Once upon a time, a Town Mouse went on a visit to his cousin in the country.
He was rough and ready, but he loved his town friend and made him heartily welcome.
Beans and bacon, cheese and bread, were all he had to offer, but he offered them
freely.
The Town Mouse rather turned up his long nose at this country fare, and said:
"I cannot understand, Cousin, how you can put up with such poor food as this, but of
course you cannot expect anything better in the country; come with me and I will
show you how to live.
No sooner said than done: the two mice set off for the town and arrived at the
Town Mouse's residence. "You will want some refreshment after our long journey,"
said the Town Mouse, and took his friend into the grand dining-room. There they
found the remains of a fine feast, and soon the two mice were eating up jellies and
cakes and all that was nice.
Suddenly they heard growling and barking. "What is that?" said the Country
Mouse. "It is only the dogs of the house," answered the other. "Only!" said the
Country Mouse. "I do not like that music at my dinner."
Just at that moment the door flew open, in came two huge mastiffs, and the two
mice had to scamper down and run off. "Good-bye, Cousin," said the Country Mouse,
"What! Going so soon?" said the other. "Yes," he replied; "Better beans and bacon in
peace than cakes and ale in fear."

heard her pray. “I can give you a child on one condition,” the giant said . “You must
give the child back to me six years later.” The giant then gave her a bunch of
cucumber seeds. Mbok Sirni planted the seeds. Magically, she saw a baby girl inside
the cucumber. She named her Timun Emas.
Years passed by and Timun Emas became a lovely and smart girl. One
morning, Mbok Sirni brought Timun Emas to Mount Gundul. The holy man gave
four little bags containing seeds, needles, salt, and shrimp paste, then said “Timun
Emas can use these to protect herself,”
When Timun Emas turned 16, the giant came. “Mbok Sirni! Where is Timun
Emas?” shouted the giant. Mbok Srini asked Timun Emas to run and gave her the
four bags. The giant saw Timun Emas running to the woods. The giant was angry
and he rushed toward Timun Emas.
Timun Emas threw the first bag and it became cucumber field which twisted
the giant. She threw the second bag and it became a needle field that hurt the giant.
Then she reached the third bag and spilled the salt inside. The ground which the salt
touched turned into a deep sea. Finally, she threw the last bag. The shrimp paste
became a big swamp of boiling mud. The giant was trapped in the middle of the
swamp. The mud drowned him. Then the giant died. Since then, Timun Emas and

There was once a poor boy named Dick Whittington who lived in a village without
parents. He had heard stories about a big city called London where everybody was rich
and the streets were paved with gold. He wanted to go there.
One day, he met a friendly Waggoner who gave him a lift to the city. He was
amazed at the big city. Unfortunately, he couldn’t find any gold on the street. He had no
money and ate no food few days. He collapsed in front of a rich and kind merchant’s
house.
The merchant gave him a job in the kitchen. But the cook didn’t like him and used
to beat and pinch him. Dick Whittington had to sleep in a tiny room with many rats and
mice which bothered him every night. Then, he decided to buy a cat by using his saving.
Luckily, the clever cat was very good at catching mice and rats.
One day, the merchant would go on a long voyage and sell everything on his ship.
Dick Whittington asked the merchant to help him sell the cat. After arriving in the
destination, the merchant was invited by the king and queen to a feast. However,

The king was very happy. He gave the merchant a ship full of gold in return.
Finally, the merchant gave all of the gold to Dick Whittington. He spent the money wisely
and helped people.

mice which bothered him every night. Then, he decided to buy a cat by using his saving.

This following text is for question number 33-34
Snakes are reptiles (cold-blooded creatures). They belong to the same group as lizards
(the scaled group, Squamata) but from a sub-group of their own (Serpentes).
Snakes have two legs but a long time ago they had claws to help them slither along. Snakes
are not slimy. They are covered in scales which are just bumps on the skin. Their skin is hard
and glossy to reduce friction as the snake slithers along the ground.
Snakes often sun bathe on rocks in the warm weather. This is because snakes are cold-
blooded; they need the sun’s warmth to heat their bodies up.
Most snakes live in the country. Some types of snakes live in tress, some live in water, but
most live on the ground in deserted rabbit burrows, in thick, long grass and in old logs.
A snake’s diet usually consists of frogs, lizard, and mice and other snakes. The
Anaconda can eat small crocodiles and even bears. Many snakes protect themselves with
their fangs. Some snakes are protected by scaring their enemies away like the Cobra. The
flying snakes glide away from danger. Their ribs spread apart and the skin stretches out. Its
technique is just like the sugar gliders.

33. Since the snakes are cold-blooded, they…

A. like sucking the cool blood
B. avoid sun-bathing to their skins
C. require the sun’s warmth to heat their bodies
D. never sun bathe in the warm weather

34. Some types of snakes live in tress, some live in water, but most live on the ground in
deserted rabbit burrows,…(paragraph 4).The word “burrows “ has the similar meaning
with…
A. foster
B. dig
C. plough
D. nurture

 Napoleon is a favorite fish for divers in many regions of the world. The fish can
instantly be recognized by its size, color and shape. It is one of the largest reef fish in the
world. They can grow up to 230 cm and weigh 190 kg. They have fleshy lips and a hump
over the head that is similar to a napoleon hat. The Hump becomes more prominent with age.
Colors vary with age and sex. Males range from a bright electric blue to green or
purplish blue. Mature males develop a black stripe along the sides, blue spots on their body
scales, and blue scribbles on the head. Juveniles can be identified by their pale greenish color
and two black lines running behind the eye. Females, both old and young, are red-orange on
the upper parts of their bodies and red-orange to white yellow.

Napoleon fish are carnivorous and eat during the day. They can be seen feasting on
shellfish, other fish, sea stars, sea urchins and crabs, crushing the shells to get the animal
within. They also crush large chunks of dead coral rubble with peg-like teeth to feed on the
burrowing mussels and worms.
Pairs spawn together as part of a larger mating group that may consist of over 100
individuals. The planktonic eggs are released into the water, and once the larvae have hatched
they will settle out on the substrate. Adult females are able to change sex but the triggers for
this development are not yet known.
The Napoleon is mainly found on coral reef edges and drop-offs. They move into
shallow bays during the day to feed, and tend to move into deeper waters as they grow older
and large. Adults, therefore, are more common offshore than inshore.

35. Where do Napoleon fish move during the day to feed?

A. Onshore
B. Offshore
C. Deeper water
D. Shallow bays

This following text is for question number 45-46

Every single rock on the surface of the Earth-whether it is gravestone, a piece of
solidified lava from a volcano or a boulder that has broken from a cliff or mountain-is slowly
being broken down. This breaking down of rocks at or near the Earth’s surface is called
weathering. The word is used because the weather is mainly responsible. Weathering turns
solid rock into soft materials that may eventually form soil.
Air and water are the cause of most weathering. Sometimes they change the chemical
in the rocks, and sometimes they just break apart the rock physically. If water seeps into the
cracks in the rocks, for example, it may later freeze if the temperature falls below 0 degrees
Celsius. As the water turns to ice, it expands, pushing against the sides of the rock with a
pressure believe to be as much as 2,100 kilograms per square centimetre. This forces the
cracks open. Repeated freezing and thawing causes the fragments to break away from the
original rock, these may slide down a cliff or mountain and form a sloping mass of fragments
at the bottom, called scree.
45. According to the text,…
A. there are two kinds of rock, gravestone and a boulder
B. soft materials will turn to solidified lava through weathering
