This following text is for questions 20 to 21

Most societies today expect that women will play their major role by caring for a home and family. The differences between men and women in a society are taught very early in childhood, and boys and girls grow up to be what men and women in that society are expected to be.

But the present economic system forces women and girls to try to find jobs outside the home. They try to earn their living to support the family. In rural areas, agriculture is so important that usually men and boys in a family help by planting and taking care of crops, or by preparing food. And so do women and girls.

In urban areas, most production comes from manufacturing, such as making clothing, assembling electronic devices, packaging drugs, packaging cigarettes, etc. Most workers in a shoe industry, chemical industry, textile industry are women workers.

More and more woman workers are trying to find jobs in foreign countries. They are usually sent by non-governmental organizations. They work in Saudi Arabia and Malaysia. They work as housekeepers, housemaids, cooks, babysitters and nurses. Before being sent abroad they are trained in Jakarta for several weeks.

A.    work in industry

This following text is for questions 22  to 25

Should Americans be Forced to Use Public Transportation?

First, let me define what the question is and isn’t asking. It isn’t asking if we should we all abandon cars right now, nor is it asking if we should abandon them completely, nor is it asking if every American should do so. It is asking whether some Americans should have to take public transit some of the time, and I would say yes.

Oil use and pollution aside, in some cities like Los Angeles and New York there just isn’t room for any more roads, so in order for large cities to grow, they need more people to take public transit or risk permanent traffic jam. One bus can safely hold 40 people, so even at half capacity that’s nearly 20 cars’ worth of space in traffic cleared up, and nearly 20 parking spaces that don’t need to be built.

There are a lot of people that can take public transit with little inconvenience but simply don’t because they never have in the past. If residents in areas with plenty of transit had to buy transit passes as part of their property taxes then they would have little excuse not to bus occasionally. A number of universities already bundle a ‘U-Pass’ with their tuition fees, forcing their students to take the bus. When given the chance the majority of those students have voted to keep these programs.

A similar system in apartments where a portion of the tenants are not issued parking spaces in exchange for a discount on their rent would also be forcing people to use public transit. This is already being done with the assignment of one community car to several apartment tenants that arrange a schedule for the car, and this program gets many positive reviews.

So yes, I would say that Americans should be forced to use public transit, as Americans whom are already forced to do so find that it works well for them.

C.   Stop automobiles productions.

D.   Fine people who do not use public transportations.

E.    Limit the number of gasoline.

24. What is the purpose of the article?

A.    Defining the functions of public transportations.

B.    Arguing that American should not use public transportations.

C.   Suggesting American the ways to use public transportation.

This following text is for questions 26  to 27

Recycling is a collection, processing, and reuse of materials that would otherwise be thrown away. Materials ranging from precious metals to broken glass, from old newspapers to plastic spoons, can be recycled. The recycling process reclaims the original material and uses it in new products.

In general, using recycled materials to make new products costs less and requires less energy than using new materials. Recycling can also reduce pollution, either by reducing the demand for high-pollution alternatives or by minimizing the amount of pollution produced during the manufacturing process.

Paper products that can be recycled include cardboard containers, wrapping paper, and office paper. The most commonly recycled paper product is newsprint. In newspaper recycling, old newspapers are collected and searched for contaminants such as plastic bags and aluminum foil. The paper goes to a processing plant where it is mixed with hot water and turned into pulp in a machine that works much like a big kitchen blender. The pulp is screened and filtered to remove smaller contaminants. The pulp then goes to a large vat where the ink separates from the paper fibers and fl oats to the surface. The ink is skimmed off, dried and reused as ink or burned as boiler fuel. The cleaned pulp is mixed with new wood fibers to be made into paper again.

Experts estimate the average office worker generates about 5 kg of wastepaper per month. Every ton of paper that is recycled saves about 1.4 cu m (about 50 cu ft) of landfill space. One ton of recycled paper saves 17 pulpwood trees (trees used to produce paper).

26. The following things can be recycled, EXCEPT....

A.      precious metals

B.      broken glass

C.     old newspapers

D.     plastic spoons

E.      fresh vegetables and fruits

27. Which of the following is NOT the benefit of recycling?

A.      It costs much money for the process of recycling

B.      It costs less to make new products.

C.     It requires less energy.

D.     It can reduce pollution.

E.      It reduces the demand for high-pollution alternatives.

This following text is for questions 44 to 45

The problem of over population in Indonesia is made worse by the fact that fifty per cent of all Indonesians are below the age of eighteen years. Most of them are dependents. They do not earn money to support themselves and are in need of many facilities like food, medical care, clothing, education and employment opportunities. Although a large number of them are forced to drop out of school to earn a living, the government still has to spend a very large part of its revenue on education. Then comes the problem of creating enough jobs for every new generation of school leavers or college graduates. Although the problem of overcrowded cities is difficult to solve, there is a solution to the problem of people living in overcrowded areas of the countryside. The solution is internal migration. This means moving poor people from the countryside to different but underdeveloped parts of Indonesia, where they may work to build a new life themselves. In Indonesia, there are large and active resettlement programmes of this sort which have given a new life to thousands of people.

44. What is mainly discussed in the text?

A.    Population problem.

B.    Migration in Indonesia.
