Read the following text to answer questions number 32 to 36.
Muslim’s Headscarf
The right to freedom of religion is enshrined in the UN charter and considered by many
to be a basic human right. Some religions require special diet, others prayer at specific times.
Why should a religious mode of dress receive as much protection as these other aspects of
religious freedom?
Many Muslim women view the veil as a means to protect their modesty and privacy. Just
as we would not force any women to be seen in public in her underwear if she did not feel
comfortable doing so, why should a woman be forced to show her hair if she does not want to?
Modesty is a personal judgement, some are comfortable in the smallest bikini while others prefer
a lot more clothing. No one but the woman herself should make that decision.
Muslim women are not the only ones to feel coerced over their mode of dress. Most
people are affected by the societal norms surrounding them. Fashion trends could be seen in
exactly the same light as religious traditions.
Banning head coverings is only likely to provoke a more extreme reaction among highly
religious communities. Framing laws to ban only Islamic forms of dress could be considered an
attack on one religion. Feeling under attack could cause the Islamic community to close off into
itself. They could set up religious schools where their children can dress as they want them to
and not mix with children from other faiths. These effects could never be good for the
integration of society and would further the influence of extremists. Internationally, the
perceived attack on Islamic values would inflame wider Muslim opinion, feed conspiracy
theories and add to the dangerous feeling that there is a clash of civilizations.
Intolerant schools make up problems as an excuse for not allowing Muslims freedom of
religious expression. In a multicultural society, students should be aware of the different
religious practice and cultural traditions of their classmates, and be taught to understand and
respect these.
Based on the above discussion, the government should not banned Muslim’s headscarf
as a part of school or office uniforms.

32. What is the purpose of the text?

a. to explain Muslim Headscarf to readers.
b. to inform the readers about what Muslim Headscarf is.
c. to give readers information about the headscarf.
d. to entertain readers with the effect of Muslim Headscarf.
e. to provide readers with different point of view about Muslim Headscarf.
33. What is Muslim women’s view on the veil?
a. It is an obstacle of their freedom
b. It is to protect their modesty and privacy
c. It is a fashion trend among them
d. They feel being forced to wear it
e. It is what their parents told them to wear

34. Paragraph 4 tells us that banning on Muslim headscarf could ….

a. Arouse social conflict among social communities
b. Maintain solidarity among social communities
c. Provoke a more extreme reaction among highly religious communities
d. Teach students social awareness
e. Make Muslim women loose their identity

35. What does the writer suggest?

a. Schools should not be tolerant to any freedom of religious expression

d. Muslim’s headscarf as a part of school or office uniforms should not be banned

Read the following text to answer questions number 37 to 40.

The use of formalin and other dangerous preservatives in food has been serious problem
for three reasons. Firstly, formalin is not for human beings, but it is for biological specimens and
experiments. Formalin in Biology is a 10% solution of formaldehyde in water which is usually
used as a disinfectant or to preserve biological specimens. Thus, it is not for food preservatives.
Of course, when it is used for food preservative, it will be very dangerous to human’s body.

The second reason is that there is no tight control from the government. This condition
makes the people’s health is really in a threat. When the control is weak and the use formalin
was spread wide all over the Indonesian regions, and these days it has really happened, the
citizen's bodies will be badly contaminated with the poisons. Fish or food traders still sell their
products which contain formalin and dangerous preservatives. Can you imagine that our
digestive system absorbs the substance that should be for the human and animal corpses?

The following text is for questions 1 to 4.

Galileo Galilei (1564-1642) — Astronomer and Scientist. Galileo developed a superior

telescope and made many significant discoveries in astronomy. He was sentenced to life
imprisonment by the inquisition for his support for the Copernican theory that the sun was
at the centre of the solar system.
Galileo was born in Florence, Italy in 1564 to a poor but noble family His parents
recognized their child's innate intelligence and talents and so made sacrifices to have him
educated. At his father's insistence, Galileo studied the profitable career of medicine. But, at
the University of Pisa, Galileo became fascinated in a wide range of subjects. He was also
critical of many of Aristotle's teaching which had dominated education for the past 2,000
years.
Galileo was appointed to be a mathematics professor at the University of Pisa, but his
strident criticisms of Aristotle left him isolated among his contemporaries. After three years
of persecution, he resigned and went to the University of Padua, where he taught maths. His
entertaining lectures attracted a large following and he was able to spend the next 18 years
pursuing his interests in astronomy and mechanics.
