Balinese dances included on the list were the Barong Ket, Joged Bumbung, Legong
Keraton, Topeng Sidhakarya, Baris Upacara, Sanghyang Dedari and Rejang dances, as
well as the Wayang Wong and Gambuh dance dramas.

dramas are part of the Bebali dance, known as a semi-sacred and ceremonial dancE.

the Balih-Balihan dance that serves social and entertainment purposes.

Bebali dance and Balih-Balihan dances are believed to have come from the 14th-19th
century and 19th centuries, respectively.

(Reuters Health) – Half of all heart patients made at least one medication-related
mistake after leaving the hospital, and guidance from a pharmacist didn’t seem to
reduce those errors, in a new study.
Consequences of mistakes – such as forgetting to take certain drugs or taking the
wrong dose – can range from side effects like constipation to more serious drops in
blood pressure. Two percent of errors were life-threatening(14).
Hospitals involved in the study were already taking steps to prevent medication
mistakes in addition to the extra pharmacist intervention, said Dr. Sunil Kripalani,
the study’s lead author from the Vanderbilt University Medical Center in Nashville,
Tennessee.
“We were surprised to see that in spite of these efforts that 50 percent (of patients)
were still having these medication errors,” he told Reuters Health.
Although the pharmacist visits didn’t help the average patient, he added, certain
ones seemed to benefit – such as patients who were on multiple drugs or had
trouble understanding health information.
As for traditionally lower-risk patients, he said other strategies to prevent errors
may be needed

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(16).
According to Dr Elaine Eaker,(17) 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.

17. 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

18. “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

19. The purpose of the text is ....


A. To describe what a house husband is

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

Reason:
The text is "Explanation text" which aims to explain how and why a process can occur.
So, the right answer is To explain to readers why house husbands are subjects to heart
attack.
20. 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

Reason:
In the sentence "... that some people become stressed about performing a role not
traditionally assigned to them by society" and and the sentence "Most men are not used
to perform a variety of activities simultaneously." Domestic work is stressed because
they are not accustomed to carrying out tasks that do not match their role in society.
The right choice They are not used to doing house keeping.
