Questions no. 15 and 18 refer to the following text.
Dear Rossa,
I am a guy, twenty-eight years old. I have a
problem with a girlfriend. She is twenty-five years
old. We have been dating each other for years,
since we were high school student. Now we have
jobs. I feel very sure that we love each other. Now
it is time for me to get married. Unfortunately, her
parents never approve our relationship ever since
the very first time. My family, anyhow, does not
really mind. At first I thought my girlfriend had the
power to defend our love. But then she
surrendered. She loves me and she loves her family
too. On the one hand she said, “I’ll be happy if my
family is happy.” It means she had to get approval
from her parents.
For this, I was shocked. My heart was broken. She
ended our relationship just at the time when I was
ready to marry her. When I was with her, we were
very happy. We had a lot in common and there
were no conflict. The truth was, we separated only
because of her parents. They want her to marry her
cousin, her aunt’s son (this is one of the traditions
in the Karonese).
For the being I am very upset. When I miss her I
call her. Then we can eat together, talk together.
The real problem is, she cannot refuse what her
parents want.
 So, should I forget my girlfriend, the only one that
I truly love? Or else, should I just wait, and dream
that one day she will be back to me?
Rio, Padang
Dear Rio,
You call her your girlfriend, but she has chosen her
own way. For this reason I’d say that there is
nothing you can do except forget her and go on
with your normal life. Hopefully you can find
another love and life happily forever.

The following text is for questions 38-41.

Your eyes are about three inches apart. That's more than trivia -- it's the reason you see the world in three
dimensions. The separation gives your eyes two slightly different views of every scene you encounter. In the
brain's visual cortex, these views are compared, and the overlap is translated into a stereoptic picture. To
estimate relative distances, your brain takes a reading of the tension in your eye muscles.
But you only see in 3-D up to about 200 feet. Beyond that, you might as well be one-eyed -- your eyes
aren't far enough apart to give two very different views over long distances. Instead, you rely on experience to
judge where things are; the brain looks for clues and makes its best guess. For example, it knows that near
objects overlap far ones; that bright objects are closer than dim ones; and that large objects are nearer than
small ones.
These "monocular cues" are what painters use to trick us into thinking a flat canvas is three-dimensional and
miles deep. That's why paintings are much more convincing if you close one eye: Your brain hunts down all the
clues the painter has dropped. But when both of your eyes are open, the brain gets more information and mixed
signals. The paint may say miles, but the muscles in your eyes say inches.
All of this fancy eye work is second nature to us, but it is learned. "Other cultures don't perceive pictures the
same way we do," says J. Anthony Movshon, Ph.D., associate professor of psychology at New York University.
"For example, primitive people don't always think bigger means nearer. It's our Western way of seeing things,
and it's a way of seeing that we've learned."
C. monocular

Tim Burton’s “Alice in Wonderland” was probably the most anticipated movie of the year 2010.
But is it any good? First of all, I should probably mention that hardcore Lewis Carroll fans may find it
disappointing. The movie is merely based on the book. It features most of the same characters and a couple
of the same locations, but the story is completely different.
Alice is no longer a little girl, but an unconventional young woman who has the same dream of finding
herself in Wonderland every night, until one day it happens in real life. Her arrival was expected. Alice is
supposed to save the inhabitants from the evil Red Queen and get the reign back to her kind sister, the
White Queen. She knows nothing about it, but she is meant to be the knight in shining armor, both
figuratively and literally speaking.
