Dear Mom and Dad,

We have some exciting news for you. Fatimah is going to have a baby! We didn’t tell
you right away. At first the doctor said she might have some trouble with the baby. Now he says
she is just fine. She’s very healthy and nappy – and large! She still works on her painting every
day. But, she stopped teaching art classes. She gets tired more quickly now.
There is going to be another change in our lives. We’re moving back to Solo! We
wanted to be closer to you and to Jamilah. It’s much nicer to be near the family for something
important like a baby. Fatimah grew up in Surabaya, and she doesn’t have a family. So that

Surabaya her paintings are already popular. But I’m sure people will like them in Solo, too. My

friends. Take me with you.” The ducks answered,” We can’t. We are going to fly, and you have no wings.” The turtle
thought for a minutes and then said, “please wait here.” Then he went a way and found a strong, straight stick. He brought it
back to his fiends, put the middle of it in his mouth and said,” Now if each of you takes me ones end of the stick in his
mouth, you can lift me up and carry me with you.”
“There is one danger,’ said the ducks,” If you try to talk while we’re carrying you through the air, you won’t be
able to hold the stick, so you we’ll fall dawn along way and break your shell”
“All right,” answered the turtle,” I promise not to talk while we’re in the air. So the ducks took the stick and flew
away, with the turtle between them. All went well until they were flying over a town. Then some people saw them and

 Nowadays, the police have been applying the new regulation concerning the use of seat belts. In European
countries, this regulation has been applied for a long time. However, this new regulation has become controversial and is an
interesting topic to discuss. Here are some of the arguments.
The use of seat belts has been proven to reduce the risk of injury or death in accidents. Seat belts have become
standard components in cars.
The research shows that most car accidents will cause any an injury to the head. Frequently, drivers or passengers
driving without seat belts die because of this. By wearing seat belts, the injury will not happen since the seat belts restrain
our body on the car seat when an accident happens.
Unfortunately, many cars, especially, the old ones, don’t have seat belts. This is because the traffic conditions in the
past were unlike the recent traffic condition. The designers of old cars didn’t consider a seat belt as important part. Besides,
the drivers wearing the seat belt will think that they are completely safe, so they may drive carelessly. They are safe, indeed,
but how about the safety of others?
The seat belt is the only one of the ways to reduce the risks of car accidents. It doesn’t mean that we are completely
safe. In short, our safety depends on ourselves.

40. The text mainly focuses on ….

a. how to wear seat belts
b. the danger of seat belts
c. traffic condition cause accident
d. the benefit of seat belts
e. Seat belts cause many people injured

a. Many old cars are completed by seat belt for serving
b. The regulation of wearing seat belt is applied recently in Europe
c. Drivers wearing seat belts often drive carelessly
d. The seat belts cannot be used to prevent the risk of car accident
e. Safety in driving car depends on seat belts
42. The main idea of the last paragraph is….
a. Our safety in driving car depends on seat belts
b. We are completely safe by wearing seat belts
c. Car accidents cause people wearing seat belts
d. We are incomplete safe although wearing seat belts
e. We can reduce the risk of car accidents by wearing seat belts.
43. “… since the seat belts restrain our body on the car seat when an accident happens.”
The underlined word can be replaced by ….
a. takes apart
b. takes place
c. takes out
d. takes care
e. takes off

This text is for question 44 to 47

Chimpanzees use a system of different sounds to communicate with each other. One type of cry seems to mean
something like danger in the air or big birds and another apparently means danger on the ground or snakes. The first cry
causes them to hide in holes or under trees and look up the sky. When they hear the second cry, they hide in the upper
branches of trees nervously at the grass.
Chimpanzees are capable of learning sign language. One chimp called Washoe learned to make about 160 separate
signs meaning things like “give me a rink” and “banana”. Washoe even learned to swear. She had a teacher called Jack who
once refused to give her a drink. Washoe got angry and used several signs which meant “dirty Jack”.
A group of chimps at a research institute in Atlanta, Georgia, has recently been taught to type sentences using a computer.
