What causes bulimia nervosa is not clear but it may be due to a combination of family history,
certain personality traits (such as perfectionism) and social values (such as admiring thinness). The risk
for developing bulimia intensifies if your parent or sibling has the condition. Stressful events such as
divorce or the death of a loved one can trigger bulimia in some people, mostly teenagers and young
women. Also, many young women have unhealthy attitudes toward eating and toward their bodies so
they may socially allow and promote destructive behaviors like extreme dieting or binging or purging.
If not properly treated it can cause many health problems. Health problems caused by bulimia
include electrolyte imbalances and heart problem, tooth decay, osteoporosis, dehydration and kidney
problem, inflammation, swollen saliva glands, fainting, abnormal heartbeat, low body temperature,
suicide risk, etc. There are also other mental health problems such as depression, anxiety, borderline
personality disorder, obsessive personality disorder, panic attacks and phobias.
Like all eating disorders, bulimia is a complex physical and psychological problem that
requires appropriate treatment. The treatment focuses on the change of behavior and deals with the
deeper attitudes and feeling in order to avoid binge-purge cycles. The treatment may be in form of
psychological counselling (such as cognitive-behavioral therapy CBT, or interpersonal therapy) or anti-
depressant medicine. Both are long-term treatments that may need weeks or months to work.
There are also other treatments which may be helpful. Nutritional counselling may help avoid
unhealthy diets. Group counselling may enhance individual therapy. Family therapy may also help
family member as it teaches about the disorder and the way to help; stress management techniques
(such as exercising, writing, relaxation) may also create better self-respect.

On the other hand, stereotyping can create problem because it, researchers suggest, may result
in racial discrimination. In its most overt form, racial discrimination occurs as we attribute the same
negative characteristics to all members of a group, regardless of individual differences. It is usually
based on misconceptions, incomplete information and false generalization.
Researchers have found that stereotypes exist of different races, cultures, or ethnic groups and
racial stereotypes always seem to favor the race of the holder, and belittle others. In 1933, Katz and
Braly gave a list of 84 personality traits and asked American university students to pick out five or six
traits which they thought were typical of each nationality or ethnic group. The result shows that there
was a considerable agreement in the traits selected. White Americans, for example, were seen as
industrious, progressive, and ambitious, while African Americans were seen lazy, ignorant, and
musical.
In other research, Lowrey examined just how readily people associate particular social groups
with certain kinds of feelings. In a subliminal word-association exercise, black people's faces were more
quickly associated with negative words, while white faces were linked with positive words.
Another research proves that even people who disavow prejudice can fall into racist traps.
Since negative stereotypes about various racial groups bombard us everyday in the mass media, they
deposit their residue deep into our minds. Even among the most well-intentioned and consciously
egalitarian people, nonconscious association about ethnic groups still have an effect on behavior and
attitudes.

Text 3
You really have to get very old before you realize you're old. I'm in my middle fifties and i
don't feel old yet. However, sometimes I look back at my childhood and __11__ things to the way life
is for today's kids. Some things have certainly changed.
One area of change is television. Some changes have been improvements. Some changes, on
the other hand, have been __12__.
When I started school, most people didn't have a television; TV was just beginning to get
popular. My father decided to go all out and buy a 16 inch black and white Motorolla set. I still
remembered watching The Lone Ranger save people from bad guys on that awesome electronic
machine. That was exciting.
Now televisions have larger pictures in full color. The pictures are clearer and the sound is
much more __13__. The new high definition sets are made to __14__ movie screens.
The variety and quantity of programming has increased greatly. There are hundreds of
channels and more shows than one person could ever watch. There are many fine entertainments and
educational shows. There's also a lot of garbage, stuff that most parents don't want their kids exposed
to. Overall, we have more choices, __15__ that is good. I wonder what television will be like when
today's kids are my age.
11. _____ However, sometimes I look back at my
(A) forget childhood and ___11__ things to the way life is for
(B) remember today’s kids. Some things have certainly changed.
(C) miss
(D) compare Makna kalimat tersebut adalah “Namun, terkadang
(E) decide saya melihat kembali masa kecil saya dan ___11__ hal-
hal seperti kehidupan anak-anak saat ini. Beberapa hal
sudah pasti berubah.”

Maka bisa kita ketahui bahwa subject “I” disitu

membandingkan masa kecilnya dengan kehidupan
anak2 sekarang.
Jadi vocabulary yang tepat adalah “compare”
 Forget  melupakan
 Remember  mengingat
 Miss  merindukan / kehilangan
 Decide  memutuskan
Jawaban: D
12. _____ One area of change is television. Some changes
(A) remark have been improvements. Some changes, on the other
(B) remarkable hand, have been __12__.
(C) remarkably
(D) remarked Makna dari kalimat tersebut adalah “Salah satu bidang
(E) remarks perubahannya adalah televisi. Beberapa perubahan
telah diperbaiki. Namun, beberapa perubahan telah
__12__.

Bagian yang ditanyakan pada kalimat “ some changes

have been ____” bertujuan untuk memperjelas
subjectnya “some changes” yang berupa “noun” maka
untuk memperjelas noun tersebut kita memerlukan
“adjective”
Subject + linking verb/to be + adjective
Jadi jawaban yang tepat adalah “remarkable”
Jawaban: B
13. _____ Now, television have larger pictures in full color. The
(A) real pictures are clearer and the sound is much more
(B) really __13__.
(C) realism
(D) reality Terdapat kata “more” seperti yang sudah kita ketahui:
(E) realistic
More/very/most/so + Adjective
 Kata sifat tersebut berfungsi untuk memperjelas
kata benda yang berkedudukan sebagai subject
yaitu “the sound”
 Makna kalimat tersebut adalah “suaranya lebih
seperti kenyataan (sama seperti asli)
 Maka jawaban yang tepat adalah “realistic”
(representing familiar things in a way that is
accurate or true to life.)
Jawaban: E
14. ___ The new high definition sets are made to __14__ movie
(A) rival screens.
(B) avoid  Makna dari kalimat etrsebut adalah “high
(C) combine definition set dibuat untuk ____ layar film.
(D) compose  Maka vocabulary yang tepat untuk kalimat
(E) complete tersebut adalah “rival”  menandingi (be or seem
to be equal or comparable to.)
 Avoid  menghindari (keep away from or
stop oneself from doing (something))
 Combine  mengkombinasikan (unite;
merge)
 Compose  menyusun (
write or create (a work of art, especially music
or poetry))
 Complete  melengkapi/menyelesaikan
(finish making or doing)
Jawaban: A
15. ______ There’s also a lot of garbage, stuff that most parents
(A) and don’t want their kids to be exposed to. Overall, we have
(B) because of more choices, __15__ that is good. I wonder what
(C) despite television will be like when today’s kids are my age.
(D) otherwise
(E) in order that  Overall, we have more choices, __15__ that is
good.
 Jawaban yang jelas salah adalah because of dan
despite karena harus diikuti noun/noun phrase.
Sedangkan setelah ___ that is good merupakan
klausa (S+P)
 And  dan
 Otherwise  jika tidak
 In order that  agar / supaya
 Makna kalimat tersebut adalah “Secara
keseluruhan, kami memiliki lebih banyak
pilihan, __15__ itu bagus.” Maka konjungsi
yang tepat adalah “and”
Jawaban: A
