Contagious diseases are diseases which are
passed from person to person. They can be passed by
direct contact or by bacteria in the air.
Some diseases are very dangerous and these

death. In the 14th century in Europe, a contagious
diseases called "bubonic plague' or 'black death' killed
millions of people. No one knew how it spread and they
MB
could not stop it. Today, a contagious disease like
bubonic plague can be stopped by modern medicine,
but at the time, nobody understood how diseases were
E
spread or what caused them. Even this century there
have been outbreaks of serious contagious diseases

such as typhoid, yellow fever and cholera.
Doctors and scientist have studied these
diseases can prevent them if medicine is available.

Text III (for questions 11 until 15)
CASTOR FUEL AND LIGHT
The air we breathe contains the gases oxygen and
MB
nitrogen, and small quantities of other gases. Every gas
consists of molecules of a particular substance, moving
rapidly about. The molecules are comparatively far
E
apart, but they fill evenly any vessel containing them.
L
All gases can be changed to liquids, and some even to
solids, if they are cooled down enough.
The oxygen used in factories for making a very hot
MY
flame to cut and weld steel is sometimes stored and
carried about in the liquid state and solid carbon
dioxide, usually called dry ice, is used for keeping ice-
cream cold.
The kinds of gases used in cookers and gas fires
TE
come from three sources. The first kind is made of
AL
naptha, which is light oil; the second is made from coal;
while the third, natural gas, is almost entirely methane.
NT
Geologists believe that natural gas was
N
produced by iron carboniferous, or coal-bearing rocks.
The gas rose into the rock holes in the sandstone, and
OR
FI
was prevented from escaping upwards out of the
sandstone by a "cap" rock-usually a form of rock salt-
which formed a dome over the natural reservoir of gas.
In Jakarta and other big cities in Indonesia it is
common practice to use gas for cooking. Gas reaches
the houses through large underground pipes called gas
mains; and smaller pipes called service pipes lead to
the gas meters in each house or building. The meter
records how much gas is used. Natural and gas and gas
from oil has no distinctive smell, so an artificial smell is
produced by adding small quantities of concentrated a
do rants, to enable people to detect any leak that may
occur.
Pertamina sells bottled gas under the name of
Elpiji". The gas is put in steel drums or cylinders.
Bottled gas is used by people who live places without a
piped supply, by yachtsmen and campers. Indonesia's
role in LNG production started in 1977 with the
initiation of the LNG facility at Bontang. About a year
later the plant at Arun also started production and
exportation.
11. People, especially those who in big cities,
commonly use ... for cooking.
A. oil D. naphta
B. gas E. oxygen
C. coal

Text IV (for questions 16 until 20)
HENRY FORD AND MASS PRODUCTION
Many of you may have seen a Ford car. Some of
you own one, or at least you might have owned one.
Formerly, Ford cars were popular in Indonesia,
although today there are more Toyota and other
Japanese cars than Ford or other American cars.
ME
Like the Toyota car, The Ford car is named
after the man who started the car factory. Henry Ford,
along with his friends, started the Ford Motor Company
DA
in 1903. It was a small company then, but by 1927 it
had grown into a giant company.
The great success of the company began
N
during the years 1912 and 1913, when it applied all the
element of "mass production". The most modern
machine tools were used.
The parts of the car were standardized.
Machines and workers were placed in orderly
sequence. Moving conveyor belts were used. Other
devices were employed in order that the movement of
the parts and materials might be economical and
efficient. All activities were planed and coordinated.
Basically, that is what mass production is all
about. The word "mass" means a large number. The
term "mass production" refers to methods of
organizing 'production processes for a maximum
number of products at the lowest cost! It is based on
two general principles. One is the division and
specialization of human labour. The other is the use of
tools and machines in the production of standard,
interchangeable parts.

university? No, he was not. He never studied at any
university. He did not even finish high school. He left
school when he was 15 and began to work. You might
think that he ought to have finished his schooling first.
Young Henry did not think so. Instead he
thought that one could be successful without finishing
his schooling. Young Henry Ford might have promised
himself that he would be a successful man. If indeed he
did, then he kept his word. He was a successful man,

Text V (for questions 21 until 27)
When we buy canned or bottled food products
at the grocery or the supermarket, we will find out that
there are some additives added to the main nutrients.
An additive is a non-nutritive substance intentionally
added to food generally in small quantities, to improve
appearance, flavor, storage properties, etc.
Most governments issue lists of permitted
additives stating the highest acceptable concentration,
defining food products in which they may be used and
sometimes recommending the maximum daily
consumption. Such legislation is revised periodically,
and product may be added to or deleted from
permitted lists because of additional scientific
knowledge and experience of their use.
A group of food additives includes vitamins,
amino acids, and minerals which are added to
foodstuffs to compensate for losses occurring during
processing or to provide additional sources in diet that
might otherwise be deficient in such nutrients.
Examples of their use include enrichment of margarine
with the addition of vitamin A, and niacin amide to
flour or bread. Salt often has a small amount of iodine
to it to avoid a diet deficiency that can cause goiter
development.
Appearance is an important factor in food
appeal, and legislation in most countries permits the
addition of both natural and synthetic coloring matter
based on the coloring standards issued by the Food and
Agriculture Organization (FAO) and World Health
Organization (WHO).
Flavoring materials are added to basic
foodstuff to provide a characteristic product flavor or
to supplement or modify the original flavor. Most
flavoring materials are still of natural origin, but
progress in organic chemistry has made it possible to
analyze flavoring materials and to synthesize product
ME
similar with those found in nature.
Flavor can also be influenced by the addition of
the flavor enhancer such as monosodium glutamate
DA
which intensifies perception of flavoring.

occupied England, there was a small village on Lud Hill
along the Thames, where the river was at its lowest
point. It was about ten miles from the sea. The Romans
discovered that they could load and unload their
merchant ships here. So, they build a city on Lud Hill.
More and more ships could stop now for either
loading or unloading, bringing more and more business
to the city. They called the city Londinium (meaning:
city) from which the name London was probably
derived. In order to connect both sides of the river,
called the Thames, the Romans built the London Bridge
here.
A great fire in 1665 brought a big change to
London. The great wall surrounding the city was
destroyed and today we can only see its ruins. Another
change was brought by the Second World War. From
August 1940 to May 1941, German bombers attacked
