Have you ever been stuck on the side of the road with a flat tire? Do you want to be able to
change a tire without having to ask for help? Fortunately, changing a tire is a pretty simple
task, provided you're prepared and willing to exert a little effort.
1. Find a flat, stable and safe place to change your tire. You should have a solid, level
surface that will restrict the car from rolling. If you are near a road, park as far from
traffic as possible and turn on your emergency flashers (hazard lights). Avoid soft
ground and hills.
2. Apply the parking brake and put car into "Park" position. If you have a standard
transmission, put your vehicle in first or reverse.
3. Place a heavy object (e.g., rock, concrete, spare wheel, etc.) in front of the front and
back tires.
4. Take out the spare tire and the jack. Place the jack under the frame near the tire that
you are going to change. Ensure that the jack is in contact with the metal portion of
your car's frame
5. Raise the jack until it is supporting (but not lifting) the car. The jack should be firmly
in place against the underside of the vehicle. Check to make sure that the jack is
perpendicular to the ground.
6. Remove the hubcap and loosen the nuts by turning counterclockwise. Don't take them
all the way off; just break the resistance. By keeping the wheel on the ground when
you first loosen the nuts, you'll make sure that you're turning the nuts instead of the
wheel.
7. Pump or crank the jack to lift the tire off the ground. You need to lift it high enough to
remove the flat tire and replace it with a spare.
8. Remove the nuts the rest of the way. Turn them counterclockwise until they are loose.
Repeat with all lug nuts, then remove the nuts completely.
9. Remove the tire. Place the flat tire under the vehicle so in the event of a jack failure
the vehicle will fall on the old wheel, hopefully preventing injury. If the jack is placed
on a flat, solid base, you shouldn't have any problems.
10. Place the spare tire on the hub. Take care to align the rim of the spare tire with the
wheel bolts, then put on the lug nuts.
11. Tighten the nuts by hand until they are all snug
12. Lower the car without applying full weight on the tire. Tighten the nuts as much as
possible.
13. Lower the car to the ground fully and remove the jack. Finish tightening the nuts and
replace the hubcap.

22. What is the purpose of the writer to write the text?

A. To support the spare tire.
B. To prevent from a jack failure.
C. To make it easier to be removed.
D. To prevent our body from getting hurt.
E. To prevent the car from falling on the old wheel.

Yogyakarta is one of the foremost cultural centers of Java, the seat of the
mighty Javanese empire of Mataram from which present day Yogyakarta has the best
inherited of traditions. The city itself has a special charm, which seldom fails to
captivate the visitor. Gamelan, classical and contemporary Javanese dances, leather
puppet, theater and other expressions of traditional art will keep the visitor spellbound.
Local craftsmen excel in arts such batiks, silver and leather works. Next to the
traditional, contemporary art has found fertile soil in Yogya's culture oriented society.
Yogyakarta is often called the main gateway to the Central Java as where it is
geographically located. It stretches from Mount Merapi to the Indian Ocean. There is
daily air service to Yogya from Jakarta, Surabaya and Bali as well as regular train
service and easy accessibility by road. Yogyakarta is commonly considered as the
modern cultural of Central Java. It is a very lively city and a shopper's delight. The
main road, Malioboro Street, is always crowded and famous for its night street food-
culture and street vendors. Many tourist shops and cheap hotels are concentrated along
this street or in the adjoining tourist area such Sosrowijayan Street.
The key attraction of Yogyakarta is 'Kraton' (the Sultan's Palace), the centre of Yogya's
traditional life and despite the advance of modernity; it still emanates the spirit of
refinement, which has been the hallmark of Yogya's art for centuries. This vast
complex of decaying buildings was built in the 18th century, and is actually a walled

After fake vaccines, the alleged use of expired food ingredients and now expired
medicines, what else will happen? Over the last month, consumers have had to face the
risk of falling victim to dirty business practices that could harm their health or even
endanger their life.
And one may ask, where is the state? According to the preamble of the
Constitution, the state is responsible for protecting its citizens. This may be merely a
rhetorical question because it is impossible to expect the state, through its various
agencies, to guard every citizen 24 hours a day.
But as seen by the recurrent blame games and denials made by government and
state agencies responsible for food and drug monitoring whenever a scandal arises, the
state’s protection of consumers is regrettably lacking. Law enforcement is therefore the
only way to prove the state’s care for the safety of consumers and its interest in
preventing more people from becoming victims.
The police are now examining samples of ingredients used by two popular
restaurant chains in Jakarta, which had already passed their shelf-life date. It will take
the police quite some time to finally act against the owners of the restaurant chains and
for the courts to determine their fate.
Last month, the police arrested a number of people, including doctors, after the
discovery of the distribution and use of bogus vaccines for children in Jakarta, West Java
and Banten. The Health Ministry recorded that 1,500 children had been exposed to the
fake vaccines from 2014 onward and ordered free revaccinations for them.
Indonesia does not fall short in legislation to protect consumers. The only
problem is how the laws, ranging from the Consumer Protection Law to the Criminal
Code, and their operational regulations, are enforced.
Rarely is the law strictly enforced in the form of maximum punishments. We have
never heard of a company having its license revoked or its owners imprisoned for
lengthy periods of time for cheating their consumers. Rather, because the Consumer
Protection Law does not mean to kill business, it is more likely a company will be given
an opportunity to renew its permits despite having a stained track record.
Consumers in general cannot afford to fight the financial might of producers,
which is why the state has to support the weak to ensure fairness. Educating consumers
of their rights is the least the state could do.

D. The police restricted a number of people and doctors in Jakarta, West Java and

Java. They were Kyai Pasir and his wife Nyai Pasir. They lived peacefully. Kyai Pasir
was a farmer. He worked in a field. Nyai Pasir stayed at home. Every day she cleaned

It was a beautiful morning. Kyai Pasir left the house and went to his field. While he
was walking, he stumbled upon something. He looked at the thing carefully. It was a
big egg! At home, Kyai Pasir told his wife about the egg. His wife regretted that her
husband did not bring the egg home.
On the following days, Kyai Pasir went to the field as usual. He planned to bring the
egg home as his wife's request. Kyai Pasir was walking carefully. He looked around.
And aha! He found the egg. He carefully brought the egg home. "Nyai, this is the egg I

Contagious diseases are which are passed from person to person. They can be
passed by direct contact by bacteria in the air.
Some diseases are very dangerous and these can spread quickly, causing
sickness and sometimes death. In the 14th century in Europe, a contagious diseases
called “bubonic plague” or “black death” killed millions people. No one knew how it
spreads and they could not stop it. Today, a contagious disease like bubonic plague
can be stopped by modern medicine, but at the time, nobody understood how diseases
were spread or what caused them. Even this century there have been outbreaks of
serious contagious diseases such as typhoid, yellow fever, and cholera.
Doctors and scientist have studied these diseases can prevent them if medicine is
available. Unfortunately, many countries are crowded and disease spreads quickly.
When this happens this is called an ‘epidemic’. Even today doctors and modern
medicine sometimes cannot stop epidemics until many people have already died.

A survey has found about 13 percent of first time smokers in the country are
junior high school students. It also revealed 89 percent of young female
employees were smokers.The survey was conducted in five major cities across
the country, including Surakarta in Central Java.
Muhammad Syahril Mansyur, the Surakarta Health Agency’s respiratory
 illness division, said that the finding of the survey showed an alarming growth
rate of Indonesian smokers. “This situation is a cause for concern,” he said. “It
appears the country’s younger generation is uneducated about the health risks of
smoking.”

Acid rain is rain that is highly acidic because of sulphur oxides, nitrogen oxides, and other
air pollutants dissolved in it. Normal rain is slightly acidic, with a pH of 6. Acid rain may
have a pH value as low as 2.8.

Acid rain can severely damage both plant and animal life. Certain lakes, for example, have
lost all fish and plant life because of acid rain.

Acid rain comes from sulphur in coal and oil. When they burn, they make sulphur dioxide
(SO2). Most sulphur leaves factory chimneys as the gaseous sulphur dioxide (SO2) and
most nitrogen is also emitted as one of the nitrogen oxides (NO or NO 2), both of which are
gases. The gases may be dry deposited absorbed directly by the land, by lakes, or by the
surface vegetation. If they are in the atmosphere for any time, the gases will oxidize (gain
an oxygen atom) and go into solution as acids. Sulphuric acid (H 2SO4) and the nitrogen
oxides will become nitric acid (HNO3). The acids usually dissolve in cloud droplets and
may travel great distances before being precipitated as acid rain. Catalysts such as
hydrogen peroxide, ozone, and ammonium help promote the formation of acids in clouds.
 More ammonium (NH4) can be formed when some of the acids are partially neutralized by
airborne ammonia (NH3). Acidication increases with the number of active hydrogen (H+)
ions dissolved in acid. Hydrocarbons emitted by for example, car exhausts will react in
sunlight with nitrogen oxides to produce ozone. Although it is invaluable in the
atmosphere, low level ozone causes respiratory problems and also hastens the formation
of acid rain. When acid rain falls on the ground it dissolves and liberates heavy metals and
aluminum (Al). When it is washed into lakes, aluminum irritates the outer surfaces of
many fish. As acid rain falls or drains into the lake the pH of the lake falls. Forests suffer
the effect of acid rain through damage to leaves, through the loss of vital nutrients, and
through the increased amounts of toxic metals liberated by acid, which damage roots and
soil microorganisms.

43. Which of the following is not true about acid rain?

A. It endangers water life.
B. It contains dangerous gases.
C. It can damage animal and plant life.
D. It has higher pH than the normal rain
E. It contains lower pH than the normal rain
