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.

1. How many films have Marvel Studios released in 2017 D. That Thor: Ragnarok has hit the theatre already.
so far? E. Tessa Thompson’s appearance as Valkyrie.
A. One. D. Four.
B. Two. E. Five. 4. See paragraph 3!

2. Who directed the Thor: Ragnarok? A. Amazing D. Epic
A. Taika Waititi. D. Chris Hemsworth. B. Strong E. Serious
B. Mark Ruffalo. E. Tom Hiddleston. C. Funny
C. Cate Blanchet.
5. See the last paragraph!
3. What is considered by the reviewer as the breakout of “ … but I think she knew exactly …”
the film? The underlined word refers to ….
A. Cate Blanchett’s amazing act as Hela. A. Hela D. Cate Blanchett
B. The chemistry between Hemswoth and Rufallo. B. Tessa Thompson E. Taika Waititi

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.

Dance with my Father (by Luther Vandross)

Back when I was a child

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

24. We can conclude that …
