Questions 28 to 29 refer to the following text.

Ojek
Ojek “motorcycle taxis” began appearing in Jakarta after becak were banned in the early 1990s. Ojek service
began as grassroots entrepreneurs saw an opportunity to provide a transportation options for people who used to
use becak from main roads into housing complexes.
By law all motorcycle passengers should wear helmets, so ojek drivers should have a spare for the passengers to
wear. Ojek tend to congregate at intersections on main roads and near smaller roads that are not serviced by bus
routes. Ladies have a careful balancing act if wearing a dress and must sit sidewise on the back of the vehicle. The
passengers should bargain before getting on - ask a local what the price should be first. Payment is in cash and the
drivers won't have change for larger bills.
Over the last couple of years as the traffic situation in Jakarta has become extremely challenging.A modern, more
professional alternative to the individual ojek has appeared. Companies such as is Go-Jek, Grab Bike and Yellow
Bike have developed an organized Ojek network that allows the passengers to order an Ojek from their smart
phones. They can be ordered to transport for them, pick up a meal from a restaurant or deliver goods and
documents. Their computerized system uses transparent pricing which reduces the uncertainty of the costs
involved.

Questions no 33 to 34 refer to the following Report

Spiders are very small. So it is easy to think that they do not make anything strong. However, a scientist
at Oxford University in Britain has discovered that this is not true. David Knight says that eight-legged
spiders create a material called silk that could be as strong as rope.

Mr. Knight says that silk is very thin. But it is extremely strong. This is because the threads of silk are
made into a complex structure. Mr. Knight says the silk is made from protein molecules. It forms in the
parts of the spider's body called silk glands. The silk is like pieces of string. It is rolled into small balls.

When the spider wants to make, or spin, some silk, it carefully unrolls the balls. The pieces of string join
together. When the spider wants to move, it joins all the small strings of silk into one long thread. Then
it can move down the thread. Wherever a spider goes, it spins a silk thread behind itself.

Mr. Knight says that spiders can make and use as many as seven kinds of silk. It uses one kind of silk
for making the structure of the spider's web -- where it traps insects. It uses another stretchy silk for
making round links in the web. Mr. Knight says those links are covered by another kind of silk that is
very sticky. This sticky material makes it difficult for insects to escape after they are caught in the
spider's web.

Spider silk is strong enough to catch insects. Its strength can be measured. Mr. Knight says the silk from
an Orb web spider is five times stronger than fiber made by man. He also estimates that a rope of spider
silk as thick as one pencil could pull a large ship through the water. He says one day people may be able
to make material as strong as a spider's silk. It could be used in place of rope.

Spider silk is a useful material. It does not harm the environment. It can be re-used by spiders. So
people may wonder why they cannot use spiders to manufacture silk for industrial use. Mr. Knight says
it is because spiders can not be farmed. He says if you put them in a room together, they will try to eat
each other.
