Questions 31 to 33 are based on the following text.
US Ambassador to Indonesia Robert Blake celebrated for the first time Thanksgiving
Day with members of the Osing ethnic group in Banyuwangi, East Java, as part of a
visit in November. The visit also marked the International Day for Tolerance, which
reaffirms human rights.
Apart from being entertained by traditional dances and typical Osing cuisine, Blake
also released young turtles on Boom Beach. “I’m happy to be able to celebrate
Thanksgiving in Banyuwangi. This will hopefully strengthen international and
interfaith harmony, as well as a mutual appreciation of differences,” he said.

as a transit point for tourist going to Bali. In the 1990s, Banyuwangi was notorious
for its black magic practices and protests against the regent. At present, however,
Banyuwangi is the only city in Indonesia that has received the Charter for
Compassion from the Compassion Action International for its appreciation of the
values of compassion, humanism and pluralism. With the charter, Banyuwangi is one
of 40 “cities of compassion”, according to the organization.
“The appreciation of pluralism in Indonesia is perpetuated in the Constitution of the

preserved, recognized and observed,” Blake said, as conveyed by US Consul General
Joaquin F. Monseratte.

This text is for question 41.

I am sorry to announce that our Seattle Office will close December 31 in order to reduce our
overhead, the functions of this branch will be combined with the New York office. Some of the
employees here will be transferred to New York office.

We regret that we will be unable to take all of you with us. A generous severance pay will be
unable to those whose employment with Seattle will end, and I would be very pleased to
furnish anyone who asks with a very positive reference.

I deeply appreciate our association over the years, and regret the events which have made this
decision necessary.
