Once, a cap seller was passing through a jungle. He was dead tired and needed
to rest. Then, he stopped and spread a cloth under a tree. He placed his bag full of
caps near him and lay down with his cap on his head.
The cap seller had a sound sleep for one hour. When he got up, the first thing
he did was to look into his bag. He was startled when he found all his caps were not
there. He was wondering where they could have gone. Indeed, he was greatly
puzzled.
When he looked up the sky, he was very surprised to see monkeys sitting on
the branches of a tree, each wearing a cap on his head. They had evidently done it
to imitate him.
He decided to get his caps back by making a humble request to the monkeys.
In return, the monkeys only made faces of him. When he began to make gestures,
even when he raised his fist towards them to threaten them, they also imitated him.
At last he hit upon a clever idea. “Monkeys are a great imitator,” he thought.
So he took off his own cap and threw it down on the ground. As he had expected, all
the monkeys took off the caps and threw them down on the ground. Quickly he
stood up and collected the caps, put them back into his bag and went away.

I, Milton Friedman, was born on July 31, 1912, in Brooklyn, N.Y., the
fourth and last child and first son of Sarah Ethel (Landau) and Jeno Saul
Friedman. My parents were born in Carpatho-Ruthenia of the Soviet
Union. They emigrated to the U.S. in their teens, meeting in New York.
When I was a year old, my parents moved to Railway, N.J., a small town
about 20 miles from New York City.
I was awarded a competitive scholarship to Rutgers University. I
graduated from Rutgers in 1932. I financed the rest of my college
expenses by the usual mixture of waiting at tables, clerking in a retail
store, occasional entrepreneurial ventures, and summer earnings.
Shortly, however, I became interested in economics.

Soal no. 25 Soal no. 27Soal no. 26
In economics, I had the good fortune to be exposed to two
remarkable men: Arthur F. Burn and Homer Jones. Arthur Burns shaped
my understanding of economic research, introduced me to the highest
scientific standards, and became a guiding influence on my subsequent
career. Homer Jones introduced me to rigorous economic theory, made
economics exciting and relevant, and encouraged me to go on to
graduate work. On his recommendation, the Chicago Economics
Department offered me a tuition scholarship. As it happened, I was also
offered a scholarship by Brown University in Applied Mathematics, but,
by that time, I had definitely transferred my primary allegiance to
economics. In 1976 I won the Nobel Memorial Prize in Economics for my
achievements in the fields of consumption analysis, monetary history and
theory and for my demonstration of the complexity of stabilization policy.
In 1977, at age 65,1 retired from the University of Chicago after teaching
there for 30 years.

Alfred Bernhard Nobel was a Swedish chemist, engineer, innovator,
and ornament manufacturer. He was the inventor of dynamite. He also
owned Bofors, which he had redirected from its previous role as primarily
an iron and steel producer to a major manufacturer of cannons and other
ornaments. He held 355 different patents, dynamite being the most
famous. In his last will, he used his enormous fortune to institute the
Nobel Prizes. The synthetic element nobelium was named after him. He
was the third son of Immanuel Nobel and Andriette Ahlsell Nobel. Born in
Stockholm on 21 October 1833, he went with my family to Saint
Petersburg in 1842, where his father invented modern plywood. He
studied chemistry with Professor Nikolay Nicolaevich Zinin. When he was
18, he went to the United States to study chemistry for four years and
worked for a short period under John Ericsson, who designed the
American Civil War ironclad USS Monitor.

Returning to Sweden with his father after the bankruptcy of his family
business, he then devoted himself to the study of explosives, and
especially to the save manufacture and use of nitroglycerine (discovered in
1847 by Ascanio Sobrero, one of his fellow students under Theophile-Jules
Pelouze at the University o Turin). A big explosion occurred on 2
September 1864 at his factory in Heleneborg in Stockholm, killing five
people. Among them was his younger brother, Emil.
The foundations of the Nobel Prize were laid in 1895 when alfred
Nobel wrote his last will, leaving much of his wealth for its establishment.
Since 1901, the prize has honored men and women for outstanding
achievements in physics, chemistry, medicine, literature and for work in

Remote sensing is the acquisition of information about an object or
phenomenon, without making physical contact with the object. In modern
usage, the term generally refers to the use of aerial sensor technology to detect
and classify objects on Earth (both on the surface, and in the atmosphere and
oceans) by means of propagated signals (e.g. electromagnetic radiation emitted
from aircraft or satellites).
There are two main types of remote sensing: passive remote sensing and
active remote sensing. Passive sensors detect natural radiation that is emitted or
reflected by the object or surrounding area being observed. Reflected sunlight is
the most common source of radiation measured by passive censors. Examples of
passive remote sensors include film photography, infra-red, charge-coupled
devices, and radiometers. Active collection, on the other hand, emits energy in
order to scan objects and areas whereupon a sensor then detects and measures
the radiation that is reflected or backscattered from the target. RADAR and
LIDAR are examples of active remote sensing where the time delay between
emission and return is measured, stabilizing the location, height, speed and
direction of an object.

From the text we know that remote sensing ....
A. is a way to obtain information about an object or phenomenon.
B. does not difficult to do.
C. makes physical contact with the object.
D. does not make use of censors.
E. does not make use propagated signals.

Every single rock on the surface of the Earth – whether it is
gravestone, a piece of solidified lava from a volcano or a boulder that has
broken from a cliff or mountain – is slowly being broken down. This
breaking down of rocks at or near the Earth’s surface is called weathering.
The word is used because the weather is mainly responsible. Weathering
turns solid rock into soft materials that may eventually form soil.
Air and water are the cause of most weathering. Sometimes they
change the chemical in the rocks, and sometimes they just break apart the
rock physically. If water seeps into the cracks in the rocks, for example, it
may later freeze if the temperature falls below 0 degrees Celsius. As the
water turns to ice, it expands, pushing against the sides of the rock with a
pressure believe to be as much as 2,100 kilograms per square centimetre.
This forces the cracks open. Repeated freezing and thawing causes the
fragments to break away from the original rock, this may slide down a cliff
or mountain and form a sloping mass of fragments at the bottom, called
scree.

According to the text, ….
A. there are two kinds of rock, gravestone and a boulder
B. soft material will turn to solidified lava through weathering
C. chemical in the rocks causes weathering in every single rock
D. a cliff or mountain may slide down because of the water in the rock
E. cracks in the rocks will turn water into ice at the temperature below 0 degrees
Celsius
Pembahasan:
Dengan men-scan informasi yang ada pada teks, maka diketahui bahwa jawaban
yang paling tepat adalah opsi A, yaitu terdapat dua jenis batu, yaitu gravestone dan
boulder. Opsi B salah dikarenakan informasi yang terdapat pada teks menjelaskan
bahwa cuaca dapat mengubah material keras (batu) manjadi lunak (pasir). Opsi c
juga tidak tepat karena proses weathering terjadi karena cuaca. Opsi D juga tidak
tepat karena penyebab utama longsor bukanlah air di dalam celah batu, melainkan
proses weathering yang terus berlangsung. Opsi E juga salah karena yang
menyebabkan air membeku bukanlah celah batu, melainkan caca.

What is the main idea of the second paragraph?
A. Active sensing is better than passive sensing.
B. The energy in sunlight is important for remote sensing.

A natural disaster is a terrible accident, e.g. a great flood, a big fire or an
earthquake. It usually causes great suffering and loss of a large sum of money.
The causalities are injured or died. Some people are homeless and need
medical care.
Floods occur when the water of rivers, lakes, or streams overflow their
banks and pour out into the surrounding land. Floods are caused by many
different things. Often heavy rainstorms that last for a brief time can cause a
flood. But not all heavy storms are followed by flooding. If the surrounding land
is flat and can absorb the water, no flooding will occur. If, however, the land is
hard and rocky, heavy rain cannot be absorbed. Where the banks are low river
may overflow and flood adjacent lowland.
In many parts of the world floods are caused by tropical storms called
hurricanes or typhoons. They bring destructive winds of high speed, torrents of
rain, and flooding. When a flood occurs, the destruction to the surrounding land
can be severe. Whole villages and towns are sometimes swept away by water
pouring swiftly over the land. Railroad tracks and buckles are uprooted from
their beds. Highways are washed away.
Next

When a building caught fire, the firemen pitched in to help battle the blaze.
Before the pumps were invented, people formed bucket brigades to fight fires.
Standing side by side, they formed a human chain from the fire to nearby well
or river. They passed buckets of water from hand to hand to be poured on the
flames.
The damage of fire did depend a great deal on where it happened. In the
country or a small village, only a single house might burn down. But in crowded
cities, fire often destroyed whole blocks and neighborhoods before being
controlled.

According to health scientists, when a person is under stress, his body will
release a hormone that will prevent his immune system from destroying bacteria
and viruses.
Garvan Institute scientists in Sydney discovered that a hormone called
“neuropeptide Y” (NPY), which prevents the immune system from destroying
bacteria and viruses, is produced when a person is under stress. It has proven that
people are more likely to get sick when they are too busy or worried.
This is hoe NPY works: when a person is under stress, his nerve will release a
lot of NPY into the bloodstream; this eventually prevents the immune system from
destroying bacteria and viruses. On the other hands, when the body is relaxed and
calm, the immune cells will act as protection cells to search and destroy bacteria as
well as viruses and thereby increase resistance.
Hopefully, one day this scientific discovery will lead to finding cures for some
illness that are linked to cold, flu and even cancer and stroke.
In the meantime, according to health scientists, the best thing to do to
strengthen the immune system is to relax, stay calm, recognize one’s lifestyle and
take up “Yoga” or “Tai Chi”.

What is NPY?
A. A nerve system.
B. An immune system.
C. A virus.
D. A bacteria.
E. A hormone.

Being on time is a beautiful social ethic and one of great importance, as it creates
efficiency in systems and implies respect for one another. However, it is one the many
values that is not easy for our students to learn.
Inner discipline, one that comes from an understanding of the set rules and
regulations, is the highest form of behaviour. Most excellent schools try to instill this
with a loving environment. Why, even adults arrive late to meetings, work, etc. Here,
we do not agree that late comers should be shut out. They can be given warnings,
most of which are enough to make them try their best to reach the school on time
later. If this fails, invite their parents to school.
By closing the gates, the school is behaving cruelly, to which we prefer not to
expose our children. Every school has a responsibility to implant good educational
principle, but it should be in appropriate ways. Good schools create competitive
students who can organize themselves effectively in society, so that everyone gets a
quality life as a result of ethics and values learned for as long as 12 years.
Children are precious and dependent on the adults for guidance. Understanding
them is the key, and to this end, both parents and schools must work hand in hand
without playing the blame game.

What should the school do if a student can’t stop his/her habit to come
late to school?
Baca Teks
A. Punish him/her.
B. Shut him/her out.
C. Fail him/her.
D. Talk to his/her parents.
E. Try to understand him/her.

Nowadays, many people have realized that agriculture is much more important
than other supporting tools in economic development. In Indonesia, agriculture
should be the priority of development because of some good reasons.
First of all, the agriculture’s contribution in the beginning of the country was
the highest of all sectors. At present, almost half of the total Indonesian labors are
working in the agriculture sector, but the contribution of the agriculture sector does
not reach 30 percent.
Second, the agriculture sector is expected to fulfill the need of food in the
country. As the number of population increases in an alarming rate each year, food
supply must also increase but the agricultural production per capita never
increases more than one percent each year, and in some extreme cases, it is even
stagnant.
Last but not least, without agricultural development, the growth of the
industrial sector will be hampered because the growth that comes from industry will
bring a wider gap into the internal economy in that country. In turn, this gap will
create serious poverty problems, wider inequality of income distribution, and
increase unemployment.
It is therefore, obvious that the government should put agriculture as the
priority of national development.

What is the percentage of the contribution of the agriculture sector to the
Indonesian economic development?
A. Less than ten percent.
B. About twenty percent.
C. About thirty percent.
D. Below thirty percent.
E. Above thirty percent.
