It all happened about two months ago. I was in the girls’ changing room belting out my
favorite
song when my music teacher walked in. She commented that I had a mellifluous voice but I
did
not think much about it. The next thing I knew, she had signed me up for the Teachers’ Day Singing Contest. When I
first learnt about it, I was flabbergasted and protested immediately.
On the big day, my
heart skipped
a beat when I heard
my name being
called. Biting my lip
nervously, I strode onto
the
stage gingerly, my hands clammy
from
perspiration. “God, please
help me!” I prayed desperately. However, when I saw the countless pairs of eyes staring at
me, the rubber band of stress in me snapped.
I had always been an awfully shy person who disliked any form of attention. I hardly spoke up in class or participated in group activities. Thus, it was not surprising that my history teacher of two years did not even know my name. Being in the limelight stressed me out, so asking me to
perform on
stage in
front of the whole school was as
good as telling me to jump off a plane without a parachute.
Standing on the stage, I looked at the audience with mute horror. The music had started playing but I could not utter a single word. An irrational fear overwhelmed me, causing my
heart to palpitate so fast that it might just leap out from my mouth. I had never felt more nervous and embarrassed in my life before. How I wished the ground would open up and
swallow me.
I took a deep breath and asked the judges if I could start again. Perhaps out of pity, they
agreed readily. The
familiar music played once more. Shutting my eyes, I blocked out all
negative thoughts in my mind and sang my heart out. To my surprise, the audience were so blown away that they gave me a rapturous ovation. Happiness bubbled up inside me as
I walked off the stage.
Although I could
not
see my own face,
I knew I was glowing in delight.
37. Who
wrote the story?
A. A timid student
B. A talented singer
C. A music teacher
D. A singing judge
38. What happened when she was on
the stage for
the
first time while the music had begun?
A. Her voice didn’t come
out.
B. She felt
totally embarrassed.
C. The audience were all
amazed.
D. She was frightened to look at the audience.
39. “Perhaps out of pity, they agreed readily.” (paragraph 5) The underlined
word refers to ....
A. The audiences
B. The teachers
C. The judges
D. The songs

Conference calls have become one of the most preferred
means of communication for businesses, especially to
keep in touch with clients, investors, colleagues and other
stakeholders who might be spread across different parts of the world. Conferencing services are not just for businesses but also for
ordinary individuals who may want to connect with a group of
friends or family members.
Conference call service providers host something called a
conference bridge, which is a server that can connect multiple telephone lines at the same time. It is the bridge
that
callers dial into to get connected to the teleconference. All you need is an ordinary telephone line
to start telephone conferencing with any
number of
people
located anywhere in the world. Most
teleconferencing service providers have the technology to allow up to 99 participants on a single call. If you need a larger event, that is also possible
with assistance from the service
provider.
The main advantage is that you can
cut down on the
travel expense and time to a considerable extent. A voice conference can also be recorded and played back at a later date. There are also facilities such as participant polling and surveys through the
call. Conference calling helps save time, money as well as reduce the greenhouse gas
emissions due to air and auto travel. Modern technology also allows high level of data
security for
the
calls.
40. What is the purpose of the text above?
A. Tell the advantage of
taking conference call.
B.
Inform
the
readers about
conference call.
C. Suggest readers to take conference call.
D. Let
readers know how the calls work.
41. From the text, we know one
of advantages of taking call conference
is that ....
A. it can be done anywhere and anytime you want
B. it helps to communicate with local
people
abroad
C. it can occupy more than hundreds participants on
a single call
D. it can be used for some government elections to do the polling
42. “... is that you can cut down on the travel expense and time to a
considerable extent.”
(paragraph 4)
The underlined phrase
has the closest meaning with
....
A.
maximize
B. remove
C. reduce
D. stop

Dear Mr. Curtis,
I am writing to you on

Built in 1904, Lawang Sewu is an ancient building which is famous for its exotic design as

tales. This Dutch colonial building is quite eye-catching that you can easily spot in the east side of the Tugu Muda Monument Semarang, right in the middle of

Dear Bram,
It has been a long time since we exchanged letters. In this letter I am giving you an
exhilarating experience of my
camping trip.
I, along with six schoolmates, went camping to Bir in Himachal Pradesh. It was a seven-day trip.
We went to Delhi by train and after a day's stay left for Bir early in the
morning by bus and reached there by evening. We camped out in the woods. The nights were mostly clear
and
we enjoyed the beauty of the moon, the
stars and the sky, It was wonderful to see the night sky, as there was not an iota of pollution in the hill area.
We also sat around
the
campfire and told
stories and jokes.
We went for long walks and also went trekking. The
natural beauty of
this place is really worth seeing. There are pine trees all around
Bir and a small river flows, winding its
way
through the valleys and hills. As this place is very calm and quiet, we could very clearly hear the chirping of birds and movement of the water.

Yours sincerely,
David
