matter in the soil. Fungi are the most important agent in the breakdown of dead plant and animal material,
recycling it so that plants can use the nutrients. Fungi live in damp areas on in water because they have no

Text 3 for questions 9 to 12

Birds belong to a class of warm blooded vertebrate animals with feather covered bodies. Next to the mammals,
birds are the most important group of land-living vertebrates. All birds have feathers, although in some types,
particularly those that can not fly, the normal structure of the feathers may be much modified and be downy,
woolly, or straw like. The forelimbs of birds are modified into wings. The bony part of the tail, except in the
very earliest fossil birds, is very short, and the visible tail is composed of feathers only. The teeth are absent
except in some fossil forms. As in mammals-the only other group of warm blooded animal-the circulation is
highly perfected so that there is no mixing of arterial and venous blood, but the arrangement of veins and
arteries by which this is accomplished, is different in the two groups. Birds have keen hearing, although they
have no external ears. The sense of sight also is very keen, but the sense of smell is weak or lacking, except in a
small few vultures and other birds.

9. The passage is about the …… of birds.

a. Species c. Clarification e. characteristics

A kangaroo is an animal found only in Australia, although it has a smaller relative, called wallaby,
which lives on the Australian island of Tasmania and also in New Guinea.
Kangaroos eat grass and plants. They have short front legs, but very long and very strong back legs and

over eight meters, and leap across fences more than three meters high. They can also run at speeds of over 45
kilometers per hour.
The largest kangaroos are the Great Grey Kangaroo and the Red Kangaroo. Adults grow to a length of
1.60 meters and weigh over 90 kilos.

A young and very beautiful princess lost her ball in the water while she was playing by the side of the
lake. She began to cry so sadly that the frog who sat beside the lake croaked to her, “What will you give me if I
get you your ball back?”
All the gold you could wish for!” replied the princess. “No, I’ll asked only that I’ll be allowed to stay
with you and be your friend,” said the frog. The prince gave her word (what did such promise cost her if it mean
she could have her ball back?), but she had absolutely no intention of keeping her promise. In fact, the moment
she had her ball back she ran off so fast that the frog could not keep up with her. Nevertheless, after a while the
frog arrived at the palace.
As soon as she saw the frog, the princess was frightened. She ran to ask for help from her father, but
the king, who knew what had happened, ordered his daughter to keep her promise. So the princes picked the
frog up gently in her hand, but, with a shiver she let it drop to the ground again. But that one brief touch was
enough to break the spell that bound the frog, and caused it to run back into a young and handsome prince he
had been before.

School Uniform, Another Good Lesson

School uniform is special clothes worn by all students of a particular school. The uniform of a school
may differ from others. Why should schools use uniforms? Below are some reasons.
First of all, Notre Dame’s Department of Sociology produced a study in 1998 concerning school
uniforms. Their findings using 10th grade students showed that uniforms have no direct effect on “substance
abuse, behavioral problems or attendance.” It also claimed a negative effect on student achievements for those
students considered ‘pro-school’.
Secondly, uniform helps to create a strong sense school ethos and a sense of belonging to a particular
community. As such it promotes discipline and helps to drive up academic standards, which is why a uniform is
often adopted by schools which are being reopened with a fresh start after being classified as failing.
Finally, uniform acts as a social leveler, under which all students are equal in the eyes of the school and
of each other. In institutions without uniform students are often competitive and worry endlessly about their
appearance and the clothes they should wear. Pupils without expensive designer clothes and trainers may be
singled out as social outcasts, or stigmatized as being from poor backgrounds. For these reasons many parents
prefer uniforms as they save them money on buying clothes for school wear. Considering the findings, schools
should implement the uniform as their identity. The government should also publish some kind of rule which
makes uniform compulsory for schools.

9. What is the text about?

a. The school rules d. The importance of school uniform
b. The school identity e. The equally among students
c. What we should wear at school
10. In institutions without uniform students, one will be regarded poor because he/she ……
a. does not wear a school uniform d. posses a bad academic record
b. cannot afford to buy a school uniform e. has a bad attitude at school
c. wears no expensive designer clothes
11. “As such it promotes discipline and helps to drive up academic standards ………..” (Paragraph 3).
