Prague

Prague is there any city in Europe, or else, like Prague? There has been a city here for
over a thousand years, and now 2.250.000 people live here. It is most famous for its Gothic
and Baroque building styles. Old Town Square, with its wonderful clock, the Charles Bridge,
and Prague Castle on the hill above the river are just a few of Prague’s famous attractions.

      Getting around Prague is easy by tram or underground train but it’s also a
pedestrian’s dream because much of the old quarter and many of the streets and lanes
have little or no traffic. The medieval center is Prague castle and St Vitus Cathedral. An
evening view of these illuminated landmarks is one of the most memorable sights in
Europe. Wenceslas Square is in the heart of modern Prague.

       Visiting Prague today, you immediately notice the lively atmosphere. The city can be
crowded during the hot summer months, but it is delight to visit any time of the year, even
 in the snowy cold of winter. In fact, tourism makes the largest contribution to Prague’s
economy. Classical concerts take place all through the year, though the biggest event is the
Prague Spring International Music Festival in May and early June. Theatre also has a special
place in the life of the city.

         The suburbs are like many in Eastern Europe with tall sky crappers and some light
industry, but you are very quickly in the sleepy villages and gentle hills of Bohemia. Many
people say Prague reminds them of Vienna or Budapest. But in fact, Prague is unique. There’s
nowhere quite like it.

DOLPHIN
For many years people believed that the cleverest animals after man were the chimpanzees.
Now, however, there is a proof that dolphins may be even cleverer than these big apes. Although
a dolphin lives in the sea, it is not a fish. It is a mammal. It is in many ways, therefore, like a
human being.
Dolphins have a simple language. They are able to talk to one another. It may be possible for
man to learn how to talk to dolphins. But, this will not be easy because dolphins cannot hear the
kind of sounds man can make. If man wants to talk to dolphins, therefore, he will have to make a
third language which both he and the dolphins can understand.
Dolphins are also very friendly toward man. They often follow ships. There are many stories
about dolphins guiding ships through difficult and dangerous waters.

6. Why talking to dolphin is not easy?

A. dolphins cannot hear the kind of man’s sounds
B. dolphins cannot think as human
C. dolphins like playing with man

A. fierce
B. friendly
C. naughty
D. shy

Advertisements

There are many reasons for both sides of the question, "Should we have printed
advertisement'?" Many people have strong views and feel that ads are nothing more
than useless junk mail, while other people feel it is important source information.

There are some reasons why we should have advertisement in newspaper and
magazines. One reason is ads give us information about what is available. Looking at ads
we can find out what is on sale and what is new in the market. This is an easy way of
shopping. Another reason is that advertisement promotes business. When shop owners
compete against each other the buyer saves money, more people come to their shops
and they sell more goods.

On the other hand, some people argue that ads should not be put in newspapers and
magazines for these various reasons. Firstly, ads cost the shopkeepers a lot of money to
print onto paper. Also some people don't like finding junk mail in their letter boxes. Ads
also influence people to buy items they don't need and can't really afford. Ads use up a
lot of space and a lot of effort has to be made the ads eye-catching.

After looking at both sides of issue, I think we should not have advertisements because
they cost a lot of money and take up a lot of room in the papers. I don't think I find
some of them interesting. I mainly disagree because it's junk mail.
11.Why does the writer present two sides of opinions of advertisements?

A. She/he wants to take side

B. She/he wants to be in the affirmative side

C. She/he uses the opinions to emphasize her own stance

D. She/he wants the readers know the opinion about the issue

E. She/he wants the readers to understand her stance

 12. How many reasons that support the affirmative side ?
A. Two

B. Three

C. Four

D. Five

E. Six

13. …their shops and they sell more goods." (paragraph 2) The underlined word refers to
A. Buyer

B. Shop owners

C. Readers

D. Writer

E. Advertiser

Dust Bin

To improve comfort and cleanliness at our school, a number of dust bins should be increased.
When we look at classrooms, school corridors and school yard, there are paper mineral water
cups, straws, and napkins here and there. The condition of uncleanness and discomfort really
hinders learning and teaching environment. Litters thrown carelessly cause disease, especially
empty plastic cup or glasses. They can be filled out with water coming from the rain. This can
be placed for dengue mosquitoes to spread out. Besides, these rubbish can deteriorate the
scene. Well painted wall and green school yard do not mean anything litters are scattered
everywhere.
Anyway I notice that most of the students in our school have responsibilities for the school
environment. They put their litters on the proper places. But some are not diligent enough to
find the dust bins. The numbers of dust binds in our schools are not enough. One dust bins
should be put beside each of steps, outside of the classrooms, and some more also the
corridors. Probably one dust bin should be in every ten meters. So when students want to
throw away their litters, they can find the dust bins easily.

When school is equipped with sufficient dust bins, we do not have problems of freak and
discomfort any more. Our school will be very clean and become a nice place to study.

14. What is the writer’s suggestion?

A. To buy more dustbins

B. To hire more gardeners

C. To use dustbins efficiently

D. To ask parents to give more dustbins

E. To ask students to clean the school yard

15. According to the writer, more dust bins….. in every ten meters.
A. Should be decorated

B. Should be painted

C. Should be placed

D. Are unnecessary

E. Are not required

The Bear and the Two Friends

Once, two friends were walking through the forest. They knew that anything dangerous
can happen to them at any time in the forest. So they promised each other that they would
remain united in case of danger.

CAPTAIN PHILLIPS

Captain Phillips is an upcoming 2013 American biographical action thriller film directed by Paul
Greengrass based upon the book, A Captain's Duty: Somali Pirates, Navy SEALs, and Dangerous
days at Sea, by Richard Phillips with Stephan Tatty, and starring Tom Hanks. It is produced by
Scott Rudin, Dana Brunetti, and Michael De Luca. The film tells a biopic of merchant mariner
Captain Richard Phillips, who was taken hostage for several days by Somali Pirates when the
container ship Maersk Alabama which sailed from southern Oman drown along the coast of
Somalia and then to Kenya was hijacked in 2009.
Captain Richard Phillips (Tom Hanks), a veteran merchant mariner, still lives in his native New
England, and he's a plainspoken family man full of anxiety about the economically bleak new
world his kids are facing. When his wife (Chaterine Keener) drops him off at the airport, we can
see reverse her. The film then cuts to Somalia, a land of dust and poverty, where the pirates are
recruited for their mission as if they were migrant farm workers lining up to be chosen for that
day's labor. Greengrass doesn't have to fill in much about the violent, chaotic breakdown of
Somalia to let us know that these men have little choice.

The film does not generate quite the same level of excruciating suspense as some of
Greengrass' previous triumphs, but it nonetheless holds us hostage as it proceeds. As for the
four Somali immigrants, they are remarkably effective in their first professional acting gigs.

A survey has found about 13 percent of first-time smokers in the country are junior high school
students. It also revealed 89 percent of young female employees were smokers.

The survey was conducted in five major cities across the country, including Surakarta in Central
Java.

that the finding of the survey showed an alarming growth rate of Indonesian smokers. "This
situation is a cause for concern,” he said. “It appears the country’s younger generation is
uneducated about the health risks of smoking.”
