Jakarta. Heavy rain in Central Java’s Banjarnegara district has hampered progress in the search for
victims of a landslide that killed 64 people on Friday.
Rain has softened soil at the site of the disaster in Jemblung hamlet, preventing heavy machinery from
reaching the area and posing a danger to rescuers, authorities said.
ArisTriyono, a spokesperson for the National Search and Rescue Agency (Basarnas), said the unstable
ground meant searchers could be buried themselves.
“The heavy rain has softened the soil, which makes it difficult for the search and rescue teams to keep
working on finding victims,” Aris said on Wednesday morning.
Heavy-lifting machinery could not reach the disaster-hit area either, due to slope’s stability, Aris said.

Cristiano Ronaldo was born on February 5, 1985, in Funchal, Madeira, Portugal. Manchester United
paid £12 million to sign him in 2003 - a record fee for a player of his age. In the 2004 FA Cup Final, he
scored Manchester's first three goals and helped them capture the championship. In 2008, he set a

It was through his dad's work as an equipment manager at a boy's club that Ronaldo was first
introduced to the game of soccer. By the time he was 10 years old, he was already recognized as a

his godfather, Fernao Sousa, recalled for British reporters, adding, "He loved the game so much that he'd
miss meals or escape out his bedroom window with a ball when he was supposed to be doing his
homework."
By his early teens, Ronaldo's talent and legend had grown considerably. After a stint with Nacional
da liha da Madeira, he signed with Sporting Portugal in 2001. That same year, at the tender age of 16,
Ronaldo turned heads with a impressing performance against Manchester United, wowing even his
opponents with his footwork and deft skill. He made such an impression that a number of United players
asked their manager to try and sign the young player. It wasn't long before the club paid Ronaldo's team

Integrated Pest Management

There is no best way to deal with pests in agriculture. Pesticides which are commonly used may
cause many problems. I think combining different management operations is the most effective way to
control pests.
Firstly, the chemicals in the pesticides may build up as residues in the environment and in the soil
which absorbs the chemicals. This reduces the quality of farm product.
Secondly, pests can gradually become resistant to pesticides. This means that newer and stronger
ones have to be developed.
Lastly, some pesticides affect non target plants and animals such as fish and bees. This affects the
ecology and environment as well.
So, understanding of ecology of an area helps a lot in pest control. Pesticides should be chosen
and applied carefully so that they don't affect the ecological balance and environment.
Therefore, integrated pest management is a safe and more effective option to fight pest in
agriculture and livestock.

43. Which of the following is not directly affected by pesticides used?

a. Plants
b. Ecology
c. Animals.
d. Environment.
e. Human Beings

44. One of the disadvantages of using chemical pesticides is …

a. killing fish and bees.
b. increasing crops productivity.
c. creating balanced ecosystem.
d. causing the pests to become inactive
e. helping reduce pollutants in the environment.

45. Secondly, pests can gradually become resistant to pesticides. (paragraph 3)

The word resistant in the sentence above means …
a. weak
b. fragile
