Once

One day, the poor widow no longer had
enough food to satisfy herself and her children. In her need, therefore, she
went to her sister and said, “My children and I are suffering the greatest
hunger. You are my beloved sister and you are rich. Please, give me a mouthful
of bread.”
The very rich sister was too stingy to
give some food to her sister and said,” I myself have nothing in the house,”
and she drove away her sister with harsh words.
After some time, the husband of the rich
sister came home and was just going to cut himself a piece of bread. When he
made the first cut into the loaf, out flowed red blood.

children. But when he entered the widow’s room, he found her praying. She had
her two youngest children in her arms and the three eldest were lying dead. He
offered her food, but she refused it and answered, “We no longer have a desire

The
following text is for questions 39 to 42
The
Government should be more serious.
Sometimes
when I pass some certain places in Jakarta
Piles
of trash bring the bacteria with them. Isn’t that very dangerous to our health
if flies land on our food?
However,
many people live around this mountain- like heap of trash. Many children play nearby.
Also, a lot of women wash clothes and fruits and vegetables in the river which
is contaminated by trash. This is terrible. I think they don’t realize the
danger, because they don’t have knowledge about healthy living.
In my opinion, the government must make a
regulation that prohibits people to build houses near the trash disposal (dump
site). Also, there should be special officers, like police officers, who watch
and catch people who throw trash on the ground or into the rivers. Moreover, if
a big fine doesn’t make people stop dropping litter carelessly, the government
should put them in jail as punishment.
Finally,
I think the efforts to keep our environment clean and tidy need hard work from
both the citizens and government.

The
following text is for questions 43 to 46.
Small
children seem to learn very quickly ,while adults sometimes appear to lose the ability to pick up the new subject such
as language , music, games , or computer programs, in this essay, I will
discuss whether children or adults make
the best learner.
It
is undoubtedly true that children seem to learn very quickly. In just a few
years, they can learn how to play a musical instrument, speak one or even two
new languages, and deal with many subjects at school. They even have time for
sport and hobbies, and become experts in their favorites past time. However how
much of this is social pressure and how much is genetic? I am convinced that
while children’s brains have a natural ability to absorb new information as
part of their developmental growth much of their achievement is because of
social pressure. Schools force them to take many subjects. Parents force them
to practice new sports or to learn music. Even their playmates force them to
become better at computer games or to read Harry potter novels faster. In summary,
children may enjoy learning, but their environment also is a big motivating
factor.
Adults
on the other hand are supposed to be poor learners. However, I disagree with
people who say that adults cannot learn quickly. Adults have many skills that
compensate for the decline in the ability of the brain to grasp and remember
new material. They can organize their learning by setting times for reading or
practice. They can build on skills and experiences they know already. Adults
usually cannot learn to do ballet or to play the violin, but even despite these
physical challenges, their motivation can often be higher than a child’s.
Unfortunately, society doesn’t encourage many adults to learn. People are busy
with families and work, and some adults may feel that further learning is
pointless, since they have already achieved many goals at work or in their
personal life.
In
conclusion, I feel that we can’t generalize about children or adults being
better learners. It depends on the situation and motivation of the person, and
the level of enthusiasm he or she has for learning.
43. The text above
mainly discussed ….
A. The different opinion about the best
learners between children and adults.
B. The comparison of learning abilities
between children and adults.
C. The children‘s strength in the process
of learning.
D. The influences of learning to children
and adults.
E. The learning motivation of children and
adults.
44. What is the
main idea of paragraph 3?
A. Learning is not important for adult.
B. Adult doesn’t have motivation to learn.
C. Adults motivation is higher than
children.
D. Some people say that adults can’t learn
quickly.
E. Highly motivated, adults are good
managers of their learning.
45. Which of the
statements below describes children strength in learning?
A. Their brains are still developing so
they are flexible to take in new learning materials.
B. Children have parents who can guide
them in learning new things.
C. Their bodies are growing so they need
to learn new things.
D. Children are very active so they are
motivated to learn.
E. Children have passion for learning
things.
46… for the decline in the
ability of the brain to grasp and remember new material (paragraph 3)
The underlined word has the closest meaning to
....
A. know
B. advance
C. absorb
D. improve
