Rabbit and Bear

Once upon a time, there lived as neighbors, a


bear and a rabbit. The rabbit is a good shot. In contrary,
the bear is always clumsy and could not use the arrow to
good advantage.
Narrative text - bos-sulap.blogspot.com
One day, the bear called over the rabbit and
asked the rabbit to take his bow and arrows and came
with bear to the other side of the hill. The rabbit feared to
arouse the bear's anger so he could not refuse it. He
consented and went with the bear and shot enough
buffalo to satisfy the hungry family. Indeed he shot and
killed so many that there was lots of meat left after the
bear and his family had loaded themselves and packed
all they could carry home. narrative text - bossulap.blogspot.com

The bear was very gluttonous and did not want


the rabbit to get any of the meat. The rabbit could not
even taste the blood from the butchering as the bear
would throw earth on the blood and dry it up. The poor
rabbit would have to go home hungry after his hard day's
work. narrative text - bossulap.blogspot.com
The bear was the father of five children. The
youngest child was very kind to the rabbit. He was very
hearty eater. The mother bear always gave him an extra
large piece of meat but the youngest child did not eat it.
He would take it outside with him and pretended to play
ball with the meat. He kicked toward the rabbit's house
and when he got close to the door he would give the
meat with such a great kick. The meat would fly into the
rabbit's house. In this way, the poor rabbit would get his
meal unknown to the papa bear.

Lutung Kesarung

PRABU Tapa Agung was an old king. He had


two daughters, Purbararang and Purbasari. Prabu Tapa
Agung planned to retire as a king. He wanted Purbasari
to replace him as the leader of the kingdomHearing this,
Purbararang was angry. "You cannot ask her to be the
queen, Father. I'm older than she is. It's supposed to be
me, not her!" said Purbararang. But the king still chose
Purbasari to be the next queen. Purbararang then set a
bad plan with her fiance, Indrajaya. Together they went
to a witch and asked her to put a spell on Purbasari.
Later, Purbasari had bad skin. There were black dots all
over her body. "You are not as beautiful as I am. You
cannot be the queen. Instead, you have to leave this
palace and stay in a jungle," said Purbararang. Purbasari
was very sad. Now she had to stay in the jungle.
Everyday she spent her time playing with some animals
there.
There was one monkey that always tried to
cheer her up. It was not just an ordinary monkey, he had
magical power. And he also could talk with humans. The
monkey's name was Lutung Kasarung. He was actually a
god. His name was Sanghyang Gurumina.
Lutung Kasarung planned to help Purbasari. He
made a small lake and asked her to take a bath there.
Amazingly, her bad skin was cured. Now she got her
beautiful skin back. After that, she asked Lutung
Kasarung to accompany her to go back to the palace.
Purbararang was very shocked. She knew she
had to come up with another bad idea. She then said,

"Those who have longer hair will be the queen." The


king then measured his daughters' hair. Purbasari had
longer hair. But Purbararang did not give up. "A queen
must have a handsome husband. If my fiance is more
handsome than yours, then I will be the queen," said
Purbararang.
Purbasari was sad. She knew Purbararang's
fiance, Indrajaya, was handsome. And she did not have a
fiance yet. "Here is my fianc, Indrajaya. Where is
yours?" asked Purbararang. Lutung Kasarung came
forward. Purbararang was laughing very hard. "Your
fiance is a monkey, ha ha ha." Suddenly, Lutung
Kasarung changed into a very a handsome man. He was
even more handsome than Indrajaya. Purbasari then
became the queen. She forgave Purbararang and her
fiance and let them stay in the palace.

her step sister, Bawang Merah. Bawang Putih's mother
died when she was a baby. Her father remarried another
woman and later her step sister was born. Unfortunately,
not long after that her father died. Since then, Bawang
Putih's life was sad. Her step mother and her step sister
treated Bawang Putih badly and always asked her to do
all the household chores. One morning, Bawang Putih
was washing some clothes in a river. Accidentally, her
mother's clothes were washed away by the river. She was
really worried so she walked along the river side to find
the clothes. Finally she met an old woman. She said that
she kept the clothes and would give them back to
Bawang Putih if she helped the old woman do the
household chores. Bawang Putih helped her happily.
After everything was finished, the old woman returned
the clothes. She also gave Bawang Putih a gift. The old
woman had two pumpkins, one pumpkin was small and
the other one was big. Bawang Putih had to choose one.
Bawang Putih was not a greedy girl. So she
took the small one. After thanking the old woman,
Bawang Putih then went home. When she arrived home,
her step mother and Bawang Merah were angry. They
had been waiting for her all day long. Bawang Putih then
told about the clothes, the old woman, and the pumpkin.
Her mother was really angry so she grabbed the pumpkin
and smashed it to the floor. Suddenly they all were
surprised. Inside the pumpkin they found jewelries.
"Bawang Merah, hurry up. Go to the river and throw my
clothes into the water.
After that, find the old woman. Remember, you
have to take the big pumpkin," the step mother asked
Bawang Merah to do exactly the same as Bawang Putih's
experience. Bawang Merah immediately went to the
river. She threw the clothes and pretended to search

she asked Bawang Merah to do household chores. She
refused and asked the old woman to give her a big
pumpkin. The old woman then gave her the big one.

When she arrived home, her mother was impatient. She
directly smashed the pumpkin to the floor. They were
screaming. There were a lot of snakes inside the
pumpkin! They were really scared. They were afraid the
snakes would bite them. "Mom, I think God just
punished us. We had done bad things to Bawang Putih.
And God didn't like that. We have to apologize to
Bawang Putih," said Bawang Merah. Finally both of
them realized their mistakes. They apologized and
Bawang Putih forgave them. Now the family is not poor

Duck and turtle

Two ducks that lived in a big lake had a friend


who was a turtle. One year there was a very little rain
and the lake began to dry up. One of the ducks said to the
other, Soon, therell be no water in this lake. Lets go
and look for lake.
Yes, answered the second duck, But first lets
say good bye to our friend, the turtle.
When they told the turtle they were going to
leave, he said, Ill die here without any water and
without any friends. Take me with you.
The ducks answered, We cant. We are going
to fly, and you have no wings.
The turtle thought for a minute and then said,
please wait here.
Then he went away and found a strong, straight
stick. He brought it back to his friends, put the middle of
it in his mouth and said, Now if each of you takes me
one end of the stick in his mouth, you can lift me up and
carry me with you.
That is dangerous, said the ducks, if you try
to talk while were carrying you through the air, you
wont be able to hold the stick, so youll fall down along
way and break your shell.
All right, answered the turtle, I promise not
to talk while were in the air. So the ducks took the stick
and flew away, with the turtle between them. All went
well until they were flying over a town. Then some
people saw them and shouted, Look, those ducks are
carrying a cat! The turtle got very angry, A cat? Im
not he said, but he did not get any further, because
when he opened his mouth, the stick came out of his
mouth and the poor turtle fell to the ground.

powerful knights. They were very cruel and liked to

One night when the people of Jonahs village
were sleeping, the Syrian knights attacked his village.
They burned down the houses. One of them threw a
torch into Jonahs house. Jonahs house was on fire.
Jonah and his parents avoided the fire burning their
house. They saved themselves by climbing a ladder to
the upstairs. It was too high for them to jump down to
the ground from the upstairs. Jonahs father took a rope
to get down from the stairs to the ground. They escaped
to another village.

HERMIT

Many years ago, there lived a hermit in a forest


in Sumatra. He did not grow food but depended on the
jungle fruit to survive. Soon, there was a drought, and all
the plants and fruit trees in the jungle died.
The old man had nothing to eat now, so he
turned to begging. He went to a nearby village trying to
get some food. At first, the villagers were happy to help
him. However, when he came continually, they refused
to give him any more food. They told him to grow his
own food.
One day, while the hermit was sitting in his hut,
sad and hungry, he began to think about growing his own
Bimbel SD SMP dan SMA -- AQILA COURSE

food. Just then, a boatman stopped by and taking a pity


on hermit gave him some paddy seeds.
Before the boatman went away, he said, These
seeds will grow and give you everlasting harvest if you
work very hard. If you are tired of the work, the paddy
plants will turn into weeds.
The old hermit worked hard to clear the land
and sowed the seeds before the rain came. Strangely,
after a short period of time, the paddy was ready for
harvesting. The old man got a lot of rice from the
harvest. After each harvest, the plants grew back again
right away.
When the villagers heard about the hermit and
his wonderful paddy, they flocked to his paddy field
and took home as much paddy as they could.
One day, hermit became so tired of harvesting
the paddy then he shouted, Oh, stop growing, you
wretched thing! As soon as he had said this, the
paddy plants turned into weeds.

Visiting Bali

There were so many places to see in Bali that


my friend decided to join the tours to see as much as
possible. My friend stayed in Kuta on arrival. He spent
the first three days swimming and surfing on Kuta beach.
He visited some tour agents and selected two tours. The
first one was to Singaraja, the second was to Ubud. On
the day of the tour, he was ready. My friend and his
group drove on through mountains. Singaraja is a city of
about 90 thousands people. It is a busy but quiet town.
The street is lined with trees and there are many old
Dutch houses. Then they returned very late in the
evening to Kuta. The second tour to Ubud was a very
different tour. It was not to see the scenery but to see the
art and the craft of the island. The first stop was at
Batubulan, a center of stone sculpture. There my friend
watched young boys were carving away at big blocks of
stone. The next stop was Celuk, a center for silversmiths
and goldensmiths. After that he stopped a little while for
lunch at Sukawati and on to mass. Mass is a tourist

Bus was Flowing Right behind Me

I stayed a night at Sakhuwa of Gati VDC


because a landslide near Baseri had blocked the road,
The next morning, I hopped onto the bus with
registration number Ba 2 Kha 4013 that was on the way
to Barhabise from Tatopani.
I took a seat by the doorside and remember that
there were around 35 passengers, including me. The
driver started the bus. A kilometer into the journey, I
noticed a ditch on the road.
The driver tried to avert the ditch. Before I could know
what was going on, the bus started hurtling towards the
Bhotekoshi.
I had given up hope of surviving, but found a
ventilator glass broken. I came out of the shattered glass
and plunged into the Bhotekoshi.
The river carried me for about 35 kilometers
and left me on the shallow surface. I passed out after
that. The rescuers took me to a hospital when I regained
consciousness.
I heard later that all except four passengers had
survived. I have sustained injuries on the face, hands and

Taj Mahal
Taj Mahal is regarded as one of the eight
wonders of the world. It was built by a Muslim Emperor
Shah Jahan in the memory of his dear wife at Agra.
Taj Mahal is a Mausoleum that houses the grave
of Queen Mumtaz Mahal.
The mausoleum is a part of a vast complex
comprising of a main gateway, an elaborate garden, a
mosque (to the left), a guest house (to the right), and
several other palatial buildings. The Taj is at the farthest
end of this complex, with the river Jamuna behind it. The
Taj stands on a raised, square platform (186 x 186 feet)
with its four corners truncated, forming an unequal
octagon.
The architectural design uses the interlocking
arabesque concept, in which each element stands on its
own and perfectly integrates with the main structure. It
uses the principles of self-replicating geometry and a
symmetry of architectural elements. Its central dome is
fifty-eight feet in diameter and rises to a height of 213
feet. It is flanked by four subsidiary domed chambers.
The four graceful, slender minarets are 162.5
feet each. The central domed chamber and four adjoining
chambers include many walls and panels of Islamic
decoration. Taj Mahal is built entirely of white marble.
Its stunning architectural beauty is beyond adequate
description, particularly at dawn and sunset. The Taj
seems to glow in the light of the full moon. On a foggy
morning, the visitors experience the Taj as if suspended
when viewed from across the Jamuna river.

My Cat Gregory

Gregory is my beautiful gray Persian cat. He


walks with pride and grace, performing a dance of
disdain as he slowly lifts and lowers each paw with the
delicacy of a ballet dancer. His pride, however, does not
extend to his appearance, for he spends most of his time
indoors watching television and growing fat.
He enjoys TV commercials, especially those for
Meow Mix and 9 Lives. His familiarity with cat food
commercials has led him to reject generic brands of cat
food in favor of only the most expensive brands.
Gregory is as finicky about visitors as he is
about what he eats, befriending some and repelling
others. He may snuggle up against your ankle, begging
to be petted, or he may imitate a skunk and stain your
favorite trousers. Gregory does not do this to establish
his territory, as many cat experts think, but to humiliate
me because he is jealous of my friends.
After my guests have fled, I look at the old

Controlling children using computer
Computer and internet are useful as well as
powerful. Information about health and safe usage of
computer and Internet, especially for children, should be
owned by each family. Computer connected to internet is
powerful way to socialize with others. It can be good but
also bad effect. Recently we hear a lot of children get the
advantage of social networking sites but we often see the
news about the disadvantage of it for children. Healthy
and safety of computer and Internet usage should
continue to be campaigned.
The role of parent in assisting and directing
children in using computer is very necessary. Installation
of software monitor such as key logger which has
function to watch and note all activities relating to
keyboard usage is helpful but not enough to protect
children from potential harms. Children tend to hide
what they have done in front of the computer to their
parent. They see that all of they have done are their
privacy and no one may know.
We can not prevent children from using
computer because it is multifunctional. However, many
parents worry about what their kids do in front of the
computer; whether they are doing homework or even just
playing games. Or spending all time to surf internet
which is the materials do not fit with his age. There is a
tendency, especially teenagers, want to become
acquainted with many strangers out side. The lack
parental supervision of children's activities is likely to
pose a potential danger to them. So parental monitor
against the use of computers needs to be done from time
to time.

Learning English
Why is Learning English Important? Language
is the mean of communication. Mostly groups of society
have their own languages. Some of them appear the top
global languages. Most people in the world hear about
English, Arabic, and Mandarin. However English is the
most global spoken language. Then if a man wants to
catch a global goal, he has to master English.
Everyone recognize that English is an
international language. English is used in writing and
speaking by many people all over the world. It can be
either as a first or second language. We even hear
British, American, Australian, and even Singaporean
English. Those various names of English are used as the
first language in those countries.
Furthermore, some countries have their own
languages as a mother language but also use English
mostly in daily communication. Besides usage in daily
interaction, English is also used as a key to open doors
leading to scientific and technical knowledge. No
wonder we find manual guides and instructions of many
devices written in English. Even if we have a pack of
instant noodle, we will see the cooking instruction also
written in English. This transfer of science and technical
will include many countries in economic, social and
politics development.
Finally, the most easily seen in the importance
of learning English is that most top requirement in filling
job opportunities is the ability using English; active or
passive. Job applicants who master English are more
favorable than ones who do not. The above facts prove
that everybody needs to learn English if he likes to greet
the global era.

Opportunity in the global crisis

US. financial crisis and its contagion to Europe


and the rest of the world could also create new
opportunity for Indonesia in term of foreign direct
investment and the development of basic infrastructure.
As the US. financial crisis has now spread to
Europe, the oil-rich countries such as Saudi Arabia,
Kuwait and Arab Emirate which have accumulated
hundreds of billion of Dollars in their foreign reserve, are
now reviewing their holding or investment vehicle. They
are looking for more diversified investment outside the
US and Europe.
Because of unfavorable political developments
in Thailand and Malaysia over the past few months,
Indonesia which has largely Muslim population could
become one of these oil-rich countries' favorite place for
foreign direct investment. That will be true if the
conditions, legal and market infrastructures are
conducive for Islamic financial instruments.
The government had improved the legal
framework with the recent act of laws on sharia banking
and bonds. The long term nature of Islamic bonds could
make them the most suitable investment instrument for
Indonesia, as these bonds grant an investor a share in an
asset along with the cash flows and risks commensurate
with such ownership.
The financial crisis that has gripped the globe
and weakening economic growth in the rest of the world
will serve to the government to accelerate the investment
reform measures in order to grab the hidden opportunity

The power of music in our life


Do you agree that music is important in our
life? Yes I do, music has certain role completing our day
to day activities. Here are some reasons why music is
heard everywhere and anywhere. Music is a way to
express feelings. When we fall in love, the kind of music
wed listen to would be all about love. When were sad,
we would go for music that is melancholic in nature and
immerse ourselves in the sadness.
When were happy, wed choose songs with
happy tunes too. Song can help to memorize the last
experiences. A favorite song is a powerful documentary.
People with Alzheimer which are impaired the brain
would remember details about songs they were familiar
with. For example, an elderly woman who couldnt even
remember her husbands name would remember the
details of her favorite song; when it was played, how it
made her feel and things about the song that made it
especially memorable for her. Further, music can unite
people for a cause and changes the world. A song with
good lyric and striking deep chord can stimulate the
universal feeling of all people. We can see it in the case
of the famous and legendary Michael Jacson's Heal the
World. It can arouse humanism of a lot people in this
world. So what would the world be like without music?
It would be lonely.

Watch your Kids While Watching TV

Television becomes one of the most important


devices which takes place in almost houses. It can unite
all members of the family as well as separate them.
However, is it important to know what your kids are
watching? The answer is, of course, absolutely "Yes"
and that should be done by all parents. Television can
expose things you have tried to protect the children from,
especially violence, pornography, consumerism and so
on.
Recently, a study demonstrated that spending
too much time on watching TV during the day or at
bedtime often cause bed-time disruption, stress, and
short sleep duration.
Another research found that there is a significant
relationship between the amount of time spent for
watching television during adolescence and early
adulthood, and the possibility of being aggressive.
Meanwhile, many studies have identified a relationship
between kids who watch TV a lot and being inactive and
overweight.

More dust bins is cleaner
To improve comfort and cleanliness at the
school, there should be an increasing number of dust
bins.
When we look at classroom, school corridors
and schoolyard, there papers, mineral water cops, straws,
and napkin everywhere. The condition of unseemliness
really hinders learning and teaching environment. They
can be filled out with water coming from the rain. This
can be placed for mosquito to spread out.
Anyway I notice that most of the students have
responsibilities for their school environment. They put
their litter on the proper place but some of them are not
diligent enough to find the dust bins. The numbers of the
dust bins in the school are not enough. More dust bins
should be put beside each step, outside of the classrooms
and some along of the corridors. Probably one dust bin
should be in every ten meters. So when students want to
throw away their litters, they can find the dust bins
easily.
When school is equipped with sufficient dust
bins, students do not have problem of discomfort any
more. So provide more dust bins and school will be very
clean and become a very nice place to study.

Gesang Should Hold A National Hero Status


"Those who don't learn from history are
condemned to repeat it" and "A great nation is one which
fully appreciates its heroes." say popular English
aphorism and national adage. Then, proposing an
important person who has taken a role in our nation
history is important. I think Gesang should be a national
hero.
Who have never heard Bengawan Solo song? I
doubt it if there is. This keroncong song has been a part
of national voices. Gesang is a senior composer whose
songs gained fame all the way to Japan. He has received
a number of awards in art and everyone will admit that
his art talent was dedicated to this nation.
Government has declared the other great
composer; WR. Suratman and Ismail Marzuki as national
Heroes. Gesang might not be compared to others, but in
my opinion, Gesang is as great as them. All of them are
maestros. Due to his keroncong music maestro, Gesang
has taken a role in building our national identity.
It is obvious that government should name
Gesang National Hero. We should not delay and wait
for, in case, our neighbor countries or other international
communities go a head to recognize him and grant an
award for what he deserves.

Bear killed old man at yellow Stone Park
A grizzly bear killed a 57-year-old man hiking
in Yellowstone National Park with his wife Wednesday.
It's the first fatal bear mauling in the park since 1986.
The bears involved in Wednesday's encounter
have not been captured, and park officials said they did
not immediately have enough information to determine
what measures, if any, they might take in the aftermath
of the attack.
According to the AP, Yellowstone National
Park is home to at least 600 grizzly bears, though some
say the population is over 1,000. While the attack is the
first fatal mauling in the park since 1986, it's the third in
the region in little over a year.
A National Park Service statement said the
couple surprised the mother grizzly while with her cubs,
and that the grizzly fatally mauled the man in "an
attempt to defend a perceived threat to her cubs."

Photosynthesis

What is photosynthesis? Photosynthesis is a


food-making process that occurs in green plants. It is the
chief function of leaves. The word photosynthesis means
putting together with light. Green plants use energy from
light to combine carbon dioxide and water to make sugar
and other chemical compounds.
How is the light used in photosynthesis?
The light used in photosynthesis is absorbed by
a green pigment called chlorophyll. Each food-making
cell in a plant leaf contains chlorophyll in small bodies
called chloroplasts. In chloroplast, light energy causes
water drawn form the soil to split into hydrogen and
oxygen.
What are the steps of photosynthesis process?
Let me tell you the process of photosynthesis, in a series
of complicated steps, the hydrogen combines with
carbon dioxide from the air, forming a simple sugar.
Oxygen from the water molecules is given off in the
process. From sugar together with nitrogen, sulphur, and
phosphorus from the soil-green plants can make starch,
fat, protein, vitamins, and other complex compounds
essential for life. Photosynthesis provides the chemical
energy that is needed to produce these compounds.

Mangrove
A mangrove is a tropical marine tree.
Mangroves have special aerial roots and salt-filtering tap
roots which enable them to thrive in brackish water.
Brackish water is salty but not as salty as sea water.
Mangrove trees are commonly planted and found in
coastal areas. Mangroves can serve as walls of protection
for natural disaster in coastal area like tsunami.
According to BBC News, healthy mangrove forests had
helped save lives in the Asia disaster tsunami and people
tended to respect these natural barriers even more,
especially after the tsunami.
There are several species of mangrove tree
found all over the world. Some prefer more salinity,
while others like to be very-close to a large fresh water
source such as river. Some prefer areas that are sheltered
from waves. Some species have their roots covered with
sea water every day during high tide. Other species grow
on dry land but are still part of the ecosystem. The Times
of India reported that rare species of mangrove had been
found and was also known as the looking-glass tree,
probably because the leaves are silver-coated.
Mangroves need to keep their trunk and leave
above the surface of the water. Yet they also need to be
firmly attached to the ground so they are not moved by
waves.
Any part of root that appears above the water
flows oxygen to the plant under water surface. as the soil
begin to build up, these roots procedure additional roots
that become embedded in the soil.

Human body energy
Human body is actually a living machine and is
like all other machines. This living machine needs fuel to
supply it with energy. The fuel is provided by the food
which we eat. However do we know how much we need
to stay healthy?
The energy value of food is usually measured in
calories. A calorie is the amount of heat which is
required to raise the temperature of 1 kg of water by 1
degree C. The number of calories which people need per
day varies. It depends on the activity which the people
are involved in. For example; people will need more
calories for standing than for sitting, people need more
for running than for walking, etc.
The energy which is provided by food is in the
form of three kinds of chemical substances. They are
carbohydrate, protein and fat. Carbohydrate provides 8.8
calories per gram (cal/gm) of energy, protein 4.0 cal/gm
and fat 8.0 cal/gm. Each food contains different
proportion of these substances. These three chemical
substances are all important for body staying healthy.

Types of Volcanic Eruptions
Volcanic eruptions have caused some of the
worst disasters in the world. They can wipe out entire
cities and kill thousands of people.
The name of volcano comes from Roman term.
It derives from VULCAN which is the name of Roman
fire god. Romans believed that Vulcan lived on a
volcanic Italian coast. Romans called the island
VULCANO.

UN SMA INGGRIS 1

According to scientists, volcanic eruptions are


divided in to four basic groups. They are commonly
known as Hawaiian, Strombolian, Vulcanian and
Peleean. The term of Hawaiian eruptions are named after
the volcanoes in Hawaii. These volcanic eruptions are
the least violent type. They produce highly fluid lava
which flows quietly. This gradually builds up a shield
volcano.
Strombolian eruptions are named after
Stromboli. These result from the constant release of gas
from the magma. As the gas escapes, it produces tephra
that piles up, turning into a cinder cone. Strombolian
eruptions happen when sticky magma plugs the central
vent. This makes the magmatic gas build up pressure
until it blasts. The magma is turned into volcanic dust
and bombs.
Vulcanian eruption which comes from the
ancient Roman belief, are more violent than the
strombolian eruption. Vulcanian eruption happens and
brings magma which is more viscous. Vulcanian
explosions are usually larger and noisier than the
Strombolian eruptions.
Paleean eruptions are famous as the most
violent kind of volcanic eruptions. The name of paleean
comes from the eruption of Mount Pelee, Martinique in
1902. It killed almost 38 thousands people. A Peleean
eruption occurs when the magmatic gas build up
tremendous pressure. This causes violent explosions with
glowing clouds of hot ash and dust.

Komodo Dragon
Do you know what the largest lizard is? This
lizard is called komodo. It lives in the scrub and
woodland of a few Indonesian islands.
Komodo dragon is the world's heaviest lizard,
weighing 150 pounds or more. The largest Komodo ever
measured was more than 10 feet (3 meters) long and
weighed 366 pounds (166 kg) but the average size of
komodo in the wild is about 8 feet (2.5 meters) long and
200 pounds (91 kg)
Komodo has gray scaly skin, a pointed snout,
powerful limbs and a muscular tail. They use their keen
sense of smell to locate decaying animal remains from

Bimbel SD SMP dan SMA -- AQILA COURSE

several miles away. They also hunt other lizards as well


as large mammals and are sometimes cannibalistic.
The Komodo dragon's teeth are almost
completely covered by its gums. When it feeds, the gums
bleed, creating an ideal culture for virulent bacteria. The
bacteria that live in the Komodo dragon's saliva causes
septicemia, or blood poisoning, in its victims. A dragon
will bite its prey, then follow it until the animal is too
weak to carry on.
This lizard species is threatened by hunting, loss

bearing a sack of grain on one side and a jar of honey on
the other.
To his surprise all the questions were true about
his camel. And this made the Arab convinced that they
were the thieves. So he brought them before a judge.
But the explanation was simple.
The first brother began, The camel had only
gazed on the grass on one side of the path, so it must be
blind in the other eye. One of its hoof prints was less
marked than the others, and that means it must be lame
in one foot.
As for me, said the second brother, I noticed
that all its dropping were in one heap, instead of being
spread around as usually happen, so I thought that the
camel must be missing its tail.
On one side, explained the third brother, some
wheat grains had fallen on the path and the ants were
carrying them away. On the other side of the path, the
flies were sucking at the drops of honey.
There upon the judge freed the four brothers, and
took them into his own services.

JP. Hundreds of packages of medicine and


traditional herbs of various brands were confiscated and
destroyed by Yogyakarta's Food and Drugs Control
officers during its joint operation with the City's Health
officer starting on Monday.
The joint operation was conducted by seven
personnels at several shops and drug stores in several
parts of the city.
In the fight against unregistered medicine we'll
continue the raids, said the head of Yogyakarta City's
Health Officer, Chaerul Anwar on Tuesday. Shop
owners found setting the registered medicines would first
be warned as they probably did not know they were
selling illegal products.

A Trip to Snow Mountains
When my family was living in Sidney, we used to
go to a place called Snow Mountain because Sydney
never has snow in winter. Well, the weather can get very
very, very cold, and the temperature could go as minus 5
degrees Celsius, but it never snows. That was the reason
why we liked going to Snow Mountains.
Our first trip to Snow Mountains was very
exciting. We went with a group of foreign students from
different parts of the world. We went by bus to Canberra
and then we went up to the mountain. And believe me,
you need to be an expert driver because the road was
rough and wet. We had to go very slowly and cautiously.
Luckily, our driver was a real professional. He did
a great job taking us to the mountains, but I saw many
good cars sliding off the roads. The police were made
busy by those accidents, but the police seemed to have
anticipated the situations. They had all kinds of
equipment to help the poor cars.
When we reached the resort area, a nice warm
meal was waiting in a nice and warm dining room. It was
a relief. Then we had to hire the Snow-Mountain gear
like caps, scarves, thick jackets, and snow boots. We
simply had to do that or we would have been freezing to
death. I felt really big and fat in that outfit and I had to
do learn how to walk in snow.
The most exciting part was the toboggan ride.
Toboggan is basically a fiberglass board designed to
slide down the snowy slopes. So I climbed up the hill
and then I sat down on the toboggan. I held on to ropes
to steer and slid down the hill. It turned out that my
steering ropes weren't tied on correctly, so I could not
control my toboggan property. I slid down really fast
without being able to control where I was going. So I
ended up plugging into a freezing cold creek!

The Incas used to be a large empire of 990
000km2 in Peru of South America. Their city was high
up in the Andes Mountains. They were well known for
their great wealth, especially gold. This great empire was
unfortunately destroyed in an attack by the Spaniards
who were searching for their famed gold. Although thus
empire existed way back in 1493, it was not backward
but complex and well-organized.
The empire was ruled by the Sapa Inca, Lord of
the World, Son of the Sun. He owned everything in the
empire the land, soil, gold and even the people. The
people, therefore, had no freedom.
Boys and girls were to live a life of obedience and
tradition. They began working in their ayllu or family
groups. The rule was Ama sun, ama ilulla, ama shekilla,
which means, Do not steal, do not lie, do not be lazy.
Despite this difficult way of life, the Incas were
skillful. They constructed drainage system and
underground water reservoirs. Their buildings were
made from huge stones. These were cut to fit perfectly
together so that no mortar was needed. Their rope
bridges were so strong that even a horse could gallop
across them!
The Incas had no written language. Information
was recorded on knotted strings called quipus. These
were also used as calculators. Strong and healthy young
boys were chosen as chasquis or couriers to carry
messages from one place to another.

The following text is for questions number 12to 15.
Technique of Teaching
The Silent Way is one of the effective language
teaching techniques. It is pedagogical approach to
language teaching based on the premise that the teacher
should be as silent as possible in the classroom (about 90
% of the time). The learners, then, are encouraged to
produce as much language as possible. They have much
time both to be exposed to the language and to perform
practice.
The learning hypothesis behind the Silent Way is
that learning is facilitated if the learners discover or
create rather than remembers and repeats what is to be
learned. Also, students learn more effectively through
problem solving involving the target language. It views
language learning as a creative problem-solving and
discovering activity in which the learner is a principal
actor rather than a bench-bound listener.
Basically, in learning teachers prepare their
students to have problem solving skill. And the Silent
Way can be described as a problem-solving approach to
language learning, and is summed up nicely in Benyamin
Franklin's words: Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I
remember. Involve me and I learn.
I conclude that the Silent Way is an appropriate
language teaching technique.

Text
The following text is for questions number 16 to 20.
Do Women Deserve Higher Education?
The issue we are discussing is whether women
need higher education or not. Some people think that
there is no use for women to get higher education, for
women main role is in their household and surroundings.
Thus, knowing about practical household management is
sufficient for women to lead their lives.
In addition, higher education does not ensure
women to get better life, so why bother about this? There
are many examples of women who are successful in their
lives although they only enjoy average education. They
succeed in managing their household, educating their
children and participating in community activities.
On the other hand, some other people believe that
women also have the right to get higher education. They
claim that education is important for anyone including
women, because it is one way to improve the quality of
life. Therefore, every woman must get education as high
as she can achieve.
A further point they make is that higher education
is not just the matter of achieving a better position in
community or working environment. More importantly,
it is the way to empower women and to give them better
understanding of life and universe.

Birds belong to a class of warm blooded
vertebrate animals with feather covered bodies. Next to
mammals, birds are the most important groups of landliving vertebrates.
All birds have feathers, although in some types,
particularly those that cannot fly, the normal structure of
the feathers may be much modified and be downy,
wooly, or straw like. The forelimbs of birds are modified
into wings. The bony part of the tail, except in the very
earliest fossil birds, is very short, and the visible tail is
composed of feathers only. The teeth are absent except in
some fossil forms.
As in mammals-the only other group of warmblooded animal-the circulation is highly perfected so that
there is no mixing of material of arterial and venous
blood, but the arrangement of veins and arteries by
which this is accomplished, is different in two groups.
Birds have keen hearing, although they have no external
ears. The sense of sight also is very keen, but the sense
of smell is weak or lacking, except few vultures and
other birds.

What Causes Weather
Weather is the physical condition of the
atmosphere at a particular time. It includes
temperature, air pressure and water content, known as
wind. Winds are formed when the cooler air moves in to
replace the rising warm air. Warm air is usually less
dense than cold air; therefore, it creates low air pressure.
Cool air is more dense and creates high air pressure.

high and there are clouds, rain and snow when the air
pressure drops.

Text
It is commonly observed during the rainy season
that water falling on roads and streets disappears after a
few hours. Similarly, in summer, wet clothes dry up very
soon. Do you know where this water goes? This water
gets converted into vapor is called evaporation.
How does evaporation take place? Every
substance is made up of very small particles called
molecules. These molecules are held together by strong
forces of attrition called cohesive forces. These forces
are opposed by the repulsive forces due to the motion of
molecules. As long as the cohesive forces are far greater
than the repulsive forces, the substance remains in the
solid state. When the substance is heated up, it absorbs
heat energy which the molecules area set up in rapid
motion. This motion starts counterbalancing the cohesive
force. When the repulsive force generated by the motion
of molecules equals the cohesive force, matter changes
from solid to liquid state. If the liquid is still heated, the
molecules still move fast. When the force exceeds the
cohesive force, the molecules of the liquid become free
and escape into the air. It is how the liquid is converted
into vapor. The liberation of the molecules from the
liquid surface to the air is called evaporation.
This explains the drying up process of clothes. If
the wet clothes are put under the sun, they dry up faster
because at the rate of evaporation increases with the rise
in temperature. It takes place more rapidly when the air
is dry. That is why clothes dry up more quickly on a dry
than on a damp cloudy day.

Text
Slang is definitely a way to distinguish you as part
of a group or separate from another group. Teens use
slang to show their independence from their parents, and
give them and their friends a language they can call their
own. Slang sometime allows them to communicate
without outsiders understanding, or to show off that they
belong to a particular group. Teens like to use slang
words for several reasons.
Firstly, they use slang to show their individuality.
Daily teen conversations can be incomprehensible to
many parents and adults. Influenced by MTV, hip-hop
culture and the popularity of e-mail, teenagers shorten
words, stretch definitions and pronounce term with a
different style. The way talk shows their confidence.
Secondly, they use slang because it is easier to
say. They might talk the way they do with word
like"coz" for"because" and "holla" for "hello" and other
expressions because the words are cool and easier to use,
not because they are lazy.
Finally, they use slang for speed and usefulness,
and little humor of the day. Slang flows quicker than
standard language. Slang can color their vocabulary and
sentences, so that they don't seem boring.
Thus, from the reasons above, it can be concluded
that teens use slang words because using their own terms
is the easiest way to make the world of their own.

Task
In total, the plant has need of at least 16
elements, of which the most important are carbon,
hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, phosphorus, sulfur,
potassium, calcium, and magnesium. The plan obtains
carbon and hydrogen dioxide from the atmosphere; other
nutrients are taken up from the soil. Although the plant
contains sodium, iodine, and cobalt, these are apparently
not essential. This is also true of silicon and aluminum.
Overall chemical analyses indicate that the total
supply of nutrients in soils is usually high in comparison
with the requirements of crop plants. Much of this
potential supply, however, is bound tightly in forms that
are not released to crops fast enough to give satisfactory
growth. Because of this, the farmer is interested in
measuring the available nutrient supply as contrasted to
the total quantities.

Dear Rossa,
I am a guy, twenty-eight years old. I have a
problem with a girl friend. She is twenty five years old.
We have been dating each other for years, since we were
high school students. Now we have jobs. I feel very sure
that we love each other. Now it is time for me to get
married. Unfortunately, her parents never approve of our

relationship ever since the very first time. My family,


anyhow, does not really mind.
At first I thought my girl friend had the power
to defend our love. But then he surrendered. She loves
me and she loves her family too. On the one hand she
said, "I'll be happy if my family is happy." It means she
had to get approval from her parents. For this, I was
shocked. My heart was broken. She ended our
relationship just at the time when I was ready to marry
her. When I was with her, we were very happy. We had a
lot in common and there were no conflict. The truth was,
we separated only because of her parents. They want her
to marry her cousin, her aunt's son (this is one of the
traditions in the Karonese). For the time being I am very
upset. When I miss her I call her.
Then we can eat together, talk together for
hours. We act like dating because she loves me, too. The
real problem is, she cannot refuse what her parents want.
So, should I forget my girl friend, the only one that I
truly love? Or else, should I just wait, and dream that one
day she will be back to me?

Task
Oil, like coal and natural gas, is a fossil fuel.
Fossil fuels are made from the remains of dead plants
and animals. It is thought that oil comes from tiny plants
and animals whore bodies fell in their millions to the
seabed when they died. There they were covered by sand
and mud, which later hardened into rocks. In the course
of millions of years, the plants and animal material
underwent chemical changes and eventually turned into
oil.
Oil deposits lie hidden deep beneath the surface
of the earth. They have to be searched for. Unless the oil
actually comes to the surface, it is impossible to be
certain that any is present. The rising demand for oil
products keeps the oil companies busy exploring new oil
fields, and drilling new wells. Exploration teams are sent
to distant regions to search for oil. If the exploration
shows good results the company decides to drill a well.
Thus the exploration phase ends, and the production
phase begins.
Crude oil has to be transported to refinery to be
made into the many products that are useful to man, such
as petrol, kerosene diesel oil, lubricants, asphalt. Further
processing gives aviation fuel, greases, fertilizers,
insecticides, man-made fibers and many other things.
The oil industry has a very complex and
widespread distribution system. Ocean tankers, pipelines,
rail tankers, and road tankers are used to bring the oil
products to seaport, inland depots, can and drum

Task
Born in East London, Beckham was raised in a
family of Manchester United supporters, with both his
parents traveling to Old Trafford from London to see the
team's matches, often taking young David with them.
Getting the taste of soccer, David started playing for the
Ridgeway Rovers, a youth team coached by his father
and Steve Kirby.
Although taking part at several trials at the
Manchester United youth facilities, he had some tries at
his local club, Leyton Orient and Tottenham Hotspur,
however he would come back to the Manchester United
youth in 1991.
After playing there for 1 year and winning the
FA Youth Cup with the team, David Beckham was given
the chance to play for Manchester's first squad, in a
League Cup game against Brighton and Hove Albion,
which would be his first appearance as a professional
soccer player.
When he was just 19 years of age, Beckham
was still not a first team regular for Manchester, so in the
1994/95 season he was loaned to Preston North End,
where he would get some useful match experience before
returning to United the next season. The end of the
1994/95 season saw several key components of the
Manchester United first squad leaving the team or
retiring and Sir Alex Ferguson, the team's manager
decided to base his strategy for the next season on
youngsters instead of buying expensive replacements.
This was a great chance for David Beckham and he took
it with both hands as he would become a first team
regular from now on.
Constantly rising in form and playing better and
better for Manchester helped David Beckham reach the
England squad for the 1998 World Cup, however this
would be one of the toughest moments in Beckham's
career.

Task
The Incas used to be a large empire of 990.000
km2 in Peru of South America. Their city was high up in
the Andes Mountains. They were well-known for their
great wealth, especially gold. This great empire was
unfortunately destroyed in an attack by the Spaniards
who were searching for famed gold. Although this
empire existed way back in 1493, it was not backward
but complex and well-organized.
The empire was ruled by the Sapa Inca, Lord of
the World, Son of the Sun. he owned everything in the
empire the land, soil, gold and even the people. The
people, therefore, had no freedom.
Boys and girls were to live a life of obedience
and tradition. They began working in their ayllu or
family group. The rule was Amasua, ama llulla, ama
sheklla, which means, Do not steal, do not lie, do not be
lazy.
Despite this difficult way of life, the Incas
were very skilful. They constructed drainage system and
underground water reservoirs. Their buildings were
made from huge stones. These were cut to fit perfectly
together so that no mortar was needed. Their rope
bridges were so strong that even a horse could gallop
across them!
The Incas had no written language Information
was recorded on knotted strings called quipus. These
were also used as calculators. Strong and healthy young
boys were chosen as chasquis or couriers to carry
messages from one place to another.

Task
Higher Education for women
In this modern era still some parents who are
reluctant about sending their daughters to college. The
narrow attitude shown to womens education is largely
due to the traditional role of women in society. A woman
is expected to be a wife and a mother. Most parents
believe that if their daughter gets married and chooses to
be a housewife, then the higher education will be a
waste. However, an educated woman is not only a better
wife but also contributes something to the society.
Nowadays, more and more women are
successfully combining their career and marriage.
Educated women are richer both emotionally and
financially. They are able to find an outlet for their
monotonous drudgery of their housekeeping. They bring
more satisfaction and contentment to their lives.
Depriving girls of higher education is crass
discrimination. Times have changed; modern society
needs the talents of its people regardless of gender.
Today, women work alongside men. In fact, in the last
few decades, women have made outstanding
contributions to society.
Women should be given the freedom to be
educated whether or not they get married or go to work
after finishing their education, because it is only through
education that a woman will find her self useful and
discover what she wants in life. A woman who works is

42

UN SMA INGGRIS 1

not an insult to her husband. Conversely, her husband


should feel proud of her achievements since marriage is
actually an equal partnership. Therefore, parents should
not think that girls should receive less education just
because they will get married one day.
12.

What makes parents reluctant to send their


daughters to college?
a. They think education will be a waste.
b. More women are successful in their career.
c. It is a waste for women to go to college.

need high education
e. They have to contribute something to the
society.
What is the main purpose of the text?

about higher education for women.
b. To tell the parents in this modern era about
how to educate their daughters.
c. To persuade readers what should and should
not do about education.

education for their daughters

educate their daughters.

There are a lot of discussions as to whether
children should be given homework or not. Some people
claim that children do enough work in school already.
They also argue that children have hobbies that they
want to do after school, such, as sports or music. A
further point they make is that a lot of homework is
pointless and doesnt help the child learn at all.
However, there are also strong arguments
against this point of view. Parents and teachers argue that
it is important to find out whether children can work on
their own without the support from the teacher. They say
Bimbel SD SMP dan SMA -- AQILA COURSE

that the evening is a good time for children to sit down


and think about what they have learned in school.
Furthermore they claim that the school day is
too short to get anything done that needs doing and it
makes sense to send home tasks like independent reading
or further writing tasks that dont need teachers support.
On balance, I think that some homework is a
good idea but that it should only given at the weekend
when children have more time.

Once upon a time there lived as neighbors, a
bear and a rabbit. The rabbit was a good shot, and the
bear, being very clumsy, could not use the arrow to good
advantage. The bear would call over the rabbit and asked
the rabbit to take his bow and arrows and came with the
bear to the other side of the hill. The rabbit, fearing to
arouse the bears anger by refusing, consented and went
with the bear and shot enough buffalo to satisfy the
hungry family. Indeed, he shot and killed so many that
there was lots of meat left after the bear and his family
had loaded themselves, and packed all they could carry
home. The bear was very gluttonous and did not want the

Task
Nobody likes paying taxes. Even those who
know that taxation is necessary and just are reluctant to
pay taxes. It is not pleasant to see part of your monthly
income taken away from your income tax. Ignorant
people think this is injustice and make grievance of it .
Every country must have a government. The
primary duties of a government are to protect the life and
property of the citizens, to maintain law and order, and
settle dispute between citizens in a just and orderly way
through the law-courts, to defend the country from
foreign foes and to maintain the roads and highways.
Besides, many governments maintain and direct
education, provide hospitals for the sick and attend to
sanitation. All these great public duties need money: an
army and navy have to be kept up, the police force and
the judges have to be paid.
Furthermore, schools and teachers have to be
provided and supported; health experts officer and
sanitary engineers have to be employed. Now where is
all from? For the benefits of the public. It is the people as
a whole, rich and poor that benefit by security of life and
property, by the sound roads by 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 needed: for the money they
give comes back to them in the form of these public
benefits which all enjoy.

continuous rises in the price of available goods. There
are two different kinds of inflation, each of which can
effect peoples lives. When inflation is discussed, people
generally refer to an increase in price, wages, and the
amount of money circulation in a countrys economy.
The most common type of inflation because there is
steady but manageable increase in the rate of inflation
within a year.
Prices rise continuously so that workers ask for
higher wages to cover the increasing costs of housing,
food, and transportation. Although such wage increase is
inflationary, they are often unavoidable. As result, a
government may have to impose price and wage controls
in order to control this type of inflation. A less common
type of inflation is called hyperinflation, which is usually
due to war or occupation by a foreign country. During a
period of hyperinflation, price levels double rapidly. As
there is too much money available in the economy,
currency decreases in value, and people lose confidence
in their governments financial competence. To win back
the trust of people, the government may create a new
currency

Task
Have you ever wondered how people get
chocolate from? In this article we'll enter the amazing
world of chocolate so you can understand exactly what
you're eating. Chocolate starts with a tree called the
cacao tree. This tree grows in equatorial regions,
especially in places such as South America, Africa, and
Indonesia. The cacao tree produces a fruit about the size
of a small pine apple.
Inside the fruit are the tree's seeds, also known
as cocoa beans. The beans are fermented for about a
week, dried in the sun and then shipped to the chocolate
maker. The chocolate maker starts by roasting the beans
to bring out the flavor. Different beans from different
places have different qualities and flavor, so they are
often sorted and blended to produce a distinctive mix.
Next, the roasted beans are winnowed. Winnowing
removes the meat nib of the cacao bean from its shell.
Then, the nibs are blended. The blended nibs
are ground to make it a liquid. The liquid is called
chocolate liquor. It tastes bitter. All seeds contain some
amount of fat, and cacao beans are not different.
However, cacao beans are half fat, which is why the
ground nibs form liquid. It's pure bitter chocolate.

Indonesian people in general have a desire to be
governmental workers because they consider that being a
governmental worker means life and better future for the
retire age. The problem is are there quite a lot of
occupations to be governmental workers? People often
disappointed because they fail to meet what they have
been expecting that is to be opportunities to work in the
governmental office.
Actually, working opportunity is not only to be a
governmental worker. If we desire of being a
governmental worker, we may be disappointed, because
the vacancy of being a governmental worker is limited.
The men who want to work are much more than the
vacancy available. Even it is also difficult to get a job.
We find quite a lot of people who get better life
and job in private companies. Most of them find good
position such as a clerk, a manager, a banker, a
technician, a director, etc.
Because of the difficulty in getting a job, a man
should create opportunities for employment for himself
and others. We may call them entrepreneurs. They
build either being big or small private companies.
Through this way, much more people will have
opportunities of getting jobs.

COMMUNICATION SATELLITES
Astronauts have journeyed off the planet earth and
out into space. Ventures into space have led to the latest
tool into long-distance communications the
communication satellite. The satellite is equipped with
the radio receivers and transmitter. Rockets boost it into
orbit, and the force of gravity keeps it from flying off
into space. The communication satellite is the earths
captive, circling the planet in space. The satellite acts as
a television relay station. Engineers on the earth bounce
television signals off it at an angle, and the signals come
down at a different angle to receivers on another
continent. Television signals are blocked by mountains,
the earths curvature, or sometimes by building.
Therefore, they have to be relayed from one transmitter
to another in order to travel long distances. In 1962, the
first important United States communication satellite,
Telstar I, was placed in orbit. Television engineers in
Europe bounced a picture off Telstar, and viewers in the
United States saw it. For the first time people sat at home
in New York and watched something happening in
London or Paris at the moment it took place.

A DEMAND FOR WORKERS
If a builder is going to build a factory around your
dwelling house or in a certain area in the suburb, it will
surely need a lot of workers. It means a lot of workers
have good chance to apply for the jobs. The factory
needs a lot of skilled labourers. They are in great
demand.
For those who are still jobless they can contact the
office under the Depnaker in their respective areas. Or
they can contact the bureau that organizes the applicants.
This bureau is privately run. Most of the applicants are
high school graduates. They are placed in department,
institution, factories, schools and tourist agencies. They
are workers. They are lucky and feel satisfies they can
get new jobs.
Workers receive payment in the form of wages
and salaries. Farmers, doctors, lawyers,, and owner of
businesses are usually self-employed. Only a few of the
working people are self-employed. Labour-both the
workers and the labour movement is tremendously
important in the worlds economy. In a true democracy
labour is free. Workers cannot be forced to take jobs or
work for an employer if they dont wish to. They can
quit if they feel they are not paid enough.
As workers are in demand, they must work hard,
for example, for the department store. The workers must
be faithful to their manager and so must the manager to
the workers. He must be faithful to his promises and
word. There is no necessity for the manager to treat the
workers cruelly. The relation between employer and
employees must be good.
They must be workers compensation. Workers
compensation means payments and medical help given
to workers who are hurt on the job and pension given to
dependent (keluarga tertanggung) in the case of a
workers death. In most countries employers are required
to take out insurance policies to cover their responsibility
to the workers.

INTERNATIONAL TRADE
International trade is the exchange of goods and
services produced in one country for goods and services
produced in another country. In most cases, countries do
not trade the actual goods and services. Rather, they use
the income, or money, from the sale of their products to
buy the products of another country.
Bimbel SD SMP dan SMA -- AQILA COURSE

Trade among countries allows people in each


country to use their energies in doing what they do best.
That is, it lets them specialize. Trade and specialization
go hand in hand and enable each of us to have more
products to use and more and more different kinds of
products at the lowest possible cost.
Nations trade for many reasons. First, they trade
because there are differences in natural resources in
different part of the world. The plants that can be grown
are different. The mineral resources are also difference.
For example, Canada has nickel but is too cold to grow
oranges. The United States has only a few small nickel
mines but produces large crops of oranges. So the United
States buys nickel from Canada, and Canada buys
oranges from the Unites States. We say that the Unites
States exports oranges and imports nickel. Canada
Exports
nickel
and
imports
the
oranges.
The second reason, a nation trade with one another is
that it pays to specialize. Specialization makes the best
use of a countrys productive resources its natural
resources, the skills of its workers, and its factories.
When a country specialized, it can make some goods that
are of better quality that goods made elsewhere. Carpets
woven in Iran and wine produced in France are examples
of these special gods.
Many countries get a large part of their income
from selling one or two primary products. Primary
products are raw materials from which manufactured
goods are made. They may be from products, such as
wool, cotton, beef, or wheat. They may come from
beneath the surface of the earth, as do copper, iron, coal,
and crude oil. Or they may come from forests, as do
wood (not timber) and natural rubber.
International trade has many more problems that
there are in domestic trade. Many differences between
nations create difficulties. Language differences often
cause misunderstandings. Different ways of doing
business cause confusion. Tariffs and other trade barriers
may be set up by the government.

Elizabeth Barret lives near a shopping center, and
sometimes she and her sister, Barbara, play near the
stores. They like playing there. There are lots of people
there, and she and Barbara like to look at the things in
the windows.
But the lives of children are not sweet. They are
full of fears. Children attack and chase other children.
Why? Who knows? But it's true. And it's true in
Smithtown, too.
Elizabeth is eleven years old and isn't friends with
bad children. She doesn't fight. Her mother says so. And
one New Year's Eve, Elizabeth and her sister, Barbara,
are playing near the stores, but they have to stop.
"Elizabeth," says Barbara. "Let's go home. Do you see
those girls over there? They go to my school. They are
bad.
But it's too late. The bad girl chases Elizabeth and
Barbara. They start to run. "Hurry, Elizabeth. Let's run
across the railroad tracks. Hurry up."
The trains on the Long Island Railroad are always
late. It is a fact of life on Long Island. But the 1: 05 out
of Ronkokoma was on time the New Year's Eve.
Vincent Lobianco was at the railroad station, 150
feet away from Elizabeth and Barbara. "Don't cross the
tracks. Go back!" Mr. Lobianco is a religious man.
"Please, God, no. Don't let it happen." he shouts. But it
does. Engine #4321 was on top of Elizabeth in two
seconds. Mr. Lobianco runs towards the girl, and at the
same time, shouts to a taxi driver at the station. "Call
ambulance. Call an ambulance. There is a little girl on

her into a golden snail: Keong Mas. The God told Keong
Mas to drift along the river in order to find her husband,
Panji Asmara Bangun.
One day a poor widow, Mbok Rondo Dadapan,
who always fished along the river, found the golden snail
and took it home. There, she put the snail in a jar and
took care of it. All of a sudden, unexpected good things
took place in Mbok Rondo's life.
Coming back from her daily fishing, she would
find delicious dishes on the table and the house cleaned.
She wondered who had been so nice to take care of her
house and to do cooking. When this went on for several
days, she could not resist the temptation to find out who
the mysterious kind person was. So, one day, instead of
fishing, she peeped through a hole in the wall of her
house.

The statue of liberty is one of the first sights to
welcome immigrants arriving in the United States,
national monument proclaimed in 1924. Located in New
York City, the monument consists of two small islands,
Liberty Island and Ellis Island that lie in Upper New
York Bay. The statue of Liberty is located on Liberty
Island; Ellis Island was once the location where most
immigrants entered the United States.
The statue of Liberty is a monumental sculpture
that symbolizes freedom throughout the world. Its
normal name is Liberty Enlightening the world. The
statue depicts a woman escaping the chains of tyranny,
which lie at her feet. Her right hand holds a loft of
burning torch that presents liberty. Her left hand hold a
tablet inscribed with the date "July 4, 1776" (in roman
numerals), the day the United States declared its
independence. She is wearing flowing robes and the
seven rays of her spiked crown symbolize the seven seas
and continents.
The statue of Liberty is 46 m (151feet) high. Its
base and pedestal increase the height of the monument to
93 m (305 feet). The surface of the statue is composed of
hammered copper sheets 2.4 mm (0.01 in) thick that are
riveted to an iron framework. The iron frame was
devised by French engineer Alexander Gustave Eiffel,
who also built the Eiffel Tower in Paris. The statue rests
upon a concrete and granite pedestal designed by
American architect Richard Morris Hunt. A star-shaped
wall surrounds the 47 m (154 feet) pedestal. This wall
was part of Fort Wood, which was built in the early 19th
century to defend New York during the war of
1812(1812-1815).

The Ram in The Chili Patch
Long ago there was a Mexican boy named Jan
who helped raise money for his family by growing chili
pepper in his garden.
But one day when he came out to his chili patch,
he found a ram eating some peppers and stomping on
others. "Go away, Mr. Ram." Said Juan. "Those are my
peppers." The ram replied, "Get away from me or I'll butt
you into the next country." Juan started to cry, and all the
animals on the little farm fell sorry for him. The cat tried
to help. She went up to the ram and said, "You should be
ashamed of yourself. Get out of there. Those are Juan's
chili peppers," but the ram lowered his head and said,
"Get out of here or I'll butt you into the next country." So
the cat ran away. The dog tried to help. He came out and
barked at the ram lowered his head and said, "Get out of
here or I'll butt you into the next country." The dog too
ran away.
Finally a little ant said, "I can help you, Juan."
The ant climbed onto the ram and began biting him all
over. The ram jumped up and started running. He ran so
fast and so far that now he is in the next country.

their living styles. Solitary bees live alone. On the other
hand, social bees, like ants, live in groups. Only about
six hundred species are of his social category.
Social bees are interesting because in their
"society" there different classes of bees. Each class
performs a different task. Queen bees lay an egg.
Workers, underdeveloped females, work in the hive but
never produce. Males do not work: their only task is to
mate with the queen.
Solitary bees occur as males and females. Every
female makes a nest after an egg is laid and put in a cell,
the female also add some pollen and honey for food.
Then she seals the cell. The females then go else where
to build a new nest or die. When the eggs hatch, the
larvae will feed on the pollen and honey which the

Silkworms live for only two or three days after
laying eggs. About 36.000 to 50.000 eggs are laid, and
these are carefully stored at the silkworm farm until they
are ready to hatch. The eggs hatch into caterpillars,
which feed on mulberry leaves. Soon, the caterpillars are
ready to spin their cocoons. Not all caterpillars can spin
silk cocoons. Only the caterpillars of silkworm moth
known as 'Bombyx Mori' can do such spinning.
This caterpillar has special glands which secrete
liquid silk through its lower lip. The caterpillar makes its
cocoons using these strands. The threads on the outside
of the cocoons are rough, while those inside are soft and
smooth.
Some fully-spun cocoons are heated. This kills the
pupa inside. The cocoons are then put into hot water to

Mr. Smith Blunders
Have you ever been invited to a party by an
unknown host? You met strange guests, too. It is rather
ridiculous of course.
Mr. Smith is a well-known in Washington because
of his many social blunders. He always likes to attend
various social functions because he wants to expand his
circle of friends. Whenever he is invited, he goes, unless
he
is
ill.
Recently he received an invitation to a fashionable
banquet. Although he did not know the hostess, he
accepted the invitation. He was secretly very pleased,
because he felt that his reputation as a desirable guest
was growing.
When he arrived at the banquet hall, he found that
about one hundred people had been invited. He began to
move around the hall. He spoke other guest about
whether he knew them or not. He soon realized that he
had never met any of the other people present, although
they seemed to know each other.

At dinner, he was seated beside a very dignified


woman. The woman tied to be friendly even though she
had never met Mr. Smith before. She spoke politely,
whenever he spoke to her. Between the first and the
second course of the meal, she turned to Mr. Smith and
said, "Did you see that gray-haired man at the end of the
table, the one with glasses?"
"Ah, yes. Who is he?" asked smith.
"He's the secretary of the interior!" she replied.
Mr. Smith said, "So that's the secretary of the
interior! I'm afraid that I find very little to admire about
him, although he is the secretary."
The woman stiffened and did not reply. Smith
continued in spite of her coldness. "I rally can't see how
he received his appointment, unless he is perhaps a
relative of the president."
"It hardly matters whether you like the secretary
or not," she said. "He was chosen because the President
thought he was the best man for the job. If he does the
job well, you should have no complaint."
"That is just it," persisted smith. "No one does the
things he does, unless he is a complete fool"
"Sir!" said the woman in all her dignity. "Do you
know who I am?"
"No," replied Smith.
"I'm the secretary's wife," she said coldly. Mr.
Smith was flabbergasted, but he went on in spite of his
embarrassment.
"Madam, do you know I am?"
"No, I don't" the woman replied.
"Thank goodness!" exclaimed Mr. Smith, as he

For many years people believed that the cleverest
animals after man were the chimpanzees. Now, however,
there is a proof that dolphins may be even cleverer than
these big apes.
Although a dolphin lives in the sea it is not a fish.
It is a mammal. It is in many ways therefore, like a
human being.
Dolphins have a simple language. They are able to
talk to one another. It may be possible for man to learn
how to talk to dolphins. But this will not be easy because
dolphins cannot hear the kind of sounds man can make.
If a man wants to talk to dolphins, therefore, he will have
to make a third language which both he and the dolphins
can understand.
Dolphins are also very friendly toward man. They
often follow ships. There are many stories about guiding
ships through difficult and dangerous water.

In summer the amount of daylight that we get is


more than we get in winter. This is not because as some
people think we are closer to the sun but because of the
tilt of the Earth.
The Earth is actually closer to the sun in winter
than it is in the summer but you would be forgiven for
thinking that this can not be true after looking out of
your window on a cold and frosty morning. It seems
strange that as the earth gets closer to the Sun during its
orbit then in the amount of daylight that we get
decreases. But that is the case. It is the tilt of the Earth
that determine the amount of daylight that we get and so

Fast food nowadays is considered a normal eating


venture. People are not just eating out on special
occasions or weekends anymore. It means that all the
time they mostly eat fast foods. However is fast food
good for health?
Fast food has its popularity in the 1940s. Within
a few years, fast-food operations popped up everywhere.
With the compelling rise in fast-food restaurants since
the 1940s, oddly it started the rise in obesity and cancer
during that same time period.
Fast food is highly processed with a wide array of
additives. To ensure fast foods low cost, the fast food
products are made with highly-processed ingredients to
give it shelf-life, to hold consistency, and to enhance
flavor. Fast food is altered from its original healthy form.
It is not the calories in fast food which damage
health and waistline. It is the chemical additives such as
aspartame and MSG (monosodium glutamate). Studies
show that the chemical additives lead to weight and
disease issues.
So, there is absolutely nothing nutritional about
fast food. Fast food simply feeds hunger and craving.

When did fast food begin to be familiar?

are not good for health.
b. fast food is made with highly-processes
ingredients.
c. fast food is a normal eating venture.
d. people like eating fast food.

Going to college or getting a job right after


graduating high school is the common choices of teens
will likely face. Some likely choose to continue studying
at college or university but the others try to find job.
Here are the reasons.
Why is it so important for students to continue on
to post-secondary education; university or college? The
reason is that post-secondary education will allow them
to get the skills and tools that they will need to help them
prepare for a good career. It has been said that the more
education they have the more careers will be open for
them to choose from. Employers today will tend to be
more open to a person with the more education.
However some of them choose to get job right
after high school. They believe that education is critical
but college is not. In fact, there are numerous careers,
such as in healthcare, technology, operations,
transportation, and the building trades that do not
require a four-year degree from college or university.
Furthermore, as they advance in these careers, there is
also nothing stopping them from pursing a college
degree at a later age.

The couple were too surprised to do anything. The
peach then cracked open, and there was a beautiful baby
boy inside. The couple were very happy, of course. They
named the baby Momotaro, which meant Peach boy.

was going to fight the pirates who always attacked their
village. These pirates lived on an island a few kilometers

sent him off on his journey.
Sailing his boat, Momotaro met an eagle going in
the same direction. They became good friends, soon,
both of them arrived on the island of the Pirates.

around the world and took notes of special attractions,
traditions, cultures, and environments of those
countries.
When an advertisement was published by a
leading local newspaper looking for a journalist, she
applied for the post and was employed by the
company. With her travelling experience, she was
assigned to the Tour and Travel Department.
Needless to say, her new job required that she
travel extensively from one country to another. Her
degree in Tourism and her recent trips to various
countries helped her get along.
Well with the job. She has written many remark

Vibrio parahaemolyticus is a bacteria that has


been isolated from sea water, shell fish, finfish, plankton
and salt springs. It has been a major cause of food
poisoning in Japan and the Japanese have done several
studies on it. They have confirmed the presence of
Vibrio parahaemolyticus in the north and central Pasific
Bimbel SD SMP dan SMA -- AQILA COURSE

with the highest abundance in inshore waters,


particularly in or near large harbors.
A man named Nishio studied the relationship
between the chloride content of sea water and the
seasonal distribution of Vibrio parahaemolyticus and
concluded that while the isolation of Vibrio
parahaemolyticus was independent of the sodium
chloride content, the distribution of Vibrio
parahaemolyticus in the sea water was independent on
the water temperature. In fact it has been isolated in high
frequencies during summer, form June to September, but
was not isolated with the same frequency in winter.
Within four or five days after eating contaminated

The Great Pyramid of Giza, a monument of


wisdom and prophecy was built as a tomb for Pharaoh
Cheops in 2720 B.C. Despite its antiquity, certain
aspects of its construction make it one of the truly great
wonders of the world. The four sides of the pyramid are
aligned almost exactly on true north, south, east and west
an incredible engineering feat. The ancient Egyptians
were sun worshipers and great astronomers, so
computations for the Great Pyramid were based on
astronomical observations.
Exploration and detailed examinations of the base
of the structure reveal many intersecting lines. Further
scientific study indicates that these represent a type of
time line of events past, present, and future. Many of
the events have been interpreted and found to coincide

Almost everyone eats bread daily, especially for
breakfast. Bread making is not a complicated task.
You only need flour, water, yeast, sugar, salt, oil,
butter, and an oven.
Choosing good flour is the step in making
bread. There are two kinds of flour, soft and hard.
Hard flour, made of winter wheat, is a better choice for
making bread because it produces bread that has a
better texture and taste.
Then, lukewarm water, yeast, sugar and salt are
mixed with the flour to make dough. Yeast is a
microscopic organism that is capable of producing
carbon dioxide. It can make the dough rise or expand.
Both sugar and salt give flavor to the bread so that it
tastes nice. They, however, have different effects on
yeast. After that, oil (such as olive oil, corn oil, peanut
oil) and butterbare added because they are essential to
make the bread tender. After mixing the ingredients,

In 1982 Lindy Chamberlain was convicted of


murdering her baby Azaria while camping at Ayers
Rock. In my opinion, Lindy should have been convicted
of Azarias murder as there is too much conflicting
evidence.
Firstly, there is the question of the blood found in
the car. It was claimed that it was the babys blood.
However, the tests used to identify the blood were later
found to be unreliable and the blood could have come
from an adult.
Another piece of conflicting evidence concerns
the dingo. Lindy claimed that Azaria was taken by stray
dingo. Some of the other campers said that they saw no
dingo, but there were several who confirmed Lindys
story, and who stated that they heard a dingos cry just
before Azaria went missing.
And finally, there is the matter of the babys
jumpsuit which was later found with holes in it. The
prosecution maintained that these holes could only have
be made by a pair of nail scissors the ones they claimed
Lindy used to kill her baby. The defense on the other
hand demonstrated that the holes could just as easily
have been made by a dingos teeth.
In the light of such conflicting evidence, I believe
that it was wrong to convict Lindy Chamberlain without
finding more definite proof of her guilt.

The tone for much discussion, over the last 400


years, of the nature of mind and body was certainly set
by Descartes. Cartesian dualism postulated an
apparently unbridgeable gap between minds and
bodies which drove some thinkers to materialism,
others to idealism. 20th century thinkers have
developed sophisticated versions of materialism, aided
by recent discoveries about the nervous systems and
the brain.

79

UN SMA INGGRIS 1

Some 20th century materialists have argued that


mental states are identical with states of the brain, or
reducible to them, in a way analogous to the way
clouds are reducible to water droplets, or nations to
individual citizens. Others have argued for the
possibility of eliminating all references to thoughts and
other mental notions in a completed account of the
brain.
Yet other thinkers have thought that Descartes
was conceptually confused. One of the most powerful
accounts of mental states and acts developed in recent
years is functionalism. Perhaps such mental things
as thoughts, or fears, or beliefs, are nothing more than
names for the way in which certain purely physical
things function. Functionalism is compatible with
materialism, thought it does not entail it in the way
that identity theory or eliminative materialism does.

No, Little Saltee is not a place for mirth. No
Maypoles or circus antics. Especially not for Conor
Finn
In the 1800s, Little Saltee, an island off the
coast of Ireland, had become widely known to those
who were imprisoned there as Hell. At the age of 14,
Conor Broekhart has seen his beloved tutor killed,
discovered a conspiracy against the king (who had
been like a father to him), and been thrown into the
Little Saltee prison and branded a traitor. This has
been through the power-hungry efforts of the
conniving Marshall Hugo Bonvilain.
Bimbel SD SMP dan SMA -- AQILA COURSE

Upon his arrival he meets Biltoe, a guard


personally assigned to Conor who will do anything to
make the boys life even more miserable. After
numerous beatings Conor is initiated into the Little
Saltee Kiss, a process consisting of being thrown into
a pool of flesh-eating mites and then being branded for
life.
The mites went to work scraping his skin with
their infinitesimal teeth. To Conor this seemed like
macabre torture: but to his person, these mites were a
boon. Plant spores, agitated by the mites, disinfected
his wounds, which the mites cleaned by eating all
traces of infection. The chipped off blood and scab,
diving deep into gashes, chewing back to the bare
wound.
Conors only hope for survival is to flee. He has
always dreamed of flying, and under Victors careful
teaching, he has learned much about the process. But
how can a flying machine be made in this terrible
place? His every move is monitored and every day
brings new ways of torment from the brutal guards. As
the years pass he fights hard for survival and a place of
respect among his fellow prisoners, all the while
carefully plotting his miraculous escape.
With this intervention of a wise but blind exprisoner, Conor comes to realize that he cannot just
fly-away. He must let his father know that he is still

TEXT I
Cameroon is a West African country of ten
million people which has been very successful in
growing food for its people, unlike many other West
African countries. Since 1971 it has doubled its output of
major foodstuffs such as maize and potatoes. Now it is
one of the few African countries able to feed itself. This
was not the case five years ago when the country was
only 75-80% self-sufficient in food. Although isolated
pockets of hunger still remain, the World Bank
nowadays gives Cameroon money to sustain, not to
achieve, self-sufficiency in food production.

The authors purpose in writing this paragraph is

a. to describe pollution caused by advanced


technology
b. to show how advantageous advanced
technology is for human beings
c. to have people stop developing advanced
technology
d. to explain what further inventions in
technology should be made
e. to make people implement advanced
technology

4.

Advanced technology has made peoples lives


more comfortable;
Nevertheless, ______
a. it is causing a lot of damage to the
environment
b. many inventions were developed for good
causes
c. it help people to kill termites through
pesticides
d. many people are no longer unemployed
e. it is useful and beneficial to people

The text tells us about .


a. West African countries
b. Cameroons ability to feed its people
c. major foodstuffs in West Africa
d. Cameroons food production
e. food self-sufficiency

Which the following statements is TRUE about


Cameroon?
a. The World Bank financially supports
Cameroon to maintain its self-sufficiency.
b. Cameroon is the biggest and richest country
among West African countries.
c. It was the World Bank which financed the
production of food in Cameroon.
d. Similar to other West African countries,
Cameroon has always been self-sufficient.
e. Cameroon has succeeded in its food
production because of the fertility of its soil.

TEXT II
Continued progress in advanced technology is not
necessary. Already the technical progress in our world
has caused severe pollution in the air and in the water.
Although the technical progress in previous years has
been helpful, recent technology has significantly
increased pollution. Another reason to stop technical
progress is that many inventions which were developed
for good causes are now also used for powerful weapons
or have been found to have serious side effects. For
example, pesticide put inside particle board to prevent
termites has now been found to be toxic to human life.
Technology does not always bring good effects; for
example, computers do much work faster than man, but
then man loses is job to a machine. Because no man can
guarantee that technology will have only good effects
and will be used only for the benefit of man, we should
delay the continued development of technology.

TEXT III
A natural disaster is a terrible accident, e.g. a great
flood, a big fire or an earthquake. It usually causes great
suffering and loss of a large sum of money. The
casualties are injured or died. Some people are homeless
and need medical care.
Floods occur when the water of rivers, lakes, or
streams overflow their banks and pour onto the
surrounding land. Floods are caused by many different
things. Often heavy rainstorms that last for a brief can
cause a flood. But not all heavy storms are followed by
flooding. If the surrounding land is flat and can absorb
the water, no flooding will occur. If, however, the land is
hard and rocky, heavy rain cannot be absorbed. Where
the banks are low, a river may overflow and flood
adjacent lowland.
In many part of the world flood are caused by
tropical storms called hurricanes or typhoons. They bring
destructive winds of high speed, torrents of rain, and
flooding. When a flood occurs, the destruction to
surrounding land can be severe. Whole villages and
towns are sometimes swept away by water pouring
swiftly over the land. Railroad track blocked and
uprooted from their beds. Highways are washed away.
When a building caught fire, the firemen pitched
in to help battle the blaze. Before the pumps were
invented, people formed bucket brigades to fight fires.
Standing side by side, they formed a human chain from
the fire to nearby well or river. They passed buckets of
water from to hand to be poured on the flames.
The damage of the fire did depend a great deal on
where it happened. In the country or a small village, only
a single house might burn down. But in crowded cities,
