, they can
acquire a nice dose of discipline and a whole new set of skills and
experiences. Another benefit of part time work is the opportunity to expand
the resume. Ideally, a student should try to find a job that is related in some
way to his or her selected field of study. But if not, a student can still gain
some work experience and develop his or her skills.
          Working takes a lot of time and energy, so students need to make
sure to be able to handle both employment and their current commitments.
Finally, if you are considering working part time, talk to your school
consullor to discuss this move. Explaining your goals to someone else can
help you make decisions and figure out your priorities.

From paragraph four, we can imply that …

A.
  students have to handle their studies and job when taking a
part time job
B.
 
students are forbidden to take the part time job
C.
 
part time job makes students be tired
D.
 
students should study first then take a part time job
  E.
students may take the job after completing their studies
Q.31) There is no need to go onto the street to see citizens of this country have
developed intolerance against those with opposing views. One can just go
onto Twitter and Facebook to see how the rising inability to accept
differences is reflected in one click: unfriend or unfollow.
Many at that time decided to unfriend and unfollow, block their ex-friends,
even break up with their boy or girlfriends for several reasons, such as
posting statuses that endorse unfavorable candidates, the use of harsh tones,
and the boredom of seeing the opinion of the growing number of amateur
”political experts” on social media. Some even attempted to rationalize the
unfriending decision by using mental health as rationale to justify their
action. However, while at some point the decision can be inability to
tolerate the opposing views.
This unfriend and unfollow phenomenon once again is rearing its head,
especially in the Jakarta governor election that has three candidates
competing for the capital’s top position. However, this intolerance should
not be assessed separately from Indonesian culture.  Collectivist culture
tends to bold to the principle “the friends of our friends are our friends” or
in this context, “ the supporters of our favorite candidate are our friends.”
Unfollowing itself can also be understood as the embodiment of Indonesia’s
high-context culture. While some Indonesians comfortably state their views
on other’s timelines in times of disagreement, the majority within the high-
context culture tend to keep their feelings to themselves and prefer codes or
indirect language to show disagreement. In this case, they do it secretly by
clicking on the unfollow button. To put this in the context of the Jakarta
election, the border between in-groups and out groups might be set up based
on faith or based on the candidate.theJakartans, or Indonesian citizens at
large, can contemplate and decide : Do we act like this because most of my
in-group members do the same? Is it rational to hate someone because their
views contradict ours? Is the election worth a broken relationship?
If we consider ourselves tolerant, we should also tolerate those with
different viewpoints. As long as they do not ignite hatred or violence, the
willingness to walk along with those who oppose our views will beneficial
in improving our intergroup and cross-cultural communication skills.

Which of the following statements best describe the cyber collectivist

culture?
A.
 
I do what my friends do
B.
 
Glorifying the group’s ideals is not an important factor
C.
 
Collectivism means sharing group’s burden
  D.
 Indirect language of disagreement is a must
E.
 
Unfriending/unfollowing friends is necessary

Q.33) Mobility is considered as the ability to move easily and it plays a big role in
our life. As the time goes by, technology makes it easier to move from one
place to another by using an online transportation.
            In the past few years, with the rising demand for fast transportation
in Jakarta, the use of online transportation is highly demanded. Simplicity
the application gives and the speed of the travel time are main highlights of
choosing an online transportation. Moreover, online transportation also
brings an enormous number of advantages that need to be discovered by
everyone.
            The first advantage is safety. Compared to the conventional
transportation, online transportation clearly excel the conventional
transportation because there is no such thing as Standard Operating
Procedure (SOP) in the conventional services. In the past few years, the
number of the traffic accident in Indonesia is increasing, one of the main
reason is that the rising of motorcycle users. But here, consumers can feel
safe while using the service of online transportation because the drivers
have undertaken a test of safety riding from their company.
            Safety riding is riding a motorcycle behaviour by giving priority to
the safety of themselves and other road users. Moreover, the vehicles they
use are expected to always be in a good condition because the company has
set standards for what vehicles that can be used by the driver to pick up
customers.  It is all because online transportation company wants to make
sure that they have the value - making their customers feel comfortable, so
we'll have no doubt when choosing what we should ride.
        This is clearly a huge advantage for customers because online
transportation always put safety first on their business so it is not necessary
to feel terrified.      

The underlined word in “ … that they have the value - making their

customers feel comfortable….” (Paragraph 4) is closest in meaning to ….
A.
 
mark
B.
 
cost
C.
 
charge
D.
 
measure
  E.
 Price

Q.34) Beggars have become a big problem for us today.  They come as a street
musicians, street boys, ’sick’ people, ’lost’ people, or just beggars. As their
number is getting bigger, the municipal government feels the need to set a
regulation to ban beggars. Many people support this.
They say that begging makes people lazy and bad survivors. They are like
parasites. Criminals take advantage of their existence. Car drivers are
strong-armed in crossroads, motorbike are seized, trucks are hijacked, etc.
A man in a rural area takes them to the city with his truck in the morning
and picks them up in the afternoon. They have made an agreement to share
what they get. Some children are reported to have been kidnaped not for
ransom. They are forced to be beggars.
Some people, however, say that we must help the beggars. They become the
beggars because they have no choice. What the get every day is only
enough for buying food. Being a beggar is better than being a thief or a
robber. So it is high time to apply their religious teaching to care for others.
In addition, what they do is to help the government to check crime-rates.
Despite the controversy of their existence, beggars continue to color the life
of urban people.    

From the text we can conclude that …

A.
  The existence of beggars in the cities isoften taken the
advantage by the criminals.
B.
  The numbers of beggars show the numbers of people live
under the poverty.
C.
  We must assist the municipal government to set the regulation
to ban the beggars
D.
  Becoming beggars is the last choice to survive from economic
problems.
E.
  Although the existence becomes controversy, beggars will
remain exist in the cities.
Q.35) The history of the Alhambra is linked with the geographical place where it
is located: Granada, Spain. On a rocky hill that is difficult to access, on the
banks of the river Darro, protected by mountains and surrounded by woods,
among the oldest quarters in the city, the Alhambra rises up like an
imposing castle with reddish tones in its ramparts that prevent the outside
world from seeing the delicate beauty they enclose.
Originally designed as a military area, the Alhambra became the residence
of royalty and of the court of Granada in the middle of the thirteenth
century, after the establishment of the Nasrid kingdom and the construction
of the first palace, by the founder king Mohammad ibn Yusuf ben Nasr,
better known as Alhamar.
Throughout the thirteenth, fourteenth and fifteenth centuries, the fortress
became a citadel with high ramparts and defensive towers, which house two
main areas: the military area, or Alcazaba, the barracks of the royal guard,
and the medina or court city, the location of the famous Nasrid Palaces and
the remains of the houses of noblemen and plebeians who lived there. The
Charles V Palace, (which was built after the city was taken by the Catholic
Monarchs in 1492) is also in the medina.
The complex of monuments also has an independent palace opposite the
Alhambra, surrounded by orchards and gardens, which was where the
Granadine kings relaxed: the Generalife.

A.
  The fortress houses two main areas: the military area and
medina.
B.
  There are the remains of the houses of noblemen and
plebeians living there.
