    B. A tour guide.

    C. The French.D. A resident.

    After spending 1 night in Manado I headed off to Bunaken on

    one of the public boats on Sunday. I had expected something like a

    ferry but it was actually a wooden boat full of locals and a whole

    lot of supplies heading to the Island.

    On the trip over I met French who had been to the Island twice

    before and said that he knew a nice place to stay and to do some

    diving. We arrived at the Sea breeze dive centre and were immediately

    greeted by a local who instantly picked me for an Australian.

    We worked out. What I thought was a fair deal for room for 4 days with the diving equipment. Even

    with a fair price diving was one of the most expensive sports I have undertaken whilst on my travels.

    Definitely one of the most worthwhile though.

    Bunaken was a small, quiet island which comprises of a local village and a row of dive

    centre offering food, accommodation and diving packages. The place I stayed at has a whole lot of

    bungalows and a restaurant, common area on the water edge, which was a very nice place to enjoy

    dinner and a few drinks.

    I had never been camping before I met my best friend,

    Jacklyn. I didnt know that camping meant sleeping out in

    nature, in a tent. I guess I didnt really think about it at all.

    We were off to a nearby campground. We drove in and

    paid for our site. It was beautiful. There were ducks and asmall lake and up on the hill there was a pool and small store

    if you needed anything.

    At dusk we lit our fire. It was very nice and pleasant.

    However I had a small allergy problem with mosquitoes. I

    hate bugs, and mosquitoes seem to be the worse, due to their

    stinging and being irritating. It was awful, but the camp fire

    was nice. Jacklyn told me about her camping stories. They

    were really interesting.

    After a full night of stories and fire, we settled in out the

    tent. We slept in our sleeping bags on the ground. To my

    surprise, the ground was not wet, and we had a small airmattress under us. Of course, the mattress wasnt as

    comfortable as mine at home but it was no problem.

    Then in the middle of the night I heard scuffling just out

    of our tent. I woke Jacklyn and I told her that there was a

    bear in our camp. She told me to just go back to sleep. I

    really didnt know that there were bears in local camp

    grounds.

    The next morning I woke to the same noises and found

    the culprit. It was ducks. I felt so stupid. To this day we still

    talked about my first camping trip.

    It was a very memorable experience.

    Read the text and answer questions 42 to 45.

    Andreas was a student of the University of Indonesia. Like

    many other students, he did not have much money because his

    grant was just enough to live on.

    Last year, during the semester holiday, he decided to go to

    Surabaya. He wanted to visit some friends there. Unfortunately,

    he could not afford a bus ticket, and even the train was too

    expensive. He, therefore, decided to hitchhike. He caught a bus

    to reach the highway and waited. It was a cold, rainy December

    day. While he was waiting, he got soaked to the skin.

    After waiting for hours, he finally got a lift from a truck

    driver, who was going to Surabaya. Andreas felt extremelyrelieved. The truck driver, a reasonably well-dressed man of

    around 35 seemed friendly. He and Andreas talked a lot.

    Suddenly, as they were driving along the highway, a police

    car raced past them and made them stop. They were taken to the

    police station because the police suspected that the truck was

    carrying stolen goods.

    Andreas was interrogated by a detective for two hours. He

    even had to spend the night in a cell. He was eventually released

    the next day. Apparently, the truck was carrying stolen

    television sets.

    47. What does the text tell you about?

    A. The stolen vehicle.

    B. The poor hitchhiker.

    C. The exciting holiday.

    D. The missing student.

    48. What is the main idea of the second paragraph?

    A. Andreas took a bus to get to the highway.

    B. Andreas went to Surabaya to spend his holiday.
