Text 2

This text is for questions 21 to 25

Every country has people who are too poor to live a decent, comfortable life. They do not have enough to eat. They live in shack that they have built for themselves out of scraps of wood and metal-sometimes even out cardboard packing-cases. Often they have no proper water supply or drains. When they are ill, they cannot afford to go to the doctor. When they are cold, they have to look for fuel to light a fire.

On the hillsides in Brazil, the shacks of the poor are piled on top of one another like old cars in a scrap-yards. And scrap-yards are often what shanty towns are like places for people who have nowhere else to go.

Thousand of Brazilians leave the countryside each year and travel to the cities to seek a better life. When they arrive, they find that things are no better than in the country. There are few jobs to be had. The only way to find a place to sleep-other than on the streets as many have to do-is to move in with friends or build a shack of their own.

Text 4

This text is for question 30 to 34

Governor Sutiyoso has launched his mass rapid transportation plan. This includes monorail, subway, water transportation, and Busway. Among the public transportation plan, Busway has been put into effect. The air conditioned bus fleet with their special roads have been operated since last year. Now more routes are being constructed to cover the five mayoralties. In fact, the existence of Busway makes pros and cons.

Some people consider Busway can solve a traffic problem faced by the metropolitan city. Every day millions of people commute from their houses to their respective work places. This badly needs adequate public transportation. If fifty persons go to their officer by cars, they need fifty cars roaming on the street. This number of cars can be replaced by only one Busway. Consequently, with reduced vehicles the streets are less congested. Therefore, I can decline traffic jams. Apart from reducing traffic jams, Busway eases Jakarta inhabitants  to go to their workplace or other destination. For this reason more access on Busway is being accomplished. Other Busway roads. Have been constructed, such as, Kota-Kalideres, and Kota-Polugadung. This definitely make easies for people who go for rcreation to the zoo.

Besides reducing traffic jam and comforting passengers, Busway can minimize air pollution. As stated, Busway can replace other vehicles in a great number. It apparently declines the danger of pollution. Less vehicles means less carbon monoxide coming out from the exhausted fumes. As a result, the residents of Jakarta are less threatened with sickness caused  by air pollution. And it Busway administration can manage the public transport well, Busway can create a new icon of Jakarta.

Those who resist the existence of Busway argue that instead of solving a problem, Busway create a new problem. Busway even makes traffic worse. The Busway line makes the roads narrower. Narrow roads cause passing vehicles to get stuck especially during rush hours. Furthermore, Busway adds up corruption that has become a vicious circle in this country. As reported in a newspaper the purchase of Busway fleet is under corruption suspect. Billions of expense, Busway fare is also much expensive than an ordinary bus. It costs Rp. 3.500 for once ride, while the common bus only costs Rp. 2.000. With the difference in the bus fare, it is likely that passengers prefer to ride ordinary buses.

Apparently, Busway still creates different outlooks among the residents of Jakarta. In spite of all the critics, the governor of Jakarta firmly continues to extend its route.

30. What does the text discuss?
1. The benefit of Busway.
2. The existence of Busway.
3. The weakness of Busway.
4. People who oppose Busway.
5. People who support Busway.

1. Busway is comfortable.
2. Taking a public transport is easy.
3. Mllions of people drive their cars.
4. More Busway roads are being constructed.
5. Busway benefit the city’s residents.

32. What is the argument of people who are against Busway?
1. Busway fare is twice as much as that of ordinary bus.
2. Busway pollutes the capital city.
3. Busway is not air conditioned.
4. Busway is uncomfortable.
5. Busway makes roads narrower.
