The following text is for questions 23 to 25.
J.K. Rowling was born in Chipping Sodury,
July 31st 1965. Her childhood was generally
happy, although she does remember getting
teased because of her name, “Rowling”. She
recalls often getting called “Rowling pin” by
her less than ingenious school friends. J.K.
Rowling says she never really warmed to her
own name, although, she does remember
having a fondness for the name Potter from
quite an early age. J.K. Rowling studied at St
Michael’s Primary School in Gloucestershire,
before moving to Chepstow, South Wales at
the age of nine.
From an early age, J.K. Rowling had an
ambition to be a writer. She often tried her
hand at writing, although little came from her
early efforts. Aged six she wrote a book about
a rabbit with measles. After her mother
praised her effort, Rowling replied “well get
it published then.” She admits it was a “bit of
an odd thing for a child of six to think. I don’t
know where it came from.”
J.K. Rowling came from humble
economic means before writing Harry Potter
and the Sorcerer’s Stone, a children’s fantasy
novel. The work was an international hit
and Rowling wrote six more books in the
series, which sold hundreds of millions of
copies and was adapted into a blockbuster
film franchise. In 2012, Rowling released the
novel The Casual Vacancy.

The following text is for questions 29 to 31.
I had the most unforgettable experience
in my life when I was 18, as senior high
student. It is an experience about helping a
blind man to cross the street.
I still remember that day vividly. That
night I had studied at school library; it was
around 10 o’clock, and I prepared to go back
home. As I passed through the school gate, I
said goodbye to my friends. Suddenly I saw a
strange thing in front of me.
There was a male standing beside the
cross-walk; the traffic light was green, he
could walk forward, but he didn’t. He was
just standing there and made no actions. I
was confused at this sight. Out of curiosity, I
decided to walk over to him and to see what
was happening. I felt perplexed until I walked
next to him. Standing beside him, I could see
he was wearing sunglasses and holding a
white stick; then I knew this man was blind.
In this cold winter day, pedestrians all
wore heavy coats, including him and me. His
was gray and mine was black. I also noticed
that there was a sign around his neck. The
sign said “I am virtually deaf and blind; please
help me cross the street. Tap me on the
shoulder.” I knew I must help him. So I tapped
him on the shoulder, and then he put his left
hand on my right shoulder and I led him
across the street. All the process was quiet;
the only thing I could hear was the sounds
of our steps. It was a chilly night too, but I
knew he would feel warm at this moment.
When we got across the street, he bowed
in thanks, and started walking up the block,
to the next corner, then the next. While he
walked past me, I couldn’t help but start to
weep. I wanted to walk him home. It was
not a very busy street, almost deserted. He
could have been there, on that corner, for 10
minutes. Maybe he is still at another corner,
now, waiting. How does he get home? How
does he know where his home is? Thinking of
this, I cried more loudly.
I can’t image being deaf and blind. You
would be so helpless and dependent on other
people. Can you imagine going home like that
every day: walking a block, then waiting for
someone to help you get across the street,
then walking another block, and waiting,
relying on the kindness of strangers? After
this incident, I realized how blessed I am. I
should cherish every day and do my best to
help the people who need help in my life.

The following text is for questions 32 to 34.
Once upon a time, there was once
a guy who was very much in love with this
girl. This romantic guy folded 1,000 pieces of
paper cranes as a gift to his girl. Although, at
that time he was just a small executive in his
company, his future did not seem too bright,
they were very happy together. Until one day,
his girl told him she was going to Paris and
would never come back. She also told him
that she could not visualize any future for the
both of them, so she asked to let go their own
ways and then heartbroken, the guy agreed.
When he regained his confidence, he
worked hard day and night, just to make
something out of himself. Finally with all
these hard works and helps from friends, this
guy had set up his own company. “You never
fail until you stop trying.” He always told
himself. “I must make it in life!”
One rainy day, while this guy was driving,
he saw an elderly couple sharing an umbrella
in the rain walking to some destination. Even
with the umbrella, they were still drenched.
It didn’t take him long to realize those were
his ex-girlfriend’s parents. With a heart in
getting back at them, he drove slowly beside
the couple, wanting them to spot him in his
luxury saloon. He wanted them to know that
he wasn’t the same anymore; he had his own
company, car, condo, etc. He had made it in
life!
Before the guy could realize, the couple
was walking towards a cemetery, and he got
out of his car and followed them, and he saw
his ex-girlfriend, a photograph of her smiling
sweetly as ever at him from her tombstone,
and he saw his precious paper cranes in a
bottle placed beside her tomb. Her parents
7
saw him. He walked over and asked them
why this had happened. They explained that
she did not leave for France at all. She was
stricken ill with cancer. In her heart, she had
believed that he will make it someday, but
she did not want her illness to be his obstacle,
therefore she had chosen to leave him.
She had wanted her parents to put his
paper cranes beside her, because, if the day
came when fate brought him to her again he
could take some of those back with him. The
guy just wept.

The following text is for questions 35 to 37.
Earthquake often happens around us. It
brings great damages. Earthquake is hard to
be predicted and that makes lots of victims.
Actually there are three kinds of earth-
quake. It is commonly based on the factor
and geological area where the earthquakes
happen. These three kinds of earthquake are
tectonic, volcanic and explosion.
8
Tectonic earthquake is the most common
one. This kind of earthquake happens while
earth’s crust rocks break because of the
geological strength created by moving of the
earth’s plates.
Volcanic earthquake happens exactly
with volcanic activity. Volcanic earthquake
occurs when the volcano produces acidic
lava, which dries quickly. When it dries
quickly, it blocks the top of the volcano. This
makes the magma cannot escape. Pressure
starts to build up and eventually the acidic
lava can no longer stand the pressure. The
volcano explodes, the pressure is released so
fast and an earthquake happens.
The last one is explosion earthquake. It
is the result of small earthquakes that occur
under mines and caverns.

The following text is for questions 38 to 40.
Spending an afternoon staring at
monkeys, bears, zebras and other animals can
be fascinating, but critics of zoos argue that
locking up wild animals in zoos is unethical.
Some people believe that keeping animals at
zoo can lead to animal suffer and habitat loss.
Animals mostly suffer in zoos. Many are
kept in small enclosures to ensure that they
are close enough to the visitors. They don’t
get to hunt for their food and may have to
live in a different climate than they are
accustomed to. Birds may have their wings
clipped, while aquatic species may not have
enough water to swim freely, according to Dr.
Thomas Dixon. Making animals suffer for our
enjoyment and entertainment is unethical,
according to zoo critics.
Moreover, people also believe that zoos
don’t encounter habitat loss. Even if zoos
provide a safe place for endangered species,
they do little to counter habitat loss, the
leading cause of endangerment. In addition,
zoos may distract from other conservation
efforts that have more of an impact, such
as land conservation programs. Finally,
according to Dr. Thomas Dixon, breeding
animals in zoos often involves inter-breeding,
because of the small animal population,
which causes birth defects.
From the above explanation, it can
be concluded that some people may think
keeping animals in zoo is not the best idea for
the animals themselves. They probably suffer
and loss their habitat.

The following text is for questions 41 to 43.
Bank Indonesia (BI) has urged President
Joko “Jokowi” Widodo to support the passing of
the redenomination bill in a bid to make rupiah
denominations simpler and more efficient.
“Simplifying the number of digits on
rupiah denominations will not decrease
consumers’ purchasing power as it will also
be followed by the prices of goods and
services being adjusted,” BI governor Agus
Martowardojo said at the central bank’s
headquarters on Monday, during an event on
the issuance of new banknotes and coins.
Agus said should the bill be passed into
law the denomination process would need a
minimum transition period of eight years, add-
ing that BI would coordinate with the Finance
Minister to accelerate the bill’s completion.
Jokowi, who also came to the event,
said the bill should have been included as a
priority item in the 2017 National Legislation
Program (Prolegnas).
The previous government had dis-
cussed plans to slash three zeroes off the
local currency since 2013. However, until
this point, the draft bill still has not been
deliberated by the House of Representatives.

The following text is for questions 44 to 46.
There is a lot of research on both
humans and animals on the effects of
caffeine, and there is often thought that too
much is bad for us. There is no conclusive
evidence to implicate caffeine consumption
as being significantly harmful to health, but
there is still controversy with this, as there
are still some negative effects associated
with caffeine consumption. Having some
caffeine daily is ok, but using food and
exercise strategies listed below, will certainly
help in reducing fatigue and avoiding caffeine
addiction.
Caffeine is a central nervous stimulant
and can have some positive effects on the
human body. Caffeine in low doses is thought
10
to be associated with an improvement in
sporting performance, increased alertness
and reduction in fatigue potentially lifting a
person’s mood. Coffee and tea also contain
some antioxidants which have positive effects
on heart health.
However, increased amounts of caffeine
lead to dependency due to increased
tolerance and hence the need for greater
amounts to gain the same stimulatory
benefits. Heavy users who have to go
without experience withdrawal symptoms
such as headaches and fatigue. Too much
caffeine can produce restlessness, nausea,
sleep difficulties, upset stomach, increased
urine production causing dehydration, and
cardiac arrhythmias (irregular heartbeats). It
has also been associated with elevated blood
pressure in sensitive persons.
Caffeine is becoming more popular as
well as easier to access with drive-through
coffee shops and the proliferation of
energy drinks. People often rely on caffeine
to combat fatigue. The biggest problem
with coffee consumption is that tolerance
increases and then people become more
reliant on it and require greater dosages to
get the same effects – it becomes a negative
spiral and an addictive habit.
