BEIJING, China (CNN) -- Human error was to blame for China's worst train accident

Text for questions 21 to 25.

Once upon a time, centuries ago, in Karo there was a beautiful girl called the Green Princess. The
fame of her beauty spread as far as Aceh to the West and the present state of Malaysia to the North.
And so will not be surprised when I tell you that she Sultan of Aceh was captivated by her beauty and
was determined that she would be his wife. However, even the Sultan had to join the queue of hopefuls
waiting for a chance to propose marriage to this beautiful princess. Day after day each man presented
himself to the princess, but she rejected each of them one by one.
The sultan was not used to being refused anything and so became very angry. In fact, he was so
upset that he sent his soldiers to force the princess to accept him in marriage. This was not very
civilized way of doing things, but love can make a man behave in strange ways. The princess however
was not the kind of woman surrendered easily. With the help of her brothers were a strange pair : one
was like cannon, the other like a dragon.
Day in a day out the the cannon-brothers launched bombs on the Sultans army. This went on for a
fortnight untul the cannon-brother overheated and broke into pieces. This way very unfortunate for the
princess as now she had no defender. Her dragon-brother, since he was a snapdragon was at sea. And
since dragons have to remain in the sea, he was unable to help his sister on Land. The result of all this
was that the Sultans army captured her princess and took her by sea to Aceh.
While on board the Sultans ship, the princess sobbed and cried. Hearing her sorrow, her dragonbrother came to the surface of the sea and snatched her for the hands of the soldiers. Imagine their
amazement at seeing the sea-dragon.
And what happened then to the Green Princess? I asked.
Her dragon-brother took her down beneath the waves. No one has ever seen her since.

Dear Upset

Dear Upset,
Little brothers and sisters can be annoying. Here is some advice that may help you.
First, talk to your mother about your felling so that she understands how upset you are. Do this at a time
when you are not angry with your little sister because you will make more sense when you speak.
Next, ask your little sister nicely to share the TV with you. She may cooperate as a result of your polite
behavior. However, if she doesnt want to talk with you, dont be angry. There would be no point arguing
with her. Instead, just walk away.

Text for questions 33 to 35.

Recent fuel prices have led to increase the prices of other services and commodities. The Jakarta
Post asked two media workers who spent a lot of their income on transportation expenses.
Sony Arianto Kurniawan, 28, is a media worker in JL. HR. Rasuna Said, South Jakarta. He lives in
Pasar Rebo, East Jakarta. I think the government is pretty smart raising fuel prices just before the
fasting month because people are normally more economical. But its impact on my daily transportation
expenditure is pretty steep. Later on, the increases will affect everything, including my food and clothing
expenditures:
Rusdianto, 30, is a reporter who works in Tebet, South Jakarta. He lives in Pondok Gede, Bekasi.
