 (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.

 

33.  What is the effect of medication errors?

a.       Bleeding on heart

b.      Health information

c.       Life—long time

d.      Life –threatening

e.       Be beautiful

34.  “… and guidance from a pharmacist didn’t seem to reduce those errors ….” The “reduce” word is closest in meaning to ….

Advertisements

There are many reasons for both sides of the question, "Should we have printed advertisement'?" Many people have strong views and feel that ads are nothing more than useless junk mail, while other people feel it is important source information.

 

There are some reasons why we should have advertisement in newspaper and magazines. One reason is ads give us information about what is available. Looking at ads we can find out what is on sale and what is new in the market. This is an easy way of shopping. Another reason is that advertisement promotes business. When shop owners compete against each other the buyer saves money, more people come to their shops and they sell more goods.

 

On the other hand, some people argue that ads should not be put in newspapers and magazines for these various reasons. Firstly, ads cost the shopkeepers a lot of money to print onto paper. Also some people don't like finding junk mail in their letter boxes. Ads also influence people to buy items they don't need and can't really afford. Ads use up a lot of space and a lot of effort has to be made the ads eye-catching.

 

After looking at both sides of issue, I think we should not have advertisements because they cost a lot of money and take up a lot of room in the papers. I don't think I find some of them interesting. I mainly disagree because it's junk mail.

 

 

35.  Why does the writer present two sides of opinions of advertisements?

a.       She/he wants to take side

b.      She/he wants to be in the affirmative side

c.       She/he uses the opinions to emphasize her own stance

d.      She/he wants the readers know the opinion about the issue

e.       She/he wants the readers to understand her stance

36.  The writer influences the readers by repeatedly saying that ....

a.       The ads are only garbage

b.      The ads contain unimportant business information

c.       The ads promote unnecessary service products

d.      The ads inform us tips of easy shopping

e.       The ads become the source of information

37.  "Ads use up a lot of space and a lot of effort has to be made the ads eye-catching. The underlined word is closest in meaning to ....

a.       Newsworthy

b.      Subtle

c.       Plain

d.      Impressive

e.       Delicate

38.  What is the generic structure of the text?

a.       Arguments-Recommendation-Thesis

b.      Recommendation-Issue-Arguments-Thesis

c.       Issue-Supporting Points-Contrasting Points-Conclusion

d.      Thesis-Supporting Points-Contrasting Points-Reiteration

e.       Reiteration-Arguments-Thesis

Read the following text for questions 42 to 45!

A blonde and a lawyer were seated next to each other on a flight from LA to NY. The lawyer asked if she would like to play a fun game. The blonde, tired, just wanted to take a nap, politely declined and rolled over to the window to catch a few winks.

The lawyer persisted and explained that the game was easy and a lot of fun. He explained, "I ask you a question, and if you don't know the answer, you pay me $5.00, and vice versa."

Again, she declined and tried to get some sleep. The lawyer agitated and said, "Okay, if you don't know the answer you pay me $5.00, and if I don't know the answer, I will pay you $500.00.”

This caught the blonde's attention and, figuring there would be no end to this torment unless she played, agreed to the game. The lawyer asked the first question. "What's the distance from the earth to the moon?" The blonde did not say a word, reached into her purse, pulled out a $5.00 bill and handed it to the lawyer.

"Okay" said the lawyer, "your turn now." The blonde said to the lawyer, "What goes up a hill with three legs and comes down with four legs?" The lawyer, puzzled, took out his laptop computer and searched all his references, no answer. He tapped into the air phone with his modem and searched the net and the library of congress, no answer. Frustrated, he sent e-mails to all his friends and coworkers, to no avail. After an hour, he woke the blonde, and handed her $500.00.

The blonde said, "Thank you", and turned back to get some more sleep. The lawyer, who was more than a little miffed, woke the blonde and asked, "Well, what's the answer?" Without a word, the blonde reached into her purse, handed the lawyer $5.00, and went back to sleep.

“All right, all clear!” shouted James as he landed safely. Then, without any warning, the flashlight suddenly went out. James was standing gingerly at the bottom of the deep pit, plunged in total darkness with no light. Suddenly, he heard a hissing sound next to him. He was rooted to the spot, frozen in fear.

‘Laskar Pelangi’: The Audacity of Hope

This is a movie adapted from a best-selling Indonesian novel. It took 40 days of filming on Belitung Island, Bangka-Belitung province. Involving 12 local actors, it reportedly cost Rp8 billion. With all the efforts of transforming Laskar Pelangi (Rainbow Warrior) into a moving picture, will it satisfy readers’ imaginations?

 

Laskar Pelangi, the novel, was written by Andrea Hirata in 2005, based on his own experiences. It is about an inspiring teacher and her 10 students in the poverty-stricken Kampung Gantong in Belitung. The poor condition of their school building does not dampen their high spirits and hopes for a better future.

 

Two years later, the novel became a phenomenon in Indonesia literature. With its humanistic touch, Laskar Pelangi has sold more than 500,000 copies and has won the position of Must-Read Novel in every corner of the nation’s bookshops and media review pages. It has finally overcome the domination of teen-lit, chick-lit and even religious novels, the popular theme of today.

 

Andrea entrusted the fi lming of the story to the respected figures in the film industry, Mira Lesmana and Riza, as producer and film director. In July 2007, Mira and Riri started the per-production, which took a year to finish. Together with the scriptwriter Salman Aristo they decided to create a different scenario for the film.

 

 

75.  From the text above, we know that ....

c.       The novel of Laskar Pelangi as a phenomenal work of literature

Answer the questions 76-78 based on this text

 

It was the dawn of science and technology. Anything seemed possible even the creation of life itself. Victor Frankenstein becomes obsessed with this idea and works relentlessly to prove his theories; but the glory he imagined becomes a living nightmare - not only for him, but for his friends and family too.

 

Mary Shelley’s gothic horror story-frankenstein - was first published in 1818 and has been the inspiration behind numerous stage productions and films - many of which strayed a long way away from her original masterpiece. Classical comic presenting a full-colored graphic remains true to this classic tale, bringing the original story to life which has never been created before.

 

This graphic novel is available in two versions: Original Text and Quick Text editions. The Original Text stays faithful to Shelley's original text, while the Quick Text brings the story up to date by presenting the text into a more simplified style so that the tale is accessible to all readers.

 

The quick Text edition will allow you to soak up a general feeling for characters and locations, while the Original Text version will  help you easily slip into the language in which the novel was written.

 

Even if you're not studying the original, this graphic novel is worth buying. It's a great story, and should be one that everyone has the chance to read. Now, thanks to this release, even those who don't particularly like to read too much are given the chance to find this tale and hopefully it may encourage them to search out the original book too.

 

As with the previous classical comics, the presentation is first class. The best grade glossy paper really helps to set this graphic novel head and shoulders above the usual comic book releases on the market. Not only, that you also get a pretty comprehensive biography of Shelley; Mary Shelley's family Tree; a feature that explains what life was like in the year of the book's release; and a brief. Look on how Frankenstein has been adapted to many different formats over the years.

 

 

 

 

76.  The text is about

a.       The quick text and original text of Frankenstein story

b.      The simplify ed text of the updated horror story

c.       The horror story written by Frankenstein

d.      The original text of the author’s novel

e.       The updated of classical horror story 

 

77.  The simple way to understand the story is to read ....

a.       The original text

b.      Classic comics

c.       The quick text

d.      The original book

e.       The author’s biography

This text is for questions 79 and 80

A natural disaster is a terrible accident, e.g. a great flood, a big fire or an earthquake. It usually causes great suffering and loss of a large sum of money. The causalities are injured or died. Some people are homeless and need medical care.

Floods occur when the water of rivers, lakes, or streams overflow their banks and pour out into the surrounding land. Floods are caused by many different things. Often heavy rainstorms that last for a brief time can cause a flood. But not all heavy storms are followed by flooding. If the surrounding land is flat and can absorb the water, no flooding will occur. If, however, the land is hard and rocky, heavy rain cannot be absorbed. Where the banks are low, a river may overflow and flood adjacent lowland.

In many parts of the world floods are caused by tropical storms called hurricanes or typhoons. They bring destructive winds of high speed, torrents of rain, and flooding. When a flood occurs, the destruction to the surrounding land can be severe. Whole villages and towns are sometimes swept away by water pouring swiftly over the land. Railroad tracks and buckles are uprooted from their beds. Highways are washed away.

When a building caught fire, the firemen pitched in to help battle the blaze. Before the pumps were invented, people formed bucket brigades to fight fires. Standing side by side, they formed a human chain from the fire to nearby well or river. They passed buckets of water from hand to hand to be poured on the flames.

The damage of fire did depend a great deal on where it happened. In the country or a small village, only a single house might burn down. But in crowded cities, fire often destroyed whole blocks and neighborhoods before being controlled.

79.  What can posTTsible prevent rivers and lakes from overflowing?

  1. An absorbent bed
  2. A low land
  3. A rocky surrounding
  4. A high road
  5. A high bank

 

80.  We know from the text that ….

  1. River can sweep heavy flood
  2. People can make money from flood
  3. The destruction by flood is always less severe
  4. Typhoons caused heavy flood
  5. Water flood is absorbed by land directly

Tsunami

Tsunami occurs when major fault under the ocean floor suddenly slips. The displaced rock pushes water above it like a giant paddle, producing powerful water waves at the ocean surface. The ocean waves spread out from the vicinity of the earthquake source and move across the ocean until they reach the coastline, where their height increases as they reach the continental shelf, the part of the earth crust that slopes, or rises, from the ocean floor up to the land.

A tsunami washes ashore with often disastrous effects such as severe flooding, loss of lives due to drowning and damage to property.

A tsunami is a very large sea wave that is generated by a disturbance along the ocean floor. This disturbance can be an earthquake, a landslide, or a volcanic eruption. A tsunami is undetectable far out in the ocean, but once it reaches shallow water, this fast traveling wave grows very large.

81.  Tsunami happens because ….

  1. the displaced rock pushes water above it
  2. A major fault under the ocean floor slips suddenly
  3. The ocean waves spread out from the vicinity of the source
  4. The waves moves across the ocean until they reach the beach
  5. A tsunami is undetectable far out in the ocean

 

82.  “... producing powerful water waves at the ocean surface.” The synonym of the underlined word is…

  1. Strong
  2. Deep
  3. Quick
  4. Fast
  5. Weak

A long time ago, very few people lived in the New Territories.  There were only a few villages.  If the people wanted to go from one village to another, they often had to pass through wild and unsafe forest.

 

One day, a farmer’s young wife went to the next village to visit her own mother and brother.  She brought along her baby son.  When it was time for her to leave, her brother said “ it is getting dark.  Let my son, Ah Tim go with you though the forest.”

So Ah Tim led the way and the young woman followed behind, carrying her baby.  When they were in the forest, suddenly they saw a group of wolves.  They began to run to avoid the danger, but Ah Tim kicked against a stone and fell down.  At once the wolves caught him. 

 

The young woman cried to the wolves, “ please eat my own son instead.” Then, she put her baby son on the ground in front of the wolves and took her nephew away.  Everyone understood that this was because the woman was very good and kind.  She had offered her own son’s life to save her nephew.

 

They ran back to the house and called for help.  All men in the village fetched thick sticks and went back with her into the forest.  When they got there, they saw something very strange.  Instead of eating the woman’s baby the wolves were playing with him.
