English Preparation for the National Exam: Senior High School (SMA) Test 4
The following text is for questions 1 to 3.
Dear Sir, Recently, my 12-year-old daughter and I were walking down a street in Bali, looking for a little girl she had played with on a previous visit. We asked a passer-by if he knew where we might nd Lakshmi. I havent seen her today, he said. But she must be around somewhere. Thats her car. She pointed to a blue car parked nearby. Her car? But Lakshmis a kid, I said, but I wasnt really surprised. In many parts of Asia, children start driving scooters when they are hardly out of primary school, and cars as soon as they can reach the pedals. A recent survey in Bangladesh showed that hundreds of drivers of threewheeled taxis were under-age, some as young as ten. And on YouTube you can nd a video of a four-year-old girl driving a car on a busy road in China with boxes tied to her feet so she can reach the pedals. The last time I was in northern Thailand, I was driven to the airport by a small, nervous boy who needed directions from me all the way along the route. It was hair-raising. My question to your readers is: Do we really want infants driving cars in Asia? I dont think so, but maybe Im just being old-fashioned. Is it really too much to ask that ones taxi driver should be big enough to see over the dashboard? Id like to know what others think. Kind regards, Simon King
1. The main purpose of the letter is to A. explain why there are so many young drivers in Asia. B. describe a YouTube video made in China. C. describe an experience in Bali. D. warn readers about child drivers. E. ask for other opinions on child drivers.

The mouse deer stole the cucumbers

Long ago on Java Island lived a famous animal, the mouse deer. People said that the mouse deer was very clever. The mouse deers favourite food was the cucumber. He loved to eat juicy cucumbers, but the bad thing was he did not want to grow them himself. He liked to steal them from the farmers. Because of this the farmers disliked the mouse deer very much. One day a farmer made a plan to catch the mouse deer. He and his wife made a scarecrow a figure that was dressed in the farmers old clothes and looked like the farmer. The farmer put a lot of sticky glue on the scarecrows shirt. He put the scarecrow in the middle of the cucumber field. The farmer was sure he would catch the naughty mouse deer. Early the next morning, the mouse deer arrived at the farm. He was very surprised to see the farmer there in the cucumber field. He did not know that it was only a scarecrow. He hid behind the trees and waited for the farmer to go away before he could take all the cucumbers he wanted. He waited for a long time and finally grew impatient. He decided to get closer to the farmer. It was then that he realized it was not the farmer at all. It was just a scarecrow. The mouse deer was very angry and kicked the scarecrow. Remember, the farmer had put some glue on the scarecrows body, and that made it very sticky. When the mouse deer kicked the scarecrow, his foot stuck to the scarecrows body. The mouse deer was in a panic. He couldnt free himself. He cried for help. When the farmer heard the cry, he came quickly and caught the mouse deer. The mouse deer begged for mercy, but the farmer refused to set him free. So, that was how the farmer caught the mouse deer, which was famous for being clever!

20th February 2012 Dear Sir or Madam, I bought a pullover from your Durham store for my husband for Christmas. He had only worn the pullover twice when a hole appeared in the sleeve. I was rather shocked as the pullover was not cheap, and your store is known for good quality. I took the pullover back to the shop, but the manager refused to exchange it. She said the pullover had clearly been badly treated. This is nonsense as my husband had only used the pullover in the normal way. You will understand that I cannot accept your branch managers decision. Therefore, I am enclosing the pullover and the receipt showing price and date of purchase. Looking forward to a positive reply, I remain, Yours faithfully, Hetty Bucket (Mrs)

The history of Kuta Karnival
Kuta Karnival is related to the Bali bombing tragedy and is an annual event. The Bali bombings occurred on October 12th, 2002, in the tourist district of Kuta on the Indonesian island of Bali. It was the deadliest act of terrorism in the history of Indonesia. 240 people were injured and 202 killed, of whom 88 were Australians and 38 Indonesian citizens. The rest were other foreign nationals. A memorial statue to commemorate this event was unveiled on October 12, 2004, and provided an opportunity for mourners to lay fl owers and other offerings. The Australian ambassador and Indonesian of cials attended the ceremony. The people of Kuta hope to restore Balis image through an event named Kuta Karnival A Celebration of Life. It is a nine-day event consisting of traditional art performances such as Balinese Sunset Dances, sports on the beach and in the water for young and old, plus lots of stalls selling delicious food. With the return of tourism to Kuta, Kuta Karnival has grown into a promotional event with major coverage by television and newspapers from across the globe. Companies, embassies, non-government organisations, associations and individuals are involved in organising the various events. More than ninety thousand people participated in the numerous events last year. A repeated tragedy in Bali in 2005 did not reduce the Kuta communitys determination to carry out this annual event. Kuta Karnival is conducted to commemorate and pay respect to the victims of violence, and to show the world that the true spirit of the local community has survived in spite of the terrible terrorist attacks.

Memoirs of a successful actor

My parents didnt like the idea of my becoming an actor. Not that they had anything against actors, and they actually enjoyed going to the theatre. They just thought I should find a nice safe profession like teaching or architecture. But they didnt mind my acting in the school play, and it was on that stage that I was discovered by a famous agent, and thus became a successful child actor. My parents were not all that happy, but nobody could ever make me do anything I didnt want to. That sounds very egoistical, but that streak in my character has been valuable all my life. I never married, and now that I am an old man I wish I had married and had lots of children. There were a couple of actresses I might have married, but things didnt work out. So now in later years, I sometimes get a little bit lonely. But I am lucky to have my career. I would like to have known at 18 that I would still be making films at 80. As a young man I didnt think I would survive very long and decided to write my autobiography when I was only 25! I was never very good at finances. I earned a lot, but I enjoyed spending and never saved. Now I wish I had, but at least I can still work and make a living.

In 1984 Tabin, which is located in the eastern part of Sabah, Malaysia, on the island of Borneo, was declared a wildlife reserve because of the large number of animals inhabiting its forests, some of which are highly endangered, protected species. Alongside nine species of primates, three species of wild cats, the three largest mammals of Sabah, the Borneo pygmy elephant, the Sumatran rhinoceros and the tembadau can also be found in the forest. 220 bird species have been recorded. The active, mineral-rich, mud volcanoes of Tabin attract wildlife and present an ideal platform for bird-watching and wildlife observation. The Wildlife Department of Sabah is responsible for the care of the animals, and the Forest Department of Sabah is responsible for the trees. Since the Tabin Wildlife Resort began offering accommodation in the area in 2004, the Tabin Wildlife Reserve has become a popular place for eco-tourists to observe the rich bio-diversity of the area and take part in nature-based activities such as jungle trekking and night safaris. Getting there: the most popular way is to take a flight to Sandakan, visit the Sepilok Orang Utan Rehabilitation Centre and Selingan Turtle Island, then on to Sukau in Kinabatangan for at least one nights stay, then by road from Sukau to Tabin Wildlife Resort. 26. 27.

Urban legends or urban myths are strange stories which may or may not be true, but which many people want to believe really happened. They are passed on from person to person and place to place, and their origins can seldom be traced. They can be about any sort of topic, but crime and horror are favourites. Here is a typical example of an urban myth from the 1960s. The storyline has been used in horror films more than once since the story began to circulate.
The babysitter and the man upstairs
A married couple were going out for the evening and called in a teenaged babysitter to take care of their two children. The babysitter started doing her homework while waiting for a call from her boyfriend. After a while the phone rang, but when she answered it, there was only silence on the other end. She hung up, but the phone rang again. This time a mans voice said: Have you checked the children? There was a click and the phone went dead. The girl thought that it might have been the father calling and he had got cut off. The phone rang again; the mans voice repeated: Have you checked the children? Now she was frightened. She called the police and told them what had happened. Im scared, she said. I think there is someone out there watching me. The police told her that they would monitor her phone and try to find out where the call was coming from. She had turned off the lights when another call came. Why have you turned off the lights? the voice asked. Can you see me? the girl asked. Yes, he said after a long pause. What do you want? Blood, he said. She slammed down the phone, but it rang again. She grabbed the receiver and shouted Leave me alone. But it was the police. Weve traced the call, they said. Its coming from another room inside the house. Get out now!

Friday, November 28, 2012, 11:04 PM Readers Forum Letter: Lets learn Mandarin | Fri, 10/28/2012 9:00 AM
The Chinese economy is growing rapidly. It is estimated that it will overtake the US economy by 2016. Many international airports now have signs in Chinese. Many big-city shopping centres offer payment with Chinese debit cards. There is a high demand for Mandarin-speaking employees, and it is likely that Mandarin will become the second international language after English.
Currently, business relations between China and Indonesia are fl ourishing. With the ASEAN-China Free Trade Area (ACFTA) already in place, more capital, goods and services are expected to fl ow from the Waking Dragon to Indonesia, bringing more opportunities for job seekers.
Studying Mandarin is becoming more and more important, and there is a growing trend among young Indonesians to learn it. It is not an easy language to learn because of the thousands of different characters that need to be memorised. As a teacher of Mandarin, I try to make my classes as interesting as possible in the hope of attracting more students, as I rmly believe that students who can speak and write Chinese fl uently will have excellent professional opportunities. Yao Liang Jakarta
32. The writer thinks that young Indonesians should learn Mandarin Chinese because A. international travel will be easier. B. they will have better job opportunities. C. it is not a dicult language to learn. D. it will be more important than English. E. so many people speak it.

Media education
The average young person in the US views more than 3,000 ads per day on TV, the internet, posters and in magazines. Advertising is a billion-dollar industry, and as children and adolescents are attractive consumers, advertisers are targeting them at a younger and younger age. This may contribute to problems such as overweight, poor nutrition and cigarette and alcohol abuse, as well as a general sense of dissatisfaction among young people, who feel they cannot live up to the ideals of perfection shown in the advertisements. Research has shown that children younger than eight are defenceless against advertising. Several European countries have forbidden or restricted ads that are directed at children under 12, but there is an increasing number of easily accessible internet Web sites which try to persuade children and teenagers to make direct purchases. In fact, teenagers accounted for more than $1billion in e-commerce last year. With digital TV children can click an on-screen link and go to a Web site during a programme. Such interactive technology may allow advertisers to collect huge amounts of information about childrens viewing habits and preferences. Thus, media education is becoming increasingly important educating children and teenagers about the effects of advertising and teaching them to become critical viewers of the media in all its forms.

Tare Iluh and Beru Sibou lived happily with their parents in a village. Their happy life ended when their father died. Their mother had to work so very hard to keep the family that she soon died, too. Tare Iluh and Beru Sibou went to live with their uncle. Years passed and they grew into adults. Tare Iluh decided to leave his sister and uncle and go to live in another village. He hoped to make a lot of money in a short time and thought gambling was the answer. He gambled using the money his uncle had given him. At rst he won some money. He was so happy, he spent it all. Later he began to lose, and soon all his money was gone. He borrowed money from the villagers. He won and lost, and lost again. He kept on borrowing money until he had a lot of debts. When the villagers asked him to pay the debts, Tare Iluh could not pay. The villagers were angry and put him in prison! In the meantime, Beru Sibou was waiting and worrying, as she had had no news from her brother. When she nally heard that he was in prison, she decided to go and visit him. On the way to the village, she met an old man and asked about her brother. The old man knew that there was a man in prison because of gambling debts. He suggested Beru Sibou should climb a high tree and sing a song about her brother. Her brother might hear her song. Beru Sibou climbed a high tree and sang a song about her brother. She sang and shouted her brothers name. My brother Tare Iluh? Where are you? Villagers, please release my brother. Nobody listened to the song and Beru Sibou was sad and frustrated. She began to pray: Im willing to pay my brothers debts. I will pay with my tears, my hair, and all parts of my body can be used by the villagers. But please free my brother. Right after she nished praying, a heavy storm began. And slowly Beru Sibou changed into a tree. It was not just an ordinary tree. All parts of tree were useful. Her tears changed into sweet water. Her hair changed into strong leaves.
