He was satisfied with the meal, but this meant for the Balinese people enough food for a
thousand men. Difficulties arose when for the first time the barns were almost empty and the
new harvest was still a long way off.  This made Kbo Iwo wild with great anger.  In his hunger,
he destroyed all the houses and even all the temples.  It made the Balinese turn to rage. So,
they came together to plan steps to oppose this powerful giant by using his stupidity.  They
asked Kbo Iwo to build them a very deep well, and rebuild all the houses and temples he had
destroyed.  After they fed Kbo Iwo, he began to dig a deep hole.
One day he had eaten too much, he fell asleep in the hole.  The oldest man in the village
gave a sign, and the villagers began to throw the limestone they had collected before into the
hole.  The limestone made the water inside the hole boiling.  Kbo Iwo was buried alive.  Then

Text 6 for number 19 to 24

Should Americans be forced to Public Transportation?

First, let me define what the question is and isn’t asking. It isn’t asking if we should we all
abandon cars right now, nor is it asking if we should abandon them completely, nor is it asking if
every American should do so. It is asking weather some Americans should have to take public
transit some of the time, and I would say yes. Oil use and pollution aside, in some cities like Los
Angeles and New York there just isn’t room for any more roads, so in order for large cities to

4
grow, they need more people to take public transit or risk permanent traffic jam. One bus can
safely hold 40 people so even at half capacity that’s nearly 20 cars’ worth of space in traffic
cleared up, and nearly 20 parking spaces that don’t need to built. There are a lot of people that
can take with transit little inconvenience but simply don’t because they never have in the past. If
residents in areas with plenty of transit had to buy transit passes as part of their property taxes
then they would have little excuse not to bus occasionally. QA number of universities already
bundle a ‘U-Pass’ with their tuition feeds, forcing their students to take the bus. When given the
change the majority of those students have voted to keep these programs. A similar system in
apartments where a portion of the tenants are not issued parking spaces in exchange for a
discount on their rent would also be community car to several apartment tenants that arrange a
schedule for the car, and this program gets many positive reviews.
So yes, I would say that Americans should be forced to use public transit, as Americans whom
are already forced to do so find that it works well for them.

19. What does writer suggest?

A. Americans should learn to use public transportation
B. Americans should give up their car
C. Americans should be forced to use public transportation
D. The government should limit the number cars
E. The government should charge extra taxes for those who uses cars
20. The following is one of the writer’s suggestions in forcing people to use Public
Transportation ….
A. Make people buy transit passes as part of their property taxes
B. Banning the use of cars
C. Stop automobile productions
D. Fine people who do not use public transportation
E. Limit the number of gasoline
21. What is the purpose of the article?
A. Defining the functions of public transportation
B. Arguing that Americans should not use public transportation
C. Suggesting American the ways to use public transportation
D. Asking for more public transportation
E. Suggesting that Americans should be forced to use public transportation
22. What is the function of the first paragraph?
A. Repeating the thesis or proposal
B. Stating the proposal
C. Stating the reasons behind the thesis
D. Describing the problem
E. Giving argument
23. In the article you find the word “transit” a few times. What does the word “transit” means?
A. Stop
B. Transportation
C. Exit
D. Entrance
E. Bus Stop

Sura and Baya

A long time ago, there were two animals, Sura and Baya. Sura was the name of a shark and
Baya was a crocodile. They lived in a sea.
Once Sura and Baya were looking for some food. Suddenly, Baya saw a goat.
"Yummy, this is my lunch," said Baya.
"No way! This is my lunch. You are greedy" said Sura. Then they fought for the goat. After
several hours, they were very tired.
Feeling tired of fighting, they lived in the different places. Sura lived in the water and Baya lived
in the land. The border was the beach, so they would never fight again.
One day, Sura went to the land and looked for some food in the river. He was very hungry and
there was not much food in the sea. Baya was very angry when he knew that Sura broke the
promise.
