Gold is found in many places, but in a small supply. It is often found on the surface of
the earth.
Since gold is a heavy substance, it is sometimes found loose on bottom of rivers. The gold is
found together with sand and rocks, and must be separated from them. It is simple to search
for this type of gold.
It is not usually necessary to drill for gold, but when a layer of gold is located deep
below the surface of the earth, it is possible to drill a hole into the ground. Engineers have
developed modern process for removing gold from rocks.

Text 5. Read the following text to answer questions number 13 to 15.

Advertisements

There are many reasons for both sides of the question, "Should we have printed
advertisement'?" Many people have strong views and feel that ads are nothing more than
useless junk mail, while other people feel it is important source information.

There are some reasons why we should have advertisement in newspaper and
magazines. One reason is ads give us information about what is available. Looking at ads we
can find out what is on sale and what is new in the market. This is an easy way of shopping.
Another reason is that advertisement promotes business. When shop owners compete against
each other the buyer saves money, more people come to their shops and they sell more goods.

On the other hand, some people argue that ads should not be put in newspapers and
magazines for these various reasons. Firstly, ads cost the shopkeepers a lot of money to print
onto paper. Also some people don't like finding junk mail in their letter boxes. Ads also
influence people to buy items they don't need and can't really afford. Ads use up a lot of space
and a lot of effort has to be made the ads eye-catching.

After looking at both sides of issue, I think we should not have advertisements because
they cost a lot of money and take up a lot of room in the papers. I don't think I find some of
them interesting. I mainly disagree because it's junk mail.

13. Why does the writer present two sides of opinions of advertisements?

A. She/he wants to take side

B. She/he wants to be in the affirmative side

C. She/he uses the opinions to emphasize her own stance

D. She/he wants the readers know the opinion about the issue

E. She/he wants the readers to understand her stance

A. The ads are only garbage

B. The ads contain unimportant business information

C. The ads promote unnecessary service products

D. The ads inform us tips of easy shopping

E. The ads become the source of information

15. "Ads use up a lot of space and a lot of effort has to be made the ads eye-catching. The
underlined word is closest in meaning to ....

A. Newsworthy

B. Subtle

C. Plain

D. Impressive

E. Delicate

CAPTAIN PHILLIPS

Captain Phillips is an upcoming 2013 American biographical action thriller film directed
by Paul Greengrass based upon the book, A Captain's Duty: Somali Pirates, Navy SEALs, and
Dangerous days at Sea, by Richard Phillips with Stephan Tatty, and starring Tom Hanks. It is
produced by Scott Rudin, Dana Brunetti, and Michael De Luca. The film tells a biopic of
merchant mariner Captain Richard Phillips, who was taken hostage for several days by Somali
Pirates when the container ship Maersk Alabama which sailed from southern Oman drown along
the coast of Somalia and then to Kenya was hijacked in 2009.

Captain Richard Phillips (Tom Hanks), a veteran merchant mariner, still lives in his native
New England, and he's a plainspoken family man full of anxiety about the economically bleak
new world his kids are facing. When his wife (Chaterine Keener) drops him off at the airport,
we can see reverse her. The film then cuts to Somalia, a land of dust and poverty, where the
pirates are recruited for their mission as if they were migrant farm workers lining up to be
chosen for that day's labor. Greengrass doesn't have to fill in much about the violent, chaotic
breakdown of Somalia to let us know that these men have little choice.
 The film does not generate quite the same level of excruciating suspense as some of
Greengrass' previous triumphs, but it nonetheless holds us hostage as it proceeds. As for the
four Somali immigrants, they are remarkably effective in their first professional acting gigs.

II. Essay
Discussion Text
The following text is for questions 1 to 3.

Most people agree that the family planning program is desirable for the good of family
and society. But individuals and religious groups differ sharply on the methods of birth control
that they consider moral and acceptable.
Couples that practice birth control do so for various reasons. They may want to limit or
space their children, or to have no children at all. Young couples often postpone having children
so that both partners can work full-time. Other couples space their children so they can give
each as much attention as possible. Some women are advised by their doctor to avoid
pregnancy for health reasons. In many countries with rapidly growing populations, the
government encourages couples to limit the number of their families.
Even though birth control has gained in acceptance, opposition to the practice is
continuous. Some people fear that birth control encourages sexual outside marriage or that
government might impose birth control. Some religious groups oppose birth control on moral
grounds.
Some religious groups teach that artificial methods of birth control are immoral because
they separate the purposes of intercourse in marriage-conjugal love and the procreation of
children. Although they oppose all artificial birth control, they consider natural family planning
to be acceptable.

5. Read the following poem!

 My Heart Melted Like Butter
My broken heart melted like butter
when the heat of your love hit me.
My soul soared out of the gory gutter
where my ex pretender plunged me.

Lead me to the pinacle of your heart

where life and love beam sweet rays...
Rid me of the pains that tore me apart,
and let your desires drench my days.

I used to love for the wrong reasons;

lured by fair faces and fluffy figures...
I was taught bittersweet lessons...
till you offered me timeless treasures.

My broken heart melted like butter

when your sun crept into my room...
You saved me from a cruel clutter
and gave me glow for my gloom.

Pay attention to the underlined sentences.

What figure of speech does the poet use?

Good Luck
Wish you all the best!
