The sugar glider is a marsupial,
just like the many other Australian animals - the kangaroo, the koala and the
wombat for instance. The sugar glider is a possum - very similar to the tupai
in Indonesia. It basically lives in trees. It eats leaves and fruit. However,
the Australian sugar glider has a very special skill. It can jump from tree to
tree like a tupai but it can also `sort of fly' as well. In fact, it glides or terbang
layang in Bahasa Indonesia. When it jumps from one tree to another
it spreads its four legs out wide; and its extra skin also spreads out and
functions like a parachute.

Dinosaurs
were a type of lizards. They lived from about 230 million to about 65 million
years ago. In 1842, Sir Richard Owen created the word dinosaur. It came from
Greek words deino.s, meaning "terrible" and sauros, meaning
"lizard". Dinosaurs lived on earth for about 140 million years.
During
the dinosaurian era, the days were short. The sun was not as hot as it is
today. On earth there was only one big continent and one big ocean. The name of
the continent was pangea (all lands) and the name of the ocean was panthallassa
(all seas).
There
were many kinds of dinosaurs. Some of them were very big and some others were
small. Some dinosaurs ate leaves and some others ate meat. Some dinosaurs could
fly.

Butterflies
start out as eggs. Butterflies lay their eggs on leaves. The egg hatches into a
caterpillar with a tube-shaped body. The caterpillar eats leaves, buds, or
flowers of plants. Caterpillars eat a lot and grow fast. Some caterpillars harm
plants.
When
a caterpillar is full size, it goes into another stage called a chrysalis.
Caterpillars attach themselves to something solid before becoming a chrysalis.
The caterpillar inside the chrysalis changes into a butterfly. Some butterflies
make the change in one week. Some butterflies take years to
change. .
When
the change is complete, the adult butterfly splits the chrysalis. The insect
unfolds its wings and pumps blood and air into them. It spreads out the wings
until they dry and harden. The beautiful butterfly then flies off to slurp
nectar from flowers. Most butterflies live only one or two weeks.

Avian
Influenza is an infection caused by Avian (bird) influenza (flu) viruses. These
occur naturally among birds. Wild birds worldwide carry the viruses in their
intestines, but usually do not get sick from them. However, avian influenza is
very contagious among birds and can make some domesticated birds, including
chickens, ducks and turkeys, very sick and kill them.
Infected
birds shed influenza virus in their saliva, nasal secretions and feces.
Susceptible birds become infected when they have contact with contaminated
secretions or excretions from infected birds. Domesticated birds may contact
with surfaces ( such as dirt or cages) or materials such as water or food )
that have been contaminated.
Infected
with avian influenza viruses in domestic poultry causes two main forms of
disease that are distinguished by low and high extremes of virulence. The low
pathogenic form may go un-detected and usually causes only maid symptoms (such
as ruffle feathers and a drop in reproduction. However, the highly pathogenic
form spreads more rapidly through flocks of poultry. This form may cause
disease that affects multiple internal organs and has a mortality rate that can
reach 90-100% often within 48 hours.

There are 7000 known mud volcanoes worldwide, and about 4000 of these are found
in eastern Azerbaijan and the Caspian sea. The rest are in Trinidad, Alaska and
the Andaman Islands.
The newest is in Sidoarjo, East Java. It is un-usual because it is huge and
according to Sam Rice, a Geologist from Cambridge University, it is probably
between typical mud volcano and hydrothermal vent, with an unlikely high
temperature of 60 degrees Celcius, containing a high concentration of hydrogen
sulfide gas that suggests there exist some kind of a volcano or hypothermal
activity.
Mud and gas accumulation is formed when sea sediment and sea water are trapped,
when one tectonic plates slides under another continental plate. The gas erupt
from a volcano or a crack in the earth’s crust because of oil drilling or an
earthquake.

Nearly
all energy is derived from the sun, either indirectly or directly. In the form
of heat rays and light rays.
Electrical
energy is derived from the sun indirectly. It can be derived from the power of
water falling down a mountainside. The water falls as rain, which is formed by
the evaporation of the water on the earth's surface, by means of the sun heat.
This water vapor rises, condenses on cooling, and falls as rain.
The
light and heat energy from coal is also derived indirectly from the sun. Coal
was formed by the pressure of the rocks on vegetation, which died millions of
years ago. That vegetation grew with the aid of sunlight from which
carbohydrates were formed, thus converting indirect aid on the sun. Plants and
Animals were pressed under the rock in the earth. This dead
animal and vegetable remains formed petroleum from which petrol and oil are now
obtained.
Thus
the sun can be said to be the source of nearly all energy, and in absence of
the sun's heat and light, no life could exist on earth.
22. What is the text about?
A. Electrical energy as the
promising energy
B. The energy from the coal

Food
poisoning is a disorder of the stomach and intestines caused by bacteria or
chemicals in food.
The
classis form of food poisoning is caused by staphylococci (bacteria commonly
known as staph). The staph germs enter the food during preparation. As a result
of the food not properly refrigerated the bacteria multiply hourly,
contaminating the food with toxin (poison). As staph germs and their toxins are
odorless and tasteless the contaminated food smells and tastes normal.
Eating
contaminated food causes vomiting, abdominal cramps and diarrhea within one to
six hours. Thus, food poisoning is frequently caused by staphylococci, which
contaminate food during preparation and enter the stomach and intestines during
eating.

Skin
is an important organ of the human body. It covers all of the body and performs
many special functions.
Skin is the largest organ in the human body. It weights between two or
three kilograms and is either glabrous or hairy. Glabrous skin is
that found on the palms of the hands and the souls of the feet. It is smooth
and hairless. Hairy skin covers the rest of the body and this varies in
the texture, thickness and amount of hair.
Skin is made up to two layers. The outer layer is the epidermis. This is
mainly dead or dying skin cells. Beneath the epidermis is the
dermis. The dermis is made from tougher fibers and is thicker
than the epidermis. Within the dermis are nerves, blood vessels and
glands.
Skin does a number of important things for a body. It provides a
protective covering for the body, helps to prevent the body from drying
out, holds the body organs in place and regulates the bodies

Forest
cover about one quarter of the land surface. Most are rain forests, but there
are two other important types.
Rain
forests grow in hot; wet, tropical regions of the world and contain hundreds of
species of broad leaved trees, shrubs and plants. The abundance of food and
water means that these forests can support large numbers of many species of
insects, birds and animals. The Amazon Forest in South America is the world's
largest rain forest.
Coniferous
forest is a forest cone-bearing trees grow. Nearly all conifers are evergreen
and have needle-like trees. Some conifers, such as larches, do shed their
leaves. Coniferous forest grows in cooler, northern region of the world and
high up on mountains. These forests are found across North America, northern

Plants are living beings. They need food, water and air for survival.
Plants derive their food from the earth and the air. If you look at their
roots, you will find that the ends of these roots are like fine fibers. We call
them root-hairs. They absorb water and minerals, then transport them upwards to
the leaves through the trunk and the branches. It is the leaves which prepare
the food.
The green material, chlorophyll, prepares the food like a machine. It converts
the carbon dioxide taken from the air and water from the ground into sugar with
the help of sunlight. This chemical reaction is called photosynthesis. In fact,
the chlorophyll takes energy from the sunlight and uses it to synthesize the
hydrogen from water and carbon dioxide for making sugar. This reaction also
gives out oxygen and water which are excreted by the leaves.

A. one

Snakes are reptiles. They belong to the same group as lizards, but form a
sub-group of their own.
Snakes have no legs. A long time ago they had claws to help them slither along.
But they are not slimy. They are covered in scales which are just bumps on the
skin. Their skin is hard and glossy to reduce friction as the snake slithers
along the ground.
Snakes often sun bath on rocks in the warm weather. This is because snakes are
cold-blooded and they need the sun’s warmth to heat their body up.

in water, but most live on the ground in deserted rabbit burrows, in thick,
long grass and in old logs.

they have approximately named SAD, or Seasonal Affective Disorder. People who
suffer from this illness become really stressed and depressed during the winter
month.

exposed to. Doctors believe that this condition may cause disturbance in the
body’s natural clock which could result in symptoms such as lethargy,
oversleeping, weight gain, anxiety, and irritability- all signs of depression.

The heart is the most important part of the body. It is
the courentre of life. However the heart is only as big as a closed hand.
The heart is a muscle and it beats about seventy times
per minute throughout a person’s life.
The heart pumps blood from your eart h to all parts of your body. The heart
is made up of your chambers or a smsll rooms. The top chambers are called
the right and left auricles (serambi) and the bottom chambers are the right and
left ventricles (rongga/bilik).
When blood enters the heart, it is in dark reddish color
because it contains carbondioxide. The blood enters the right auricle and then
the right ventricle. When the heart contracts, it forces the blood to the lungs
where the blood receives oxygen. It then goes to the left auricle. The heart
contracts again, and the blood goes to the left ventricle and is then forced
out into the body. The blood gathers carbondioxide and returns to the heart,
and the process begins again.
