Everybody should change their way of life to reduce global warming. There are several

things that we can do. One of them is by buying and consuming fresh local groceries as much

as possible. It of course includes local vegetables, fruits, bread, etc.

Local groceries don’t need much transportation to get it into the market. It of course means,

the amount of carbon dioxide produced is less than the groceries from other region.

Therefore, by buying local groceries we are helping reduce the amount of carbon dioxide

produce.

Consuming fresh groceries instead of frozen ones are healthier for us. Furthermore, fresh

food or groceries means no requirements for it to be freeze up. It means that no electricity

is needed and saving energy means reducing carbon dioxide and money.

So, from now on we should consume fresh local groceries to reduce global warming.

Text 3

To improve comfort and cleanliness at our school, a number of dust bins should be

increased.

When we look at classrooms, school corridors and school yard, there are paper mineral

water cups, straws, and napkins here and there. The condition of uncleanliness and

discomfort really hinders learning and teaching environment. Litters thrown carelessly

cause disease, especially empty plastic cup or glasses. They can be filled out with water

coming from the rain. This can be placed for dengue mosquitoes to spread out.
Besides, these rubbish can deteriorate the scene. Well painted wall and green school yard

do not mean anything litters are scattered everywhere.

Anyway I notice that most of the students in our school have responsibilities for the school

environment. They put their litters on the proper places. But some are not diligent enough

to find the dust bins. The numbers of dust bins in our schools are not enough. One dust bins

should be put beside each of steps, outside of the classrooms, and some more also in the

corridors.

Probably one dust bin should be in every ten meters. So when students want to throw away

their litters, they can find the dust bins easily.

When school is equipped with sufficient dust bins, we do not have problems of freak and

discomfort any more. Our school will be very clean and become a nice place to study.

12. According to the writer, more dust bins..... in every ten meters.

A. should be decorated

B. should be painted

C. should be placed

D. are unnecessary

E. are not required

13. What is the writer’s argument on a sufficient number of dust bins?

A. They can prevent litters

B. They can save janitor’s energy

C. Students are asked to clean them

D. They make school environment neat

E. Students can throw garbage away easily

14. What is the writer’s suggestion?

A. To buy more dustbins

B. To hire more gardeners

C. To use dustbins efficiently

D. To ask parents to give more dustbins

E. To ask students to clean the school yard

Text 4

School uniform is special clothes worn by all students of a particular school. The uniform of

a school may differ from others. Why should schools use uniforms? Below are some reasons.

First of all, Notre Dame’s Department of Sociology produced a study in 1998 concerning

school uniforms. Their findings using 10th grade students showed that uniforms have no

direct effect on “substance abuse, behavioral problems or attendance.” It also claimed a

negative effect on student achievements for those students considered ‘pro-school’.

Secondly, uniform helps to create a strong sense school ethos and a sense of belonging to a

particular community. As such it promotes discipline and helps to drive up academic

standards, which is why a uniform is often adopted by schools which are being reopened

with a fresh start after being classified as failing.

Finally, uniform acts as a social leveler, under which all students are equal in the eyes of the

school and of each other. In institutions without uniform students are often competitive and

worry endlessly about their appearance and the clothes they should wear. Pupils without

expensive designer clothes and trainers may be singled out as social outcasts, or

stigmatized as being from poor backgrounds. For these reasons many parents prefer

uniforms as they save them money on buying clothes for school wear.

Considering the findings, schools should implement the uniform as their identity. The

government should also publish some kind of rule which makes uniform compulsory for

schools.

15. In institutions without uniform students, one will be regarded poor because he/she

...........

A. does not wear a school uniform

B. cannot afford to buy a school uniform

C. wears no expensive designer clothes

D. posses a bad academic record

E. has a bad attitude at school

16. “As such it promotes discipline and helps to drive up academic standards ......”
(Paragraph 3). What does the it word refer?

A. Community

B. School ethos

C. Research finding

D. A study

E. Uniform

17. The last paragraph is about ........

A. The writer’s suggestion

B. The writer’s arguments

C. The writer’s reasons

D. The writer’s reiteration

E. The writer’s thesis

18. “.... Substance abuse, behavioral problems or attendance.” (Paragraph 2). The

antonym of “attendance” word is .......

A. arrival

B. come up

C. appearance

D. presence

E. absence

19 . Arrange these jumbled paragraphs into the correct order.

a. Those who want to penalize older, leaded petrol vehicles and their owners don’t

seem to appreciate that, in the country, there is no public transport to fall back upon

and one’s own vehicle is the only way to get about.

b. In all the discussion over the removal of lead from petrol there doesn’t seem to have

been any mention of difference between driving in the city and the country.

c. While I realize my leaded petrol car is polluting the air wherever I drive, I feel that

when you travel through the country, where you only see another car every five to

ten minutes, the problem is not as severe as when traffic is concentrated on city
roads.

d. I feel that country people, who often have to travel huge distances to the nearest

town and who already spend a great deal of money on petrol, should be treated

differently to the people who live in the city.

A. a-b-c-d

B. b-c-d-e

C. d-a-b-e

D. c-d-e-a

E. b-c-a-d

20. Arrange these jumbled paragraphs into the correct order.

a. The first, college students are adults, not elementary school children. The student

has an ability to determine which of the acts he should be doing which is not

because the student has a different mindset with the child. The student is able to

determine what he needs in the course so he will not neglect to improve his

knowledge even though he is not attending the class

b. To summarize, attendance in college classes should be optional. Students may

already know the material that the professor will cover. Sometimes the professor

lectures on material that is in the textbook, so students can read it on their own

time. Therefore, in my opinion, compulsory attendance in college classes should be

abolished.

c. On my first day of class in an American university, I discovered that there are

many differences between universities in US and in my country. One difference hit

me immediately when the professor walked into the classroom dressed in casual

pants and a sports shirt. Then he sat down, and I received a second shock. He sat

down on the desk, not behind the desk. The biggest shock happened when he

passed out a piece of paper listing the requirements of the class. I learned that I

was not allowed to miss any classes! In my country, professors do not know or

care if students attend lectures, but in the United States, professors actually call

the roll at the beginning of each class meeting. In my opinion, compulsory

attendance in college is completely inappropriate for two reasons.

d. Students often have other obligations such as work and family. Not infrequently

we meet there are students who have to work to help the cost of lectures and this

has become a necessity for him. So also with students who already have a family.

Sometimes the affairs involving the family are more important than attending the

class so the students tend to leave the class because they think the class can be

replaced by learning independently.

A. a-b-c-d

B. b-c-d-e

C. c-a-d-b

D. c-d-e-a

E. b-c-a-d
