Text 1 (Questions 1-4)

Did you ride your bike to school when you were a kid, A generation ago most kids rode, walked or
caught the bus to school; very few of us were dropped off by our parents at the school gate. These
days most of us have experienced the daily traffic jams around schools at drop-off and pick-up times,
as parents drive their children to the school gate. While there is no national data on the number of
children who walk or ride to school, a recent Victorian survey found nearly half of all children are
driven to school every day.

Parents choose to drop their kids at school for a number of reasons mostly to do with safety and
convenience. But experts say chauffeuring your kids to school every day could mean they arc missing
out on much-needed exercise and other life skills.

Research suggests at least a third of Australian children aged 9-16 years are not getting the amount of
daily physical activity recommended in national guidelines. But this is not because children's
participation in leisure or sporting activities has dropped off, says Dr Jan Garrard. Participation in
these activities has not altered much over the years, Garrard says but what has changed is the level of
incidental activity children do. "When you look at countries where children are just active as part of
everyday life, they do not have to be sporty. All they have to do is to get around the way the
Community gets around by walking and cycling, and they get enough physical activity," she says.

1. The author develop some ideas in paragraph 2 by ...

A. describing parents chauffeuring followed by its effect
B. explaining reason for chauffeuring and their advantages
C. discussing the function of chauffeuring and the impact
D. arguing for chauffeuring practice for childrens safety
E. exposing how parent chauffer and its drawbacks

Text 2 (Questions 5-17)

Hot boning is an energy-saving technique for the meat processing industry. It has received significant
attention in recent years when increased pressure for energy conservation has accentuated the need
for more efficient methods of processing the bovine carcass. Cooling an entire carcass requires a
considerable amount of refrigerated space, since bone and trimmable fat are cooled along with
muscle. It is also necessary to space the carcasses adequately in the refrigerated room for better air
movement and prevention of microbial contamination, thus adding to the volume requirements for
carcass chillers.

Conventional handling of meat involves holding the beef sides in the cooler for 24 to 36 hours before
boning. Chilling in the traditional fashion is also associated with a loss of carcass weight ranging from
2 percent to 4 percent due to evaporation of moisture the meat tissue.

Early excision, or hot boning, of muscle prerigor followed by vacuum packaging has several
potential advantages. By removing only the edible muscle and fat prerigor, refrigeration space and
cost are minimized, boning labor is decreased, and storage yields increased. Because hot boning often
result in the toughening of meat, a more recent approach, hot boning following electrical stimulation,
has been used to reduce the necessary time of rigor mortis.

Some researchers have found this method beneficial in maintaining tender meat, while others have
found that the meat also becomes tough after electrical stimulation.

5. The word "accentuated" in the line 2 is closest in meaning to.

Text 2 (Questions 18-27)

After 1785, the production of children's books in the United States increased but remained largely
reprints of British books, often those published by John Newbery, the first publisher to produce books
aimed primarily at diverting a child audience. Ultimately, however, it was not the cheerful,
commercial-minded Newbery, but Anglo-Irish author Maria Edgeworth who had the strongest
influence on this period of American children's literature. The eighteenth century had seen a gradual
shift away from the spiritual intensity of earlier American religious writings for children, toward a
more generalized moralism. Newbery notwithstanding, Americans still looked on children's books as
vehicles for instruction, not amusement, though they would accept a moderate amount of fictional
entertainment for the sake of more successful instruction. As the children's book market expanded,
then, what both public and publishers wanted was the kind of fiction Maria Edgeworth wrote: stories
interesting enough to attract children and morally instructive enough to allay adult distrust of fiction.

American reaction against imported books for children set in after the War of 1812 with the British. A
wave of nationalism permeated everything, and the self-conscious new nation found foreign writings
(particularly those from the British monarchy) unsuitable for the children of a democratic republic, a
slate of self-governing, equal citizens. Publishers of children's books began to encourage American
writers to write for American children. When they responded, the pattern established by Maria
Edgeworth was at hand, attractive to most of them for both its rationalism and its high moral tone.
Early in the 1820's, stories of willful children learning to obey, of careless children learning to take
care, of selfish children learning to "tire for others," started to flow from American presses,
successfully achieving Edgeworth's tone, though rarely her lively style. Imitative as they were, these
early American stories were quite distinguishable from their British counterparts. Few servants

appeared in them, and if class distinctions had by no means disappeared, there was much democratic
insistence on the worthiness of every level of birth and work. The characters of children in this fiction
were serious, conscientious, self-reflective, and independent testimony to the continuing influence of
the earlier American moralistic tradition in children's books.

A. The career of Maria Edgeworth as an author of children's books.
