word tsunami. Within an hour of the incident it became a household word. What exactly is
a tsunami?
A tsunami (pronounced ‘tsunami’) literally means a ‘harbor wave’. It is really a series

gravitational pull of the moon. The tsunami is a wave motion created by a disturbance in
the seabed. It is comparable to the waves produced in a basin of water if the bottom is



struck. You can see the ripples of water flowing from the spot you hit going outwards. Only
in this incident God’s basin is huge and the wave produced is several meters high.

Dear Human Being,
Put aside your axe, your hammer, or your rifle, and lend us your ear for a moment.
God created us, humans and animals, to live together in harmony on our planet – Earth.
He gave us trees, plants, rivers, mountains and many other things for our needs and
enjoyment. In all our different forms and characters, we make up everything that sets us
apart from other planets.
The only thing is that you, as a human being, were made a little superior to any of
us. You were given a little more intelligence and more of just everything else so that you
can do more. You, with all the skills given to you, are able to invent tools, erect buildings,
and make works of art. In other words, you have the power to rule the world.
You do as you wish: you maim, you kill, you destroy, all in the name of
development. But what do you really gain? What about us animals and our habitats? You
ignore our needs, and are intentionally blind to our fate.


Unlike you, we don’t have the ability to create things. Aside from our instincts, we
rely on our bodies alone: our fur, our feathers, our muscles… But just like you, we know
the joys and sorrows of living: the taste of freedom and the glory of every new day; the
pangs of hunger and the pains of death. We, like you, love our children, and cry when one
of them dies.
But even if we are less than what you are, we, too, are creatures of God. We also
have the right to live and to have our own place in this world. You cannot deny us this
right.
We know you need us to survive. Take what you need from us and our environment,
but don’t take it all. If you take everything from us, in the end you will have nothing. If you
destroy us, you will destroy yourselves. So please, let us be.

Respectfully,
Your fellow creatures on Earth

Your body needs energy, protein, minerals, vitamins, and fibre. In order to
get all of these, it is important to have a varied and balanced diet, and to eat the
right amount of food. Your body "burns" food to energy : the amount of energy
provided by food is measured in units called calories.
How many calories do you need? This depends on your weight and on what you
do. When you are asleep, your body uses nearly one calorie an hour for every
kilogram of weight. So a person who weights seventy kilos uses about 560 calories
while sleeping for eight hours. More calories are needed for different activities -
from 100 calories an hour for reading or watching TV, to 350 calories an hour for
playing football.
To calculate the number of calories needed per day for an everage person,
first find out the person's ideal weight. Then multiply the weight by 40 for a woman



or 46 for a man. A 60 - kilo woman may need about 2400 calories a day - more if she
does heavy physical work and less if she is very inactive.

34. Which statement is NOT TRUE according to the text?
a. To read something for an hour, a person needs 100 calories.
b. A person needs 350 calories per hour to play football.
c. Inactive persons do not need calories at all.
d. Food is burnt by the body to get energy.

35. How many calories do we need? It depends on ....
a. how old we are c. our weight and what we do
b. how heavy we are d. our age and our weight

36. The text mainly tells us about ....
a. energy c.protein
b. calories d.minerals

37. A sportsman will need ... a businessman.
a. as many calories as c.more calories than
b. not so many calories as d.less calories than

38. "…more if she does heavy physical work and less if she is very inactive."
The underlined word means....
a. very active c. rather active
b. quite active d.not active

The Manager of KEN TOUR
Jl. Ahmad Yani 12 Surabaya.

Dear sir,
We are sorry to complain about the service that your travel agency
provided on our school holiday Bali Tour Feb, 22 - 24.
First, on our arrival we had to stay outside despite of our tiredness after 12
hours. The people in charge said that all the rooms were still occupied by another
tour group. We were welcomed to check in after 5 hours of waiting. That means our
tour was two hours delayed. Consequently we missed one of the places to visit.
At dinner time, many of us found no food left so we bought dinner outside.
We look forward to receiving your response.

Thank you,
Yours faithfully

Common types of calendars can be based on the Sun or on the Moon. The solar
calendar is based on the solar year. Since the solar year is 365.2422 days long, solar
calendars consist of regular years of 365 days and have an extra day every fourth year,
or leap year, to make up for the additional fractional amount. In a solar calendar, the
waxing and waning of the moon can take place at various stages of each month.
The lunar calendar is synchronized to the lunar month rather than the solar year.
Since the lunar month is wenty-nine and a half days long, most lunar calendars have
alternating months of twenty-nine and thirty days. A twelve month lunar year thus has
354 days shorter than a solar year.

a. All calendars are the same.
b. The solar calendar is based on the sun.

The Stone Age was a period of history which began in approximately 2 million B.C. and
lasted until 3000 B.C. Its name was derived from the stone tools and weapons that modern
scientists found. This period was divided into the Paleolithic, Mesolithic, and Neolithic Ages.
During the first period, (2 million to 8000 B.C.) the fist hatchet and use of fire for heating and
cooking were developed. As a result of the Ice Age, which evolved about 1 million years into the



Paleolithic Age, people were forced to seek shelter in caves, wear clothing, and developed new

Vaccines are prepared from harmful viruses or bacteria and administered to patients to
provide immunity to specific diseases. The various types of vaccines are classified according to
the method by which they are derived.
The most basic class of vaccines actually contains disease-causing micro-organisms that
have been killed with a solution containing formaldehyde. In this type of vaccine, the
microorganisms are dead and therefore cannot cause disease; however, the antigens found in
and on the microorganisms can still stimulate the formation of antibodies. Examples of this
type of vaccine are the ones that fight influenza, typhoid fever, and cholera.

The largest lake in the western United States is the Great Salt Lake, an inland lake in
northwestern Utah, just outside the state capital of Salt Lake City. Rivers and streams feed into
the Great Salt Lake, but none drain out of it; this has a major influence on both the salt content
and the size of the lake.
Although the Great Salt Lake is fed by freshwater streams, it is actually saltier than the
oceans of the world. The salt comes from the more than two million tons of minerals that flow
into the lake each year from the rivers and creeks that feed it. Sodium and chloride – the
components of salt – comprise the large majority of the lake’s mineral content.
The Great Salt Lake can vary tremendously from its normal size of 1,700 square miles,
depending on long-term weather conditions. During periods of heavy rains, the size of the lake
can swell tremendously from the huge amounts of water flowing into the lake from its feeder
rivers and streams; in 1980 the lake even reached a size of 2,400 square miles. During periods
of dry weather, the size of the lake decreases, sometimes drastically, due to evaporation.

13. How is the information in the passage organized?
a. Two unusual characteristics of the Great Salt Lake are discussed
b. Contrasting theories about the Great salt Lake’s salt levels are presented
c. The process by which the Great Salt Lake gets its salt is outlined

According to the theory of continental drift, the continents are not fixed in position but
instead move slowly across the surface of the earth, constantly changing in position relative to
one another. This theory was first proposed in the eighteenth century when mapmakers
noticed how closely the continents of earth fit together when they were matched up. It was
suggested then that the present-day continents had once been one large continent that had
broken up into pieces which drifted apart.
Today the modern theory of plate tectonics has developed from the theory of continental
drift. The theory of plate tectonics suggests that the crust of the earth is divided into six large,
and many small, tectonic plates that drift on the lava that composes the inner core of the earth.
These plates consist of ocean floor and continents that quite probably began breaking up and
moving relative to one another more than 200 million years ago.

Kemari is a traditional Japanese game believed to have orogonated in China. The game
can be played by twelve players, all wearing traditional clothes called Kariginu, complete with a
conical hat. The outfit may look more appropriate for a stage performance, but apparently
there are what ancient Japanese wore when they were working out!
The players gather in a square marked with different trees (pine, maple, cherry, and
willow) on its corner. A ball called mari and made from deer skin is thrown into the air.
The players have to keep the ball in the air by kicking it. The longer the ball stays in the
air, the more exciting the game is. They shout ariyaaa! (Here we go!) whenever they kick the
ball up, and when they pass the ball to another player they shout ari (Here!). You can always
hear ariyaaa, ariyaaa, ari! when a game of Kemari is in full swing.

amount of pollen in the air is largely dependent on geographical location, weather, and season.
In the eastern section of the United States, for example, there are generally three periods when
pollen from various sources can cause intensive hay fever suffering: in the springtime months of
March and April when pollen from trees is prevalent, in the summer month of June and July
when grass pollen fills the air, and at the end of August when ragweed pollen is at its most
concentrated levels.
