Galileo Galilei (1564-1642) — Astronomer and Scientist. Galileo developed a superior

telescope and made many significant discoveries in astronomy. He was sentenced to life
imprisonment by the inquisition for his support for the Copernican theory that the sun was at
the center of the solar system. Galileo was born in Florence, Italy in 1564 to a poor but noble
family. His parents recognized their child’ s innate intelligence and talents and so made
sacrifices to have him educated. At his father’ s insistence, Galileo studied the profitable
career of medicine. But, at the University of Pisa, Galileo became fascinated in a wide range
of subjects. He was also critical of many of Aristotle’ s teaching which had dominated
education for the past 2,000 years. Galileo was appointed to be a mathematics professor at the
University of Pisa, but his strident criticisms of Aristotle left him isolated among his
contemporaries. After three years of persecution, he resigned and went to the University of
Padua, where he taught math. His entertaining lectures attracted a large following and he was
able to spend the next 18 years pursuing his interests in astronomy and mechanics.

16. According to the biography, why did Galileo Galilei resign from his teaching job at the
University of Pisa?
A. He had attracted many followers.
B. He was persecuted for three years.
C. He was appointed as a mathematics professor.
D. He had a better offer from the University of Padua.

B. stubborn
C. tenacious
D. arrogant

Nowadays, the police have been applying the new regulation concerning the use of
seat belts. In European countries, this regulation has been applied for a long time.
However, this new regulation has become controversial and is an interesting topic to
discuss. Here are some of the arguments. The use of seat belts has been proven to
reduce the risk of injury or death in an accident. Seat belt has become a standard
component in cars. The research shows that most car accident will cause an injury to
the head. Frequently, drivers or the passengers driving without seat belts die because
of this. By wearing the seat belts, the injury will not happen since belts restrain our
body on the car seat when the accident happens. Unfortunately, many cars, especially
the old ones, don’ t have seat belts. This is because the traffic conditions in the past
were unlike the recent traffic conditions. The designer of old cars didn’ t consider a
seat belt as an important part.
Besides, the drivers wearing the seat belt will think that they are completely safe, so
they may drive carelessly. They are safe, indeed, but how about safety of other? The
seat belt is only one of the ways to reduce the risk of car accidents. It doesn’ t mean
that we are completely safe. In short, our safety depends on ourselves.

19. What is the function of seat belts?

A. To reduce the traffic conditions.
B. To become a standard component in cars.
C. To reduce the risk of injury or death in an accident.
D. To prevent the drivers driving cars carefully.
E. To increase the risk of injury in car accidents.

A. cars
B. seat belts
C. drivers
D. designers
E. others

Snakes are reptiles (cold-blooded creatures). They belong to the same group as lizard (the
scaled group, Squamata) but from a sub-group of their own (Serpentes).
Snakes have two legs but along time ago they had claws to help them slither along. Snakes
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 bathe on rock in the warm weather. this is because snake are cold-blooded,
they need the sun’ s warmth to heat their bodies up.
Most snakes live in the country. Some types of snakes live in trees, some live in water, but
most live on the ground in deserted rabbit burrows, in thick, long grass, and in old logs.
A snake’ s diet usually consist of frogs lizards, mice, and other snakes. The anaconda can
eat small crocodiles and even bears. Many snakes protect themselves with their fangs. Some

The use of formalin and other dangerous preservatives in food has been a serious
for two reasons. Firstly, formalin is not for human beings, but it is for biological
specimen and experiments. Formalin in biology is a 10% solution of formaldehyde in
water which is usually used as a disinfectant or to preserve biological specimens. Thus,
it is not for food preservative, it will be very dangerous to human’ s body.
The second reason is that there is not tight control from the government. This
condition makes the people’ s health is really in a threat. When the control is weak
and the use of formalin is spread wide all over the Indonesia regions, and these days
it has really happened, the citizens’ bodies will be badly contaminated with the
poisons. Fish or food traders still sell their product which contain formalin and
dangerous preservatives. Can you imagine that our digestive system absorbs the
substance the should be for the human and animal corpses?
Considering the reasons, we can makes a conclusion that the use of formalin and
other preservatives is really a serious problem if it is not resolved immediately.

26. Why is formalin dangerous for human’ s body?

A. It is not food preservatives.
B. It is a disinfectant for human beings.
C. It is used to preserve biological specimens.

I usually woke up at 8 a.m. and went to the press center to check the daily
schedule of briefings and press conferences, usually held by the United Nations
officials or disaster mitigation team chief, Alwi Shihab.
It was challenging to visit different refugee camps to find soft stories, human
interest stories. Then, I went back to the press center in between to cover the press
conferences of the day.
It was heart breaking when I saw these survivors fight for food and
secondhand clothing, which they said were limited and inadequate. Emerging to a
glaring, full noon, it was time to go back to the press center to write stories and race
against time, always fearing that the internet connection would come crashing
down.
And after everything was done, only then I remembered to eat. Most times, I
only ate once a day because you always had to rush and it was difficult to find food.

If someone is having a nose bleed, your priority is to control the bleeding and
keep their airway open. Get them to sit down (not lie down) as keeping the nose above
the heart will reduce bleeding. Get them to lean forward (not backwards), to make
sure the blood drains out through their pause every ten minutes, until the bleeding
stops. Encourage them not to speak, swallow, cough, spit or sniff because this may
break blood clots that may have started to form in the nose. If the bleeding is severe,
or if it lasts more than 30 minutes, call for medical help.

The text below is for questions number 38-41.

A tsunami is a series of ocean waves that sends surges of water, sometimes

reaching heights of over 100 feet (30.5 meters), onto land. These walls of water can
cause widespread destruction when they crash ashore.
These awe-inspiring waves are typically caused by large, undersea earthquakes
at tectonic plate boundaries. When the ocean floor at a plate boundary rises or falls
suddenly, it displaces the water above it and launches the rolling waves that will
become a tsunami.
Most tsunami, about 80 percent, happen within the Pacific Ocean's "Ring of
Fire," a geologically active area where tectonic shifts make volcanoes and
earthquakes common.
Tsunamis may also be caused by underwater landslides or volcanic eruptions.
They may even be launched, as they frequently were in Earth's ancient past, by the
impact of a large meteorite plunging into an ocean.
Tsunamis race across the sea at up to 500 miles (805 kilometers) an hour —
about as fast as a jet airplane. At that pace they can cross the entire expanse of the
Pacific Ocean in less than a day. And their long wavelengths mean they lose very
little energy along the way.
A tsunami's trough, the low point beneath the wave's crest, often reaches shore
first. When it does, it produces a vacuum effect that sucks coastal water seaward and
exposes harbor and sea floors. This retreating of sea water is an important warning
sign of a tsunami, because the wave's crest and its enormous volume of water
typically hit shore five minutes or so later. Recognizing this phenomenon can save
lives.
A tsunami is usually composed of a series waves, called a wave train, so its
destructive force may be compounded as successive waves reach shore. People
experiencing a tsunami should remember that the danger may not have passed with
the first wave and should await official word that it is safe to return to vulnerable
locations.
Some tsunamis do not appear on shore as massive breaking waves but instead
resemble a quickly surging tide that inundates coastal areas.

38. Why did the author write the report?

A. To raise people' awareness about tsunami.
B. To warn people about an upcoming tsunami.
C. To inform people about past tsunamis.
D. To inform people about the different types of tsunami.
E. To warn people about the dangers of tsunami.

All human beings eat food and make use of the chemical energy in it, so do all
other animals. Perhaps you wonder where all that chemical energy comes from. Why
doesn’ t the food all get used up?
The answer is that new food is being grown as fast as old food is used to. It is
the green plants that form the new food. Animals either eat the plants or eat other
animals that have eaten plants.
The green substance of plants is chlorophyll. Chlorophyll can absorb sunlight.
When it does so, it changes the energy of the sun into chemical energy. The chemical
energy present in sunlit chlorophyll is used to combine dioxide in the air with water
from the soil. Starch and other complicated compounds are formed. These are high
in chemical energy obtained from the sunlit chlorophyll.
They make up the food on which mankind and all other animals live. In the
process of forming this food, some oxygen atoms are left over. These are given off
into the air by the plants. The whole process is called photosynthesis.
Thus, plants use sunlight to from food and oxygen to from carbon dioxide and
water again. Plants change the sun’ s energy into chemical energy. And animals
change the animal energy into kinetic and heat energy.

47. The text is about ....

A. The process of changing chemical energy.
B. The formation of carbon dioxide.

49. From the text we know that ....

A. plant need to heat energy to live.
B. all human beings need chemical energy.
C. plants absorb sunlight to produce kinetic energy.
D. chlorophyll is the most important thing in photosynthesis.
E. sun’ s energy cannot be formed into kinetic energy.
