It's almost midday and it was a quiet day.


No one came to drink or have a meal.
Suddenly a portly man stood in front of the
terrace with a bow around his neck and a
leather water skin sticking out of his large
strong bag. He did not look like a tourist.
He looked uneducated. 1-9 While I was
thinking about his appearance, he sat on
one of the chairs. He was sipping water
from his water skin and he pretended to
look at a glossy cruise brochure. His scarf
masked half of his face. It was about 10
minutes and he still needed to turn a
page. I thought I was right about him. He
couldn't understand the brochure. So I
decided to bring him a bowl of clam
chowder, he coughed up a "thank you"
and looked at me briefly. I tried not to
stare at the tiny scar across his left
eyebrow. The man looked familiar, but I
couldn't quite place him. Shaking my
head, I walked back inside the kitchen
with my empty tray. Before the second
pace, something hit me. The car accident.
The mysterious stranger who helped me
out of my smashed car, just before it
exploded. I rushed back to his table. He
was gone. I moved his saucer and found
his tip, along with a card, 'I am deeply
indebted to you. The night of your car
accident, I was on my way to rob a jewelry
store. Saving your life brought things back
into perspective. I now live an honest life,
thanks to you. God bless you! Robin
Hood. I shivered. The night of my car
accident, I was heading to damage my
dad's car because he refused to give me
more pocket money. Seeing human
kindness through his heroic gesture
turned my life around and brought faith
back into my life. I unfolded the tip he left.
I said a silent prayer for him and got back
to work, smiling. Robin Hood, you were
real.

The Legend of Golog Stone


A long time ago, there lived a poor family
in Padamara near Sawing River, West
Nusa Tenggara. They worked as
agricultural laborers. The husband was
named Amaq Lembain, and his wife was
named Inaq Lembain. They had two sons.
The sons would come with their mother
every time she pounded rice.
One day, Inaq Lembain went pounding
rice as usual. Her sons sat on a big rock
near her. When Iraq started pounding, the
rocks they sat on began to rise.
The eldest son calls his mother, “Mom,
this stone is getting higher."
But Inaq was busy working. She said, "My
son, wait a minute. I have just started
pounding.”
That happened repeatedly until the rock
grew taller than palm trees. The boys
shouted louder until their voices became
faint. When the rock reached the clouds,
the boys cried loudly.
In time, Inaq realized that her sons were
gone. Her sons were brought by the
Golog Stone. She cried and prayed for
her sons to come back. Then, suddenly,
with her belt, she cut the rock.
The rock was broken into three parts. The
first part fell in a place named Desa
Gembong because it made the earth
tremble. The second part fell in a place
named Dasan Batu because someone
saw the falling part. The last part fell in a
place named Montong Teker because it
caused a rumbling sound.
However, her sons did not come back to
earth. They were transformed into birds.
The elder son was transformed into a
Kekuwo bird, and the younger son was
transformed into a Kelik bird. Both birds
did not incubate their eggs.

What is the Lembain family’s routine


activity?
A. They were pounding rice
B. They were pounding wheat
C. They were harvesting rice

Primary pulmonary hypertension (PPH) is


a rare disease of unknown cause that
results in the progressive narrowing of the
blood vessels of the lungs, causing high
blood pressure in these blood vessels and
eventually leading to heart failure. It is
more common in women between the
ages of 21 and 40; however, it can affect
anyone at any age.
Initial symptoms of PPH may be very
minor, and diagnosis may be delayed for
several years until symptoms worsen.
Typical symptoms may include shortness
of breath following exertion, excessive
fatigue, dizziness, fainting, weakness,
ankle swelling, bluish lips, and skin, as
well as chest pain. It is difficult to detect
PPH in medical examination.
No one knows what causes PPH;
however, research into the cause suggests
several factors that may be responsible for
the disease. Possible causes include
genetic or familial predisposition, immune
system disease, or drugs or other
chemical exposures.
Primary pulmonary hypertension is treated
with several drugs. None of the drugs that
can cure or halt the progression of this
disease has been found yet, but they may
relieve symptoms. Some patients take
vasodilators, which help to dilate the blood
vessels in the lungs, reducing the blood
pressure in them. In addition,
anticoagulants may be used to decrease
the tendency of the blood to clot in the
lungs. Doctors can choose from a variety
of drugs that help lower blood pressure in
the lungs and improve heart performance
in many patients and medication that may
take a long period. Patients with PPH
respond differently to the different
medications that relax blood vessels and
no one drug is consistently effective in all
patients.
Most doctors and patients agree that it is
very important for both patients and
families to be as informed as possible.
This lets everyone understand the illness
and apply the information to what is
happening. In addition to family and close
friends, support groups can help PPH
patients and give some valuable
experience sharing among sufferers.

Based on the information in the text,


primary pulmonary hypertension….

A. is a rare disease that cannot be cured


B. implies malfunctioning of cardiovascular
C. will contribute to death if left untreated
D. optimally needs medical treatments
E. requires long-term alternative therapies
10 Vitamin D deficiency is traditionally A/B/C/D/E Ini Materi Soal Ini Indikator Soal
associated with bone and muscle
weakness, but in recent years several
studies have shown that low levels of the
vitamin may predispose the body to high
blood pressure, congestive heart failure,
and chronic blood vessel inflammation
(associated with hardening of the arteries).
It also alters hormone levels to increase
insulin resistance, which raises the risk of
diabetes.
In a review article published in the Journal
of the American College of Cardiology,
researchers surveyed recent studies on the
link between vitamin D deficiency and heart
disease to come up with practical advice on
screening and treatment. They concluded
that vitamin D deficiency is much more
common than previously thought, affecting
up to half of adults and healthy children in
the U.S. Researchers say higher rates of
vitamin D deficiency may be due in part to
people spending more time indoors and
efforts to minimize sun exposure through
the use of sunscreens. Sunscreen with a
sun protection factor (SPF) of 15 blocks
approximately 99% of vitamin D synthesis
by the skin.
“We are outside less than we used to be,
and older adults and people who are
overweight or obese are less efficient at
making vitamin D in response to sunlight,”
says O’Keefe. “A little bit of sunshine is a
good thing, but the use of sunscreen to
guard against skin cancer is important if you
plan to be outside for more than 15 to 30
minutes of intense sunlight exposure.”

The main idea of this passage is that...

A. Vitamin D deficiency in one’s body is


the main cause of diseases.
B. Traditional vitamin D deficiency causes
problems in bones and muscles.
C. Research findings show vitamin D
deficiency may lead to health problems.
D. The best source of vitamin D to improve
one’s health comes from sunshine.
E. The U.S. researchers say that
sunscreen can keep everyone from skin
diseases.
11 An earthquake is any sudden shaking of A/B/C/D/E Ini Materi Soal Ini Indikator Soal
the ground caused by the passage of
seismic waves through the Earth’s rocks.
Seismic waves are produced when some
form of energy stored in Earth’s crust is
suddenly released, usually when masses
of rock straining against one another
suddenly fracture and “slip.” Earthquakes
occur most often along geologic faults,
narrow zones where rock masses move
about one another. The major fault lines of
the world are located at the fringes of the
huge tectonic plates that make up Earth’s
crust.
Little was understood about earthquakes
until the emergence of seismology at the
beginning of the 20th century. Seismology,
which involves the scientific study of all
aspects of earthquakes, has yielded
answers to such long-standing questions
as why and how earthquakes occur. About
50,000 earthquakes large enough to be
noticed without the aid of instruments occur
annually over the entire Earth. Of these,
approximately 100 are of sufficient size to
produce substantial damage if their centers
are near areas of habitation. Very great
earthquakes occur on average about once
per year. Over the centuries they have
been responsible for millions of deaths and
an incalculable amount of property
damage.

What will happen when seismic waves


pass through Earth’s rocks?
A. It will answer why and how earthquakes
occur.
B. It may cause an earthquake.
C. It will store some form of energy in
Earth’s crust.
D. The masses of rock will slip.
E. It may produce seismic waves.
12 The United Nations predicts Earth will A/B/C/D/E Ini Materi Soal Ini Indikator Soal
have to feed another 2.3 billion people by
2050, mostly concentrated in urban
centers far from farmland. Conventional
agriculture may not be able to meet that
demand, but luckily NASA has been
working for decades to tackle food
production both on Earth and in space.
Feeding astronauts during long-term
space exploration means stretching
resources to grow plants in space—
including minimizing water use and
energy consumption and eliminating soil.
NASA initially pioneered these techniques
on the ground by building the country’s
first vertical farm. Inside a
decommissioned hypobaric chamber left
over from testing the Mercury space
capsule, technologists stacked rows of
hydroponic trays like bookshelves against
the walls. Then systems for lighting,
ventilation, and circulating water were
added using off-the-shelf parts. Various
crops were planted on the stacked trays
to test how well they would grow in water
and without the benefit of sunlight or open
air. This innovative approach to farming
created a foundation for the industry of
controlled environment agriculture or
CEA.
CEA combines plant science and
environmental control to optimize plant
growth and maximize efficiency,
frequently incorporating vertical growth
structures. Technology enables the
filtering of contaminants from crop water
and delivers precise nutrient balances.
Artificial lighting provides only the
necessary wavelengths at the right time,
intensity, and duration, while
environmental controls maintain ideal
temperature and humidity. This approach
could help feed burgeoning future
generations, said Nate Storey, chief
science officer at Plenty Unlimited, one of
several companies building on NASA’s
plant-growth research.

It is stated in the passage that …


A. The world will run out of food by 2050
according to the United Nations.
B. NASA has maximized a farming
method requiring a little water.
C. NASA is taking over conventional
agriculture to address future food
demands.
D. To improve plant development, plant
science must be integrated with vertical
growth structures.
E. NASA’s innovative approach pioneered
the establishment of a controlled
environment agriculture industry.

her, so she decided to leave home.

After wandering all day long, she arrived


at a forest and found an old hut near a
farm. Outside the hut sat an old lady.
Akuvi had never seen such an old lady.
Akuvi walked up to the old lady, who
looked her in the eye, and asked "Who are
you and where are you from?" Akuvi just
about opened her mouth to answer, when
the old lady informed her of the bad things
she had done to her mother.

The old lady took her in and gave her a


corner of her hut where she could lie down
to sleep. The next morning the old lady
made Akuvi go to her farm to pick some
vegetables for dinner.

here, come and pick me! Another said,
"Please don't pick me, I've just been
planted! Go to the next one!" With all
these voices coming at her from all
directions Akuvi got scared: nothing like
this had ever happened to her in her entire
life.
She wanted to run away, but she was
frightened of what the old lady would do to
her. So she gathered up all her courage
and started picking the plants just as the
old lady had told her to do. She took the
vegetables home and the old lady
instructed her to cook them. However,
Akuvi didn't get meals from the old
woman. When Akuvi protested her, she
said, "No, you should not eat anything,
naughty child. Do you want me to change
you into a rabbit?" Akuvi was afraid.

The next day, the same thing happened


again. Akuvi wanted to leave the house.
She remembered her mother's love for
her. Then, one night, when the witch didn't
notice, she ran away. Arriving at her
house, she found her mother lying on her
bed. She was sick. Akuvi cried and asked
for her mother's forgiveness. Since that
time, Akuvi became a good child and
never rebelled against her mother
anymore.

‘Hotel Oranje’ as the Majapahit was
originally called, was constructed in 1910
during the Dutch occupation of East Java.
The Sarkies brothers, who were Iranian-
born hoteliers, built the Hotel Oranje,
adding yet another luxury property to their
Southeast Asian hospitality empire.
Throughout the entire 20th century the
hotel was expanded, renovated, occupied,
sold, bought, and renamed many times.
Expansions were made in the 1920s and
1930s with a new Art Deco flare that
brought in celebrities and royalty from
across the world, including Charlie
Chaplin. In the 1940’s the Japanese
occupied Surabaya, renamed the building
‘Hotel Yamato’, and used it as their
headquarters. In 1945’, just after the war
ended and the Japanese fled, the hotel
was renamed once again to ‘Hotel
Merdeka’, meaning ‘independence’. The
Indonesian people of East Java didn’t
want the Dutch rulers to gain back control
after the Japanese occupation. They tore
down the Dutch flag and erected their own
red and white flag, taking back control of
the hotel. Throughout the 1950’s until the
modern day, the hotel went through Dutch
and Indonesian ownership, and
renovations, and was eventually made a
National Landmark of Indonesia as the
‘Hotel Majapahit’.

The Majapahit Hotel is now an award-


winning destination resort managed by
Accor Hotels, and will always remain an
important part of Java’s rich history. The
hotel is located in the city center. That is
the true benefit of staying in a historic
hotel. The land was bought a century ago
and the city grew up around it. Staying
here gives you access on foot to many
attractions, restaurants, and shopping
malls. If you rent a car to take day trips to
the surrounding area, they do have a
parkade on site. Staying in this hotel
meant staying downtown but still feeling
like we were staying in a tranquil retreat.
The hotel has vast grounds. It is a rare
and unique feature to have lush
gardens and sprawling square footage in
the middle of the city. The Majapahit Hotel
is a one-in-a-million chance to stay
downtown without a massive tower.
Instead, you get a view of the modern city
that has grown up around it, while staying
in the calm retreat of the estate-like
grounds. Around every corner, we
found a jungle-like courtyard, romantic
garden, or perfectly manicured lawn. The
entire property is an immaculate work of
art that made us feel like we'd time-
traveled to another era.

hotel is located in the city center. That is
the true benefit of staying in a historic
hotel. The land was bought a century ago
and the city grew up around it. Staying
here gives you access on foot to many
attractions, restaurants, and shopping
malls. If you rent a car to take day trips to
the surrounding area, they do have a
parkade on site. Staying in this hotel
meant staying downtown but still feeling
like we were staying in a tranquil retreat.
The hotel has vast grounds. It is a rare
and unique feature to have lush
gardens and sprawling square footage in
the middle of the city. The Majapahit Hotel
is a one-in-a-million chance to stay
downtown without a massive tower.
Instead, you get a view of the modern city
that has grown up around it, while staying
in the calm retreat of the estate-like
grounds. Around every corner, we
found a jungle-like courtyard, romantic
garden, or perfectly manicured lawn. The
entire property is an immaculate work of
art that made us feel like we'd time-
traveled to another era.

“... adding yet another luxury property to


their South East Asian hospitality empire”

The underlined word means...


A. huge
B. sickness
C. luxurious
D. friendliness
E. enormous

39 Television was once the newest technology A/B/C/D/E Ini Materi Soal Ini Indikator Soal
in our homes and then came videos and
computers. Today’s children are growing up
in a rapidly changing digital age that is far
different from their parents. A variety of
technologies are all around us in our
homes, offices, and schools. When used
wisely, technology and media can support
learning children’s relationships both with
adults and their peers.
Based on some evidence research, there
has never been a more important time to
apply principles of development and
learning when considering the use of
cutting-edge technologies and new media
as the so-called interactive media.
Interactive media refers to digital and
analog materials, including software
programs, applications (apps), some
children’s television programming, e-books,
the Internet, and other forms of content
designed to facilitate active and creative
use by young children and to encourage
social engagement with other children and
adults.
When the integration of technology and
interactive media in early childhood
programs is built upon solid developmental
foundations, and early childhood
professionals are aware of both the
challenges and the opportunities, educators
are positioned to improve program quality
by intentionally leveraging the potential of
technology and media for the benefit of
every child.
This statement provides guidance for early
childhood educators about the use of
technology and interactive media in ways
that can optimize opportunities for young
children’s development. In this statement,
the definition of technology tools
encompasses a broad range of digital
devices such as computers, tablets, multi-
touch screens, interactive whiteboards,
mobile devices, cameras, audio recorders,
electronic toys, games, e-book readers, and
older analog devices still being used such
as tape recorders, record and cassette
players, projectors, and microscopes.
By appropriately and intentionally using the
technology of his day—broadcast television
—to connect with each child and with
parents and families, it demonstrated the
positive potential of using technology and
media in ways that are grounded in
principles of child development.

…....
A. digital media can harm learning and
relationships
B. technology provides children with
enjoyable experiences
C. technology may bring more good than
harm when it is used wisely
D. technology can influence the
