Thank you very much.
Faithfully yours,
Kusworo

Indonesia wins 2–0, but fails short of qualifying
Rizal Harahap
THE JAKARTA POST/PEKANBARU
Indonesia put in an impressive performance in their 2–0 defeat of Singapore, but still failed to qualify for next year’s AFC U-22 soccer championship after finishing a third place at the end of Group E matches in Pekanbaru, Riau on Sunday.

The young Indonesian collected 9 points, or just one point behind runner-up Australia, out of a six strong field of competitors. Japan topped the standing with a perfect collection 20-2 goal margin.
Singapore came in fourth with 7 points followed by Timoe Leste with 3 points and Macau with no points.

The following text is for questions 6 to 9
Brain cancer might be categorized as the worst and the deadliest disease. Approximately 17.000 people in the United States are diagnosed with primary cancer each year and nearly 13.000 die of the disease.
The brain is made up of individual cells. These cells are the smallest units which compose the brain. A brain cancer can arise from any of the cells, which make up the brain. Brain cancer starts in just one cell. As the cell makes more and more copies of itself, it grows to form a tumor. A malignant tumor has a capacity to spread, and is then called “brain cancer.”
“Primary brain cancer” starts within the brain, and is the main subject of the transcript. In contrast, “secondary brain cancer” starts in some other organs (like lung or breast) and then spread to the brain. This is called “brain metafisis”.
There are several things that have been found to increase the risk of developing brain cancer. Having rare family disease (such as neurofibromatosis, Von-Hippel Lindau), exposure to radiation, and exposure to certain chemicals (like pvc) have been connected to developing brain cancer. The risk is greater if the person is exposed to at a young age to a higher dose.

(A)tumor grows in other organs within the body
(B)cells are contacted to radiation

Text III (for questions 11 until 15)
CASTOR FUEL AND LIGHT
The air we breathe contains the gases oxygen and nitrogen, and small quantities of other gases. Every gas consists of molecules of a particular substance, moving rapidly about. The molecules are comparatively far apart, but they fill evenly any vessel containing them. All gases can be changed to liquids, and some even to solids, if they are cooled down enough.
The oxygen used in factories for making a very hot flame to cut and weld steel is sometimes stored and carried about in the liquid state and solid carbon dioxide, usually called dry ice, is used for keeping ice-cream cold.
The kinds of gases used in cookers and gas fires come from three sources. The first kind is made of naptha, which is light oil; the second is made from coal; while the third, natural gas, is almost entirely methane.
Geologists believe that natural gas was produced by iron carboniferous, or coal-bearing rocks. The gas rose into the rock holes in the sandstone, and was prevented from escaping upwards out of the sandstone by a "cap" rock-usually a form of rock salt-which formed a dome over the natural reservoir of gas.
In Jakarta and other big cities in Indonesia it is common practice to use gas for cooking. Gas reaches the houses through large underground pipes called gas mains; and smaller pipes called service pipes lead to the gas meters in each house or building. The meter records how much gas is used. Natural and gas and gas from oil has no distinctive smell, so an artificial smell is produced by adding small quantities of concentrated a do rants, to enable people to detect any leak that may occur.
Pertamina sells bottled gas under the name of Elpiji". The gas is put in steel drums or cylinders. Bottled gas is used by people who live places without a piped supply, by yachtsmen and campers. Indonesia's role in LNG production started in 1977 with the initiation of the LNG facility at Bontang. About a year later the plant at Arun also started production and exportation.

Text IV (for questions 16 until 20)
HENRY FORD AND MASS PRODUCTION
Many of you may have seen a Ford car. Some of you own one, or at least you might have owned one. Formerly, Ford cars were popular in Indonesia, although today there are more Toyota and other Japanese cars than Ford or other American cars.
Like the Toyota car, The Ford car is named after the man who started the car factory. Henry Ford, along with his friends, started the Ford Motor Company in 1903. It was a small company then, but by 1927 it had grown into a giant company.
The great success of the company began during the years 1912 and 1913, when it applied all the element of "mass production". The most modern machine tools were used.
The parts of the car were standardized. Machines and workers were placed in orderly sequence. Moving conveyor belts were used. Other devices were employed in order that the movement of the parts and materials might be economical and efficient. All activities were planed and coordinated.
Basically, that is what mass production is all about. The word "mass" means a large number. The term "mass production" refers to methods of organizing 'production processes for a maximum number of products at the lowest cost! It is based on two general principles. One is the division and specialization of human labour. The other is the use of tools and machines in the production of standard, interchangeable parts.
From the Ford Motor Company mass production spread to other companies. Henry Ford become known as its creator. Was this creator of modern mass production a graduate of a famous university? No, he was not. He never studied at any university. He did not even finish high school. He left school when he was 15 and began to work. You might think that he ought to have finished his schooling first.
Young Henry did not think so. Instead he thought that one could be successful without finishing his schooling. Young Henry Ford might have promised himself that he would be a successful man. If indeed he did, then he kept his word. He was a successful man, and his name will be remembered in the history of mass production for good.
16.How long had the Ford Motor company been operating until it became a big company?
(A)Nine years (D) Sixteen years
(B)Eleven years (E) Twenty four years
(C)Fifteen years
17.Henry Ford became the creator of modern mass production even though he did not study in university.

(C)In mass production the human labour is not important.
(D)The Ford Motor Company was the first to introduce all elements of mass production.
(E)Mass production means producing a maximum number of goods at a maximum cost.
19.In a mass production system, all activities are planned and coordinated in order to ....
(A)get a large number of products at low cost
(B)see the general principles of it
(Cstandardize the parts of cars

Text V (for questions 21 until 27)
When we buy canned or bottled food products at the grocery or the supermarket, we will find out that there are some additives added to the main nutrients. An additive is a non-nutritive substance intentionally added to food generally in small quantities, to improve appearance, flavor, storage properties, etc.
Most governments issue lists of permitted additives stating the highest acceptable concentration, defining food products in which they may be used and sometimes recommending the maximum daily consumption. Such legislation is revised periodically, and product may be added to or deleted from permitted lists because of additional scientific knowledge and experience of their use.
A group of food additives includes vitamins, amino acids, and minerals which are added to foodstuffs to compensate for losses occurring during processing or to provide additional sources in diet that might otherwise be deficient in such nutrients. Examples of their use include enrichment of margarine with the addition of vitamin A, and niacin amide to flour or bread. Salt often has a small amount of iodine to it to avoid a diet deficiency that can cause goiter development.
Appearance is an important factor in food appeal, and legislation in most countries permits the addition of both natural and synthetic coloring matter based on the coloring standards issued by the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) and World Health Organization (WHO).
Flavoring materials are added to basic foodstuff to provide a characteristic product flavor or to supplement or modify the original flavor. Most flavoring materials are still of natural origin, but progress in organic chemistry has made it possible to analyze flavoring materials and to synthesize product similar with those found in nature.
Flavor can also be influenced by the addition of the flavor enhancer such as monosodium glutamate which intensifies perception of flavoring.
