Continued progress in advanced technology is
not necessary. Already the technical progress
in our world has caused severe pollution in the
air and in the water. Although the technical
progress in previous years has been helpful,
recent technology has significantly increased
pollution. Another reason to stop technical
progress is that many inventions which were
developed for good causes are now also used
for powerful weapons to have been found
have serious side effects. For example,
pesticide put inside particle boards to prevent
termites has now be found to be toxic to
human life. Technology does not always bring
good effects; for example, computers do much
work faster than man, but then man loses his
job to a machine. Because no man can
guarantee that technology will have only good
effects and will be used only for the benefit of
man, we should delay the continued
development of technology.
1. The text mainly tells us about ….
The advantage of technical progress in
our world
The necessity to delay technical progress
The development of technical progress to
fulfill human’s needs
The examples of negative impacts
caused by technical progress
The postponement of technical progress
due to negative impacts
2. Why should we postpone continuing
development of technology?
Because it brings good effects and bad
effects for us
Because human does not need it
anymore
Because no one can promise that
technology will be only used for prosperity
Because technology will create new
innovation that gives benefit to us
Because technical progress helps our job
3. “For example, pesticide put inside particle
boards to proscribe termites has now be found
to be toxic to human life” What does the word
"PROSCRIBE" mean?
prevent
authorize

The number of damaged roads linking Jakarta
with West Java has certainly provoked
complaints from locals and road users. Take
for an example, the roads in Bekasi and
Tangerang, which have been the focus of the
media.
The poor condition of these roads not only
jeopardizes road safety but also gives a
squalid impression. Moreover, the condition
will get worse when it rains. The roads are
transformed into water pools or puddles,
which can easily cause accidents if motorists
are not careful. No wonder if some people
question why there are so many damaged
roads and why repairs do not seem to last
long. The government should pay special
attention to these problems.
In my opinion, the road should be repaired
using the right sort of asphalt, stones an sand.
Repairs should be done carefully so that the
roads can be prevented from constant
damage. Otherwise, the repairs would be
useless.
Taken from : Jakarta Post, 2005
4. The main reason why local and road users
complain about the poor condition of roads in
Jakarta is ….
the roads become into water pools or
puddles in rainy season
there is no attention from the government
about the problem
it endangers road users when they pass
into these roads
the damaged roads are repaired by the
Government carelessly so they are easily
broken
the repairs of the roads need more time to
do
5. “The government should pay special
attention to these problems.” What does the
word "THESE" refer to?
The accidents occurred during rainy
season
The worse conditions during the rainy
season
The poor condition of the roads
The repair of the damaged roads
Complaints from locals and road users
6. What is the main idea of paragraph four?
Locals and road users complain to local
government about damaged roads in Jakarta
Damaged roads endanger the road users
The writer suggests the government to
repair the damaged roads carefully
There are some questions from people
about action to repair the roads
Repair of the roads is useless
