An international team of scientists says it has found a “lost world” in the Indonesian jungle
that is the home to dozens of new animals and plant species. “It’s as close to the Garden of Eden as you’re
going to find on Earth,” said Bruce Beehler, co-leader of the group.
The group of Indonesian, American and Australian researchers trekked through an area in the mist -
shrouded Foja Mountainns of north-western Papua. After being dropped off by helicopter, the researchers
spent nearly a month in the area, detailing the wildlife and plantlife from the lower hills to near the summit of
the Foja range, which reaches more than 2,000m in elevation.
The team found four new species of butterflies, twenty new species of frogs, and a whole series of
remarkable plants including five new palms and a giant rhododendron flower. The survey also found a
honeyeater bird that was previously unknown to science and the first new bird species discovered on the
island of New Guinea since 1939.They also found the breeding grounds of a “lost” bird of paradise. The six-
wired bird of paradise was first seen in the late 19 th century but hadn’t been found again since. The team
also took the first photographs of the golden fronted bowerbird displaying its plunge. The team also
recorded a golden mantled tree kangaroo, which was not known to be in this area and is near extinction in
other areas. “It’s beautiful, untouched, unpopulated forest, there is no evidence of human impact or
presence”said Dr. Beehler,.

There are three separate sources of hazard in the process of supplying energy by nuclear power.
The radioactive material must travel from its place of manufacture to the power station. Although the
power station themselves are solidly built, the container used the transport of the materials are not. There
are normally only two methods of transport available, namely road and rail. Unfortunately, both of these
involve close contact with the general public, since the routes are sure to pass near, or even though, heavily
populated areas.
Next, there is the problem of waste. All nuclear power station produce waste that in most cases will
remain radioactive for thousands of years. It is impossible to make these wastes non radioactive, and so
they must be stored in one of the inconvenient ways that scientists have invented. For example they may be
buried under the ground, or dropped into abandoned mines, or sunk in the sea. However, these methods do
not solve the problem, since an earthquake could easily crack the containers open.
Finally, there is the problem of accidental exposure due to leak or an explosion at the power station. As
with the other two hazards, this is not very likely, so that it does not provide a serious objection to the
nuclear program. Nevertheless, it can happen.
Separately, these three types of risks are not great cause for concern. On the whole through, the
probability of disaster is still high.
32. What makes the transport of radioactive materials dangerous for people’s lives?
a. The road
b. The container
c. The rail
d. The power station
e. The heavily populated areas
34. In spite of the problem which are likely to occur in supplying energy by nuclear power, the
Writer thinks that ….
a. people will strongly object to it
b. the probability of disaster is high
c. hazard should be rigidly controlled
d. it’s worth conducting nuclear programs
e. there is a great cause for concern
35. We may conclude from the third paragraph that the problem of accidental exposure is caused
by…..
a. human error
b. an earthquake
c. radioactive waste
d. hazards
e. bad design of the nuclear station

Why Is the World’s Population So Unevenly Distributed ?
Population distribution refers to the way in which people are spread out over a land area. The
world’s population is not evenly spread out. Why do you think this is so? There are two main factors that
influence population distribution; a) the physical condition of the place and b) the level of technology of the
people. This refers to knowledge, skills and tools that the people have.
People tend to settle in areas where the soil is fertile and the climate is not too harsh. That is why
river deltas, such as Nile Delta in Egypt, are densely populated. There are fewer people living in hilly areas
with harsh climate because the extreme physical conditions make living and farming very difficult.
However, it is not impossible for people to survive under unfavorable living conditions. With
improvements in technology, places which were previously thought to be unsuitable for people can become
suitable. For example, an area with dry and hot area, such as Arizona, can be made more comfortable by
having buildings fitted with air-conditioners. Farming may be difficult in a place without fertile land and
adequate rainfall, but if the people earn their living by other means and not agriculture, the place will still be
populated.

36. After reading the text above, what is the main information in it?
a. The world’s population is not evenly distributed
b. The world’s population is evenly populated
c. It is impossible to survive under unfavorable living condition

e. Technology is able to change the suitable condition
39. These are the factors that influence population distribution, except ;
a. the physical condition
b. the level of the technology of the people
c. the knowledge of the people
d. the size of height of people
e. the tools or instruments that people use

PATTY THE MILKMAID
Patty the Milkmaid was going to market carrying her milk in a pail on her head. As she went
along she began calculating what she would do with the money she would get for the milk. “I will buy some
fowls from Farmer Brown,” said she, “And they will lay eggs each morning, which I will sell to the Parson’s
wife. With the money that I get from the sale of these eggs, I’ll buy myself a new dimity frock and a chip hat;
and when I go to market, won’t all the young men come up and speak to me ! Polly Shaw will be that
jealous; but I don’t care. I shall just look at her and toss my head like this.” As she spoke she tossed her
head back, the pail fell off it and all the milk was split. So she had to go home and tell her mother what had
occurred.
“Ah, my child,” said the mother, “Do not count your chickens before they are hatched.”

SHOULD EXAMINATIONS BE ABOLISHED?
Many people say that examinations should be abolished because they are not the best measure of
students’ capabilities. These people believe that students can study on their own and do better without the
nagging worry and pressure exerted by examinations.
Yet, there are persuasive reasons to show that examinations should not be abolished. It is
insufficient that teachers assign homework and correct it. Because this is not done under supervision, they
can not be sure that it is really the work of the students themselves. Moreover, homework is not a test of
student’s ability; homework is more a method of merely keeping him occupied.
Nowadays, in the hunt for jobs, students need to produce some evidence of their capabilities.
Prospective employers like to see copies of examination results; this is the only way a student’s
qualifications can be judged. This attitude greatly encourages the use of examinations, if not making them a
necessity.
50. People say that examination should be abolished. What does the underlined mean?
a. be banned
b. be forbidden
c. be regarded
d. be applied
e. be discarded
