Questions 14 20 are based on the following text.

The White Butterfly

An old man named Takahama lived in a little house behind the cemetery of the temple
of Sozanji. He was extremely friendly and generally liked by his neighbours, though most of them
considered him a little mad. That was because he was very old but he did not want to get married.
He did not have the desire for intimate relationship with women.
One summer day he became very ill, so ill, in fact, that he sent for his sister-in-law and her
son. They both came and did all they could to bring comfort during his last hours. While Takahama
fell asleep, they watched a large white butterfly flew into the room and rested on the old mans
pillow. The young man tried to drive it away with a fan; but it came back three times, as if it was
very loath to leave the sufferer.
At last Takahamas nephew chased it out into the garden, through the gate, and into the
cemetery beyond, where it lingered over a womans tomb, and then mysteriously disappeared.
On examining the tomb the young man found the name Akiko written upon it, together with a
description narrating how Akiko died when she was eighteen. Though the tomb was covered with
moss and must have been erected fifty years previously, the boy saw that it was surrounded with
flowers, and that the little water tank had been recently filled.
When the young man returned to the house he found that Takahama had passed away,
and he returned to his mother and told her what he had seen in the cemetery.
Akiko? murmured his mother. When your uncle was young he was betrothed to Akiko.
She died shortly before her wedding day. When Akiko left this world your uncle resolved never to
marry, and to live ever near her grave. For all these years he has remained faithful to his vow, and
kept in his heart all the sweet memories of his one and only love. Every day Takahama went to
the cemetery, whether the air was fragrant with summer breeze or thick with falling snow. Every
day he went to her grave and prayed for her happiness, swept the tomb and set flowers there.
When Takahama was dying, and he could no longer perform his loving task, Akiko came for him.
That white butterfly was her sweet and loving soul.

nick name is Jo. He is plump. Hes about 168 cm tall. His weight is 80 kg. Thats why we call
him The Big Jo. He has a round face with brown eyes. His spiky hairstyle makes him easily

Inul aims to drill after haj

JAKARTA: Dangdut singer Inul Daratista says she will not stop performing her raunchy
hip-gyrating dance, the drill after recently completing a spiritual pilgrimage to Mecca.
Uztad (cleric) advised me to run my business as usual after the haj. He only told me
to stop if I was too tired. How am I supposed to feed my family if I dont sing and dance? said
the singer whose dancing was once the source of a major controversy here.
Inul said she wouldnt be changing her typically-tight stage outfits like many other
actresses and female singers who start wearing headscarves after coming back from the haj.

songs). Id have to adjust. Inul said quoted by Detikcom.
