Sangkuriang
A long time ago, the ancient land of Sunda was ruled by a king and queen
who had but a single daughter. Her name was Dayang Sumbi. She was beautiful
and clever but also pampered and spolited.
One day as she was weaving in her pavilion, she became moody and
distracted, which caused her to keep dropping her shuttle on the floor. Once
when it fell she exclaimed she would marry the one who gave it back to her.
At that very moment her dog Tumang, a demigod possessing magic powers,
came up to her with the shuttle in his mouth. Dayang Sumbi had to marry him.
They lived happily together, and Dayang Sumbi gave birth to a baby boy,
human in appearance but endowed with his father’s magic powers. She named
him Sangkuriang. As the boy grew up, he was always guarded by the faithful
dog Tumang, whom he knew only as a companion and not as his father,
Sangkuriang became handsome and brave.
One day his mother asked him to go hunting with the dog and bring her
venison for a feast. After hunting all day without success, Sangkuriang worried
about facing his mother empty-handed. Desperate, he took an arrow and shot
the dog. He returned home and handed over the meat to his pleased mother.
Soon after the feast, however, Dayang Sumbi questioned her son about the
absence of Tumang. At first he evaded her queries but finally told her what had
happened. She was horrified and struck her son so hard on the temple that he
collapsed. For that, the old king banished his daughter from the court and she
was made to roam around the kingdom. Sangkuriang recovered with a large
scar on his temple, and he too left the court to wander about the world.
Years later, Sangkuriang met a beautiful woman and instantly fell in love
with her. It was his own mother-they did not recognize each other. He pro
posed to her and she agreed to marry him. On the day before the wedding, as
she was caressing her fiancee’s hair, Dayang Sumbi detected the scar on the
temple. Horror struck her, for she was about to marry her own son,
Sangkuriang. Without revealing the whole truth to him, she tried unsuccessfully
to dissuade him. Desperate to avoid the marriage, she set conditions she
thought impossible to meet. Sangkuriang had to make a lake that filled the
whole valpley and build a boat for the couple to sail in, all before dawn.
Sangkuriang started to work. His love gave him extraordinary strength,
and he used his magic powers to summon the spirits to help him. With boulders
and mud they dammed the river in the valley and the water rose and began to
form a lake. In the early morning hours he chopped down a huge tree in the
forest and began hollowing it out to make a boat. When Dayang Sumbi saw
that he was about to accomplish what she has thought impossible, she called
on the gods to bring the sun up early and thwart Sangkuriang.
The cock crowed, the sun rose much earlier than usual, and Sangkuriang
realized he had been deceived. In a fit of fury he caused Dayang Sumbi and
kicked the half-finished boat back into the forest. There it lies upside down
today, forming the mountain Tangkuban Perahu (Upturned Boat). Not far away
is the stump of the tree Sangkuriang had felled, now called Bukit Tinggi. The
dam Sangkuriang had built caused the valley to become a lake, where both
Sangkuriang and Dayang Sumbi drowned themselves. They were never heard

swamp, he left his wife sitting under a shady tree. He had not been gone very
long when Taipan the Snake passed by Blue-Tongue Lizard’s camp. Taipan saw

her away from Blue-Tongue Lizard. He made her come with him and together

wife and saw she was gone. He put down his bag which was full of food and
made a fire. He cooked his food and after he had finished eating it, he went to
get his spears.

of his wife and Taipan, and he followed them. Blue-Tongue Lizard followed their
tracks until he came to a tree in which a freshly killed emu had been hung. It
had been killed by Taipan and left there to be eaten that night. Blue-Tongue
Lizard knew that Taipan and his wife must be nearby and he soon found them
near a river. When Taipan saw Blue-Tongue Lizard he ran to get his spears but

and the two of them fought wildly, each of them trying to get a hold of the

Birds belong to a class of warm blooded vertebrate animals with feather
covered bodies. Next to the mammals, birds are the most important group of
land-living vertebrates. All birds have feathers, although in some types,
particularly those that can not fly, the normal structure of the feathers may be
much modified and be downy, woolly, or straw like. The forelimbs of birds are
modified into wings. The bony part of the tail, except in the very earliest fossil
birds, is very short, and the visible tail is composed of feathers only. The teeth
are absent except in some fossil forms. As in mammals-the only other group of

Half of all heart patients make medication errors
(Reuters Health) - Half of all heart patients made at least one medication-
related mistake after leaving the hospital, and guidance from a pharmacist
didn't seem to reduce those errors, in a new study.
Consequences of mistakes - such as forgetting to take certain drugs or
taking the wrong dose-can range from side effects like constipation to more
serious drops in blood pressure. Two percent of errors were life-threatening.
Hospitals involved in the study were already taking steps to prevent
medication mistakes in addition to the extra pharmacist intervention, said Dr.
Sunil Kripalani, the study's lead author from the Vanderbilt University Medical
Center in Nashville, Tennessee.
"We were surprised to see that in spite of these efforts that 50 percent (of
patients) were still having these medication errors," he told Reuters Health.
Although the pharmacist visits didn't help the average patient, he added,
certain ones seemed to benefit - such as patients who were on multiple drugs
or had trouble understanding health information. As for traditionally lower-risk
patients, he said other strategies to prevent errors may be needed.

An Internet campaign has come to the rescue of an 80-year-old man in the
USA who was reduced to selling firewood on the roadside to pay for his wife's
medical bills. Octogenarian Kenneth Smith spent hours a day selling kindling
for $5 a bag. He started last year and was then helped by his wife of over 30
years, Helen, who was dying of lung cancer. Tragically, she lost her battle in
October and Mr Smith was left with crippling hospital fees, which wiped out his
life savings. A local woman, Jessica Pittman, saw Mr Smith and posted a
Facebook message urging people to help him. Her post has been shared over
9,000 times and motorists have stopped their car to give Mr Smith some cash.
Ms Pittman's kind deed encouraged Mr Smith's son to go a step further and
set up an online appeal. He created a page at the website GoFundMe and
donations soon came flooding in from all corners of the Earth. The online
campaign raised $20,000 in three days. Ms Pittman told the BBC that she had
"no clue" her actions would prompt such generosity. She said: "Although it will
not lessen the heartache of losing his wife, I am thankful it will at least take a
little worry off of his plate and help him make ends meet." Mr Smith said he
has been "overwhelmed" with the response. He added that even though his
wife wasn't by his side, he still feels her presence, "because she's looking down
on me," he said.

Smoking in Restaurant
July 5, 2008
Smoking in restaurants is just not on. It must not be allowed because it is
rude, harmful to others and dangerous for the smokers.
Firstly, smoking in a restaurant is impolite. The smell of the smoke affects
all people and can turn them off their food. People pay to taste good food
and not to be put off by foul smelling smoke.
Another reason smoking should not be allowed in restaurant is the harm it
can do to others. Passive smoking that is breathing in smoke made by a
smoker can lead to asthma attacks and even cancer.
Finally, smoking is dangerous and a health risk to the smokers. Cigarettes
cause heart and lung disease and people should not smoke anywhere, not
just in restaurants.
Therefore, smoking in restaurants is impolite, harmful to others and a
health risk to the smokers and should not be allowed in any restaurants.

The following text is for questions 10 to 12
Learning English
Learning English through music and songs can be very enjoyable. You can
mix pleasure with learning when you listen to a song and exploit the song as
a means to your English progress. Some underlying reason can be drawn to
support the idea why we use songs in language learning.
Firstly, “the song stuck in my head” Phenomenon (the echoing in our
minds of the last song we heard after leaving a restaurant, shopping malls,
etc) can be both enjoyable and sometimes unnerving. This phenomenon also
seems to reinforce the idea that songs work on our short-and-long term
memory.
Secondly, songs in general also use simple conversational language, with
a lot of repetition, which is just what many learners look for sample text. The
fact that they are effective makes them many times more motivating than
other text. Although usually simple, some songs can be quite complex
syntactically, lexically and poetically, and can be analyzed in the same way as
any other literary sample.
Furthermore, song can be appropriated by listener for their own purpose.
Most pop songs and probably many other types don’t have precise people,
place or time reference.
In addition, songs are relaxing. They provide variety and fun, and
encourage harmony within oneself and within one group. Little wonder they
are important tools in sustaining culture, religion, patriotism and yeas, even
revolution.
ast but not least, there are many learning activities we can do with songs
such as studying grammar, practicing selective listening comprehension,
translating songs, learning vocabulary, spelling and culture.
From the elaboration above, it can be concluded that learning through music
and songs, learning English can be enjoyable and fun.
10. The type of the text above is …
a. Analytical exposition
b. Hortatory exposition
c. Narrative
d. Discussion
e. Explanation
11. What is the communicative purpose of the text?
a. To tell the reader about the songs
b. To entertain the reader with the songs
c. To show the reader the use of songs
d. To explain above the songs
e. To persuade the reader to use songs in learning language
12. The generic structures of the text are ….
a. Thesis – arguments – recommendation
b. General statement – sequential explanation
c. Newsworthy events – background events – sources
d. Thesis – arguments – reiteration
e. General statement – arguments
The following text is for questions 10 to 12
Integrated Pest Management
There is no best way to deal with pests in agriculture. Pesticides which are
commonly used may cause many problems. I think combining different
management operations is the most effective way to control pests.
Firstly, the chemicals in the pesticides may build up as residues in the
environment and in the soil which absorbs the chemicals. This reduces the
quality of farm product.
Secondly, pests can gradually become resistant to pesticides. This means
that newer and stronger ones have to be developed.
Lastly, some pesticides affect non target plants and animals such as fish and
bees. This affects the ecology and environment as well.
So, understanding of ecology of an area helps a lot in pest control. Pesticides
should be chosen and applied carefully so that they don't affect the ecological
balance and environment.
Therefore, integrated pest management is a safe and more effective option
to fight pest in agriculture and livestock.
13. Which of the following is not directly affected by pesticides used?
a. Plants
b. Ecology
c. Animals.
d. Environment.
e. Human Beings
14. What can you say about paragraph two and four?
a. The fourth paragraph supports the idea stated in paragraph two.
b. Both paragraphs tell about the disadvantages of using pesticides.
c. Both paragraphs tell about how pesticides affect the quality of farm
products.
d. The statement in paragraph is contrary to the statement in paragraph
four.
e. The second paragraph tells about the effects of using pesticides on
animals mentioned in paragraph four.
15. One of the disadvantages of using chemical pesticides is …
a. killing fish and bees.
b. increasing crops productivity.
c. creating balanced ecosystem.
d. causing the pests to become inactive
e. helping reduce pollutants in the environment.

5. Ki Hajar Dewantara
The development of good character should be the heart and soul of
education, and should dominate the spirit of teaching. This was the
philosophy of the “Father of Education” in Indonesia, Ki Hajar Dewantara.
The reason, he said,was that teaching and character building are like two
sides of a coin and cannot, and should not beseparated.
Education, by definition, means guiding student lives in a strong
foundation of good character, so that they would be civilized humans of
highest moral fibre, thus laying the foundation of a great nation without
distinction of religion, ethnicity, customs, economic and social status.
Ki Hajar Dewantara was born in the royal family of Yogyakarta on 2 May
1889. His given name was Raden Mas Suwardi Suryaningrat which he later
changed to renounce his connections with the royal family. He transformed
himself into an activist, columnist, politician and pioneer of education for
Indonesians. He fought for rights of Indonesians during Dutch and Japanese
colonial eras.
He was born into an aristocratic family that granted him the privilege of
free access to education of his choice. He got his primary education from
ELS (Europeesche Lagere School), then he continued his education at Stovia
(Java Medical School) but due to health reasons he couldn't finish it. He
started writing for newspapers and eventually all his writings were focused
on Indonesian patriotism, thus anti Dutch. He was involved in the early
activities of Budi Utomo and the Indiesche Party, which were both important
in the early development of the pergerakan, the “movement” that grew up
with a nascent Indonesian national political consciousness.
He was exiled between 1913 and 1919 following the publication of two
of his articles: “Als ik eens Nederlander” (If I was a Dutchman) and “Eén
voor allen en allen voor één” (One for all and all for one). He used his time
in exile to learn more about education and obtained a Europeesche
certificate.
Following his return, he focused more on cultural and educational efforts
paving way to develop educational concepts in Indonesia. He believed that
education is very important and the most important means of freeing
Indonesians from clutches of colonization. He played a leading role in
establishing “National Onderwijs Institut Taman Siswa” in 1922. This
institution was established to educate native Indonesians during colonial
times. This institution was based on these principles:
1. Ing Ngarsa Sung Tuladha (the one in front sets example).
2. Ing Madya Mangun Karsa (the one in the middle builds the spirit and
encouragement).
3. Tut Wuri Handayani (the one at the back gives support)
As Ki Hajar believed that character was not merely a theoretical concept,
but a practical and living concept, he embodied his vision in his school,
Taman Siswa. The central goals of Taman Siswa emphasized character
building, including traits such as patriotism and love for the nation, and a
sense of national identity. His vision was that Indonesians would be free
from colonial powers, to fight for independence and have good character.
He continued writing but his writings took a turn from politics to education.
These writings later laid foundation of Indonesian education. Froebel,
Montessori and Tagore influenced his educational principles and in Taman
Siswa he drew some inspiration from Tagore's Shantiniketan.
After independence, he was given the office of Minister of Education and
Culture. For his efforts in pioneering education for the masses, he was
officially declared Father of Indonesian Education and his birthday is
celebrated as National Education Day. His portrait was on 20,000 rupiah
note till 2002. He was officiallyn confirmed as a National Hero of Indonesia
by the 2 President of Indonesia on 28 November 1959.
Ki Hajar Dewantara passed away on 26th April 1952 at the age of 69
years.His wife donated all Ki Hajar's belongings to Dewantara Kirti Griya
Museum, Yogyakarta. He was a great man who spent his whole life serving
his people and country.

D. Example Questions
TEXT 1
Birth Most people agree that some form of family limitation or spacing is
desirable for the good of the family and society. But individuals and groups–
especially religious groups–differ sharply on the methods of birth control that
they consider moral and acceptable.
Couples that practice birth control do so for various reasons. They may
want to limit or space their children or to have no children at all. Young couples
often postpone having children so that both partners can work full-time. Other
couples space their children so they can give each child as much attention as
possible. Some women are advised by their doctors to avoid pregnancy for
health reasons. In many countries with rapidly growing populations, the
government encourages couples to limit the size of their families.
Even though birth control has gained in acceptance, opposition to the
practice is continuous. Some people fear that birth control encourages sexual
relations outside marriage or that government might impose birth control.
Some religious groups oppose birth control on moral grounds.
Some religious groups teach that artificial methods of birth control are
immoral because they separate the two purposes of intercourse in marriage–
conjugal love and the procreation of children. Although they oppose all artificial
birth control, they consider natural family planning acceptable.
1. What does the text discuss about?
a. Family planning.
b. The disagreement to birth control

a. To limit the family size.
b. To space the children birth.
c. To avoid high family budget.
d. To avoid a risk-health pregnancy.
e. To share much attention to the children.
TEXT 2
Some people agree with the rule because it indicates students’ mastery of
the whole material or the competence they have ntanaged to have over the
past three years. The result of the final exam is also significant for students’
future study in the higher level.
In addition, we are far left behind by our neighboring countries that have
implemented a higher graduation gracle standarcl. If the standard is omitted.
then student will get left behind even furlher by those students fiom
neighboring cottntries students.
However, some other people believe that imposing a high standard will not
be etfective. The results of the exams have proven to be unreliable. How can
you asses the students’ competence only in a couple of days. A smart student
for example, may get a low grade just because he is sick during the exam. On
the other hand, an idle student may achieve the standard due to luck. There
should then be an alternative way to the national exam.
Despite working on different points of view, the government’ this matter in
the hope of getting a better s relating party are intenselY solution upon
improving the Hish-School raduates’qualit.
4. What is the writer’s position in the controversy of graduation
standardizatton?

bring different responses.” (Paragraph 1)

TEXT 3
Some people claim that children do enough work in school already. They
also argue that children have hobbies that they want to do after school, such,
as sports or music. A further point they make is that a lot of homework is
pointless and doesn’t help the child learn at all.
However, there are also strong arguments against this point of view.
Parents and teachers argue that it is important to find out whether children can
work on their own without the support from the teacher.
They say that the evening is a good time for children to sit down and think
about what they have learned in school. Furthermore they claim that the school
day is too short to get anything done that needs doing and it makes sense to
send home tasks like independent reading or further writing tasks that don’t
need teacher’s support.
On balance, I think that some homework is a good idea but that it should
only given at the weekend when children have more time.
1. How do we compare the second and the fourth paragraph?
a. Both paragraphs argue that homework is necessary for students.
b. Unlike the fourth paragraph, the second paragraph argues that
homework is unnecessary.
c. The second paragraph supports that students need homework, but the
fourth paragraph does not.
d. The second paragraph and the fourth paragraph argue that students do
not need homework.
e. The second and the fourth paragraphs do not say anything about the
benefit of homework.
2. Those who are pro homework think that the students can … in the evening.
a. prepare for the next lesson.
b. review their lessons.
c. enjoy their pastime.
d. do their hobbies
e. test themselves
3. What is the writer’s suggestion about homework?
a. Homework is pointless.
b. Homework is badly needed.
c. Homework should be given at weekend.
d. Student should not be given homework.
e. tudent must frequently have homework.
TEXT 4
Many people say that examinations should be abolished because they are
not the best measure of student’s capabilities. These people believe that
students can study on their own and do better without the nagging worry and
pressure exerted by examinations.
Yet, there are persuasive reasons to show that examinations should not be
abolished. It is insufficient that teachers assign homework and correct it.
Because this is not done under supervision, they cannot be sure that it is really
the work of the students themselves. Moreover, homework is not a test of
student’s ability. Homework is a method of merely keeping him occupied.
Nowadays, in the hunt for jobs, students need to produce some evidence
of their capabilities. Prospective employers like to see copies of examination
results. This is the only way a student’s qualifications can be judged. This
attitude greatly encourages the use of examinations, since it is considered it
necessary for them to measure their capabilities.
1. Why do some people disagree to abolish the examination?
a. Exam result is the only proof of student’s capabilities.
b. Nobody trusts the students nowadays.
c. It is a regulation in the country.
d. It is a good measurement.
e. It is for the sake of efficiency.
2. What is the main idea of paragraph 2?
a. The examination still keeps going on.
b. The teachers’ roles supervise the students.
c. The homework is important for students.
d. The homework is usefulness for students.
e. The teachers are insufficient in school.
3. From the text above, we infer that….
a. the examination is still used for measuring students’ qualifications.
b. there are a lot of people agreing the examination as the quality
control.
c. the examination is not neccessary to use for measuring the students’
abilities.
d. the examination is used as means of measuring students’ abilities
anually before ending their education.
e. the government obliges educational practitioners conducting the
examination for increasing the quality.
TEXT 5
Many young people have difficulty deciding where they will live when the
time comes to leave home and make their own way in the world. Among the
more common alternatives are sharing a house or flat with other young people,
and finding full board and lodgings in someone else's home.
Renting a house with other young people offers the advantage of a high
degree of freedom and independence. On the down side, renting involves a
variety of responsibilities that may be more than you wish to take on. This
would mean you would be responsible for making large rental payments if one
or more of the people you are sharing with should move out of the house or
flat. It might also mean that you are held financially responsible if they damage
the dwelling.
Finding board and lodgings, on the other hand, has significant advantages.
Generally you have no responsibility for the cleaning or maintenance of the
dwelling or its gardens, other than to take reasonable care of your room.
However, living in board and lodging circumstances has its drawbacks too. You
have less freedom and flexibility in your lifestyle.
In the end, the decision each person makes will depend on their own
personal valuing of independence and of convenience, as well as their feeling
of readiness for taking on the considerable financial and other responsibilities
of house or flat rental.
1. The text mainly discusses about …
a. Sharing a house.
b. Cleaning a house.
c. Deciding where to live.
d. Renting a house.
e. Finding full board.
2. “Finding board and lodgings, on the other hand, has significant
advantages.”
The underlined word means …
a. Gained position.
b. Rooms rented to live.
c. Supply of materials.
d. Work of cutting down trees.
e. Ability to convince.
3. The writer’s purpose of writing the text is …
a. To present two points of view about deciding where to live.
b. To persuade readers to rent a house with other young people.
c. To describe how to decide to find a rented house.
d. To inform readers how to decide where to live.
e. To explain how to find board and lodgings.

Dear Sir,
I am writing to ask for an explanation. I bought a laptop computer a
week ago from your store and it perfomed well.
However, one week after non-stop usage, i encountered a problem
when i was trying to turn it on. I pressed the ‘ON’ button, but nothing
happened. The LCD monitor remains black and no signal of booting. I have
recharged it as recommended, but is doesn’t start. I’m so worried because
my work is there and i haven’t moved and saved the files onto another
storage device.
I hope you will look into this matter and find a solution. I expect a
replacement or refund immediately. Please contact me on 08123987654123
to keep me informed. Thank you.
Yours faithfully,

Dear
Egar,
I am very sorry for this late reply. I have just returned from my hometown.
I was on a holiday, but I did not really enjoy my stay there. Things were not
the same as they used to be.
When I was a child, I used to swim and go fishing with my brother and my
friends in the river near my house. I liked the river because the water was clear
and there were a lot of fish in it.
Now, the river is full of garbage and the water is turbid. The fish are gone
and the area around the river is dirty. There are no children swimming and
fishing in the river because the water is ominous. The chemical waste from the
factories makes it poisonous.
The condition of the river really makes me sad. What about your
hometown? Do you have the same problem with polluted river'? That's all. I
have to study for the coming semester exam. Please, write to me soon.
Yours,
Zaki
