Part 3 Read the text below and answer questions 17 to 24. BITTEN! Date: 4 May Dear Diary, Today I was discharged from the hospital after being warded for a fortnight due to dengue fever. Dengue is a viral disease transmitted by the female Aedes mosquitoes. I will not forget the effects it had on me. I practically cheated death. Thank God I’m alive today. I was running a high temperature with headaches which were so unbearable. Even the back of my eyes ached. I could not lift my legs as there was extreme pain on the joints. Sometimes, I vomitted. The nurses and doctors gave me good care. They were worried because my fever was erratic. I was asked to sleep under a mosquito-net and they came and checked on me frequently. Thanks to the doctors and nurses, I’m fine now and back home.

Part 4 Read the text and answer questions 25 to 34.

When I was at school, I played some football and rugby. I hated rugby because I couldn’t catch the ball, but I enjoyed football. I started out being a terrible player and nobody wanted me to be on their team. But I started to improve slowly and, after a few years, the other kids in the school accepted me as a player, not a fantastic one, but one who wouldn’t do anything stupid. When I was at university, I stopped playing sports altogether. I was working too hard, started eating too much, and, worst of all, I started smoking. By the time I was thirty, I was overweight and unfit. Then one day, I was sitting in the park, smoking a cigarette. I was watching these guys running. They looked slim, fit and healthy, and some of them were much older than me. When I got home, I looked in the bathroom mirror and, well, I suppose I just didn’t like what I saw. At that moment, I decided to stop smoking and change my life. I went to a sports shop, bought myself a pair of trainers, shorts and a sweatshirt. That evening I went running around the park – for ten minutes! Physically, I felt terrible. Everything was hurting: my legs, my chest. But inside, I did feel good about it. The next evening, I went again. I still only did ten minutes, but I didn’t feel as I bad as I did the day before. Within a week, I was running for fifteen minutes, then twenty, and after three weeks I ran for thirty minutes without stopping. Quite soon, I was running longer distances and my speed and strength were improving all the time. After six months, I was a runner! That was five years ago. I now run eight kilometres six times a week and love it. My proudest moment was last year, when I ran my first marathon and finished in under three hours. I’m fitter now than I’ve ever been, and am so glad that I went to sit in the park that day five years ago.

TERHAD TINGKATAN 3 (MAC 2019) Part 5 Questions 35 - 40 You are going to read a newspaper article about politeness. Six sentences have been removed from the article. Choose from the sentences (A - H) to fit each gap (35 - 40). There are two extra sentences which you do not need to use. For each question, mark the correct answer (A - H) on your answer sheet.

Politeness By Willy Wiedenmyer It's really true what people say about English politeness: it's everywhere. When squeezing past someone in a narrow space, people say 'sorry'.

35

In

Germany, people would never dream of doing this: bus drivers are just doing their job!

I used to think the German way, until I was in Britain for a few years. I understood that there were more polite ways of treating people and I began to adopt some of those ways too!

When people buy something in a shop, both customer and shop assistant usually thank each other, twice or more.

36

British students thank their lecturers when

leaving the room. English employers thank their employees for doing their jobs, but Germans think that paying their workers money is already thanks enough!

37

One word that comes to mind here is 'artificial'. Although it is

enjoyable to talk with friendly people, it has often made me wonder what the English really think.

38

Everyone at the University I attended seemed to like me

and people in my class were kind and friendly.

39

I must say that British politeness is a little puzzling to me.

40

And then

I think: maybe, drinking is a good excuse for being rude once in a while. After all, having to be polite all the time can be stressful, right?

A

For example, I often wonder why the English lose it when they drink too much.

B

When getting off a bus, English passengers say 'thank you' to the driver.

C

In Germany, it would be unusual to hear more than one ‘thank you’ in such a conversation.

D

However, I found it hard to understand who was really my friend and who was ‘just being polite’.

E

Their politeness is awkward.

F

But there is another side to British politeness.

G

In fact, this confused me throughout my stay in England.

H

The British are pretty friendly people.
