Pak/Bu, terima kasih atas jawabannya. Tetapi yg masih buat saya bingung kenapa jawaban untuk pertanyaan ini adalah yg D ya, Pak/Bu? Mengapa harus dalam bentuk pertanyaan untuk titlenya? Terima kasih.
I’m surprised that Soekarno – Hatta airport was awarded the “No. 4 clean toilet” position, while we all know that this airport has one of the dirtiest and smelliest toilet facilities.
At Soekarno – Hatta, an airport which stays busy 24 hours a day, toilet attendees are gone by 10 p.m. and the toilets are an utter disgrace.
I propose that toilet operators should teach and train employees how to do the job properly as these facilities should be cleaned and disinfected at regular intervals.
People should also be educated not to squat on toilet pots. Signs should be put up on places which they can read to solve this problem. The toilet users should pay some money as long as the toilets are exceptionally clean and non-smelly.
Pertanyaan2nya adalah:
Which of the followings becomes the suitable title for the text above?
a. The Soekarno – Hatta airport is the “No. 4 clean toilet”
b. The Soekarno – Hatta airport stays busy 24 hours a day.
c. The Soekarno – Hatta airport was awarded the “No. 4 clean toilet”
d. Should The Soekarno – Hatta airport be awarded the “No. 4 clean toilet?”
e. Should The Soekarno – Hatta airport stay busy 24 hours a day?

Do you have rice as your staple food? But have you ever thought how rice is served on your dining-table. Let’s see the process, shall we?
First of all, grains are grown on rice fields. When the grains are ripe enough, they are harvested and stored in silos. Later, they are sent into the mills to remove their husks. When the husks have been removed from the grains, they are called rice.
The rice is then kept in sacks. After that, the sacks are sent to the stores. The prices vary among the rice according to its quality. The rice is bought by the consumers and carried home.
At home, the rice is washed and cooked in a rice cooker or a simmer. Finally, when it is done, the rice becomes resilient. Now the rice is ready to serve on our dining-table.
Rice is the most important staple food in most parts of Asia. Asians grow and eat 95% of the world’s rice.
Pertanyaan2nya adalah:
What does the text tell us about?
a. The process from grains to rice
b. How to cook rice properly
c. How to harvest ripe grains
d. Rice is the staple food of Asians
e. The process of harvesting rice
D. karena merupakan suatu yang mengejutkan / mengherankan jika airport tersebut terbersih ke 4 .

Pak/Bu, terima kasih atas jawabannya. Yg saya buat bingung kenapa kok synonym dari 'SOPHISTICATED' disini itu 'MODERN' ya, Pak/Bu? Bukankah arti dari 'sophisticated' itu 'RUMIT' ya, Pak/Bu? Mohon penjelasannya. Terima kasih banyak.
Since the olden days, people have always been changing information. Man is not determined to live solitary except certain people or those who do this for certain purposes. People live among others and they need to increase, too. Increasing in many ways, in the way to get their food more easily, to find new things important for them, or in short to make life easier, information is one way to reach it.
When the world is not as developed as now, information was still very limited. People did change information, but in much simpler ways compared to those that are used nowadays in places where writing had not been used, they changed information by speaking directly or through codes. Then people used letters in the form of writings on pieces of paper or perhaps when paper had not been found yet, they wrote letters or messages on leaves or tree-barks. Very important things were carved on stones.
What about today? Do people change information? Of course they do. Among those who met face to face they change information by asking and telling one another. Not only do they need information from around their homes or offices but also from farther places from outside their homes, even from outside their countries. It is said that nowadays we live in the globalization era, meaning that countries in the world will be able to increase themselves if they organize with other countries. They depend on one another.
Among others, information is the one thing that everyone or every country needs. Since several years ago sophisticated instruments have been being used. People have been making use of electronics and other devices. They change information through extremely sophisticated tools. Printed materials come into and out of countries in the world. Telex and facsimile have been broadly applied. By installing a parabolic antenna on out TV set we can watch programs from abroad clearly. The use of internet computers is now developing everywhere.
In conclusion, globalization information are essential to reach everything easier and faster.
Pertanyaan2nya adalah:
Since several years ago sophisticated instruments have been being used. The word ‘sophisticated’ has almost the same meaning as ………
a. good
b. complex
c. complicated
d. difficult
e. modern
shopisticated means 'canggih'. Rumit is complicated.

Once, a cap seller was passing through a jungle. He was dead tired. He needed rest urgently. He spread a cloth under a tree and began to rest. He placed his bag of caps near him and lay down with a cap on his head.
The cap seller had a sound sleep for one hour. Then he suddenly got up. The first thing he did was to have a look at his bag. He was at the first startled when he found all his caps missing, though the bag was intact. He thought and thought but couldn’t understand where the cap could have gone. Indeed, he was greatly puzzled.
All of a sudden, he looked toward the sky. In the branches of the tree, he saw several monkeys. Each of them was wearing a cap on his head. Evidently, they had seen the cap seller wearing a cap and imitated him.
He decided to get his caps back by making a humble request to them. In return, the monkeys only made faces at him. Then, he began to gesticulate. They too began to do the same. He even raised his fist toward them as if to threaten them. They only imitated him.
He began to think. At last he hit upon a clever idea. “Monkeys are great imitators,” he thought. So he took off his own cap and threw it down to the ground. All of the monkeys followed suit instantaneously. He stood up and collected all his caps, put them into his bag and went away.

So, I got a ladder from the shed in the garden, put it against the wall, and began climbing towards the bed room window. I was almost there when a sarcastic voice below said,
“I don’t think the window need cleaning at this time of the night.”
I look down and nearly fell off the ladder when I saw a policeman. I immediately regretted answering in the way I did, but I said, “I enjoy cleaning windows at night.”
“So do I” answered the policeman in the same tone. “Excuse my interrupting you, but would you mind coming with me to the station?”
“Well, I’d prefer to stay here, I’ve forgotten my key.”
“Your what?” he called.
“My key,” I shouted; fortunately, my wife opened the door just hearing my shouting when the policeman started to climb toward him for arresting.
