The following text is for question 23 – 25

The Benefit of Online Shopping

Smartphones are not only used as entertainment, but also function as tools for a variety of
tasks. Many people nowadays have smartphones to sustain their daily lives, and one of them is to
shop. The term is commonly known as online shopping, meaning that they can buy what they need
online. There are three main benefits to online shopping.
The first benefit is to save time and energy. By online shopping, people do not need to waste
their time and energy on the road to shop at malls or physical stores. Instead, they can just use their
phones to browse the stuff they need, add them to the cart and proceed to buy online. This can save
much time and energy for other activities.
The second benefit is to have more options. As we know, conventional stores have limited
stocks and supplies. When we go to one shop and cannot find what we need, we need to go to another
place, and so on. This can be solved by online shopping, for we can just browse what we need by
typing and scrolling.
Last but not least, we can also save money. Many online stores and websites offer us plenty
of cashbacks that we cannot find at offline stores.
To summaries, online shopping has better advantages as not only does it save our time and
energy, it also saves money and provides us with numerous choices.

23. What is the purpose of the text?

A. To describe what online shopping is
B. To explain the roots of online shopping

Digestion is the process by which food is digested into smaller particles or molecules for
use in the human body. Digestion starts from the mouth and stomach, but most takes place in the
small intestine. In these places, the food is mixed with substances called enzymes, which speed up
chemical reactions in the food. The fats, proteins, and carbohydrates (starches and sugar) in the
food are made up of very complex molecules and must be digested or broken down.
When digestion is completed, starches and complex sugar are changed into simple sugar,
fats are digested into fatty acids and glycerin, and proteins are digested into amino stream. Other
foods such as vitamins, minerals, and water do not need digestion. The rest of the food passes into
the large intestine. Water is taken back into the body. The remains, or feces, go to the rectum.

One hour's drive from my house is the most beautiful area in the south of New Zealand. It
is called "The Green Park" and people from different parts of New Zealand and different countries
often come here on holiday.
The Green Park is a very large area of natural forest and there are a lot of animals that
live there. Horses and donkeys roam everywhere and sometimes you can even see deer, cows and
ducks crossing the road.
What I like about the Green Park is that the colors of the forest change during the year. In
autumn. The leaves are red and gold and, in the spring, everything is purple, and different shades
of green. The trees are always colorful and different.
Tourists often prefer to go to the small villages in the Green Park with pretty houses to
stay in and traditional restaurants to dine in. Visitors are not allowed to camp anywhere in The
Green Park. I love to walk along the rivers, because there you can see the true heart of the forest.

The following text is for question 35 – 37

Once, there was a man named Faraz. He was a poor man who became rich through
tremendous hard work. But, as he had known the heavy burden of poverty, and fearing he might
lose his fortune, one night he carried his money out of the city and buried it under a tree.
After some time had passed, he began to miss the presence of his buried treasure and went
to the tree, so he might refresh his eyes with the sight of it. However, when he dug the ground at
the foot of the tree, he discovered that his priceless deposit was gone. He was very sad, but didn't
have friend to confide his loss. Each day, the emptiness in his heart and his future only deepened.
One day he went on some business to a learned and wise man of the city who said to him,
"I have for several days noticed a sad change in your health, my friend. I do not know the cause,
nor do I know what thorn of misfortune has pierced your heart. “Faraz wept tears of sadness. He
replied, "Indeed I carry a heavy heart and a great sorrow. Yet if I revealed it to you, it would
probably be of no use, and might even plunge you into grief as well."
The man said, "Since the hearts of good friends are like looking-glasses, giving and taking
secrets with each other, it is at all times necessary that they should tell each other any troubles
they may fall into, so that together they can take whatever steps are needed."
Faraz sighed. "Dear friend, I had some gold, it was my life savings. Fearing that it could
be stolen. I carried it to a certain place and buried it under a tree. And when I next visited it, it was
gone!"
The wise man was alarmed. "Truly, I am sorry! Indeed, this is a serious dilemma." He
paused. "And I'm afraid it may be difficult to get on the track of your gold. But, worry not. I'll help
you look for the treasure." Not so long after, Faraz found his buried money with the help of the
wise man. He was grateful not only for the man's help but also his willingness to listen to his
trouble.

35. Why was Faraz reluctant to tell the wise man about his problem?
A. Faraz wouldn't want others to know his fortune.
B. Faraz couldn't believe the wise man's good intention.
C. The wise man wouldn't be able to feel Faraz's sorrow.
D. The wise man would only feel the same sadness as Faraz.
E. The wise man would only experience the same misfortune.
36. From the text we know that…
A. Faraz's fortune was stolen.
B. the wise man was Faraz's friend.
C. Faraz hid his fortune near a tree.
D. Faraz was stubborn.
E. the wise man stole the fortune.
37. What can we learn from the story?
A. We cannot trust everyone.
B. We need to be careful in choosing
friends.
C. A good friend is more valuable
than bags of gold.
D. We should appreciate good advice
from a friend.
E. Being greedy will keep us away
from other people.
