One of social phenomena in Java is Kenduri that is a form of traditional ceremony which is still implemented until today.

Kenduri is a traditional ceremony in which some people gather to pray for the safety and the blessing on the host’s demand. Usually, this ceremony is attended by the whole family, neighbors, colleagues, spiritual figure and so on. Another Javanese term for Kenduri is slametan and the form is actually also implemented in other culture in different terms and procedures. Usually and oftenly, Kenduri is held as a part of death ceremony. But in other case it is also held, for example, Kenduri for the celebration of marriage and other important event including the disaster event.

The main point to held Kenduri is to pray for the safety and blessing to the God. The process of Kenduri is first the host prepares everything such as place and food, and then the host invites the kin, neighbors, colleagues, and spiritual figure or religious leader to guide the ceremony.

When the invited guests come, then the ceremony is started. The leader is also stands for a speaker who tells the host intention. After that, they began to pray together. After the prey process is finish, the host prepares the food to be eaten together. At this time, this even can be a medium of people to meet and share some stories and news.

To close the ceremony, the host gives the gift (souvenir and food in common) to all the guests of the ceremony. Sometimes, the host also gives some foods prepared in a box to the neighbor who cannot attend the ceremony. This ceremony is important to keep the harmony between people.

Questions 5 to 7 refers to the following text.

Björn Rune Borg was born on June 6, 1956, in Stockholm, Sweden, to parents Rune and Margarethe. Initially a hockey fan, Borg wasn't fond of tennis. At age 9 when his father brought home a tennis racket he had won as a prize in a ping-pong tournament.

Borg caught the attention of tennis coach Percy Rosberg and began making regular three-hour round-trip train rides to meet with the instructor. He won his first tournament at age 11, and at 13 he won both the 13-and 14-year-old divisions of the Sweden National Junior Championships. His career on the upswing, he dropped out of school to devote himself to training full time.

Borg qualified for the Swedish Davis Cup team at age 15 and won both of his singles matches. After becoming the 1972 Wimbledon junior champion and winning events in Berlin, Barcelona and Miami, he chose to be a professional tennis player.

Borg first rose to prominence at Wimbledon in 1973, when adoring female fans lined up to get a glimpse of the handsome, mysterious Swede. His long blond hair tucked beneath a headband, Borg featured a distinct playing style with his two-handed backhand and topspin-heavy ground strokes. He won his first tournament just days before his 18th birthday, and two weeks later he became the

youngest winner of the French Open

Questions 8 to 9 refers to the following text.

Faraday studied the magnetic field around a conductor carrying a DC electric current. While conducting these studies, Faraday established the basis for the electromagnetic field concept in physics, subsequently enlarged upon by James Maxwell. He similarly discovered electromagnetic induction, diamagnetism, and laws of electrolysis. He established that magnetism could affect rays of light and that there was an underlying relationship between the two phenomena. His inventions of electromagnetic rotary devices formed the foundation of electric motor technology, and it was largely due to his efforts that electricity became viable for use in technology.

As a chemist, Michael Faraday discovered benzene, investigated the clathrate hydrate of chlorine, invented an early form of the Bunsen burner and the system of oxidation numbers, and popularized terminology such as anode, cathode, electrode, and ion.

Although Faraday received little formal education and knew little of higher mathematics, such as calculus, he was one of the most influential scientists in history. Historians of science refer to him as the best experimentalist in the history of science. The SI unit of capacitance, the farad, is named after him, as is the Faraday constant, the charge on a mole of electrons (about 96,485 coulombs). Faraday’s law of induction states that magnetic flux changing in time creates a proportional electromotive force.

Faraday was the first and foremost Fullerian Professor of Chemistry at the Royal Institution of Great Britain, a position to which he was appointed for life.

Albert Einstein kept a photograph of Faraday on his study wall alongside pictures of Isaac Newton and James Clerk Maxwell.

Faraday was highly religious. He was a member of the Sandemanian Church, a Christian sect founded in 1730 that demanded total faith and commitment. Biographers have noted that a strong sense of the unity of God and nature pervaded Faraday’s life and work.

Question 10 refer to the following dialogue

Almaira : Hello? I'm calling about the two-bedroom rental you have advertised on the Home Base website. Is that still available?

Officer : Yes it is. If you'd like to see it , we can make an appointment for this afternoon.

Almaira : OK, but before I see it, I'd like a little more information. The ad said it was $1,500 a month, plus the first and last month rent in advance, plus a cleaning deposit. How much is the cleaning deposit? Also, how many bathrooms does it have?

Officer : It has two bathrooms, and the cleaning deposit is $500, half of which is non-refundable.
