Text 9 is for questions no. 41-4441. What is the text about?
Learning about a country’s culture, say America’s is important before we enter the culture.
You know, America tend to speak directly. When they disagree with someone, foe example, they will directly express that. It is different from us. We tend to be indirect when saying about what we want.
Second, differences in dealing with personal distance. Well, Americans tend to require more personal than we do, which means they don’t like standing too close to the people they are speaking to. This might be offending, but actually…it’s an Americans custom. When someone feels you are standing too close, he or she may step back without even thinking about it.
Be careful, we should also consider our conversation topics, especially when we meet them for the first time. For example, we Indonesians tend to be friendly by asking one’s personal data like age, previous or current relationship the first time we meet him/her. It’s normal for us, isn’t it? However for Americans, it’s considered impolite, especially when ask about age, like “How old are you?” previous or current relationship, for example, “Do you have a girl friend?”, “Are you married?”, appearance or weight, for example “What’s your weight?” and “You look so fat now, do you gain much weight?” etc.

Text 10 is for questions no. 45-4745. What is the text about?
The ethical issue about cheating is perhaps as old as education it self. The whole discussing generally ends with the question of whether cheating or letting others to cheat us during an exam is ethically wrong. Concerning the latter, there have been two opposing sides of opinion.
Some people say that letting other to cheat is ethically right. They say they need to help one another. If other people let us copy their works, then there is a good reason to give similar assist to them. They also argue that if they can not do a test, that is not any way their fault. In fact, they don’t believe the test. Tests according to them mean nothing. So cheating doesn’t matter at all.
Meanwhile, those oppose the practice ‘mutual cheating’ regard the habits as unacceptable, and will do not good to others. They say people will not learn for themselves if we always allow them to cheat us. Cheating each other’s work will make everyone get similar results and that sort of results will certainly be misleading. They who do not agree with letting other to cheat believe in helping themselves and argue others to do their own work.
