Water Transportation

Steam power was more reliable than sail. A steamship does not depend on favourable winds, while sailing ships do. If the wind dies down, a steamship goes ahead at full speed, while a sailing ship lies helpless. Winds blowing the wrong way can slow a steamboat but not stop it. The use of steel and powerful engines made it possible to build large ships. Passenger liners became more luxurious. Freight ships of huge capacities and larger warships were built. New types of ships also appeared. The oil tanker, with special tanks built for carrying oil, was designed in the 1870’s. Before that time oil had to be transported in barrels placed aboard ship. Merchant ships are more important than ever because more nations are trading with one another. Most of the goods are carried by ships. The merchant fleets are doubled. But the use of luxury passenger liners declined. Aeroplanes have largely replaced liners. Many nations have enlarged their shipbuilding industries. The leading shipbuilding nations today are the United States, Japan, Sweden, Germany, Spain, Great Britain, France, Russia, Denmark and Italy.

Latihan 27 A forest is an area that is full of trees. We can find in the islands of Indonesia. They spread along the islands of Sumatra, Java, Kalimantan, Irian and other islands in Indonesia. They are very important for our lives. Forests give us many kinds of export commodities such as timber, rattans, as well as rubber. Forests also protect us from danger of floods. In the rainy season the roots of the trees in the forest absorb the rain water and store it under the ground. In the dry season the water will come out and it is very useful for us for reservoir and irrigation. If there are no forests, the rain water cannot be stored, there will be erosion of the soil and we will suffer from terrible floods. Forests also help us to purify the air of pollution. The trees of the forests need carbon dioxide from the air and send the oxygen out into the air, which make the air fresh and pure. The fresh and pure air is needed for our health. We can also find many kinds of fauna and flora in the forests. Animals and plants need forests to live.

Home industries are usually small-scale industries, so they don’t need many workers. There are many kinds of jobs people can do in cities. Cities are the center of big industries. Most government offices are also centered in cities. Therefore, most people in the village want to move to cities. The villagers move to cities in great numbers to get jobs. Some get what they want, but most of them don’t. They who have skills or good education can become government civil servants or employees of informal sectors, such as, food sellers, porters, and house servants. As the cities are densely populated, the demand for daily needs increases sharply. This condition motivates the growth of trade and new merchants. Life in a city is a competition. It is a hard life. Everyone must work to earn a living.

Wildlife

The earth has many kinds or species of animals. Part of the wildlife kingdom has already been lost, and a great many species are threatened. The cheetah is nearly extinct in Asia and so are whooping cranes in North America. There are about 600 animal species that are in danger of becoming extinct, or dying off. Once an animal species is gone, it cannot be recreated. Elephants hunted for their ivory tusks are protected in Kenya, where big-game hunting is forbidden by law. Rhinoceroses, crocodiles, monkeys, sharks and whales are also protected. And so are parrots, eagles and birds of beautiful feathers. Uncontrolled killing, for profit or sport, was once the chief cause of extinction. Today laws regulate hunting and fishing in many countries. As populations grow, more forests are cleaned, and wildlife habitats are lost. New dams may threaten the existence of certain kinds of fish. The construction of highways may cause animals to lose their sources of food. Conserving other natural resources helps to protect wildlife. If we use less paper, fewer trees will be cut down. If we use less electricity, fewer dams will be built. We can also help conserve wildlife by obeying hunting and fishing laws, planting bushes and shrubs to provide food and shelter for wildlife.

CAMPING

Last weekend the girl scouts and the boy scouts had a ‘Persami’ activity outside their school. They left for the woods at five in the morning. After a long drive they arrived at the woods and found a good camping site. “Let’s set up our tents here,” said the leader. Then they started to work. They needed a pole, some rope and nails for each tent. In a short time the tents are ready and they put a small flag on top of each tent. The girls made a fire and cooked their lunch while the boys were busy working. As soon as the lunch was ready, they immediately started to eat. Of course it was a very simple dish but a very good lunch for them.

Latihan 37 DISCOVERING THE KOMODO LIZARD Two fishermen tied their boat up, hurried out of the boat and ran down the streets of their hometown. ‘We saw a dragon on Komodo Island,’ they shouted. ‘We saw a dragon !’ A man heard their shouts. He was an American named Douglas Burden. Burden was a naturalist. A naturalist is a person who tries to learn as mush as he can about things that live. He believed what the two men said but there was only one way to find out. He had to go to Komodo Island himself and brought back one of the dragons for people to see. So Douglas Burden and some friends sailed halfway around the world to the tiny island off the coast of Indonesia. When they reached the island they were afraid that the traps and cages they had with tem would not be strong enough to hold the dragons. There were dragons on the island. They weren’t the same dragons people see in picture books and in children’s stories, but they looked more like dragons than any other animal Burden had ever seen. They were really large lizards-some of them three metres long and as heavy as two men. Their legs were short and thick and on their feet were sharp claws like knives although they did not breathe fire like the dragons in story books, the lizards had yellow forked tongues that moved quickly in and out of their mouths. It was difficult and dangerous to catch the lizard. Sometimes the lizards attacked the men. Sometimes the men had to kill the lizards to save themselves. Finally, Burden and his friends caught two live Komodos and put them in cages on their ship. Then they sailed back to America. When the two dragons were put into the Brooklyn Zoo in New York City, people came from all over America to see them. Burden was pleased that so many people had a chance to see two live dragons. That was more than 45 years ago. Today there are no more live dragons anywhere in the world except on the tiny island of Komodo. They still live there.

Latihan 40 All living things on the earth belong to the plant or the animal family. The plant family get their food and water from the soil. They also need sunlight to grow. Some of them live in water and get their food from the water. There are many thousands of plants. We can divide plants into two groups. There are the plants without stems, roots or leaves. These are the algae and the mosses. Both kinds of plants need a lot of water. So, algae is usually found in water and moss is found in wet places. The other group is the plants with stems. They consist of all the fruit trees, flower plants, vegetables and all the timber trees. These plants have roots, stems and leaves. The plants with stems can be divided into the flowering plants and the non-flowering plants. The flowering plants have a fruit with a seed inside the flower. Some seed are flat like wings and

35

are carried by the wind. Some seeds have fleshy fruits which animals eat and pass out. Some seeds are collected and distributed by man. In this way plants grow once again from seeds. The non-flowering plants have spores growing on the leaves. When they are dry are carried by the wind. Those spores that fall on wet soil start to grow again. These are some of the ways that plants live and multiply.

Latihan 17 4, Blight street PO.BOX 555 Sydney 2000 June 5, 1996 Dear Wirtomo,

Thank you for your second letter. It is interesting to read about the farming tools used by farmers in your village. Unlike the farmers in your village, most farmers in my country use machines to help them work. The machines are very useful since most farms are very big. They use tractors to plow the land. Another machine is a seed drill; it makes holes in the ground, then it drops seeds into them. It may even drop a small amount of fertilizer with each seed. Farmers with very large farms sometimes use planes to plant seed. They also use planes to spray chemical onto the rice fields. When harvest time comes they also use a machine called a ‘combine’ to cut the rice. It also separates the rice kernels from the stalks. You know that a ‘combine’ can harvest more grain than 200 people working by hand.

Earthquakes can cause landslides. The shaking loosens rock and soil on the sides of mountains and hills. The soil and rock slides down. It can bury towns and neighborhoods. Earthquakes can cause huge waves called tsunamis. Rock slipping along a fault under the ocean causes a tsunami. The sudden movement of the rock sends a shockwave through the water above it. It makes powerful waves of water on the ocean’s surface. The waves spread out across the ocean. When the waves reach shallow water near land they get bigger and taller. Tsunami waves can be 50 feet (15 meters) high! When a huge tsunami hits shore it causes terrible floods. The floods wash away cars and damage buildings. Many people can die when a tsunami hits land.

TIGERS

50

Tigers are members of the cat family. Lions, leopards, cheetahs, and house cats are also members of the cat family. Tigers are the largest cats, and the only cats with stripes. They live in large forests in southern and southeastern Asia. A tiger’s short fur is usually colored dark orange with black stripes. Each tiger has different stripes, and you can use them to tell tigers apart. The stripes make a tiger stand out if you see them in the open. In the forests where tigers live, however, the stripes make them almost invisible.

Like house cats, tigers have soft pads on the bottoms of their paws. These pads allow tigers to move silently through the forest. Tigers have long, sharp claws at the ends of their feet. They pull the claws in until they need them. When needed, the claws pop out like knives.

Their big, yellow eyes give tigers sharp sight to help find prey. Tigers see as well as people during the day, and much better than people at night. They also hear very well. They can turn their ears toward sounds.

Tigers have explosive speed. They have strong muscles and long legs that help them move extremely fast over short distances. Their long tails give them balance while running fast. Powerful jaws and sharp teeth help tigers grab and kill prey once they catch it.

Some tigers in zoos and circuses are white with blue eyes. People bred these tigers because white tigers fetch more money from tourists. In the wild, white tigers are very rare. Zoos no longer breed tigers to be white.

11. What are the differences of a tiger and a cat? a. b. c. d.

Muhammad Ali Muhammad Ali was born in 1942 in Louisville, Kentucky. His parents named him Cassius Marcellus Clay, Jr. They named their son after a Kentucky statesman who had fought against slavery in the 1800s.

Young Cassius Clay quickly made his mark in the boxing ring. He turned professional after winning a gold medal in the Olympic games in 1960. Four years later, he knocked out Sonny Liston to earn his first world heavyweight champion title.

After winning the title, Clay converted to Islam. This religion follows the teachings of the prophet Muhammad. When Clay converted, he took a new name, Muhammad Ali.

In 1974, Ali won the world heavyweight title again by beating George Foreman. Then he defended a challenge by former heavyweight champion Joe Frazier in a fight Ali called “The Thrilla in Manila.” This was a 15-round fight in the capital city of the Philippines. Ali won that fight.

Ali defended his heavyweight title six more times before he lost to Leon Spinks in February 1978. But Ali came back to beat Spinks and regain the title seven months later.

Ali retired in 1981 with a record of 56 wins and 5 losses. He won fame for his graceful footwork, powerful jabs, and confident boasts about his boxing skill. He proclaimed that he was “The Greatest,” and many sports fans agreed.

Harry Potter is an unhappy 11-year-old. He lives with his Aunt Petunia and Uncle Vernon Dursley and their awful son Dudley.

Harry doesn’t know it, but he’s a wizard! His mother was a witch and his father was a wizard. Both died fighting the evil wizard Voldemort when Harry was just a baby. Harry was hidden with the unmagical Dursleys to protect him from Voldemort.

Harry’s adventures begin when he is accepted to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. There, he meets adults like Headmaster Albus Dumbledore and Groundskeeper Rubeus Hagrid. He also befriends schoolmates like Hermione Granger and Ron Weasley, and meets rivals like Draco Malfoy. He learns magic and how to play Quidditch, a game a little like soccer that is played on flying broomsticks.

Choose the best answer !

The giraffe has big brown eyes. They are protected by very thick lashes. This giraffe has brown spots on the skin. This coloring helps protect the giraffe. It also has two short horns on its head. Like a camel, it can live for a long time without drinking water. One source of water is leaves which it eats from trees. It is tall, so the giraffe can reach the tender leaves at the top of a tree.
