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 scientists. 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.

At one oclock, we were hungry so we had

lunch at the museum cafeteria. After lunch, we
took a walk in the park near the museum. We
went home at five oclock. We were very tired,
but we had a good time. On Sunday we stayed
home and studied.

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

32. What did the writer and his roommate do

last weekend?

B.
C.
D.
E.

They had a big dinner.

They went to an art museum.

They worked part time as a guide.
They worked part time in a cafeteria.

33. The main idea of the second paragraph

is....
A. The museum only displayed modern art
B. A guide accompanied the visitors
C. The writer liked all the art displayed at
the museum
D. The guide helped visitors to buy the
paintings displayed

Jack OSullivan, of the Fathers Direct

group, 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
simultanuosly-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.

A. People living in the rat-race tend to
have heart attacks
B. The research on house-husbands
health involved 2500 people
C. Scientists did some research on the
peoples health living in Boston

The following text is for questions 39 to 42

The Houses of the Toraja
The ethnic groups in
the mountain regions of
southwest and central
Sulawesi (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 is 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 the fighting
spirit.
Designed as a representation 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 of under floor). The
highly distinctive roofs constructed by the
Toraja have given rise to various ingenious
interpretations. Certainly the roof is something
of deep significance for the Toraja, and even
today they build modern (in other words
houses built with cement) houses with such
roofs.
39. What is the text about?
A. The culture of Toraja.
B. The society of Toraja.
C. The distinctive features of traditional
houses.
D. The description of a traditional house
of Toraja.
E. The ethnic groups of southwest and

The following text is for questions 43 to 46

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.
Antibiotics are sometimes called wonder
drugs because they can cure diseases such as
meningitis, pneumonia, and scarlet fever. But
when the antibiotics are overused, these drugs
make a person sensitive being attacked by a
superbug.
Antibiotics do not always distinguish
between harmless and dangerous microbes.
If a drug destroys too many harmless microorganism, the pathogenic ones -the dangerous
microbes- will have a greater chance to multiply.
This situation often leads to the development
of a new infection called suprainfection.
Extensive use of some antibiotics may
damage organs and tissues. For example,
streptomycin, which is to treat tuberculosis,
has caused kidney damage and deafness.

by pathogenic microbes. The resistant

microbes transfer genetic material to nonresistant microbes and cause them to become
resistant. During antibiotic treatment, nonresistant 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.
43. Which diseases cannot be cured by
antibiotics?
A. Tonsillitis.
B. Meningitis.
C. Chicken pox.
D. Tuberculosis.
E. Scarlet fever.
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 unresistant 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.
45. Choose one from the following which is not
the effect of using antibiotics improperly?
A.
B.
C.
D.

Organs and tissues are damaged.

The pathogenic microbes multiply.
Harmless microorganism are destroyed.
Pathogenic microbes become nonresistant.
E. New infection which is called superinfection develops.

Resistence to antibiotics may be acquired

46. Antibiotics do not always distinguish

between
harmless
and
dangerous
microbes. (paragraph 2)
The underlined word means...
A. Vary
B. Compare
C. Correlate
D. Contradict
E. Differentiate

This text is for questions 47 to 50

Should performance enhancing drugs to 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 harder and feel no
pain during play. The trainers, sport doctors,
nutritionist, 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 turned performers and their coaches into
liars and cheaters.

48. According to the proponents of

performance enhancing drugs, the effect of
banning them is that performers become...
A.
B.
C.
D.
E.

Losers
Winners
Cheaters
Hooligans
Supporters

49. What is the writers intention to write the

text?
A. To persuade readers to agree 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.
50. How does the writer feel about the
performance enhancing drugs?
A.
B.
C.
D.
E.

Neutral.
Positive.
Negative.
Indefinite.
Pessimistic.

On the other hand, some still believe that

performance enhancing drugs in sport should
be banned. Performance enhancing drugs not
only prohibited because they violate the spirit
of sport but because they can damage the
health of athletes.
I think the idea of allowing them in sports
could lead to a situation whereby sportsmen
and women are used as human guinea pigs for
a constant flow of new, unregulated substances.
47. What arguments is given by those who
disagree with the use of performance
enhancing drugs?
A.
B.
C.
D.
E.

Athletes health is badly affected.

Guinea pigs are awfully needed.
Athletes consume more drugs.
Athletes obey the rules.
Athletes perform better.
