Answer Questions 35 to 38 based to the
following text.
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.
According to Dr Elaine Eaker, 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 Menchester, 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 be-
come 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.
35. 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
36. “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
37. The purpose of the text is ....
A. To describe what a house husband is
B. To persuade readers not to become a
house husband
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
38. 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

The following text is for Questions 39 to 42.
The Houses of the Toraja
The ethnic
groups in the
mountain regions
of southwest and
central Sulawesi
(Celebes) are
known by the
name of Toraja,
which has come to
mean “Those who
live upstream” or
“Those who live in the mountains”. Their
name is in fact derived from the word Raja,
which in Sanskrit means “King”. The society
is hierarchically structured (the noblemen are
called rengnge, the ordinary people to makaka,
and the slaves to kaunan) birth determines which
rank a person will occupy.
The distinctive features of the traditional
houses (tongkonan) of the Toraja are the “Buffalo
horns”, the roof design and the rich decoration
on the walls. The buffalo is a symbol of status,
courage, strength, and fighting spirit.
Designed as a representation of the
universe, the tongkonan is constructed in three
parts: the upper world (the roof), the world of
humans (the middle of the building), and the
underworld (the space under the floor). The
highly distinctive roofs constructed by the
Toraja have given rise to various ingenious
interpretations. Certainly the roof is something of
deep significance for the Toraja, and even today
they build “Modern” (in other words houses built
with cement) houses with such roofs.
39. What is the text about?
A. The culture of Toraja
B. The society of Toraja
C. The distinctive features of traditional
houses
D. The description of a traditional house of
Toraja
E. The ethnic groups of southwest and

The following text is for Question 43 to 46.
Antibiotic is a drug produced by certain
microbes. Antibiotics destroy other microbes that
damage human tissues. They are used to treat a
wide variety of diseases, including gonorrhea,
tonsillitis, and tuberculosis. Antibiotics are
sometimes called “Wonder drugs” because
they can cure diseases such as meningitis,
pneumonia, and scarlet fever. But, when the
antibiotics are overused or misused, these drugs
make a person sensitive being attacked by a
superbug.
Antibiotics do not always distinguish
between harmless and dangerous microbes.
If a drug destroys too many harmless
microorganism, the pathogenic ones (the
dangerous microbes) will have a greater
chance to multiply. This situation often leads
to the development of a new infection called
suprainfection.
Extensive use of some antibiotics may
damage organs and tissues. For example,
streptomycin, which is used to treat tuberculosis,
has caused kidney damage and deafness.
Resistance to antibiotics may be ecquired
by pathogenic microbes. The resistant microbes
transfer genetic material to non-resistant microbes
and cause them to become resistant. During
antibiotic treatment, non-resistant microbes are
destroyed, but resistant types survive and multiply.
To avoid the side effect of antibiotics,
you’d better not urge your doctor to prescribe
antibiotics. Keep in mind that antibiotics are only
useful for bacterial infections and have no effect
on viruses, so they cannot be used for chicken
pox, measles, and other viral diseases.
43. Which diseases cannot be cured by
antibiotics?
A. Tonsillitis D. Tuberculosis
B. Meningitis E. Scarlet fever
C. Chicken pox
44. What are discussed in paragraph two and
four?
A. Both paragraphs describe how antibiotics
work
B. Both paragraphs tell about the effects of
misusing antibiotics
C. Both paragraphs explain how antibiotics
damage organs and tissues
D. Paragraph two tells what causes
the pathogenic microbes multiply and
paragraph four tells how the un-resistant
microbes become resistant
E. Paragraph two tells how antibiotics destroy
harmless microbes and paragraph four
describes how the pathogenic microbes
transfer genetic material to non-resistant
microbes
45. Choose one from the following which is not
the effect of using antibiotics improperly?
A. Organs and tissues are damaged
B. The pathogenic microbes multiply
C. Harmless microorganisms are destroyed
D. Pathogenic microbes become non-
resistant
E. New infection which is called suprainfention
develops
46. “Antibiotics do not always distinguish between
harmless and dangerous microbes.”(paragraph
2)
The underlined word means ....
A. vary D. contradict
B. compare E. differentiate
C. correlate
This text is for Question 47 to 50.
Should performance enhancing drugs be
accepted in sports?
The issue of using drugs to enhance
athlete’s performance is controversial. Those
who agree to the use of drugs in enhancing
performance say that most top players in all sports
take drugs to train harder and feel no pain during
play. The trainers, sports doctors, nutritionists,
physiotherapists, and managers of the big names
make sure banned substances are taken at the
safest and most efficient levels. The main effect of
banning such substances has turned performers
and their coaches into liars and cheaters.
On the other hand, some still believe that
performance enhancing drugs in sport should be
banned. Performance enhancing drugs are not
only prohibited because they violate the spirit of
sport but because they can damage the health
of athletes.
I think the idea of allowing them in sports
could lead to a situation whereby sportsmen and
women are used as human guinea pigs for a
constant flow of new, unregulated substances.
47. What argument is given by those who disagree
with the use of performance enhancing drugs?
A. Athletes health is badly affected
B. Guinea pigs are awfully needed
C. Athletes consume more drugs
D. Athletes obey the rules
48. According to the proponents of performance
enhancing drugs, the effect of banning them
is that performers become ....
A. losers D. hooligans
B. winners E. supporters
C. cheaters
49. What is the writer’s intention to write the
text?
A. To persuade readers to agree with the
issue
B. To influence readers to oppose the issue
C. To describe performance enhancing frugs
D. To entertain readers with the issue
E. To expose readers with the issue
50. How does the writer feel about the performance
enhancing drugs?
A. Neutral D. Indefinite
B. Positive E. Pessimistic
C. Negative
