The following text is for questions 22 to 24

Computer and the Internet are useful as well as powerful. Information about health and safe usage of
computer and the Internet, especially for children, should be owned by each family. Computer
connected to internet is powerful way to socialize with others. It can be good but also bad effect.
Recently we hear a lot of children get the advantage of social networking sites but we often see the
news about the disadvantage of it for children. Safety of computer and Internet usage should continue
to be campaigned.
The role of parent in assisting and directing children in using computer is very necessary.
Installation of software monitor such as key logger which has function to watch and note all activities
relating to keyboard usage is helpful but not enough to protect children from potential harms. Children
tend to hide what they have done in front of the computer to their parent. They see that all of they have
done are their privacy and no one may know.
We can not prevent children from using computer because it is multifunctional. However, many
parents worry about what their kids do in front of the computer; whether they are doing homework or
even just playing games. Or spending all time to surf the Internet which is the materials do not fit with

his age. There is a tendency, especially teenagers, want to become acquainted with many strangers out
side. The lack parental supervision of children's activities is likely to pose a potential danger to them.
In short, considering the negative effect that may emerge, parental monitor against the use of
computers needs to be done from time to time.

The following text is for questions 25 to 27.

Nowadays many people use the Internet for communicating with other people. They share their
feelings, ideas, opinions, and problems in social network. However, sharing problems in social network
really annoys to other people and embarass themselves who do it.
People who share their problems in social network really annoys to other people. In Facebook and
Twitter, there are many unstable teenagers who post their problems here.
Social network is not about share the problem like this. As a user of social network, I feel like they
are disturbing my vision with their status. I want to see news from people updates, but when they use it
for sharing their problems, it is annoying.
Not only annoys to other people, sharing problems in social network embarass themselves. With
posting like what I show before, people think that the person who posted it has a terrible life. And it
shows us that the person is not polite enough. It just makes us think that the person is bad. And it
embarrasses herself or himself.
In my view people should not share their problem in social network. It is better for them to write
their feeling in a book which called diary or they just have to share it with their friends. Because if they
share their problems in social network, every people who is online will know the bad side of them.

The following text is for questions 37 to 39

A thunderstorm, also known as an electrical storm, a lightning storm, thundershower or simply a storm,
is a form of turbulent weather characterized by the presence of lightning and its acoustic effect on the
Earth's atmosphere known as thunder. The meteorologically assigned cloud type associated with the
thunderstorm is the cumulonimbus. Thunderstorms are usually accompanied by strong winds, heavy
rain and sometimes snow, sleet, hail, or no precipitation at all. Those that cause hail to fall are called
hailstorms. Thunderstorms may line up in a series or rainband, known as a squall line. Strong or severe
thunderstorms may rotate, known as supercells. While most thunderstorms move with the mean wind
flow through the layer of the troposphere that they occupy, vertical wind shear causes a deviation in
their course at a right angle to the wind shear direction.
Thunderstorms result from the rapid upward movement of warm, moist air. They can occur inside
warm, moist air masses and at fronts. As the warm, moist air moves upward, it cools, condenses, and
forms cumulonimbus clouds that can reach heights of over 20 km (12.45 miles). As the rising air
reaches its dew point, water droplets and ice form and begin falling the long distance through the
clouds towards the Earth's surface. As the droplets fall, they collide with other droplets and become
larger. The falling droplets create a downdraft of air that spreads out at the Earth's surface and causes
strong winds associated commonly with thunderstorms.

37. The text is mainly concerned with …

A. Hailstorm
B. Thunderstorm
C. Earth’s surface
D. Cumulonimbus

D. To explain how thunderstorm happens
E. To report the frequency of thunderstorm

The following text is for questions 41 to 42.

School uniforms are dress codes that are determined by the teaching institutions. Students have to
follow the designed code obediently everyday. Many people believe that school uniforms should be
applied but the others don't.
Uniforms have various advantages for both the family and the child. A unified school apparel can
relieve a financial stress of many families. As kids tend to compete and imitate each other, the race of
following new trends in fashion or, providing different attire for every school day is considered a
financial burden, not every family can afford it.
Additionally, a uniform creates a sense of equality between all pupils. Young kids tend to judge
others according to their look and what they wear. Uniting their school attire will draw their attention
to other criteria and, the only advantage of one student over another would be personality, academic
achievement or being good at sports.
On the other hand, as repetition can lead to boredom, children can get frustrated of wearing the
same thing to school every day. Also, it takes away their right to choose what to wear.
In conclusion, I believe uniforms aren’t meant to suppress the creativity or freedom of children. It
helps redirecting kids’ creativity towards more important things than outer look, and alleviate financial
burden of their families.

The following text is for questions 43 and 44.

The Steven Spielberg movie of the Orson Welles radio play of the H.G. Wells book—a content
reuse trifecta. Or just think of this as "Close Encounters: This Time They're Quite Upset." Tom
Cruise is the slightly irresponsible (but oh-so charming) divorced father of two, including the kid
actor who makes Shirley Temple look like a dullard, Dakota Fanning (see Man on Fire with Denzel
Washington for her breakthrough performance). The death rays hit the fan in Tom's New Jersey,
and apparently salvation is to be found in Boston, where Mom lives, so off we go, encountering the
entire range of humanity and inhumanity along the way. The movie is really about how people
respond to extreme stress—some folks, like tennis hustler Bobby Riggs, just got better as the stress
grew (until Billie Jean King), and many lose it.
The tension builds pretty continuously for the first two thirds of the movie--just as you think the
nightmare is ending, something else happens to raise the tension. The aliens are nicely menacing
(no ET here) and there's no time wasted on their motivation. The family dynamics get a little
wearisome, but in all, a great summer entertainment.

43. The text is mainly about ….

A. Heroic salvation
B. Life of some actors
C. A review of a movie
D. Tension and success
E. Description of some states

44. The writer thinks that the film ….

B. is wonderful to see
C. displays nice aliens
