TRADE FOR THE GOOD THINGS IN LIFE

One person has vegetables, but wants fruit. Another man has a great deal of fruit, but want some vegetables. So the first man gives some of his vegetables to the second, and the second man gives some of his fruit to the first. He has exchanged the vegetables for the fruit. They are happy now. Trade has made them happy.
People have always traded. Why have they traded? They have traded because they have wanted a better life. At first people exchanged their things for other things. Now people buy and sell things – they trade for money.
Many foreigners have come to Indonesia for trade. The first traders came for spices. That was for very long time ago. Now the traders come here for many other things.
History has shown us that a country has to trade if its people want a better life. Indonesia is trying hard to improve its trade. It sells many things to other countries but the most important things are oil, rubber, tin and copra.
What has trade to other countries brought us? It has brought the things that we do not make. The cars that we drive, the tarin that we ride in, and the watches that we wear are examples of this things. It is not hard to understand that they have made life better.
But we can trade only if we have more things than we need. So we have to make or produce more things to sell. We have to produce more oil, more rubber, more tin, and more of other things. We have to produce better things, too, because we can get more money for them. All this means hard work for us, hard work at school, hard work at the office, hard work in the city, hard work in the country, hard work everywhere. By this way we can all enjoy the good things in life.

The main idea of the sixth paragraph is ....
A.
how to study hard
B.
how to enjoy our life
C.
how to improve our trade
D.
how to produce more things
E.
how to work in our country

Trappists are monks who are not allowed to preach or teach. Their lives are devoted to meditation, studying adn reading
In 1949, one group of Trappists fled to Hongkong from China, leaving behind their house and their dairy industry. They dressed themselves as labourers and carried only a few possessions.
Here, the monks had to start a new life. They found it difficult to obtain food and they had nowhere to live; but somehow they managed with the help of the community and charitable organization. It was not until 1995 that Hongkong government granted them land on Lantao island.
The monks are not allowed to beg for a living, so they had to work very hard on the island. They started a dairy farm, kept about five hundred chicken and started growing their own vegetables.
A large part of the work of Trappists is concerned with their dairy. The cows are fed regularly, milked and kept healthly. The dairy, which produces about two thousand bottles of milk a day, brings the monks their main income. The monks sell about half of the milk to a large hotel in Hongkong, while hospitals and schools buy the rest. The monks also earn some money by selling eggs. Sometimes, the Trappists sell some of their cattle. The monks themselves do not eatr meat, however, as they are vegetarians.

The monks who never preach or teach.
B.
The Trappists on Lantao island.
C.

Nobody likes paying taxes. Even those who know that taxation is necessary ang just are reluctant to pay taxes. It is not pleasant to see parts of your monthly income taken away from you income tax. Ignorant people think this an injustice And make a grievance of it ; so it is just as well that we should know why we are taxed, so that we can see the fairness of the system.

Now where is all another. For whose benefits are all the service maintained? the question is answered the benefit by security of life and property, by sound administration of justice, by the maintaince of roads, by the public hospital, public school, and good sanitation. Therefore it is only right that the public, the individual citizens of the country should contribute the money neeeded; for the money they gives comes back to them in the shape of shape of these public benefits which all njoy.
So long, therefore, as we have a good and effecient government, so long as our money is being used in the right way, and so long as the burden of taxation is distributed faitly, as different classes can bera it, we have no right to grumble at having to pay our share of taxes.
