Probably the best known volcano in Indonesia, or in the whole world for that matter, is Mount Krakatau. It erupted violently in 1883. What caused it to erupt? Or, more generally, what causes volcanoes to erupt? In order to know the answer, it is necessary for us to know what a volcano is. In Indonesian we call it "gunung berapi", or "gunung api" for short. The question is where the heat and fire come from. According to geologists, deep beneath the ground there are chambers which contain molten rock. Because of high pressure, the molten rock forces up the passage which connects the chamber and the opening in the crust of the earth. This molten rock flows out of the opening ,as lava (magma), and along with it ashes and gases are emitted. Eventually the lava cools off and becomes solid rock. Sometimes the solid rock blocks the opening and eruption stops. However, if high pressure builds up in the chamber, the blockage may re-open and the volcano erupts once more.
Very often a volcanic explosion, like the 1883 explosion of Mount Krakatau, causes a great deal of human suffering. That is why people often associate volcanoes with disasters. That is not wholly correct, of course, since there are also some good things. Firstly, volcanoes, like mountains in general, cause clouds to rise and then cool off from rain. Secondly, the materials thrown up by volcanoes contain minerals needed by, plants. After many years the volcanic materials make the soil fertile.

Not all volcanoes are found on land, however. Many of them are found under the sea. These are called submarine volcanoes. Whether land or submarine volcanoes, they usually have one thing in common, they are cone-shaped.

A. the eruption

A. the explosion of Mount Krakatau
B. the common similarities of volcanoes

D. the advantages of submarine volcanoes
E. the disadvantages and advantages of volcanoes

20. The volcanic eruptions which cause a great deal of suffering are regarded as ....
A. disasters
B. chambers
C. explosion


D. molten rock

21. "That is why people often associate volcanoes with disasters." (Paragraph 2)

A. mix

Uday and Qusay are killed and the delighted British and American governments suggest that Iraq will be a safer place. Yes, the Iraqis may well feel safer. And with the dictator's brutal sons out of the way forever-more are Iraqis confident about continuing the resistance against the American occupiers.

Shortly before their deaths were announced, Richard Gephardt, Democrat presidential, delivered a blistering attack on Bush's foreign policy which was driven, he said, by "machismo" and "arrogant unilateralism".

Before gold and silver were brought to Europe from the Spanish and Portuguese colonies in Latin America during the sixteenth century, inflation had not been a major problem. Since that time, however, inflation has been a significant economic issue, es¬pecially during and after wars.
Currently, in many countries of the world, peo¬ple are facing problems caused by inflation, which is a decrease in the purchasing power of money because of continuous rises in the prices of available goods. There are two different kinds of inflation, each of which can affect people's lives.
When inflation is discussed, people generally refer to an increase in prices, wages, and the amount of money circulating in a country's economy. The most common type of inflation is called creeping inflation because there is a steady but manageable increase in the rate of inflation within a year. Prices rise conti-nuously, so that workers ask for higher wages to cover the increasing costs of housing, food, and transporta¬tion. Although such wage increases are inflationary, they are often unavoidable. As a result, a govern¬ment may have to impose price and wage controls in order to control this type of inflation.
A less common type of inflation is called hyperin¬flation, which is usually due to war or occupation by a foreign country. During a period of hyperinflation, price levels double rapidly. As there is too much money available in the economy, the currency decreases in value, and people lose confidence in their govern¬ment's financial competence. To win back the trust of the people, the government may create a new currency.

20. Which of the following is TRUE according to the text?
A. Inflation became a serious economic issue in the late 1600
B. Workers can support their families because of their high wages.
C. To avoid inflation, the government should increase the people wages.
D. Whatever types of inflation a country experi¬ences, it affects every individual in society.
E. The Spanish and Portuguese colonies brought gold and silver to Europe in the year 1600.

21. What is paragraph 3 about?
A. Creeping inflation
B. The rate of inflation.
C. The cause of inflation.
D. Inflation in many countries.
E. Uncontrolled price increases.

22. What is the topic of paragraph 4?
A. The effects of hyperinflation.
B. The decreasing value of money.
C. The creation of new currency.
D. People's trust in the government.
E. Efforts to overcome inflation.

23. The following are the characteristics of inflation except....
A. rising prices of available goods
B. declining purchasing power
C. higher costs of living
D. increasing demands for higher wages
E. a decrease of the circulation of money

24. What is the common cause of inflation?
A. People are not earning enough money.
B. Government control on the economy is too strict.
C. There are always political conflicts between nations.
D. There is too much money circulating in the economy.

Mr. Baker : Hello, Mr. Fanelli. Please have a seat. What can I do for you today?
Mr. Fanelli : I want to borrow some money to buy a car. A friend of mine, Jack
Richard¬son, bought a new car last week. He told me that he got his loan here.
Mr. Baker : Oh, yes. I remember him. I was the loan officer who spoke with him.
Mr. Fanelli : He said that you were very helpful. I know very little about loans and I
hope you can explain things to me.
Mr. Baker : I will certainly try. What questions did you have for me?
Mr. Fanelli : First, I want to know if loans for buying cars are commercial loans or personal loans.
Mr. Baker : Neither, Mr. Fanelli. They're auto, loans. A commercial loan is principal that banks lend to businesses. Per¬sonal loans are made to individuals, but
not for buying cars.
Mr. Fanelli : What about interest rates?
Mr. Baker : The rate of interest currently in effect on auto loans is 16%
Mr. Fanelli : For how long will I have to make monthly payments?
Mr. Baker : The term of the loan is three years, so there will be 36 monthly payments.
Mr. Fanelli : Do I have to give the bank any col¬lateral?
Mr. Baker : The car serves as collateral. If you default, the bank can take possession of the car. The bank also checks your credit file to make sure that you al-ways paid back your loans in the past. Do you have any charge accounts?
Mr. Fanelli : My wife and I bought our furniture with our charge card and we even used it to buy airplane tickets for our vacation in California last year. We paid off both those debts promptly.
Mr. Baker : That's very good. I assume there will be no problem. But the first thing you have to do is fill out this loan application.

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.

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.
