Cameroon is a West African country of ten million people which has been very successful in growing food for its people, unlike many other West African countries. Since 1971 it has doubled its output of major foodstuffs such as maize and potatoes. Now it is one of the few African countries able to feed itself. This was not the case five years ago when the country was only 75-80% self-sufficient in food. Although isolated pockets of hunger still remain, the World Bank nowadays gives Cameroon money to sustain, not to achieve, self-sufficiency in food production.

Continued progress in advanced technology is not necessary. Already the technical progress in our world has caused severe pollution in the air and in the water. Although the technical progress in previous years has been helpful, recent technology has significantly increased pollution. Another reason to stop technical progress is that many inventions which were developed for good causes are now also used for powerful weapons or have been found to have serious side effects. For example, pesticide put inside particle board to prevent termites has now been found to be toxic to human life. Technology does not always bring good effects; for example, computers do much work faster than man, but then man loses is job to a machine. Because no man can guarantee that technology will have only good effects and will be used only for the benefit of man, we should delay the continued development of technology.

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 casualties 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 onto the surrounding land. Floods are caused by many different things. Often heavy rainstorms that last for a brief 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.

In many part of the world flood 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 surrounding land can be severe. Whole villages and towns are sometimes swept away by water pouring swiftly over the land.

Every country has people who are too poor to live a decent, comfortable life. They do not have enough to eat. They live in shack that they have built for themselves out of scraps of wood and metal-sometimes even out cardboard packing-cases. Often they have no proper water supply or drains. When they are ill, they cannot afford to go to the doctor. When they are cold, they have to look for fuel to light a fire.
On the hillsides in Brazil, the shacks of the poor are piled on top of one another like old cars in a scrap-yards. And scrap-yards are often what shanty towns are like places for people who have nowhere else to go.
Thousand of Brazilians leave the countryside each year and travel to the cities to seek a better life. When they arrive, they find that things are no better than in the country. There are few jobs to be had. The only way to find a place to sleep-other than on the streets as many have to do-is to move in with friends or build a shack of their own.

This text is for question 30 to 34
Governor Sutiyoso has launched his mass rapid transportation plan. This includes monorail, subway, water transportation, and Busway. Among the public transportation plan, Busway has been put into effect. The air conditioned bus fleet with their special roads have been operated since last year. Now more routes are being constructed to cover the five mayoralties. In fact, the existence of Busway makes pros and cons.
Some people consider Busway can solve a traffic problem faced by the metropolitan city. Every day millions of people commute from their houses to their respective work places. This badly needs adequate public transportation. If fifty persons go to their officer by cars, they need fifty cars roaming on the street. This number of cars can be replaced by only one Busway. Consequently, with reduced vehicles the streets are less congested. Therefore, I can decline traffic jams. Apart from reducing traffic jams, Busway eases Jakarta inhabitants to go to their workplace or other destination. For this reason more access on Busway is being accomplished. Other Busway roads. Have been constructed, such as, Kota-Kalideres, and Kota-Polugadung. This definitely make easies for people who go for rcreation to the zoo.
Besides reducing traffic jam and comforting passengers, Busway can minimize air pollution. As stated, Busway can replace other vehicles in a great number. It apparently declines the danger of pollution. Less vehicles means less carbon monoxide coming out from the exhausted fumes. As a result, the residents of Jakarta are less threatened with sickness caused by air pollution. And it Busway administration can manage the public transport well, Busway can create a new icon of Jakarta.
Those who resist the existence of Busway argue that instead of solving a problem, Busway create a new problem. Busway even makes traffic worse. The Busway line makes the roads narrower. Narrow roads cause passing vehicles to get stuck especially during rush hours. Furthermore, Busway adds up corruption that has become a vicious circle in this country. As reported in a newspaper the purchase of Busway fleet is under corruption suspect. Billions of expense, Busway fare is also much expensive than an ordinary bus. It costs Rp. 3.500 for once ride, while the common bus only costs Rp. 2.000. With the difference in the bus fare, it is likely that passengers prefer to ride ordinary buses.
Apparently, Busway still creates different outlooks among the residents of Jakarta. In spite of all the critics, the governor of Jakarta firmly continues to extend its route.
30. What does the text discuss?
a. The benefit of Busway.
b. The existence of Busway.
c. The weakness of Busway.
d. People who oppose Busway.
e. People who support Busway.

a. Busway is comfortable.
b. Taking a public transport is easy.
c. Mllions of people drive their cars.
d. More Busway roads are being constructed.
e. Busway benefit the city’s residents.
32. What is the argument of people who are against Busway?
a. Busway fare is twice as much as that of ordinary bus.
b. Busway pollutes the capital city.
c. Busway is not air conditioned.
d. Busway is uncomfortable.
e. Busway makes roads narrower.
33. Which of the following is NOT TRUE according to he text?

My mother is a fifty-year old widow. She and my father were very happy together – and I know she has been very lonely since he died.
I am very fond of her but sometimes her behavior is unreasonable. She is still quite attractive , even to men who are much younger than she is. Recently she has been seeing a lot with a thirty-six-year-old man whose wife died a few years ago in a car crash. I was very worried about this, but said nothing about it until yesterday. That was when she told me she intended to get married again. Can you guess who the “lucky man is?”
Naturally, I told her I would refuse to come to the wedding or have anything more to do with her if she went ahead with this crazy idea. But she refuse to listen the reason.
She doesn’t seem to understand I am only trying to protect her from all the problem and unhappiness she will have. Obviously, I can’t forbid her to get married. But there must be something I can do to stop her. Don’t you agree that it is very likely the man is interested only her money?
