When I woke up, the moon had move behind a cloud and it was very dark and

something. Something terrible and frightening, and unlike anything I have ever seen

before. Something was come out of the water and moving towards me. Something

green and strange and ugly. He was a long green arm and it was stretching out from the

water to grabbed my leg. I was so scared that I couldn't move. I had never be so scared

in my whole life. The cold green hand were moving closer and closer when suddenly there

was a blue flash and a strange noise from behind me.

Question 3
Read the article carefully and answer the questions (a)-(h)
You do not need any real experience in mountain climbing to conquer the highest peak of Southeast Asia, but it pays to
be fit. While the summit of Mount Kinabalu can be reached in two days, a three-day climb is less strenuous and allows
you more time to indulge in the natural beauty of the surroundings. However, champion mountain runners at the annual
Mount Kinabalu International Climbathon, proclaimed the 'toughest mountain race in the world', have been known to
run up and down the mountain in under three hours!

Climbers will pass Layang-Layang Hut (the Place of Swallows) at 2,703m above sea level and pass the Villosa Shelter
and a helipad where one can catch sweeping views of the Summit Plateau. Further on you will come upon the Paka
Cave Shelter, where the first explorers slept. To break journey, climbers will spend a night at Laban Rata, which is
equipped with a hostel and a restaurant.

To reach the summit, there are two trails, namely Summit Trail via Timpohon Gate and Mesilau - Layang Layang Trail
has been closed following an earthquake which occured in 2015. The new trail will take climbers from Laban Rata
situated at an altitude of 3,272m, to Sayat Sayat at 3,668m before they continue on the summit trail to Low's Peak at
4,095.2m. The new trail is slightly longer but offers beautiful views of the picturesque Ranau Valley. The terrain is also
more challenging but ladders and steps are in place to help climbers. The alternative trail, is called the Kota Belud
route. It takes a westerly course from Panalaban, but eventually leads to Sayat Sayat.

After a short night's rest, you need to be ready by 2.30am in order to catch the sunrise at the peak. It takes about three
hours to reach the peak and there are ladders and ropes to help you over the steeper terrain. En route, marvel at the
rugged landscape of cliffs, gorges, gulleys, plateaus and precipices.

At 4,095.2m above sea level and in the freezing hours of early dawn, you reach the summit of Mount Kinabalu. In an
almost sacred moment, the dawn of a new day unfolds gloriously before you.

Question 4
Read the article carefully and answer the questions (a)-(j)
Planet Nine - A New Planet Beyond Pluto?

Astronomers may have discovered a ninth planet, beyond Pluto, in our solar system. Planet Nine, as it is
called, may have ten times the mass of the earth and four times the size. The planet, which has not yet
been detected by telescopes, may take up 20,000 years to orbit the sun.

The closest the new planet comes to the sun may be about 15 times the distance of Pluto. Then it heads
out to a distance of 150 billion kilometers, or 75 times farther than the dwarf planet. Scientists are hoping
to detect it when it comes closer to earth. Today's telescopes are so strong that the planet should be able
to be seen within the next few years.

Astronomers made the discovery when they saw small objects that were aligned in a row in the Kuiper
Belt, a region that contains countless objects that orbit the sun near Pluto. This meant that they might be
pulled towards another, far larger object, that couldn't be seen.

The former planet Pluto is also thought to be one of the Kuiper Belt objects which have unusual orbits,
unlike the orbits of the other planets. Planet Nine may be an object that was knocked out of the solar
system when it was created.

For a long time scientists and astronomers have wondered if there were any planets outside the orbit of
Pluto. Ironically, the astronomers who discovered the possible existence of Planet Nine are the same who
degraded Pluto to a dwarf planet a few years ago.

Or anything under the sun.
If Frankenstein monster

Full of horrors on the telly, him.

Not Dad, not on your Nelly! 5

So why, when a spider's in the bath, Does

"Found out how Velos picks the winner," said Geoff.
"Oh?"

"Climbs on top of his lovely special mahogany desk almost falls off when the school bell goes off. Anyway he stands on his
desk with your story in his right hand and mine in his left, reaches up, tippytoe, and drops them both. The one that hits the
floor first is the winner."
Lynne laughed.
"Really. Next time use heavier paper."
And after that Lynne was back to normal.
Geoff was all right, even if he had made it hard to listen to 0I'Velos with a straight face.

Geoff caught Lynne as she shambled along the corridor.

"I'm sorry Lynne, really sorry, but it's fixed now."
Lynne shook her head and forced the words out.
"I didn't want fo win that way."
"I know," Geoff said. "But I can't do anything else. Sorry."
He left her and walked tiredly to his class.
