Text 6 for questions 21 to 23

The government has decided to submit the draft of the bill against pornography and pornographic acts. The bill states that anyone engaging in pornography is punishable by law. This includes public acts such as spouses kissing and people sunbathing in bikini or swimwear. As a consequence, the bill causes controversy.

The government argues that the bill is made to protect women’s right. Women have so far been the object of exploitation in mass media and this only gives more benefits to the owner of the business.

Woman activists, on the other hand, argue that the bill will limit women’s freedom. They believe the bill will dictate what women should wear and on how to dress and behave. If they fail following the rule they will get penalties between Rp50 million and Rp1 billion.

Nevertheless, I do support the bill against pornography and pornographic acts. I believe that the bill can decrease the rampant pornography shown or written in mass media that gives bad effects on young generations.

1.      21. Why did woman activists object to the bill?

A.  Because it protects women from exploitation B.   Because the freedom of women will be limited C.   Because women will get more benefits D.   Because women cannot wear sexy clothes E.   Because the bill will give bad effect on young generation

3.      22. “I believe that the bill can decrease the rampant pornography…”The synonym of the underlined word is …..A. irritatingB. dangerousC. circulatingD. uncontrolledE. few

23. “If they fail following the rule . . . “(par. 3) The word “they” refers to . . .

Text 7 for question 24 and 25

Death penalty for serious criminals has been discussed by our experts. Those who agree say that death penalty will scare the criminals off. However, those who disagree say that it is inhuman, not effective and we cannot correct the wrong sentence after the criminals die.

In Switzerland, this penalty does not exist. Most people argue that the possibilty of making the wrong decision is always there although it is true that spending life behind the bars is not easy either. Also, every person should have a chance for rehabilitation. In this way he or she can start all over again in another life style.

Those who agree argue that there is no use to feed the terrorists in prison with their money. When they get out, they will create a lot of trouble by blackmailing and killing people. So, who says that jails will stop them from being bad guys?

Text 8 for questions 33 to The government has just published a report which suggest that television is partly responsible for the serious increase in crime over the last ten years. The exposure of violence or pornography harmfully effects on children.Many people who are alive today know what it is like to live in a world without television. Television as we know is only about forty years old. Yet it is so much a part of our lives that it seems as if it had always existed.Some people think that the years before the invention of television were a better time. They claim that families talked more and did more things together. More books were read. People used their maginations more fully. People got more outdoor exercises.But others disagree. They claim that television is a powerful educational tool. It informs us of what is going on in the world, from a famine in Africa to a local politics and fashion. It helps us understand how people live, work, and struggle.In 1961, Newton Minow, a government official, called prime-time schedules “ a vast wasteland.” Television is credited with being a great teacher, but it is also blamed for the poor reading and writing skills of our population. Television gets praised for helping us understand the people of the world. But it has been accused of helping to destroy family life. Television keeps us informed about the political issues of the day.Experts will probably continue to argue about television’s value. But everyone agrees that it is one of the most significant inventions of the twentieth century.

The government has decided to submit the draft of the bill against pornography and pornographic acts. The bill states that anyone engaging in pornography is punishable by law. This includes public acts such as spouses kissing and people sunbathing in bikini or swimwear. As a consequence, the bill causes controversy.

The government argues that the bill is made to protect women’s right. Women have so far been the object of exploitation in mass media and this only gives more benefits to the owner of the business.

Woman activists, on the other hand, argue that the bill will limit women’s freedom. They believe the bill will dictate what women should wear and on how to dress and behave. If they fail following the rule they will get penalties between Rp50 million and Rp1 billion.
