Questions 1 – 3 refer to the following text.

Bambang Mustari "Bob" Sadino was born in an affluent family. He was the youngest among his
four siblings. When his parents died, Sadino was still 19 years old. He inherited all his family
properties since his siblings were considered to have prosperous lives. Sadino then spent his money to
travel around the world. In 1967, Sadino and his family returned to Indonesia. He brought along his
two Mercedes cars. He sold one of his cars to buy a plot of land in Kemang, South Jakarta, and he kept
the other car. Sadino had the determination to work independently. He then became a taxi driver of his
own Mercedes. Unfortunately he got in a car accident, which resulted in his car being badly damaged.
Due to lack of money, Sadino switched to becoming a mason.
One day, Sadino's friend recommended him to do poultry business focusing in domestic chicken
(imported chicken). At that time local chicken (native chicken, smaller than domestic chicken) still
dominated Indonesia market. Sadino was the one who first introduced domestic chicken and their eggs
in Indonesia. Sadino sold domestic eggs door to door. At that time, domestic chicken eggs were not
popular in Indonesia so that his goods were only purchased by expatriates (such as Americans,
Europeans). Over time, domestic chicken eggs began to be known throughout Indonesia so that
Sadino's business grew rapidly. Sadino then expanded his business by selling chicken meat. Besides
introducing the domestic chicken eggs, he also was the first man to apply hydroponic farming system
in Indonesia. In the early 1985, the average sales per month of Sadino's companies was 40-50 tons of
raw meat, 60 – 70 tons of processed meat, and 100 tons of fresh vegetables.

There are two addresses in London that the whole world knows. One is 10 Downing Street, where
the Prime Minister lives. The other is Buckingham Palace . This famous palace, first built in 1703, is in
the very centre of London. It is two places, not one. It is a family house, where children play and grow
up. It is also the place where presidents, kings, and politicians go to meet the Queen. Buckingham
Palace is like a small town, with a police station, two post offices, a hospital, a bar, two sports clubs, a
disco, a cinema, and a swimming pool. There are 600 rooms and three miles of red carpet. Two men
work full-time to look after 300 clocks. About 700 people work in the Palace.
When the Queen gets up in the morning, seven people look after her. One starts her bath, one
prepares her clothes, and one feeds the Royal dogs. She has eight or nine dogs, and they sleep in their
owm bedroom near the Queen’s bedroom. Two people bring her breakfast. She has coffee from
Harrods, toast, and eggs. Every da for thirteen minutes, a piper plays Scottish music outside her room
and the Queen reads The Times. Every Tuesday evening, she meets the prime minister. They talk about
world news and have a drink, perhaps a gin and tonic or a whiskey.
When the Queen invites a lot of people for dinner, it takes three days to prepare the table and three
days to do the washing-up. Everybody has five glasses: one for red wine, one for white wine, one for
water, one for port, and one for liqueur. During the first and second courses, the Queen speaks to the
person on her left and then she speaks to the person on her right for the rest of the meal. When the
Queen finishes her food, everybody finishes, and it is time for the next course!

Questions 13 – 15 refer to the following text.

Photosynthesis is the process for converting solar energy to chemical energy and storing it in
bonds of sugar. This process occurs in plants and some algae (Kingdom Protista). Plants only need
solar energy, CO2 and H2O to make sugar. The proces of photosynthesis takes in the chloroplasts,
specially using chlorophyll, the green pigment involved in photosynthesis.
Photosynthesis takes place primarily in plant leaves and little to none occurs in stems, etc. The
parts of a typical leaf include the upper and lower of epidermis, the mesophyll, the vascular bundle(s)
(veins), and the stomates. The upper and lower epidermal cells do not have chloroplasts, thus
photosynthesis does not occur there. They serve primarily as protection for the rest of the leaf. The
stomates are holes which occur primarily in the lower epidermis and are for air exchange; they let CO2
in and O2 out. The vascular bundles or veins in a leaf are part of the plant’s transportation system,
moving water and nutrients around the plant as needed. The mesophyll cells have chloroplasts and this
is where photosynthesis occur.
As you hopefully recall, the parts of a chloroplast include the outer and inner membranes,
intermembrane space, stroma and thylakoids stacked in grana. The chlorophyll is built into the
membranes of the thylakoids.
Chlorophyll looks green because it absorbs the red and blue light, making these colours invisible to
the naked eye. It is the green light which is not absorbed that finally reaches our eyes, making
chlorophyll appear green. However, it is the energy from the red and blue light that are absorbed that is,
thereby, able to be used to do photosynthesis. The green light we can see is not absorbed by the plant
and thus cannot be used to do photosynthesis.

13. What is the function of the upper and lower epidermis?

A. To transport the nutrient.
B. To enable photosynthesis.
C. To absorb leaf green lights.
D. To protect the rest of the leaf.

14. What does the text mainly talk about?

A. Photosynthesis

C. Solar energy
D. Plant leaves
