SUMATRAN ELEPHANTS The Sumatran elephant’s habitat is in Sumatra, Indonesia. The average male elephant reaches eight feet high and weighs up to six tons. A baby elephant can weigh up to one ton. The males are always larger than the females. They are massive creatures. Elephants have a trunk, two tusks, two eyes, two ears and two lumps on their head. They are known to be clever animals. When elephants are hot, they fan themselves by flapping their ears back and forth. When an elephant herd wants to move, they use their ears as a guide. Their hearing range is very large. Elephants hear some noises that cannot be heard by a human ear. Sumatran elephants have enough strength to knock down a tree. They can also pick up a log using just their trunk and their tusks. Their trunk is their nose. They also use it like a hand. Just below their trunk they have their tusks. Only male Sumatran elephants have tusks. A baby elephant is called a calf, the females are called cows, and the males are called bulls. Sumatran elephants are very social animals. They use sounds to communicate with each other. Sumatran elephants roam around the jungle pushing over trees. As they walk they use their roaring sounds to communicate. Elephants are very protective of their young. When they are attacked, the older elephants surround their young in the middle of a circle with the bulls on the outside. All of the females are protective of the young. These animals travel in large groups. Elephants are known to eat a lot of food. They eat anything but meat. They eat bananas, palm tree leaves, and almost any other plant. Because elephants have a tremendous appetite, much of Sumatra’s jungles and crops are being trampled down.

Should Nuclear Energy be Avoided or Not for The Shake of Environmental Safety ?

Nuclear energy is commonly offered as an alternative to overcome the crisis of energy. The debate whether the use of nuclear energy is an appropriate choice has not come to an end. Some people agree with the utilization of it because of its benefits. Some others, however, disagree because of its risks to the environmental safety. So, nuclear energy should be avoided. Those who agree with the operation of nuclear reactors usually argue that the energy which is produced from them can be used for multipurpose. The reactors can produce radioisotopes which are utilized in medical, industrial and agricultural fields. They also claim that nuclear energy is the only feasible choice to answer the ever-increasing energy needs. According to them, the other sources of energy; oil, and liquid natural gas are not renewable and safe, while the nuclear energy can be produced in a safe way. In addition they believe that nuclear energy will never cause pollution, but oil and coal will not. On the other hand, people who disagree with the use of nuclear energy, keep criticizing that to choose it as the best alternative to overcome the growing energy needs is silly. The silliness can be seen from the question why they are interested in nuclear power when there is still an abundance of natural energy resources, like oil, coal, hydroelectric, thermal, etc.

46. “ … the growing energy needs is silly.” The SYNONYM of silly is ………………………………. A. smart B. foolish C. diligent D. naïf E. simple 47. What is the communicative purpose of the text ? A. to explain the processes involved in the formation or workings of natural

Why should nuclear energy be avoided ? A. because it is an appropriate choice B. because of its benefits C. nuclear energy will never cause pollution D. because it is not safe E. because of its risks to the environmental safety 50. it as the best alternative to overcome the growing energy.

Forest’s Function Forests are areas that are full of trees. We can find them in the islands of Indonesia. They spread along the islands of Sumatera, Java, Kalimantan, Irian and other island in Indonesia. They are very important for our lives. Forests give us many kinds of export commodities such as timber, rattans, as well as rubber. Forests also protect us from danger of floods. In the rainy season the roots of the trees in the forests absorb the rain water and store it under the ground. In the dry season the water will come out and it is very useful for us for reservoir, and irrigation. If there are no forests, the rain water cannot be stored, there will be erosion of the soil and we will suffer from terrible floods. Forests also help us to purify the air of pollution. The trees of the forests need carbon dioxide from the air and send the oxygen out into the air, which make the air fresh and pure. The fresh and pure air is needed for our health.

With the economy expected to grow by 6 percent this year, the government still faces the formidable task of reducing the unemployment rate and creating enough jobs to absorb those people entering the workforce for the first time. An average of 2.4 million enters the workforce each year while the jobs offered are less than that.

Commenting on a report from the Central Statistics Agency (BPS) indicating that unemployment continued to rise, Muhammad Chatib Basri of the University of Indonesia said on Saturday that only after next year that the economic growth manage to absorb all firs-time jobseekers.

“The best thing that the government can do to improve the economy is to slow down the rising unemployment rate,” he told the Jakarta Post. “The country’s employment climate in particular needs to be fixed to stimulate the creation of more jobs.” The government’s pledge to reduce unemployment was again questioned when the BPS reported last week that the open unemployment figure increased by 600,000 during the six month period ending in February. The country’s workforce increased by 1.8 million people. From 104 million last August to 105.8 million in February, but the number of people employed only rose by 1.2 million, or 31.2 percent. This is all because the country’s economic growth was driven more by capital-intensive rather than labour-intensive investment.

Therefore, unless the government comes up with major infrastructure investments projects to kick start labor intensive activities, the country will still have to face the high rate unemployment in the forth coming years.

24. What is the main idea of the first paragraph? A. Although the economy expected to grow by 6 percent this year, it is difficult for the government to reduce the unemployment rate and to create enough jobs B. The best thing that the government can do to improve to improve the economy is to slow down the rising unemployment rate.

C. The country’s employment climate in particular needs to be fixed to stimulate the creation of more jobs. D. The government’s pledge to reduce unemployment was again questioned when the BPS reported last week that the open unemployment figure increased by 600,000 during the six month period ending in February. E. The country’s workforce increased by 1.8 million people but the number of people employed only rose by 1.2 million.

25. Which of these statements has a similar meaning to this sentence? “The best thing that the government can do to improve the economy is to slow down the rising unemployment rate.” A. It is bad if the government will do nothing to improve the economy. B. The best thing that the government can do is slowing down the economic growth. C. Slowing down the rising unemployment rate is the best way to improve our economy. D. Our economy will get worse although the government manages to slow down the rising unemployment rate E.

Dangerous Careers There are many jobs which people considered as very dangerous but they produce a lot of income. They include jobs like a stuntman, racing drivers and boxers.

Once upon a time, there was a fisherman whose name Batara Guru Sahala lived in Batak land. One day he caught a fish. He was surprised to find that the fish could talk like human being. It begged Sahala to let her free. He did accordingly.

As soon as the fish was free, it changed into a woman. She was so beautiful that Sahala fell in love with her at once. He asked her to marry him. The woman agreed to marry Sahala. However, she told him that he must never let out the secret that she was once a fish. Sahala promised her that he could not tell anyone about it.

They married happily, and had two daughters. Every morning Sahala went out fishing. His daughter would bring him his lunch. One day, however, instead of bringing the food to their father, the two girls ate it.

When Sahala knew what they had done with meal, he got very angry. He shouted at them saying, “you behave exactly like the daughters of fish !”
