The following text is for question 16 to 19.

Beware The Environment around You
Be aware of your impact on the environment around you and the fact that you are connected with the environment around
you. Everything we do to environment around us, whether destructive or creative, will eventually be reflected in that
environment.
And especially be wary of contaminating the planet, destroying natural habitat or attempting to alter the natural cycles of
nature. The best way to avoid natural disasters is to learn to live in greater harmony with the nature environment, respecting
its natural cycles of "destruction" which are actually crucial to life on Earth
As one more quick example, consider large hydroelectric dams and the issue of flooding. Arrogant scientists and engineers
promised that such dams would end floods downstream, produce clean energy and lead to a healthier environment. They
were wrong: By stopping the floods, dams directly interfere with the normal life cycle of virtually all the animals that live
downstream. And by halting flooding, they deny the croplands on the banks of the rivers the nutritional replenishment they
need to grow healthful, mineral-rich crops.
Much the same is true with forest fires. Humans desperately and ignorantly attempt to extinguish such fires, thereby
preserving the forest floor "fuel" that one day ignites into a much stronger blaze that, instead of invigorating the forest, kills
it dead. Just look at the history of Yellowstone National Park. It was all the decades of extinguishing fires there that led to
the devastating, tree-killing fire of 1988
Human arrogance at work yet again, thinking that every time a fire or flood occurs, it's a "natural disaster" that must be
halted through human intervention.
The upshot is that many "natural disasters" are really only disasters from the point of view of people who don't respect
nature in the first place.

Read the text below to answer the question number 45 – 47.
Making agency at home is possible and recommend. Surely, home agency will have both advantage and disadvantage.
Therefore it is wise to consider the strengths and weaknesses to have a home agency.
Some people will agree that having agency at home will make benefit. It saves time. We need no commuting which
occasionally takes a long time. Besides we are free to set the work schedule. Having home agency will save money as we
need not to purchase or lease of agency space from rent companies. What make it more flexible is that we can set part or
all parts of our home just as a real agency. What we need is only a wireless router to cover all parts of our house with
Internet. We can run our business wherever part of house we want, from living room, bed room, veranda, etc even we can
make sell or purchase by online shopping for things we need. Furthermore Working at home might reduce stress, effort
and time and divert it to other more productive things because while working, we are close to our families.
However making home as agency also has some disadvantages. For some people, keeping the schedule is hard in flexible
time. Such people type will harder if they are working just from home. There will no clear border between working and
breaking. Working just from home also reduces the possibility to meet new people. It is true that computer and Internet
connection possibly relate people every time and everywhere but we will interact with them in a dimension which is not real
face.
So considering carefully what we actually need in running our business is very recommended before choosing to have
agency at home or not.

Read the text below to answer the question number 48 to 50.
Corruption has happened for many years and today it becomes a bad culture in Indonesia for three reasons.
Most adult Indonesian or foreigners have known and admitted that Corruptions happen in many places. The daily newspapers,
news programs on TV and radio have reported Corruptions are done everywhere, almost in all departments or public services
13 | O D B B A H A S A I N G G R I S
 of this country. Corruptions happen in health, education departments, and banks. When we manage to get some documents
in public service offices, we usually need much money to pay. Manipulations happen everywhere
The actions to eliminate Corruption are weak. The ever stronger culture seems not to come to an end when the responsible
institutions who have to reinforce the justice today commit Corruption. This is the worst. Corruptions happen in police
department, courts where judges, public prosecutors, lawyers make deals to do Corruption. All of us also heard in the end of
2004, Probosutejo reported that he had bribed the Supreme Court, or called Mahkamah Agung which becomes the highest
level where the justice can be obtained. Perhaps you have to try to come to the local courts and see what happen there. You
will see practices of bribery and other kinds of Corruption. Therefore, we can say that Corruptions become our culture. Do
you like it... .
The citizens have no goodwill to fight against the Corruption. They create the situations in which people have opportunities
to do Corruptions. The citizens like to break the rules because they are not disciplined. For example, in the street when they
drive a car or ride motorcycle, they do not have the driving license or necessary documents. Then, they are caught by the
local policemen. To avoid more difficulties, they like to bribe the officer. The officer let them go then. In other words, the
citizens and officers are the same, doing Corruption together. If only the people were critical, disciplined, and obey the rules,
and willing to report any wrong behaviors, this country will not be number one corrupting country in the world.
