Immunization is required during the first few years of a child’s life to protect the child against the most
serious childhood infections. The immune system in young children does not work as well as that in older
children and adults, because it is still immature. Here are some reasons why immunization is needed.

far less likely to catch the disease if there are cases in the community. The benefit of protection against disease
far outweighs the very small risks of immunization.
Finally, if enough people in the community are immunized, the infection can no longer be spread from person
to person and the disease will die out altogether. This is how smallpox was eliminated from the world and polio
has disappeared from many countries.

Tail found, but not black boxes

JP: After a three-day operation, searchers recovered the tail of AirAsia flight QZ8501 from the depths of
the Karimata Strait on Saturday. Navy spokesman Comm. Manahan Simorangkir said divers and sailors from
the KRI Banda Aceh vessel surfaced the tail from a depth of around 30 meters.
“At 11:48 a.m. local time [the tail section] appeared on the surface,” Manahan said in Pangkalan Bun,
Central Kalimantan. On Thursday, divers attached a flotation device to the tail section. The operation was
halted when currents intensified after a second team attached another flotation device.
On Saturday morning, 47 Navy divers and 10 divers from the National Search and Rescue Agency
(Basarnas) resumed work at 6 a.m. At 10:12 a.m., the team filled the flotation devices with air from six tanks.
Divers then went underwater six times to attach additional flotation devices. At 11:48 a.m., the last divers
resurfaced, followed by the flotation devices that lifted the tail section to surface. At 12:20 p.m., the tail section
emerged from the water. Searchers used a crane to lift the section onto the deck of the Crest Onyx, a vessel
owned by the Upstream Oil and Gas Regulatory Special Task Force (SKK Migas).
Indonesian Military (TNI) chief Gen. Moeldoko was the first to inspect the tail section. Moeldoko said
he would personally hand over the tail section to the National Transportation Safety Committee (KNKT), the
agency tasked with leading the investigation into the plane crash. “We are handing it over to the KNKT to
investigate whether the black boxes are inside the tail section,” he said. “Our task is to search and hoist. This has
been accomplished. Whether the black boxes are there or not, it’s not our task.” Moeldoko has been criticized
for his takeover of the search and rescue operation following the discovery of the tail section.

was shocked to hear such words. He said, "My dear friend, what are you saying? I don't find any problem
with you or your friendship". He assured the jackal that he had no such ill-feelings for the friendship between
them.

really great place. The people are kind and friendly. The food is great. I enjoyed the satay and es durian very
much. You know, when I told this to my sister Vinny, she wanted to taste them. However, the weather was

another marvelous experience. I just thought, the bridge stands alone during the day, but it has lots of friends
at night. I want to go to Padang again next time.

School uniform is special clothes worn by all students of a particular school. The uniform of a school may
differ from others. Why should schools use uniforms? Below are some reasons.
First of all, Notre Dame’s Department of Sociology produced a study in 1998 concerning school
uniforms. Their findings using 10th grade students showed that uniforms have no direct effect on “substance
abuse, behavioral problems or attendance.” It also claimed a negative effect on student achievements for those
students considered ‘pro-school’. Secondly, uniform helps to create a strong sense school ethos and a sense of
belonging to a particular community. As such it promotes discipline and helps to drive up academic standards,
which is why a uniform is often adopted by schools which are being reopened with a fresh start after being
classified as failing.
Finally, uniform acts as a socialleveler, under which all students are equal in the eyes of the school and
of each other. In institutions without uniform students are often competitive and worry endlessly about their
appearance and the clothes they should wear. Pupils without expensive designer clothes and trainers may be
singled out as social outcasts, or stigmatized as being from poor backgrounds. For these reasons many parents
prefer uniforms as they save them money on buying clothes for school wear. Considering the findings, schools
should implement the uniform as their identity. The government should also publish some kind of rule which
makes uniform compulsory for schools.

42. What is the text about?

A. The school rules
B. The school identity
C. The equally among students

E. The writer’s thesis
44. Why do Parents prefer the uniform for school wear?
A. Because the uniform acts as a social leveler.
B. Because the uniform promotes discipline.
 C. Because the uniform can save the money.
D. Because the uniform helps to drive up academic standards.
E. Because the uniform uniform helps to create a strong sense school ethos
