Question 10 to 14
Read the text below and answer the questions that follow. For each question, choose the correct
answer. Mark the correct answer A, B or C on your answer sheet.

ASTRONAUTS

Astronauts are trained to travel in a spacecraft, work in space and do activities related to human
space exploration. While space flight may now seem routine, every trip into space can be a walk
between success and disaster. Therefore, most of an astronaut's career is spent undergoing
extensive training.

The training period is rigorous. The conditions in the simulator trainers can be
restrictive and uncomfortable. Exercises to produce the effect of weightlessness may cause air
sickness in new trainees.

Astronauts conduct experiments and gather information while in space craft including on
the International Space Station. They also conduct experiments with the spacecraft itself to
develop new concepts in design, engineering and the navigation of a vehicle outside the Earth's
atmosphere. During the launch and when working outside the spacecraft, astronauts wear special
designed spacesuits to protect them against various facets of the new environment.

10 Astronauts are trained extensively because ____________________.

.
A they have to conduct experiments with the spacecraft
B there is no guarantee that every trip to the space is a triumph
C the conditions in the simulator trainers are restrictive and uncomfortable

PART 4

Question 15 to 20
Read the text about three different outdoor activities. For each question, choose the correct
answer which fits the description. Mark the correct answer A, B or C on your answer sheet.

OUTDOOR ACTIVITIES

A Hot-air balloon
Hot air balloon has a burner which is positioned between the wicker
basket and the balloon. The flame of the burner heats the air inside
the balloon and makes it rise. Strong wind, rain and fog are
unsuitable time to conduct hot-air balloon activity. The pilot can
ascent and descent the balloon with the burner. However, the
horizontal direction is controlled by the winds. It is thus the pilot
experience to handle the wind and the meteorological conditions
that becomes the key-success for a good flight.

B Camping

Camping is a form of outdoor recreation involving overnight stays

with a basic temporary shelter such as a tent. Camping is suitable
not only for adults but also for school children. Campers spend time
outdoors in pursuit of activities that provide them enjoyment,
educational experiences and family or team bonding. Camping also
teaches us lifesaving skills to meet our basic needs such as clean
water, build fire, cook decent food and basic aid.

C Hiking and trekking

Hiking is walking in the great outdoors, usually following an

established trail. The terrain might be flat or bumpy, but we will still
have enough energy to look around and enjoy our surroundings.
Trekking is another way of enjoying the nature, but it differs from
hiking whereby the environment tends to be more challenging.
Trekking requires more stamina. Hiking and trekking are also a
great way to immerse ourselves in the culture and history of a
country or area.

From : fahim@gmail.com
To : azri@gmail.com
Subject : Career fair

Dear Azri,
I went to a career fair with my Dad in Putra World Trade Centre (PWTC), Kuala Lumpur last
week. The place was flooded with a lot of visitors and there were so many booths to visit. I
visited a healthcare booth that was organized by Mahsa Medical School because I am very
interested to become a veterinarian doctor. I want to become a vet doctor because I love animals
so much and I want to help animals remain healthy and live comfortably. I hope to open a vet
clinic someday too. The staffs at the booth were very friendly and helpful in accommodating
information on how to pursue my ambition. They gave me a few veterinarian course booklets for
me to refer as my guidance. I wish you could come with me too.

Your cousin,
Fahim

Dear Melissa,

I received a leaflet in my post box today about an opening promotion launch by a new food cafe
in our neighbourhood. The cafe is run by Fauget Western Food and it’s just a stone’s throw
away from our house! I want to give it a try and would like to invite you to join me because both
of us love western food. Moreover, the food is reasonably priced between RM9 to RM15 and
they offer a free cola for every purchase too which is a good save! I can’t wait for us to cycle
there and get a bite on my favourite hot dog on this Saturday. I hope it tastes good. Your
favourite juicy burger is waiting for too! Let me know if you’re interested. Bye!

Your friend,
Hannah
