In Australia there are three levels of governments, the federal government, state governments
and local governments. All of these levels of government are necessary. This is so for number
of reasons. First, the federal government is necessary for the big things. They keep the
economy in order and look after like defensE. Similarly, the state governments look after the
middle sized things. For example they look after law and order, preventing things like
vandalism in school. Finally, local government look after the small thins. They look after
things like collecting rubbish, otherwise everyone would have disease. Thus for the reason
above, we can conclude that the three levels of the government are necessary.

There is no best way to deal with pests in agriculturE. Pesticides which are commonly used
may cause many problems. I think combining different management operations is the most
effective way to control pests.
Firstly, the chemicals in the pesticides may build up as residues in the environment and in the
soil which absorbs the chemicals. This reduces the quality of farm product.
Secondly, pests can gradually become resistant to pesticides. This means that newer and
stronger ones have to be developed.
Lastly, some pesticides affect non target plants and animals such as fish and bees. This affects
the ecology and environment as well. So, understanding of ecology of an area helps a lot in
pest control. Pesticides should be chosen and applied carefully so that they don’t affect the
ecological balance and environment.

Therefore, integrated pest management is a safe and more effective option to fight pest in
agriculture and livestock.

I strongly believe that mobile phones are necessary. My reasons for this belief are that these
phones are convenient for business people who travel a lot, and they are handy for
emergencies.
To begin with, mobile phones are necessary in the case of emergencies. For instance, if you
fall down a set of stairs in a building and are badly injured and can’t reach a pay phone, it is
handy to have one to use. Or, if your car breaks down in the middle of the night in a strange
neighbourhood, it would be dangerous to leave it in search of a public phone booth.

My other main reason is that mobile phones are convenient for business people. For example,
if you are out of the state or even overseas and you have to contact a client to do some
important work, it is useful to have one to use. By using a mobile phone, important
information can be received. People can’t stay in an office all day waiting for their phone to
ring. Some people have to go and do jobs or they will go out of business. You can even send
faxes or messages and use the internet with your mobile.
In conclusion, I believe that mobile phones have now become a necessary part of every day
life. Instant communication will ensure that information can be passed on with a simple press
of a button. Whether this is to do with business or personal information or emergencies, it
goes to show that they are necessary in the new millennium.
14. How many reasons are used to support the writer’s opinion?
A. One reason
B. Two reasons
C. Three reasons
D. Four reasons
E. Five reasons

15. Why are mobile phones very convenient for bussines people?
A. They can contact clients

3
B. They can do some important works
C. They can receive some important information
D. They can send some data and surf Internet
E. They can run bussines by staying in and out office

16. What is the main idea of the second parragraph?

A. The advantages cellular phones during the emergencies
B. The solution to do when your car breaks down
C. The danger to leave a mobile phone in the car
D. The differences of a mobile phone and a pay phone

that we can do. One of them is by buying and consuming fresh local groceries as much as
possiblE. It of course includes local vegetables, fruits, bread, etc.
Local groceries don’t need much transportation to get it into the market. It of course means,
the amount of carbon dioxide produced is less than the groceries from other region.
Therefore, by buying local groceries we are helping reduce the amount of carbon dioxide
produced.

Consuming fresh groceries instead of frozen ones are healthier for us. Furthermore, fresh food
or groceries means no requirements for it to be freeze up. It means that no electricity is
needed and saving energy means reducing carbon dioxide and money.

The use of formalin and other dangerous preservatives in food has been serious problem for
three reasons. Firstly, formalin is not for human beings, but it is for biological specimens and
experiments. Formalin in Biology is a 10% solution of formaldehyde in water which is
usually used as a disinfectant or to preserve biological specimens. Thus, it is not for food
preservatives. Of course when it is used for food preservative, it will be very dangerous to
human’s body.

4
The second reason is that there is no tight control from the government. This condition makes
the people’s health is really in a threat. When the control is weak and the use formalin was
spread wide all over the Indonesian regions, and these days it has really happened, the
citizen’s bodies will be badly contaminated with the poisons. Fish or food traders still sell
their products which contain formalin and dangerous preservatives. Can you imagine that our
digestive system absorbs the substance that should be for the human and animal corpses?
Considering the reasons, we can make a conclusion that the use of formalin and other
preservatives is really a serious problem if it is not resolved immediately.

20. Why is formalin dangerous for human`s body?

A. It is not food preservatives
B. It is a disinfectant for human beings
C. It is used to preserve biological specimens
D. It is 10% solution of formaldehyde in water

A. The human`s bodies will be harmful after consuming the formalin
B. The government has not controlled the use of formalin firmly
C. The weak control of using formalin is not threatening the human
D. The human`s bodies will be harmful after consuming the formalin
E. The use of formalin is known all over the regions
