Text 2 (Questions 2-5):
HAIR MYTHS DEBUNKED
Separating
truth from follicular fiction.
Myth:Shiny hair is healthy hair.
Truth: Haircare
manufacturers keep this widely held belief alive. But, except in rare cases,
the hair that grows out of your head is healthy even if it’s not as shiny as
you’d like. There’s no shine test to determine the overall health of the hair.
Straight hair is shinier than curly hair.
Myth:
Daily washing damages hair.
Truth: If you
use a mild shampoo, it’s OK to wash hair daily. Opt for opaque, creamy shampoos
over clear formulations.
Myth:
Brush your hair up to 100 times a day to make it shine.
Truth: According
to the old wives’ tale, you need to brush to disperse the natural oils in your
hair. We now know that this happens whether you brush or not. The danger of
this old-fashioned tip is that over vigorous treatment can tear hair shafts and
damage roots.
Myth:
Daily blow-drying thins hair.
Truth: Trichologists
say that daily blow-drying can dehydrate hair and make it frizzy if you don’t
use a heat protection styling product. Thinning hair, though, is mainly caused
by hormones, age and heredity.
Myth: Vitamin supplements will make hair grow
faster.
Truth: Vitamins B6 and B12 are necessary for healthy hair.
Most people get enough of these by eating a balanced diet or taking a daily
multivitamin. Taking mega amounts won’t make hair any healthier than it is
naturally. Supplements that claim to increase hair growth and strength don’t do
much either, say dermatologists.
2.
The
following are among myths about hair care EXCEPT ….
A.
It is not
recommended to wash your hair too often
B.
It is
claimed that the more you comb your hair the better
C.
It is
relatively harmful to dry hair using an electrical appliance
D.
Ample
vitamins do not do any good to the growth of your hair
3.
How
does brushing really do to your hair?
A.
Too much
brushing may damage hair roots
B.
Much
brushing is beneficial to the hair growth
C.
Brushing
is unnecessary to remove oils in the hair
D.
Brushing
is not very effective to shining hair
4.
The word DEBUNKED
most nearly means ….
A. shown to be
less true than reality
B.
described
that it is related to reality
C.
clearly
assumed to be similar to reality
D.
obviously
believed to be true to reality
5.
The
facts about hair care include the following EXCEPT ….
A.
health hair
in fact is not always shiny
B.
hormones
and age cause hair thinning
C.
creamy
shampoo is better than clear one

supplements stimulate hair growth
Text 3 (Questions 6-7):
HEALING POWERS OF
CHOCOLATE
Dark chocolate contains
large amounts of disease-fighting flavonoids, anti-oxidants also found in red
wine and lots of different fruit and vegetables. In fact, it appears to have
more flavonoids than any other food. Studies find its anti-oxidants can
significantly improve blood pressure, prevent blood clots, slow the oxidation
of LDL cholesterol (making it less likely to stick to artery walls) and reduce
inflammation. Some research suggests that eating a few squares a day can cut heart
attack risk by 10 per cent. Eating dark chocolate can also lower insulin
resistance, the main problem behind diabetes.
6.
Besides
in chocolate, flavonoids could be found
in ….
A.
red wine
and vegetables
B. fresh fruit and vegetables
C.
wine,
fruit and vegetables

A.
eating much chocolate
will very often be harmful
B.
dark chocolate generally improves human health
C.
there are less
anti-oxidants in dark chocolate
D.
flavonoids are only
effective for blood pressure

Text 5 (Questions 11-13):
Are you allergic to your phone?
Nickle can trigger an eczema-like rash.
Some mobile phone contain nickel, a metal that can
cause allergic dermatitis – an itchy rash – on one side of the face and in the
ear in 10 – 20% of the population.
“Women
are more likely than men to have the allergy, probably because they were
sensitized when they had their earspierced, which can introduce nickel
into the bloodstream,” says Luz Fonacie, head of the allergy section at
Winthrop-University Hospital in New York.
A
study of popular models of mobile phones found that most flip-phones and
approximately a third of the BlackBerry devices tested contained nickel. In
some of these, the plastic had worn off the keypads. The iPhone and Motorola
models tested contained no nickel at all.
If
you suspect you’re allergic to your phone, you can protect your skin by setting
your phone to speakerphone, using an earpiece, or putting a phone cover and
clear screen on your device.

Text 7
(Question 16-18).
Michael Jordan has played for the Chicago Bulls for years, and
everyone cheers for him. Fans have filled the seats at the United Center ever
since he led the team to six NBA championships, and many have watched each of
his games on TV. Therefore, it is no wonder that he has attracted such
admiration and fame. Jordan possesses all the qualities of an athletic
superstar: extraordinary attractiveness, incredible physical talent, and
exemplary character.
First of all, Jordan is a fine physical specimen of a man. He
is not only handsome, but he has a magnificent body on his
six-and-one-half-foot frame. He always shaves his hair, which seems to symbolize
his commitment to the game. With his broad and rippling muscle, he looks strong
and formidable in his number 23 jersey.
Second, Jordan is a talented athlete who has developed a game
of speed, agility, and intelligence. He quickly dodges the opposing team’s
defense and makes spectacular shots, sometimes as he falls away from the
basket, other times when he drives toward it. As a result, he always scores a
lot of points, which makes him the top scorer on the Bulls and also within the
rest of the NBA. Most amazing of all are his “Air Jordan” moves, which rely on
agility and leaping ability. He jumps up in the air and can stay there for a
long time before coming down. He is also smart, and as the team captain he
tries to keep his teammates as disciplined as he is on the court. Without
Michael Jordan, the Chicago Bulls would not be where they are today.
16.
One of Jordan’s most spectacular abilities is
his ....
A.
quick action
B. jumping
movement
C. shooting
skill
D. ball
dribbling
17.
He was appointed captain due to several
reasons, one of which is ....
A. his
being a model character
B. his
being a top scorer
C. his
speedy movement
D. his
discipline on the court

Jordan is ....
A. a basket
ball legend
B. a very
disciplined athlete
C. his club’s
most reliable player
D. NBA’s
most feared player
Text 8 (Questions 19-20):
Probably no other battle in
U.S. history has created more controversy than the Battle of Little Bighorn
River. On June 25, 1876, General George Armstrong Custer made his famous last
stand against members of the Great Sioux Nation. After dividing the 700 troops
of the Seventh Cavalry into three groups that would surround and attack a
Native American village, he took command of one group and rushed them into the
battle alone. As a result, 3,000 Sioux, led by their chief, Sitting Bull,
killed Custer and every one of his 250 men. No one will ever know why Custer
ordered his men into such a one-sided fight in which they had no chance for
survival. No one will ever know why he did not retreat once the battle had
begun. No one will know the answers because no one from Custer’s side lived to
tell the story. However, some information about the battle suggests four
reasons, one of which is the following.
Custer ignored the orders of his commanding officer. He was
supposed to bring his troops to the valley of the Little Byghorn River and wait
there until another army division could join him. But Custer decided to attack
alone. He rode his troops all night and well past dawn, and his men and horses
were exhausted when they entered the valley.
19.
From the text, we are informed
that Custer’s soldiers were ....
A. more
than enough to fight against the Sioux
B. not
enough in number to face the Sioux
C. very
brave and trained soldiers
D.
ignorant of
the enemy’s strength
20.
The most possible reason for
Custer’s defeat was caused by .....
A. Overestimation = menaksir terlalu tinggi
B.
Negligence = kelalaian
C.
Ignorance = ketidakpedulian
D.
Tiredness = kelelahan
Text 9 (Questions 21-24):
RAJA
AMPAT ISLANDS
For those of you in

Raja Ampat is most certainly your ideal destination. Comprising over 1500
limestone isles to explore, Raja Ampat, which means “Four Kings” in local
language, is exceptionally rich of coastal wonders. These smaller islands
surround the four main islands of Salwati, Batanta, Misool, Waigeo, and the
Kofiau. Located off the northwest of Bird’s Head Peninsula, and strategically
positioned between the Indian and Pacific Oceans, most of now sea-covered
region of Raja Ampat used to be land, which then submerged at the end of last
Ice Age. Raja Ampat is accessible by taking a fastboat from Sorong fishery
port, escorting you to Wasai, capital city of Raja Ampat, before taking another
fast boat or speedboat rides to the smaller islands.
Renowned
for its marine biodiversity, as one of the most extensive on the planet, the
archipelago is home to more than a thousand types of fish, hundreds of types of
coral also mollusks. Therefore, it would be apt to hire a marine biologist as

parrotfish, surgeonfish, to clownfish, wobbegongs, mantis shrimps, pygmy

Text 10 (Questions 25-30):
Sangduen Chailert has
elephants on her mind. She works tirelessly to keep the elephant population in
Thailand from dwindling to drastic levels. “Thai elephants are
under serious threat. Unless they are promptly and appropriately protected,
they might only exist in books and photos in the near future,” says Sangduen.
Sangduen
was born into a remote mountain community in Northern Thailand 47 years ago.
Her love of the pachyderm began when she was very young. She was just a
teenager when she first saw elephants being used for commercial logging along
the Thai-Burmese border. The experience changed her life.
In
1996, Sangduen, together with her family, founded the Elephant Nature Park in
Chiang Mai. Today, the park is supported by Sangduen’s family tour
business which runs educational and environmental trips as well as a travel
website. The main objective of the park is to provide a sanctuary for elephants
to live peacefully in their natural environment. Thirty rescued elephants of
all ages are currently under the park’s care. The disabled, orphan or blind
elephants are mostly rescued from private owners, and fees are negotiated to
enable them to join the park’s herd.
Sangduen’s
latest project is to remove elephants from urban cities and bring them back to
the natural environment. At present, thousands of elephants wander around big
cities like Bangkok with mahouts (elephant caretaker) seeking donations from
tourists or the public.
Sangduen
also plans to open an elephant centre in Surin, Thailand’s northeastern
province considered to be the primary home of indigenous elephants. The new
sanctuary will serve as another alternative for mahouts to bring their
elephants back home to nature.
“The Reader’s Digest recognition is a great honor
for me. It shows that society cares about the survival of the elephants,” she
adds.
25.
According to Sangduen, the population
of elephants in Thailand ….
A. will
grow up to achieve its dramatic number
B. will
extinct in a relatively short period of time
C. has
been protected against natural disaster
D. is
inadequate for commercial logging
26.
The word dwindling in the first paragraph most nearly means ….
A. becoming
fewer in number
B. changing
the size very rapidly
C. moving
from urban areas to sanctuaries
D. turning
extinct in a short period of time
27.
Sangduen intends to set up a new
sanctuary for indigenous elephants in ….
A. Northeastern
Thailand
B. Northern
Thailand
C. Chiang
Mai
D. Surin
28.

A. tourist
guide

person

in founding the Elephant Nature Park EXCEPT ….
A. To
educate visitors who come to the site
B. To
provide a home for indigenous elephants
