Dear Susan,

It feels like such a long time since the last time I saw you. I know it's only been several weeks since I saw you. So far my summer has been great!

I spend my all my weekends at the beach. I am getting a nice tan and you can no longer say I am paler than you. I have been playing lots of volleyball, surfing and building a nice collection of sea shells. Just this past week-end I took second place in a sandcastle building contest!

On the weekdays I work. I drive an ice cream truck around and sell ice cream to the kids. It is so cool. It is a combination of the two things I love most, ice cream and kids. The pay isn't too great but I love the job so much.

I hope the summer's been going well for you too. There's only a month and a half left in summer vacation and after that it's back to school. Would you like to meet up some time before school starts?

Your friend,
Signature
P.S. John Austin

The following text is for questions 15 to 18.

Antibiotic is a drug produced by certain microbes. Antibiotics destroy other microbes that damage human tissues. They are used to treat a wide variety of diseases, including gonorrhea, tonsillitis, and tuberculosis.

Antibiotics are sometimes called “Wonder drugs” because they can cure diseases such as meningitis, pneumonia, and scarlet fever. But, when the antibiotics are overused or misused, these drugs make a person sensitive being attacked by a superbug.

Antibiotics do not always distinguish between harmless and dangerous microbes. If a drug destroys too many harmless microorganism, the pathogenic ones (the dangerous microbes) will have a greater chance to multiply. This situation often leads to the development of a new infection called suprainfection.

Extensive use of some antibiotics may damage organs and tissues. For example, streptomycin, which is used to treat tuberculosis, has caused kidney damage and deafness.

Resistance to antibiotics may be ecquired by pathogenic microbes. The resistant microbes transfer genetic material to non-resistant microbes and cause them to become resistant. During antibiotic treatment, non-resistant microbes are destroyed, but resistant types survive and multiply.

To avoid the side effect of antibiotics, you’d better not urge your doctor to prescribe antibiotics. Keep in mind that antibiotics are only useful for bacterial infections and have no effect on viruses, so they cannot be used for chicken pox, measles, and other viral diseases.

15. Which diseases cannot be cured by antibiotics?

	C. Chicken pox
	A. Tonsillitis
	B. Meningitis
	D. Tuberculosis

16. What are discussed in paragraph two and four?

	C. Both paragraphs explain how antibiotics damage organs and tissues
	A. Both paragraphs describe how antibiotics work
	B. Both paragraphs tell about the effects of misusing antibiotics
	D. Paragraph two tells how antibiotics destroy harmless microbes and paragraph four describes how the pathogenic microbes transfer genetic material to non-resistant microbes

17. Choose one from the following which is not the effect of using antibiotics improperly?

Question 8 options:

	D. Pathogenic microbes become nonresistant
	A. Organs and tissues are damaged
	B. The pathogenic microbes multiply
	C. Harmless microorganisms are destroyed

18. “Antibiotics do not always distinguish between harmless and dangerous microbes.”(paragraph 2)
The underlined word means ....

Question 10 options:

	D. Differentiate
	A. Vary
	C. Correlate

USE AF FORMALIN AND OTHER ADDITIVES IN FOODS

The use of formalin and other dangerous preservatives in food has been a serious for two reasons. Firstly, formalin is not for human beings, but it is for biological specimen 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 preservative, it will be very dangerous to human’s body.

The second reason is that there is not 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 of formalin is spread wide all over the Indonesia regions, and these days it has really happened, the citizens’ bodies will be badly contaminated with the poisons. Fish or food traders still sell their product which contain formalin and dangerous preservatives. Can you imagine that our digestive system absorbs the substance the should be for the human and animal corpses?

Skateboarding
Anybody who is over the age of six knows that there is nowhere safe for skateboarders to skate. This prevents young people from enjoying an active, energetic and adventurous pastime.

Just watch a local street for a short while and note the steady stream of skaters speeding up and down the footpaths. Toddlers can be trampled on and old ladies can be knocked down as they struggle home carrying their cat food from supermarkets.

Skateboarding is a serious sport that improves young people’s health. It increases fitness, improves balance and strengthens the joints in knees and ankles. Although it appears to be a solo sport, when groups practice together and compete to perform stunts or runs they form firm friendships.

Young people should be prevented from becoming overweight couch potatoes. If they are actively involved in skating, they do not smoke, take drugs or break laws for fun.

Kids will always seek thrills and excitement. They need to practice their 180s, 360s and Ollie’s free from restrictions. We must build skate parks in the suburbs so that streets are safe for small children and senior citizens and skaters have spaces where they can race, chase, speed, and soar towards the sun. 

22. Where do the kids usually ride their skateboard?

	D. In the suburbs

Read the following text to answer questions number 26 to 30.

Should Americans be forced to Public Transportation?

First, let me define what the question is and isn’t asking. It isn’t asking if we should we all abandon cars right now, nor is it asking if we should abandon them completely, nor is it asking if every American should do so. It is asking weather some Americans should have to take public transit some of the time, and I would say yes.

Oil use and pollution aside, in some cities like Los Angeles and New York there just isn’t room for any more roads, so in order for large cities to grow, they need more people to take public transit or risk permanent traffic jam. One bus can safely hold 40 people so even at half capacity that’s nearly 20 cars’ worth of space in traffic cleared up, and nearly 20 parking spaces that  don’t need to built.

There are a lot of people that can take  with transit little inconvenience but simply don’t because they never have in the past. If residents in areas with plenty of transit had to buy transit passes as part of their property taxes then they would have little excuse not to bus occasionally. QA number of universities already bundle a ‘U-Pass’ with their tuition feeds, forcing their students to take the bus. When given the change the majority of those students have voted to keep these programs.

A similar system in apartments where a portion of the tenants are not issued parking spaces in exchange for a discount on their rent would also be community car to several apartment tenants that arrange a schedule for the car, and this program gets many positive reviews.

So yes, I would say that Americans should be forced to use public transit, as Americans whom are already forced to do so find that it works well for them. 

26. What does writer suggest?

Question 11 options:

	C. Americans should be forced to use public transportation
	D. The government should limit the number cars

	B. Banning the use of cars
	D. Fine people who do not use public transportation
	A. Make people buy transit passes as part of their property taxes

28. What is the purpose of the article?

Question 24 options:

	D. Suggesting that Americans should be forced to use public transportation
	A. Defining the functions of public transportation
	B. Arguing that Americans should not use public transportation
	C. Suggesting American the ways to use public transportation
