Vegetarians
There are many reasons why people become vegetarians, including personal health, the
environment, and the economy.
A vegetarian is a person who does not eat meat, poultry, and fish. Vegetarians mostly eat fruit,
vegetables, legumes, grains, seeds, and nuts. Vegetarians also consume eggs and dairy products,

obesity, and high blood pressure. This may happen due to a healthy vegetarian diet, which has

Read the following text to answer questions number 27 to 28.
The government should provide a rehabilitation Program for Drug Users
Drug users are actually ill people who need help. Rehabilitation is one of the main things they
should get. Instead of punishing drug users in prisons, the government should provide
rehabilitation for them.
Most users are actually victims of persuasive peddlers and they suffer from consuming the
drugs. Therefore, by rehabilitating them, we are actually helping them out from traps, which
they might accidentally step on.
If we only arrest drug users and send them to jail, this doesn't solve the problem as drug users
will still be addicted unless proper rehabilitation is imposed on them.
Providing rehabilitation programs for drug users and forcing them to participate in the programs
is better than only arresting them and doing nothing to their illness. Only drug dealers,
traffickers, and wholesalers should be imprisoned. 
27. Most drug users get drugs from ...
A. Jails D. Wholesalers
B. Peddlers E. Beggar
C. Traffickers
28. Sending drug users to prison is not a good solution because ...
A. They can't consume harmful drugs. D. They can be freed as soon as possible.
B. They are treated normally. E. They got it with high prices
 C. They may still be infected with harmful drugs.
