Text 1 (no. 1 – 5)

For the first time in the studio’s history, Marvel Studios released three brand new films in
2017. They kicked things off with Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 in May, followed by the Sony-
distributed Spider-Man: Homecoming in July, and now the third and final (and best?) has hit theaters:
Thor: Ragnarok.
The Thor franchise has been something of a red-headed stepchild in the Marvel Cinematic
Universe, but director Taika Waititi’s silly, euphorically joyous third installment is a Thor-series high
and has earned some of the best reviews of any Marvel Studios movie in history.
While the subtitle promises an Asgard-ending catastrophic event, Waititi opted to put a
spotlight on Chris Hemsworth’s comedic chops and essentially reinvent the character as a hilarious,
self-aware yet cocksure God of Thunder who just wants to save his home planet. The result is an
incredibly fun ride that leans into the chemistry between Hemsworth and Mark Ruffalo, as well as
Hemsworth and Tom Hiddleston. For that matter, it is great to have Loki back in the MCU, and the
film does a tremendous job of weaving the story of the villain Hela (Cate Blanchett) into the story of
Thor and Loki in an organic way.
Some may be dismayed at Blanchett’s underuse, but I think she knew exactly what she signed
up for: to chew the scenery and look great doing it. In that regard, I think Hela is a successful if not
terribly deep Marvel villain. But the breakout of the film is surely Tessa Thompson as Valkyrie, from
whom I hope we see a lot more in the MCU to come.

Text 2 (no. 6-10)

Habibie & Ainun tells the love story of the third president of Indonesia, Bacharuddin Jusuf
habibie and his wife, Ainun Habibie. The story flows very smoothly with the climax being his rising
career as Research and Technology Minister to the Vice Presidency later to the Presidency after the
nation’s reformation in 1998, followed by Ainun’s health deterioration which caused her death. The
saddest part was when Ibu Ainun could not cope with several surgeries to remove her ovarian cancer
that had spread out through her body. What would you call a pure, real, and eternal love of a man?
His description about love, which I could not imagine, is repeated in this book quite often. The author
tells that their struggles for Ainun’s recovery in several sanitariums in Europe were romantic
memories they shared.
There are thirty seven chapters in the book. The first to fifteenth chapters are very easy to
follow. However, the hardest part comprises the chapter when Habibie explains the technicalities of
projects and achievements in his restless work during his attachment to the Development Cabinet (in
chapter 17 to 30). I had to read several times to understand his thinking, but I found it very
interesting. I am quite impressed by Habibie’s writing style. He positions himself as the subject as if
he was sitting in front of me while I was listening to him.
The book has now been translated into English, Dutch, and German, and shortly will be in
Japanese. The moral of the story emphasizes that it is very important to focus on our life’s goals. Be
passionate about what we do, and love our country, and that support from family and true eternal
love is important. All in all, Habibie-Ainun’s love story is more romantic that Romeo-Juliet’s love
story. The tale of Romeo and Juliet was fictional, but habibie and Ainun’s story is real.

6. The purpose of the text above is …

a. to ensure the readers that the book is highly recommended.
b. to give a brief summary about the love story of Habibie and Ainun.
c. to tell the readers about the life story of Bacharuddin Jusuf Habibie.
d. to inspire the readers from the life story of Habibie and Ainun.
e. to advertise the book of Habibie and Ainun to the readers.
7. The book consists of … chapters.
a. 27
b. 33
c. 35
 d. 37
e. 47

8. Which part of the book is considered very hard to follow?

a. The last chapter.
b. The beginning of the chapter.
c. The last four chapters of the book.
d. In chapters between chapter 17 to 30.
e. Most of the chapters of the book are very hard.

9. Statements below are true, except …

a. Habibie is the third president of Indonesia.
b. Ainun Habibie passed away because of surgery’s failure.
c. The book has now been translated into English, Dutch, and German.
d. The story of love of BJ Habibie and Ainun is considered very romantic.
e. Struggles for Ainun’s recovery in several sanitariums in Europe were so romantic.

"Superheroes" (by The Script)

All her life she has seen
All the meanest side of me
They took away the prophet's dream for a profit on the street
Now she's stronger than you know
A heart of steel starts to grow
All his life he's been told
He'll be nothing when he's old
All the kicks and all the blows
He won't ever let it show
'Cause he's stronger than you know
A heart of steel starts to grow
When you've been fighting for it all your life
You've been struggling to make things right
That's how a superhero learns to fly
(Every day, every hour
Turn the pain into power)

Dance with my Father (by Luther Vandross)

Back when I was a child To get my way I would run
Before life removed all the innocence From her to him
My father would lift me high He'd make me laugh just to comfort me
And dance with my mother and me yeah yeah
And then Then finally make me do
Spin me around 'till I fell asleep Just what my mama said
Then up the stairs he would carry me Later that night when I was asleep
And I knew for sure He left a dollar under my sheet
I was loved Never dreamed that he
If I could get another chance Would be gone from me
Another walk If I could steal one final glance
Another dance with him One final step
