The following text is for questions 13 to 20.

New Animals
In northern Vietnam, in thick forests in the North Annamite Mountains, there is a
wildlfe park called Vu Quang. In 1986, the area was made an official forest reserve. In
2002, 550 square kilometers of the area were declared a National Park. Vu Quang is no
ordinary perk, though. Its in an area that is hard to get to, for one thing, and its an
area thats difficult to walk through because the rocks are covered with algae and are
very slippery. But thats not all that is unusual about Vu Quang. In the last twenty
years, several new species of animals that have never been seen anywhere in the
world before have been discovered there. Some of them are so new that scientist
havent given them official names yet!
The new animals discovered at the park include the Vu Quang ox or Saola,
aslowdear, a giant muntjac ( the worlds largest, in fact ), a black deer and a holy
goat. Five new species of fish have also been found there, as well as two species of
amphibians and fifteen species of reptiles.
The Saola was the first new species of large mammals to be discovered in more
than fifty years, so it caused a lot of excitement in the scientific world. It is a strange
goat-like creature that looks as if it is somehow related to cattle. I t has horns that can
be between one and two feet long, and that seem to come out of the animals head at
slightly different angles. Thats where the animals got its name from : Saola in
Vietnamese means spinning wheel posts
The creature had hidden savely for generations in the Vu Quang area. But once
it was discovered, it was in danger. Hunters have no respect for new species. Sadly,
the Saola is now being hunted and may well end up as another endangered species.

The following text is for questions 21 to 25
Octopuses are mollusks, a kind of animal with a soft body. Unlike other mollusks, such
as clams and oisters, octopuses and squid have no hard shells to protect them. An
octopus is an animal without any bones. Surrounding the main portion of its body is a
fleshy covering, called a mantle. Most of the internal organs of an octopus are inside

the mantle. An octopus has two big eyes, so it has very good visions. Seals, eels, and
other sea animals prey on octopuses. An octopus main method o defense is to shoot a

Curriculum Conundrum
The pilot for the revised National Curriculum was unfurled with much fanfare
and a similar amount of controversy in 2013 to replace the 2006 curriculum. Then
education minister Muhammad Nuh said the new method emphasized studentcentered learning, putting students as the local point of education in contrast to the
previous approach.
Students are encouraged to actively participate in class discussion while teachers
serve as facilitaters to their learning. The curriculum also allows the flexibility of
choices in specialization , without a required core curriculum. For example, high school
students can handpick their desired fields of study similar to the selection of major
and minor programs in university.

It sounds like a great idea on paper, but there were problems from the outset.
The curriculum itself was only announced to the public in2012. When the curriculum
took effect, only three academic subjects had their books. Teachers were also under
pressure to master the curriculum with only a few training sessions and some have
never undergone training at all.
Amid the debate over the curriculums effectiveness, newly appointed Culture
and Elementary and Secondary Education Minister Anies Baswedan announced in
Desember 2014 the decision to revert back to the old curriculum for the meantime. To
resolve outstanding issues, the Culture and Elementary and Secondary Education
Ministry plans to evaluate the 2013 curriculum and ensure it will be effective in its
goals before accross the board implementation.
