This passage for number 5-7

The shaming of “Batman vs Superman: Dawn of Justice” will continue apace —  or better still, be
forgotten entirely — in the wake of “Captain America: Civil War,” a decisively superior hero-vs.-hero
extravaganza that also ranks as the most mature and substantive picture to have yet emerged from the
Marvel Cinematic Universe. Very much an “Avengers” movie in scope and ambition if not title (the
conspicuous absence of Thor and Hulk notwithstanding), this chronicle of an epic clash between two
equally noble factions, led by Captain America and Iron Man, proves as remarkable for its dramatic
coherence and thematic unity as for its dizzyingly inventive action sequences; viewers who have grown
weary of seeing cities blow up ad nauseam will scarcely believe their luck at the relative restraint and
ingenuity on display. Buoyed by hearty critical support, 3D ticket premiums and enormous fan-ticipation,
Disney’s May 6 release should have little trouble outperforming 2014’s “Captain America: The Winter
Soldier” ($714 million worldwide) and could land in roughly the same commercial arena  as the
“Avengers” pictures, both of which earned north of $1 billion globally.

a. Marvel will support this movie with the high ultra definition image as their previous movie
“Captain America: The Winter Soldier”
b. There is a difference in making the movie and casting the actors
c. The productions team believe this movie will a hundred percent better than “Batman vs
Superman: Dawn of Justice”
d. Marvel facilitates the audiences with 3d ticket premiums for the unforgettable experience
e. This movie costs almost a billion include the CGI effect and 3D performances
7. The word restraint in the text above has the similar meaning with…

This passage for number 8-9

I absolutely love the Harry Potter series, and all of the books will always hold a special place in my
heart. I have to say that of all the books, however, this one was not my favorite.
When the series began it was as much of a “feel good” experience as a huge mug of hot cocoa.
The stories were bright, fast-paced, intriguing, and ultimately satisfying.
Order of the Phoenix is a different kind of book. In some instances this works you feel a whole new
level of intensity and excitement by the time you get to the end. I was truly moved by the last page.
Other times the book just has a slightly dreary, depressing feel. The galloping pace of the other books
has slowed to a trot here, and parts of it do seem long, as if we’re reading all about Harry “just hanging
out” instead of having his usual adventures. Reading in detail about Harry cleaning up an old house, for
example – housekeeping is still housekeeping, magical or no, and I’m not very interested in doing it or
reading about other people doing it.
A few other changes in this book – the “real” world comes much more in to play rather than the
fantasy universe of the previous books, and Harry has apparently been taken off his meds. I know that
he had a lot to be grumpy in this book, especially with being a teenager and all, but the sudden change
in his character seemed too drastic. He goes from being a warm-hearted, considerate person to
someone who will bite his best friend’s heads off over nothing. It just seemed like it didn’t fit with his
character, like he turned into a walking cliché of the “angry teen” overnight. The “real” story seemed to
happen in the last 1/3 of the book, and this part I loved. I actually liked the ending (and yes, I cried!) as
sad as it was. It packed a punch and it made me care about the story even more. Still a really good book,
with some editing it would have been great.
8. Why the author called this series of novel has a slightly dreary feeling?
a. This series gives her/him sorrow feeling toward the main character
b. The last page give a different feeling with a heart-touching ending
c. The changing of the main character and the story plot which too flat
d. It gives a dramatic effect due to the conflict among the main characters
e. There are too many conflicts happen in one time of series
9. What is the conclusion can be taken from the text above?
a. The author doesn’t suggest the readers to read all the series of Harry Potter novels
b. Harry Potter’s novels are the best novel to represent the imagination of the author
c. The main point of the story has given the difference feeling to all the readers
d. The author believes that this series need some improvements on some parts
e. The proportion between real world and magical world doesn’t balance overall

Student loan may not be a new issue for other countries, but it is considered to be an intriguing
topic for the people in Indonesia. It is one of Indonesian government plans that attract attention of
many people from various backgrounds.
Most students decided to stop their education in Senior High School level because they do not have
money to pay for tuition in college. Student loan provides a better chance for them to pursue higher
education. Because they can borrow the cost for their college from the government or other student
loan provider first and then return it later when they have finished their study and find a job to support
their live.
In addition, student loan will also provide a convenience for the student to undergo their study as
they can use it not only to pay for the tuition in college, but also to support their life in daily basis. It
means that the students do not have to take any time-consuming-part-time job to fulfill their need of
food and place to stay during their time in college so that they can stay focus on their study and reach
their best achievement.
On the other hand, taking a student loan will leave the student with certain amount of debt that
they need to return to the government or the student loan provider as soon as they get a job. This
condition has created anxiousness among the students and also the society in general. They are worried
of their prosperity in the future with the amount of debt that they need to pay.
Besides, most universities in Indonesia cannot guarantee the student to get a job as soon as they are
graduated from the university. This fact makes the student think twice to accept the government plan
about student loan. They are afraid that their life will be much harder if they take the student loan and
they cannot return it just because they do not get a job when they have finished their study in the
college.
The advantages and also the disadvantages of student loan above are the reason why this topic
attracts so many attentions in the society. People realize that it can be helpful for students to achieve
higher education but it can also be a burden for them in certain situation.
