This is because many of them have got higher

Kang Chol Hwan was born into a loyal family that had
once lived in the large Korean community of Japan. In
Kyoto, his grandfather had been supporter of Kim Il Sung,
North Korean’s Great Leader since 1945. In 1961 the
grandfather returned with his family to North Korea and
had important government post.
Within months, however, he was complaining to friends
that North Korea was not the country he had expected. He
was shocked to see so much poverty, which he eventually
came to blame on the government’s stifling grip on the
economy. One morning in July 1977, when Kang was nine,
his grandfather left for work and never returned.
A few weeks later, seven plain clothes security guards
stormed into Kang’s house “Your grandfather betrayed the
fatherland,” one of them stated, “you must be punished.”
Kang’s parents and grandmother subbed as they forced
to pack their belonging into two army trucks. The family
was driven off, but Kang’s mother was left behind,
“spared” because her own father was regarded as a
revolutionary hero. That was the last Kang ever saw her.

graduates are employed, compared to four out of ten
high school graduates, three out of ten elementary school
graduates, and only two out often among those with less

considerably more education than those who do not
work. Among the working women only three fourths are
high school graduates and less than 10 percent have not
been to high school at all.

Text for question 14
A panic attack is a sudden feeling of
terror.Usually it does not last long, but it many feellike
forever. The cause can be something asnormal as driving
over a bridge or flyingin an airplane. It can happen even
if the person has driven over many bridges or flown
many times before. The signs of panic disorder include a
fast heartbeat, sweaty hands, difficulty breathing, and a
lightheaded feeling.
At first a person may have no idea what is wrong.
The first appearance is between the ages of eighteen
and twenty-four. In some cases, it develops after
tragedy. For example, the death of a loved one or some
other difficult situation. In the UnitedStates, the
National Institute of Mental Health says more than two
million people are affected in any one-year period. The
American Psychological Association says that it happens
more to women than men. It can last anywhere from a
few months tolifetime.
Some people who suffer a panic attackdevelop a
phobia, a deep fear of ever repeating the activity that
brought on the attack. But experts say panic disorder
can be treated. Doctors might suggest anti-anxiety or
antidepressant medicines. Talking to a counsellor could
help a person learn to deal with or avoid a panic attack.
There are breathing methods, for example, that might
help a person calm down.
Panic disorder is included among what mental
health professionals call anxiety disorders. A study
published last week reported a link between anxiety media outlets. The
disorders and several physical diseases. It says these
include thyroid disease, lung and stomach problems,
arthritis, migraine headaches, and allergic conditions.

Text for question 15
Recent technological advances in manned and
unmanned undersea vehicles have overcome some of the
limitations of divers and diving equipment. Withouta
vehicle, divers often become sluggish and their mental
concentration becomes limited. Because of undersea
pressure which affected their speech organs,
communication among divers was difficult or impossible.
But today, most oceanographers make observations by
means of instruments which are lowered into the ocean or
from samples taken fromthe water. Direct observations of the
ocean floor are made not only by divers but also by deep-
diving submarines. Some of these submarines can dive to
depths of more than seven miles and cruise at depths of
thousand feet. Radio-equipped buoys can be operated
by remote control in order to transmit information back
to land-based laboratories.

Text for question 16 and 17

While bullying has always been a problem encountered
during childhood and adolescence, we all know it is on the rise.
When a child is intentionally and repeatedly mean to another
child, the cycle begins. Bullying occurson the playgrounds, at
lunch in the cafeteria, inlocker rooms, even over the
phone. And now that so many children have access to the
latest technology, the problem has become even more
prevalent. Enter the newest room—cyber bullying— whereby
children and teens deliberately use digital media to
disseminate false, embarrassing,or just plain mean messages or
pictures about one person to others. Cyberbullying can
occur via text, email, Facebook, Twitter, or other social

Kantor Pusat : Jl. Simpang Wilis Indah 19A Malang

American Academy of Pediatrics calls cyberbullying “the flow
most common online risk for all teen”.
Studies have shown that between 25 percent to 45
percent of teens report being bullied online. Many kids
report such treatmenthaving occurred more than once.
Cyberbullying is affecting all ages, as even young children
oftenhave access to technology and the internet.
Children of all ages need to understand that the internet
is not a “safe” place, and that it is a public forum. Even if you
delete a message or photo, it actually continues to exist in
cyberspace. Also, many teens mistakenly thinkthey will not “get
caught” if they bully someone online, or that such behaviour
is “not that big a deal”.
All parents need to discuss internet safety and the
problem of cyberbullying with their children. This is especially
important for tweens and teens, as they spend much of
their time online. Just as kids must learn and practice
good manners in public, they also need to mindtheir
manners online. If a child would not say something to
another young person’s face, then the same dig should not
be emailed or texted. Itis really as simple as that.
This is what I call the “front door rule”. Tell your child that
if he/she writes an email or text or posts something
derogatory about another person on Facebook, Twitter,
Instagram (or other sites), to think before they push
“send”. Ifthey would not want to post the information on
their front door for family members and all the neighbors
to see, they should stop, think and change-or forget
about-the message. It could hurt someone more than
they realize and couldalso be forwarded on to hundreds,
thousands, even millions of others.

Text for question 18 and 19

Situated on steep slopes, montane and watershed
forests are especially important in ensuring water

Kantor Pusat : Jl. Simpang Wilis Indah 19A Malang

and inhibiting erosion. Yet, during the 1980s, montane
formations suffered the highest deforestation rate of
tropical forests.
When the forests are cut down, less moisture is
evapotranspired into the atmosphere resulting in the
formation of fewer rain clouds. Subsequently there isa
decline in rainfall, subjecting the area to drought. Today
Madagascar is largely a red, treeless desert from
generations of forest clearing with fire. River flows
decline and smaller amounts of quality water reach cities
and agricultural lands: Colombia, once second in the
world with freshwater reserves, has fallen to 24th due to
its extensive deforestation over the past 30 years.
Excessive deforestation around the Malaysian capital of
Kuala Lumpur, combined with the dry conditions created
by El Nino triggered strict, water rationing in 1998, and
for the first time the city had to import water.
There is serious concern that widespread
deforestation could lead to a significant decline in rainfall
and trigger a positive feedback process of increasing
desiccation for neighboring forest cover. The newly
desiccated forest becomes proneto devastating fires. Such
fires materialized in 1997 and 1998 in conjunction with the
dry conditions created by el Nino. Millions of acres
burned as fires swept through Indonesia, Brazil,
Colombia, Central America, Florida, and other places. The
Woods Hole Research Center warned thatmore than,
400,000 square kilometers of Brazilian Amazonia were
highly vulnerableto fire in 1998.

Text for question 20
Amoeba vary greatly in size and shape, but basically
they contain the same structures found in most animal
cells. The cell membrane is usually highly elastic, although
in one group, the verrucous amoebas, the membrane is
thickened and somewhat stiff. The amoeba’s body is
divided into a relatively rigid outer zone, called ectoplasm.
The endoplasm contains one or mode nuclei, a number of
mitochondria and other typical cell organelles and several
vacuoles containing food particles. Usually, a contractile
vacuole that expels fluids is also present.
The most distinctive anatomical feature of amoeba is
their capacity to form pseudopods of strikingly different
forms, and this trait is used as the basis for classifying
amoebas into different groups. Some amoebas, including
the common amoeba (Amoeba proteus), have bluntly
rounded pseudopods, called lobopods, which are
composed of both endoplasm and ectoplasm. Other have
slender, tapering pseudopods, called filopods, composed
only of actoplasm.
