Text 3 for question number 8- 12
When fossil fuels, or other fuels, such as wood or peat, which contain carbon are burned, carbon dioxide is
released into the atmosphere. Vehicles also give out, and so add, carbon dioxide to the atmosphere.
The Earths atmosphere allows most of the Suns rays to pass through it to heat the Earths surface. The Earth
reflects much of the heat energy back into the atmosphere, but much of this reflected radiation cannot escape because
gases such as carbon dioxide absorb it. They grow warm and send
heat radiation back to Earth. This is the greenhouse effect. Many scientists think that the greenhouse effect may change
the climate, over the next 100 years or so.

UKK/X MIPA dan IPS/B. Ingg. Lintas minat/2016

One consequence of so called "global warming" resulting from the greenhouse effect could be melting of the
polar ice - caps. This in turn, could lead to a rise in sea level which could flood large areas of highly populated coastal
land.
If carbon dioxide proves to be as harmful as thought, in order to reduce carbon dioxide levels we need to
reduce the amounts of carbon-rich fuels burned.

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 from
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 phosporus from the soilgreen 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.

Text 5 for no. 18-21
When we need food, our body begins to crave for it. But how do we know that we are hungry? How does our mind
get the message and make us feel hungry? Hunger has nothing to do with an empty stomach, as most people believe. A
baby is born with an empty stomach, yet it doesnt feel hungry for several days. People who are ill often have empty
stomach but dont feel hungry. They just simply loose their appetite.
Hunger begins when the blood is getting out of some certain nutritive materials. When the blood vessels lack of
these materials, a message is sent to a part of the brain that is called the hunger center. This part of the brain works
like a brake in the intestine. As long as the blood has sufficient nutrition, the hunger center makes the intestine works
more actively. Thats why a hungry person often hears his stomach rumbling.
Feeling hungry indicates our body needs nourishment that comes from variety of good quality of food. For
instance, from vegetables, meats, eggs, and dairy products like milk and butter.
How long can we survive without food? That depends on the individuals body condition. A very calm person can
live longer without food than an excitable one because the protein stored up in his or her body is used less actively.
18. The text is mainly discusses about .
a.

A frog was having a bath in a puddle in the middle of the jungle. He appeared quite happy splashing about in the
water.
A fox passing by asked contemptuously, What are you doing in the mud, you slimy creature? How can you get
about with a pair of short legs and one pair of extra long ones?
Youd better watch out you with your hairy nose, replied the frog. Im the (36)......frog in this whole jungle! I

The fox couldnt (37)......... what she was hearing. You? Quicker than me? Very well, lets have a race. Meet me
at the guava tree, twelve oclock sharp!
They met at the appointed hour. Frog had brought along his friend, duck. Duck had a very loud (38) ......, so he was
going to shout out the starting signal.
They stood at the starting line, ready to dash off. Duck quacked the start signal. Fox started running. Frog, standing
on his hind legs, took one almighty leap and landed on the foxs tail, where he hung on. Fox was so concentrated on her
running that she didnt notice a thing.
After having sprinted as fast as she could for
a few minutes, fox stopped and turned round. She laughed. Frog was nowhere to be seen, she knew she had already
won the race; all she had to do now was saunter along at a gentle pace. All the time frog was hanging on to foxs tail,
unobserved.

legs, made another almightily terrific jump. He landed over the finish line, just as fox was about to cross it.
Frog jumped up and down. Ive won! Ive won!
Fox was incandescent with rage. You cheat! You slimy spotty little cheat!
Frog just laughed. I was first to cross the line, he said You lost!
Fox turned to duck, but duck (40) .........that frog was the winner. Frog won the race fair and square, he quacked.
From that time on, whenever a fox passes a frog, it lifts it tail up in the air!

I was waiting for so long

For a miracle to come
Everyone told me to be strong
Hold on and don't shed a tear
Through the darkness and good times
I knew I'd make it through
And the world thought I had it all
But I was waiting for you
Hush now
I see a light in the sky
Oh, it's almost blinding me
I can't believe
I've been touched by an angel with love
Let the rain come down and wash away my tears
Let it fill my soul and drown my fears
Let it shatter the walls for a new sun
A new day has...come

Where it was dark now there's light

Where there was pain now there's joy
Where there was weakness, I found my strength
