ENGLISH LM-18
Once upon a time there lived as neighbors, a bear and a rabbit. The rabbit was a good
shot, and the bear, being very clumsy, could not use the arrow to good advantage. The bear
would call over the rabbit, and asked the rabbit to take his bow and arrows and came with the
bear to the other side of the hill. The rabbit, fearing to arouse the bear’s anger by refusing,
consented and went with the bear and shot enough buffaloes to satisfy the hungry family.
Indeed, he shot and killed so many that there was lots of meat left after the bear and his family
had loaded themselves, and packed all they could carry home. The bear was gluttonous and
did not want the rabbit to get any of the meat, so the poor rabbit could not even taste the blood
from the butchering, as the bear would throw earth on the blood and dry it up. Poor rabbit
would have to go home hungry after his hard day’s work.
The bear was the father of fi ve children. The youngest child was very kind to the rabbit. The
mother bear, knowing that her youngest child was a very hearty eater, always gave him an
extra large piece of meat, but the youngest child didn’t eat. He would take with him and pretend
to play ball with it, kicking it toward the rabbit’s house. When he got close to the door, he would
give the meat with such a great kick, that it would fly into the rabbit’s house, and in this way the
poor rabbit would get his meal unknown to the papa bear.
1 The poor rabbit didn’t get any of the meat because ________.
A they were already given to the butcher
B they were eaten by the youngest bear
C the bear carried all the meat home
D they were already dried up
E the bear ate all the meat

When we go shopping, we get a plastic bag to carry in the things we buy. When we go to
a friend’s or relative’s house and we want to give him/her something, we use a plastic bag to
carry the thing. In fact, plastic bags are really needed. However, they are dangerous for the
environment.
First, plastic bags need a long time to decompose. Plastic bags take up to 1,000 years
to decompose on land and 450 years in the water.
Second, people use up natural resources to make the plastic bags. The most common
plastic bags you see today are made of polyethylene. This material is made of crude oil and
natural gas.
Moreover, they harm wildlife and marine life. Plastic bags are now ubiquitous in our
environment and animals both on land and in water are being strangled, choked and killed by
them. Plastic bags are now the fifth most common debris item found on beaches.
Plastic bags are also dangerous for our health. Based on the results of the research by
Drugs and Food Control, colored plastic bags are very dangerous for health if we use them to
keep foods.
According to the Head of POM, Husniah Rubiana Thamrin Akib, this is because
colored plastic bags are recycled products and their previous history is not known. They may
have been used to carry in pesticide containers, hospital waste, heavy metals waste and so
forth. Meanwhile, the long-term consequences of the use of these plastic bags can lead to
various diseases such as cancer, kidney disorders and others.
Based on the facts, plastic bags should not be used anymore. There are some
alternatives.
1. Use paper. Paper is an option that seems viable and easy to do. Most paper bags are
made of recycled paper. The benefits are that paper bags can be reused and hold more than
plastic bags.
2. Switch to carrying re-usable canvases/mesh bags. While I understand that it’s
difficult to shop with kids and bring your own bags, I think that it’s a good start.
6 How many years do plastic bags take to decompose on land?
A About 100 years.
B About 450 years
C About 500 years.
D About 1000 years.
E About 1500 years

Spending Holiday with a New Car
For each of the past eight years, Perdana and Kadita have spent their vacation time
at home, either working in the garden or fixing up the house. This year, however, they are
planning to spend their end-of-the-year vacation somewhere else. They’ve checked the Internet
for weather information about areas of the country they might like to visit. They are really eager
to travel somewhere soon. In fact, if they had free time right now, they would take their vacation
immediately, but they can’t leave right now. They still have a couple of months to explore their
options.
So far, they have searched much information, but most of it does not satisfy them
since they want to go to country sides. If they wanted to spend their time near the water, they
would have a hard time choosing among dozens of outstanding beach resorts. For example if
they went to the beach in Bali, they would not like the weather in that month – it will be raining
most of the time. That’s very disappointing to them. On the other hand, if they chose to visit
Singapore Beach in December, both the air and the water temperatures would be considerably
cold, around 20 degrees. That sounds frustrating to them, too. Perdana and Kadita also like to
go camping, so vacationing in the mountains is another option. They could choose to visit
Ciperna in Cirebon if they wanted warmer weather. In December, the temperature in Cirebon
 can range from a high of 45 degree to a low of 35 degrees. If they went to Cirebon, they would
certainly have to encounter the risk of landslide.
It is without a doubt a tough decision that Perdana and Kadita are facing. They wish
they were able to go to all of the places they have researched. If they had more money and
more time, they would be able to do exactly that. In fact, they would go to both the country side
and the beaches this year if they had enough money. Unfortunately they have spent it to buy a
new car !
21 What is the passage about ?
A Planning an upcoming vacation
B Enjoying a great vacation
C Regretting a previous vacation

TWO FAMOUS EXPLORERS
Throughout history, we have benefited from the courageous explorers whose daring
adventures opened new frontiers to us. Whether they set out to sail the seas, cross unexplored
lands, or take to the skies in flight, they changed our perception of the world.
Vasco da Gama is one such explorers. He was the first European to sail from Europe
(Portugal) around Africa to India and back. In 1497, with four ships, he made the trip to India in
23 days. The return trip, however, took almost four and a half months because of the monsoon
winds. If he listened to the advice of the local people and waited, he wouldn’t lose more than
half of his crew. He returned with only two of the four ships. If he had waited a while before
returning to Portugal, maybe all four ships would have returned with him. Da Gama was a true
adventurer, and his discovery brought the spice trade to Portugal. Charles Lindberg was an
explorer of the skies who made the first solo flight across the Atlantic Ocean. As a young man,
Linberg’s interest was in aviation. He dropped out of college to travel around the country
performing airplane stunts for audiences at county fairs. In 1924, he joined the Army and
received pilot training. Later, he was hired to fly mail between St. Louis and Chicago. If
Lindbergh had stayed in school and studied engineering, he probably would never have
become a pilot. In 1927, Lindbergh set a goal to be the first person to fly non-stop from New
York to Paris and win a $25,000 prize for doing so. On May 20, 1927, Lindbergh took off in his
plane, the Spirit of St. Louis, and flew almost 4,000 miles across the Atlantic in 33,5 hours.
After this historic feat, Lindbergh continued to promote aviation and even wrote a book about
his transatlantic flight. If Lindberg had not travelled around the country on a postflight tour,
people wouldn’t have considered aviation as a mean of travel.

26 What benefits did the early courageous explorers contribute to us ?

A They opened new frontiers and changed our perception of the world.
B They dared adventures
C They set out to sail the seas.
D They crossed unexplored lands
E They took to the skies in flight.
TWO FAMOUS EXPLORERS
Throughout history, we have benefited from the courageous explorers whose daring
adventures opened new frontiers to us. Whether they set out to sail the seas, cross unexplored
lands, or take to the skies in flight, they changed our perception of the world.
Vasco da Gama is one such explorers. He was the first European to sail from Europe
(Portugal) around Africa to India and back. In 1497, with four ships, he made the trip to India in
 23 days. The return trip, however, took almost four and a half months because of the monsoon
winds. If he listened to the advice of the local people and waited, he wouldn’t lose more than
half of his crew. He returned with only two of the four ships. If he had waited a while before
returning to Portugal, maybe all four ships would have returned with him. Da Gama was a true
adventurer, and his discovery brought the spice trade to Portugal. Charles Lindberg was an
explorer of the skies who made the first solo flight across the Atlantic Ocean. As a young man,
Linberg’s interest was in aviation. He dropped out of college to travel around the country
performing airplane stunts for audiences at county fairs. In 1924, he joined the Army and
received pilot training. Later, he was hired to fly mail between St. Louis and Chicago. If
Lindbergh had stayed in school and studied engineering, he probably would never have
become a pilot. In 1927, Lindbergh set a goal to be the first person to fly non-stop from New
York to Paris and win a $25,000 prize for doing so. On May 20, 1927, Lindbergh took off in his
