My officemates and I went by plane to Makassar, the capital city of South South Sulawesi by Srivijaya Air from Soekarno-Hatta International Airport. The flight took approximately two hours, but please bear in mind that Makassar (GMT+8) is one hour ahead of Jakarta (GMT+7). We left Jakarta at 6 am (GMT+8) and arrived in Makassar at 7 am (GMT+7). It was a business trip and accordingly we need to stay in a hotel near Sultan Hassanudin International Airport in Makassar. We decided to stay in Dharma Nusantara Hotel II located at only 15 minutes from the airport. It's a nice hotel with a good-deal rate and near the airport.

We had dinner at Surya Super Crab Restaurant in downtown Makassar. The restaurant is fancy and really decent. The restaurant had a good reputation for providing many delicious, rich and tasteful dishes. We ordered black pepper crab, shrimp, and salads which really satisfied us that evening.

The next day, the weather was not perfect but it was quite fine for us to have an adventurous experience. Early in the morning we left the hotel and went to Losari beach.

Read the text to answer questions 31 to 34.

"Don't eat just before going to bed!" my mother used to tell me. "You might get a nightmare." How right she was. I never believed her until it happened to me.

It was on a night when I felt hungry just as I was about to go to bed. So I made myself a peanut-butter sandwich and a large cold glass of milk. After consuming them I went to bed.

Soon I drifted off into a troubled sleep. I dreamt that I was with a group of people looking for an old woman. I was not sure why we were looking for her but we all seemed afraid of her. Somehow we had to find her. So there I was, searching high and low for her in frightful places I had never been before. Sometimes I seemed to be flying while at other times I seemed unable to move. The whole atmosphere was one of fear, like a dreadful horror-movie in which I was a victim.

After some searching I entered a darkened room and saw a figure sleeping on a bed. As I got nearer the figure suddenly threw away the blanket, got up and stared at me. It was an ugly old woman with shiny golden teeth. She raised her claw-like fingers and walked towards me.

I wanted to run but was unable to. I tried to scream but found that I could not. In horror I struggled and struggled to get away from the frightful woman.

The next moment I gave a muffled yell and found myself panting on my bed. My goodness, what a horrible nightmare it was! For a minute or so I lay on my bed not daring to close my eyes for fear of falling asleep again and continuing the nightmare. Then I sat up on my bed until the horrible feeling passed. From then on I never eat just before going to sleep.

Soal UN SMP/MTs 2013

Read the text and answer questions 35 to 38. 

It was early in the morning we left Ubud and travelled to Gili Air which is one of three islands of Lombok. It took 4 hours in total by boat. The travelling was not bad but it was a hot day. I said to Jane on the slow boat " It`s alright babe, it won`t be so hot and stuffy once we get moving.”

When we got to Gili Air it was still quiet so we were able to get a bungalow near the beach for about $ 15 a night plus breakfast. We shared our room with quite a number of geckos. Some of them were quite large ones. The weather was still hot when I went diving. Jane waited for me at the seashore. She observed some fishermen who had just caught some fish. She did not want to dive because she had a trauma with sea animals. We had three days here which we spent walking around the island which takes about an hour. Every night, we sat on the couches near the beach and watched the waves and the stars. It was a fantastic journey that I ever had.
