Jakarta Governor Fauzi Bowo says that his administration will focus on creating more interactive
parks to enhance the city’s greenery.
Speaking at the Love Tree Festreeval Parade at city hall on Sunday, he said that creating interactive
parks was more than making green open spaces (RTH), because it required less land.
“We will still create RTH, however the process will be complicated. The amount of land in Jakarta is
also limited. Therefore, we choose to focus on building an interactive garden, as has been
requested by residents,” he said Sunday as quoted by tribunnews.com.
He said that the limited amount of land to be transformed into green spaces in Jakarta means that it
came down to each individual resident taking creative initiative. Gardens in every house, regardless
of how small they may be, should have some kind of greenery, he said.
Fauzi said he supported the Festreeval activity, in which 1,000 children participated in planting trees,
as it would “foster the love of the environment” in the hearts of people.
Over the last three years the Jakarta administration has added up to 80.89 hectares of open green
spaces in the city. In its 2011-2030 area layout plans, the administration plans that 30 percent of
Jakarta would be open green spaces.
8. Based on the news, what should the residents of Jakarta do to contribute to providing green
spaces in Jakarta?
A. The residents should contribute to plant the city forest
B. The residents should try to provide a small garden in their house
C. The residents should encourage their children planting trees
D. The residents should join Greenery groups

American black bears appear in a variety of colors despite their name. In the eastern part of
their range, most of these bears have shinny black fur, but in the west they grow brown, red, or even
yellow. To the north, the black bear is actually gray or white in color. Even in the same descendant,
both brown and black furred bears may be born.
Black bears are the smallest of all American bears, ranging in length from five to six feet,
weighing from three hundred to five hundred pounds. Their eyes and ears are small and their
eyesight and hearing are not as good as their sense of smell.
Like all bears, the black bear is timid, clumsy, and rarely dangerous, but if attacked, most can
climb trees and cover ground at great speed. When angry or frightened, it is a formidable enemy.
Black bears feed on leaves, herbs, roots, fruits and berries, insects, fish and even larger
animals. One of the most interesting characteristics of bears, including black bears, is their winter
sleep. Unlike squirrels, woodchucks, and many other woodland animals, bears do not actually
hibernate. Although the bears do not eat during the winter months, sustaining itself from body fat, its
temperature remains almost normal, and it breathes regularly four or five times per minute.

Job trends for the future emphasize careers in sales and marketing. Most of the growth will
come in international sales, high technology, and electronic marketing. Research shows that
overseas sales of high tech equipment and technology will increase 20% in the next decade.
The internet is the primary source for advertising and marketing to these overseas
customers. At the same time, however, successful marketers must find new avenues to increase
consumer awareness of their products. As some clients become inundated by information on the
internet, and as others are still just learning to navigate the Web, the marketers of the future will
have to be inventive.
More traditional sales skills, such as bilingualism and an agreeable character, are still useful.
Willingness to travel is also a plus.

The mobile phone is one of the great inventions in 20th century. We cannot imagine our life
without the mobile phone. It is obviously a truth that using mobile phones gives us enormous
benefits in all aspects. Otherwise, this causes some trouble in a specific situation. In this essay, I will
explain about the advantages and disadvantages of using mobile phones with some examples to
support my opinion.
At first, I believe that using mobile phone has contributed to making our communication easier
than before. As you know, 30 years ago, all people should grasp a landline phone or go to the public
telephone booth to make a call. In addition to that, 50 years ago, we should post a mail or visit

someone to communicate. However, in recent times, we can talk with foreigners who live overseas,
whenever we want. Furthermore, we are able to save our time and reduce the business trip
expenditure and avoid traffic jam as well as prevent environmental pollution by the combustion of
the fuel.
In the other side, some people have been suffering from careless using of mobile phones of
others. We can see some rude people who speak loudly in public places, in particular in libraries,
trains and theatres. It makes severe noise and quarrel sometimes. Actually, according to the
previous news, a certain person killed someone with cruel assault because of the reason that he
spoke too loudly in a train. As another example, the camera of mobile phones sometimes disturbs a
person’s privacy. In case of a certain country, the government has legislated to prohibit from taking a
photo in public places such as a swimming pool and a spa.
To conclude, the pros and cons of using mobile phones depend on the way how we can use it
in right or wrong ways. Even though it is only personal stuff, we should always be careful using it.

Persons of sixty five years old and over already represent 13 percent of the total population of
America, and by 2025 there will be 59 percent of elderly American, representing the population in
this country. Furthermore, the percentage of population over the age of eighty five will increase
from about 1 percent to 5 percent in 2050. This population trend has been referred to as the graying
of America.
To explain this demographic change, we must look to three factors. Fertility, mortality and
immigration in large part influence all demographic trends. The large number of children born after
World War II will increase the pool of elderly between 2010 and 2030. The “baby boom” will become
the “senior boom” sixty – five years later. Although the birth rate is the most dramatic factor, the
decline in the death rate is also significant. Medical advances have influenced life expectancy. For
example, whereas only 40 percent of those Americans born in 1990 had a life expectancy of sixty-
five, today 80 percent are expected to reach the classic retirement age. In addition, immigration has
contributed to the increasing number of elderly. After World War I, a massive immigration of young
adults of child-bearing age occurred. Because the birth rates among this specialized population
were very high, their children, now among elderly, are a significant segment of the older population.
41. It can be inferred from the passage that the word “gray” in paragraph 1 is a reference to ….
A. the color hair typical of older people
B. the condition of the death rate in America
C. the diversity of colors in the population
D. The dismal outlook for the future because of popular trend

After you decide what kind of car you want, which options you need, and how much you can
afford to spend, you should shop at several dealerships. Buying a car is one of the few purchases
that you will make in the United States that allows for negotiation. In the case of cars, new and used,
the sticker price posted on the window is not fixed, and the car dealer will expect you to bargain. It
has been estimated that fewer than 20 percent of all new car buyers end up paying an amount even
close to the list price.
To save the most money, use the following strategies when you negotiate. In the first place,
don’t mention that you have a car to trade in until you have agreed on a price for the car you want to
buy. If the salespersons know in advance, they may quote you a high price for the trade-in, but the
price of the new car may be adjusted to include the added amount. In addition, buy a car which is
already on the dealer’s lot instead of ordering a car. The dealer has to pay insurance and finance
charges for every car in the inventory and is usually willing to sell one for less money in order to
reduce the overhead expenses. Furthermore, try to buy your new car, just before the next year
models arrive in the fall. Dealers are usually glad to move these cars off their lots to make room for
the new models. If you can’t wait until the fall to buy a car, at least wait until the end of the month,
when dealer is trying to reach a set sales quota in order to earn a bonus from the manufacturer.
Finally don’t mention to the car dealer that you intend to pay cash or use a bank for financing
until the deal is closed. Some dealers will offer a lower price if they believe that they will have the
opportunity to arrange the financing and collect a commission.
