The following text is for number 3 & 4

Ant-eaters are perhaps the most curious looking animals.

Their long head and snout look like tubes, and they have no teeth at all. Their front legs are very strong and armed
with heavy curved claws with which they break open the nets of ants and termites and then, when the insects rush
out, use their long, sticky tongues to lick them up at great speed.

True ant-eaters are found in the swamps and forests of central and South America. Scaly ant-eaters, or pangolins,
are found in Africa and tropical Asia.

The government should Provide 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 to 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.
15. Where do the users get the drugs form?
a. Jails
b. Peddlers
c. Traffickers
d. Wholesalers
e. Rehabilitation center
16. Why is it not a good solution to send drug users to prison?
a. They can't consume harmful drugs
b. They are treated normally
c. They may still be infected with harmful drugs
d. They can be freed as soon as possible
e. They are given the whole recovery program
17. "...drug users will still be addicted unless proper rehabilitation is imposed to them." (Paragraph 3)

Nuclear power is the controlled use of nuclear energy. Nuclear energy is energy in uranium that can be released
by nuclear reaction in a machine is called a nuclear reactor. This energy is made into electricity, which can be
used to power machine and heat home. 14% of the world’s electricity came from nuclear power. But, the use of
nuclear power causes some hazard.

There are three separate sources of hazard in the process of supplying energy by nuclear power. First, the
radioactive material must travel from its place of manufacture at the power station. Although the power stations
themselves are solidly built, the containers used for the transport of the materials are not. There the normally only
two methods of transport available, namely road or rail. Unfortunately, both of these involve close contact with
the general public, since the routes are sure to pass near, or even thought, heavily populated areas.

Next, there is the problem of waste. All nuclear power station produced wastes that in most cases will remain
radioactive for thousands of years. It is impossible to make these wastes non-radioactive, and so they must be
stored in one of the inconvenient ways that scientist have invited. For examples they may be buried under ground,
or dropped into abandoned mines, or sunk in the sea. However, these methods do not solve the problem, since an
earthquake could easily crack the containers open.

Finally, there is the problem of accidental exposure due to a leak or an explosion at the power station. As with the
other two hazards, this is not every likely, so it does not provide a serious objection to the nuclear program.
Nevertheless, it can happen.

Separately, these types of risks are not a great cause for concern. On the whole though, the probability of disaster
is still high.

There is no best way to ideal with pests in agriculture. Pesticides which are commonly used may cause many
problems. I think combining different management operation is the most effective way to controls pests.

developed.

Tigers are members of the cat family. Lions, leopards, cheetahs, and house cats are also members of the cat
family. Tigers are the largest cats, and the only cats with stripes. They live in large forests, in southern and
southeastern Asia.

A tiger’s short fur is usually colored dark orange with black stripes. Each tiger has different stripes, and you can
use them to tell tigers apart. The stripes make a tiger stand out if you see them in the open. In the forests where
tigers live, however, the stripes make them almost invisible.

Like house cats, tigers have soft pads on the bottoms of their paws. They allow tigers to move silently through the
forest. Tigers have long, sharp claws at the ends of their feet. They pull the claws in until they need them. When
needed, the claws pop out like knives. Their big, yellow eyes give tigers sharp sight to help find prey. Tigers see
as well as people during the day, and much better than people at night. They also hear very well. They can turn

Last April, John took a trip to Las Vegas, Nevada. Las Vegas is a popular destination in the western portion of the
United States. The town is most popular for its casinos, hotels, and exciting nightlife.

In downtown Las Vegas, John spent a lot of time on The Strip, which is a 2.5 mile stretch of shopping,
entertainment venues, luxury hotels, and fine dining experiences. This is probably the most commonly visited
tourist area in the city. The Strip at night looks especially beautiful. All of the buildings light up with bright, neon,
eye-catching signs to attract visitor attention.

A stay in Las Vegas can feel similar to a visit to many popular cities worldwide. Many of the hotels have
miniature versions of important international sites and monuments. These famous landmarks include the Eiffel
Tower, Venice, and even ancient Rome.

One day, John took a side trip outside of the city to visit the Grand Canyon, one of the Seven Wonders of the
Natural World. The canyon offers a breathtaking view of Nevada’s ridges and natural landscape. John especially
liked the canyon because it was removed from all of the noise and movement in downtown Las Vegas.

John had a great time during his trip to Las Vegas. He did not win a lot of money in the casinos. However, he
managed to see a lot of amazing sites during his visit to this city that never sleeps.
41. When did John travel to Las Vegas?
42. What is an activity that a tourist cannot do on The Strip?
43. Explain! why John liked his visit to the Grand Canyon?

The use of formalin and other dangerous preservatives in food has been serious problem for three reasons. Firstly,
formalin is not for human beings, but it is for biological specimens and experiments. Formalin in Biology is a
10% solution of formaldehyde in water which is usually used as a disinfectant or to preserve biological
specimens. Thus, it is not for food preservatives. For sure, when it is used for food preservative, it will be very
dangerous to human’s body.

The second reason is that there is no tight control from the government. This condition makes the people’s health
is really in a threat. When the control is weak and the use formalin was spread wide all over the Indonesian
regions, and these days it has really happened, the citizen’s bodies will be badly contaminated with the poisons.
Fish or food traders still sell their products which contain formalin and dangerous preservatives. Can you imagine
that our digestive system absorbs the substance that should be for the human and animal corpses?

Considering the reasons, we can make a conclusion that the use of formalin and other preservatives is really a
serious problem if it is not resolved immediately.
44. Why is formalin dangerous for human`s body?
45. Based on the facts above, what does the writer suggest?
