Answer Questions 25 to 28 based to the following text.














HOUSE HUSBANDS HEART RISK
Most people assume that life in the rat race is bad for your health. But reversing the
traditional gender roles, being a house husband is a stressful business, according to the latest
research by American scientist. By giving up their jobs in order to become house husbands,
men increase their risk of heart attack or coronary disease by as much as 82%, according to
research based on 10 year study of 2,500 people in Boston, USA.

Accoding to Dr. Elaine Eaker, the key to the problem is that some men became stressed
about performing a role not traditionally assigm to them by society. Men who stays at home
tend not to have the same levels of support from friends and family as women do the same.

Jack OSullivan, of the Fathers Direct, was quoted as saying: Society expects the
main career should be a woman and society is structured around that. Day care is called mother
and toddler groups and some men feel awkward about belonging to those groups.

Professor Gary Cooper, a psychologist at the University of Manchester, said many men
tend to underestimate the task of caring for a family. He said Most men think being a house
husband involves putting on a bit of washing, taking the kids to school and then putting their
feet up with a cup of coffee.

They are crazy. Most men are not used to performing a variety of activities
simultanously the kind of multi-tasking which is second nature to most women.

It is estimated that men have taken over the main homemakers role in one in seven
homes, as increasing numbers of women become the main breadwinner. The study also found
that women in high-powered jobs were more likely to develop heart disease than those in more
junior positions.





25. The main idea of the first paragraph is
A. People living in the rat race tend to have heart attacks.
B. The research on house-husbands health involved 2,500 people.
C. Scientists did some research on the peoples health living in Boston.

The Houses of the Toraja

The ethnic groups in the mountain regions of southwest and central Sulawasi
(Celebes) are known by the name of Toraja, which has come to mean those who live
upstream or those who live in the mountains. Their name is in fact derived from
the word Raja, which in Sanskrit means king. The society is hierarchically
structured: the noblemen are called rengnge, the ordinary people to makaka, and the
slaves to kaunan; birth determines which rank a person will occupy.

The distinctive features of the traditional houses (tongkonan) of the Toraja are the
buffalo horns, the roof design and the rich decoration on the walls. The buffalo is a
symbol of status, courage, strength and fighting spirit.

Designed as a rpresentation of the universe, the tongkonan is constructed in three
parts: the upper world (the roof), the world of humans (the middle of the building),
and the underworld (the space under the floor). The highly distinctive roofs
constructed by Toraja have given rise to various ingenious interpretations. Certainly
the roof is something of deep significance for the Toraja, and even today they bulid
modern (in other words houses bulit with cement) houses with such roofs.

43. Which diseases cannot be cured by antibiotics?
A. Tonsillities.
B. Meningitis.
C. Chicken pox.
D. Tuberculosis.
E. Scarlet fever.
Jawaban : C
Pembahasan : penyakit yang tidak dapat diobati dengan antibiotik adalah chicken pox=cacar
air, didapat dari paragraph pertama.





Antibiotic is a drug produced by certain microbes. Antibiotics destroy
other microbes that damage human tissues. They are used to treat a wide variety
of diseases, including gonorrhea, tonsillitis and tuberculosis. Antibiotic are
sometimes called wonder drugs because they can cure diseases such as
meningitis, pneumonia and scarlet fever. But when the antibiotics are overused,
or misused, these drugs make a person sensitive being attacked by superbug.
Antibiotics do not always distinguish between harmless and dangerous
microbes. If a drug destroys too many harmless micro-organism, the pathogenic
ones the dangerous microbes will have a greater chance to multiply. This
situation often leads to development of a new infection called supra infection.
Extensive use of some antibiotics may damage organs and tissues. For
example streptomycin, which is used to treat tuberculosis, has caused kidney
damage and deafness.
Resistance to antibiotics may be acquired by pathogenic microbes. The
resistant microbes transfer genetic material to non resistant microbes and cause
them to become resistant. During antibiotic treatment, non-resistant microbes are
destroyed, but resistant types survive and multiply.
To avoid the side effect of antibiotics, youd better not urge your doctor to
prescribe antibiotics. Keep in mind that antibiotics are only useful for bacterial
infections and have no effect on viruses, so they cannot be used for chicken pox,
measles, and other viral diseases.


44. What are discussed in paragraph two and four?
A. Both paragraphs describe how antibiotics work.
B. Both paragraphs tell about the effects of misusing antibiotics.
C. Both paragraphs explain how antibiotics damage organs and tissues.
D. Paragraph two tells what causes the pathogenic microbes multiply and paragraph four tells
how the un-resistant microbes become resistant.
E. Paragraph two tells how antibiotics destroy harmless microbes and paragraph four
describes how the pathogenic microbes transfer genetic material to non-resistant microbes.

Jawaban : D
Pembahasan : yang didiskusikan pada paragraph kedua adalah apa yang menyebabkan
Mikroba pathogenik berjumlah banyak dan paragraph empat menyatakan unresistant mikroba
menjadi resistant.


45. Choose one from the following which is not the effect of using antibiotics improperly?
A. Organs and tissues are damaged.
B. The pathogenic microbes multiply.
C. Harmless micro-organisms are destroyed.
D. Pathogenic microbes become non-resistant.
E. New infection which is called suprainfection develops.
Jawaban : D
Pembahasan : hal yang tidak merupakan dampak menggunakan Antibiotik secara tidak layak
adalah Mikroba pathogenik menjadi non resistant.


46. Antibiotics do not always distinguish between harmless and dangerous microbes.
(Paragraph 2)

This text is for questions 47 to 50.














Should Performance enhancing drugs be accepted in sports?
The issue of using drugs to enhance athletes performance is controversial.
Those who agree to the use of drugs in enhancing performance say that most top
players in all sports take drugs to train haarder and feel no pain during play. The
trainers, sports doctors, nutritionists, physiotherapists and managers of the big
names make sure banned substances are taken at the safest and most efficient
levels. The main effect of banning such substances has returned performers and
their coaches into liars and cheaters.

On the other hand, some still believe that performance enhancing drugs in
sport sould be beanned. Performance enhancing drugs are not only prohibited
because they violate the spirit of sport but becausethey can damage the health of
athletes.

I think the idea of allowing them in sports could lead to a situation
whereby spostsmen and women are used as hman guinea pigs for a constant flow
of new, unregulated substances.


47. What argument is given by those who disagree with the use of performance enhancing drugs?
A. Athletes health is badly affected.
B. Gunea pigs are awfully needed.
C. Athletes consume more drugs.
D. Athletes obey the rules.
E. Athletes perform better.
Jawaban : A
Pembahasan : sangat jelas pada paragraph kedua

48. According to the proponents of performance enhancing drugs, the effect of banning them is
that performers become
A. Losers
B. Winners

E. Supporters
Jawaban : C
Pembahasan : sangat jelas pada paragraph pertama kalimat terakhir.


49. What is the writers intention to write the text?
A. To persuade readers to aggree with the issue.
B. To influence readers to oppose the issue.
C. To describe performance enhancing drugs.
D. To entertain readers with the issue.
E. To expose readers with the issue.
Jawaban : E
Pembahasan : tujuan utama penulis adalah memaparkan kepada pembaca tentang isu/masalah.


50. How does the writer feel about the performance enhancing drugs?
A. Neutral
B. Positive
C. Negative
