parents had a good time at the pub which is strictly for adults. I felt sad to leave this wonderful
place after a brief stay but I’ll be there again. Perhaps you can be with me the next time.

 The following text is for question 43 and 44.

Grasshoppers belong to insects. They are typically ground-dwelling

insects with powerful hind legs which enable them to escape from threats by
leaping vigorously. At high population densities and under certain
environmental conditions, some grasshoppers’ species can change color and
behavior and form swarms. Under these circumstances they are known as
locusts.
Grasshoppers are plant-eaters, sometimes becoming serious pests of
cereals, vegetables and pasture, especially when they swarm in their millions
as locust and destroy crops over wide areas. They protect themselves from
predators by camouflage; when detected, many species attempt to startle the
predators with a brilliantly –colored wing-flash while jumping and (if adult)
launching themselves into the air, usually flying for only a short distance.
Other species such as the rainbow grasshopper have warning coloration
which deters predators. Grasshoppers are affected by parasites and various
disease and many predatory creatures feed on both nymphs and adults. The
eggs are subject of attack by parasitoids and predators.

Indonesian Angklung
Angklung is an Indonesian musical instrument consisting of two to four bamboo tubes
suspended in a bamboo frame, bound with rattan cords. The tubes are carefully whittled
and cut by a master craftsperson to produce certain notes when the bamboo frame is
shaken or tapped. Each Angklung produces a single note or chord, so several players
must collaborate in order to play melodies. Traditional Angklungs use the pentatonic
scale, but in 1938 musician Daeng Soetigna introduced Angklungs using the diatonic
scale; these are known as angklung padaeng. The Angklung is closely related to
traditional customs, arts and cultural identity in Indonesia, played during ceremonies such
as rice planting, harvest and circumcision. The special black bamboo for the Angklung is
harvested during the two weeks a year when the cicadas sing, and is cut at least three
segments above the ground, to ensure the root continues to propagate. Angklung
education is transmitted orally from generation to generation, and increasingly in
educational institutions. Because of the collaborative nature of Angklung music, playing
promotes cooperation and mutual respect among the players, along with discipline,
responsibility, concentration, development of imagination and memory, as well as artistic
and musical feelings.

golden egg in her nest. Each and everyday after that, the goose laid another egg of solid gold.
 The couple was soon richer than they had ever dreamed of but they were not happy. They grew
impatient with only one golden egg a day. The farmer said to his wife, “our goose must be full of
gold. Why should we wait to have more egg?”
