Michael Jordan
Michael Jordan (born February 17, 1963) is a professional American basketball player, Olympic
athlete, businessperson and actor. Considered one of the best basketball players ever, Michael
Jordan dominated the sport from the mid-1980s to the late 1990s. He led the Chicago Bulls to six
National Basketball Association championships and earned the NBA's Most Valuable Player Award
five times. With five regular-season MVPs and three All-Star MVPs, Jordan became the most
decorated player in the NBA.
Jordan is also known for his product endorsements. He fuelled the success of Nike's Air
Jordan sneakers, which were introduced in 1985 and remain popular today. Jordan also starred in the
1996 film Space Jam as himself. In 2006, he became part-owner and head of basketball operations
for the then-Charlotte Bobcats, buying a controlling interest in 2010. In 2015, Jordan became the

tried to help him deal with playing in the shadow of an NBA legend. "He wants to be a basketball
player, but he wants to do it on his own terms .The thing that we have tried to tell Jeff is that you set
your own expectations. By no means in this world can you ever live up to someone else's
expectations of who you are," Michael Jordan said during an appearance on the Today show.
On April 27, 2013, Jordan married 35-year-old Cuban-American model Yvette Prieto in Palm

Do you want to be able to change a tire without having to ask for help? Fortunately, changing a tire is a pretty
simple task, provided you're prepared and willing to exert a little effort.
1. Find a flat, stable and safe place to change your tire. You should have a solid, level surface that will
restrict the car from rolling. If you are near a road, park as far from traffic as possible and turn on your
emergency flashers (hazard lights). Avoid soft ground and hills.
2. Apply the parking brake and put car into "Park" position. If you have a standard transmission, put
your vehicle in first or reverse.
3. Place a heavy object (e.g., rock, concrete, spare wheel, etc.) in front of the front and back tires.
4. Take out the spare tire and the jack. Place the jack under the frame near the tire that you are going to
change. Ensure that the jack is in contact with the metal portion of your car's frame
5. Raise the jack until it is supporting (but not lifting) the car. The jack should be firmly in place against
the underside of the vehicle. Check to make sure that the jack is perpendicular to the ground.
6. Remove the hubcap and loosen the nuts by turning counterclockwise. Don't take them all the way off;
just break the resistance. By keeping the wheel on the ground when you first loosen the nuts, you'll make
sure that you're turning the nuts instead of the wheel.
7. Pump or crank the jack to lift the tire off the ground. You need to lift it high enough to remove the flat
tire and replace it with a spare.
8. Remove the nuts the rest of the way. Turn them counterclockwise until they are loose. Repeat with all
lug nuts, then remove the nuts completely.
9. Remove the tire. Place the flat tire under the vehicle so in the event of a jack failure the vehicle will fall
on the old wheel, hopefully preventing injury. If the jack is placed on a flat, solid base, you shouldn't have
any problems.
10. Place the spare tire on the hub. Take care to align the rim of the spare tire with the wheel bolts, then put
on the lug nuts.
11. Tighten the nuts by hand until they are all snug
12. Lower the car without applying full weight on the tire. Tighten the nuts as much as possible.
13. Lower the car to the ground fully and remove the jack. Finish tightening the nuts and replace the
hubcap.

The Great Wall, one of the greatest wonders of the world, was listed as a World Heritage by UNESCO in
1987. Just like a gigantic dragon, it winds up and down across deserts, grasslands, mountains and plateaus,
stretching approximately 21,196 kilometers from east to west of China.
With a history of about 2,700 years, some of the Great Wall sections are now in ruins or have
disappeared. However, the Great Wall of China is still one of the most appealing attractions all around the

6 to 7 meters (20 to 23 feet), and the highest is 14 meters (46 feet). The average width is 6.5 meters (21.3
feet).
Having a wonderful Great Wall tour is a must for one’s China trip. Along this super long wall, Beijing

priced at Rp 30,000, containing Rp 20,000 credit balance. The second one displays animation, and is

SEA STARS
Sea stars, commonly called, “starfish” are not fish. Sea stars live underwater, but that is where their
resemblance to fish ends. They do not have gills, scales, or fins. Sea stars live only in saltwater. Sea water,
instead of blood, is actually used to pump nutrients through their bodies via a 'water vascular system.'
Also, sea stars move by using tiny tube feet located on the underside of their bodies. With so many
little legs, starfish can reach enormous speeds. Adult sunflower sea stars can move at the astonishing speed
of one meter per minute using 15,000 tube feet. Tube feet also help sea stars hold their prey.
Sea stars are related to sand dollars, sea urchins, and sea cucumbers, all of which are echinoderms,
meaning that they have five-point radial symmetry. However, this does not mean that all sea stars have five
arms and species with 10, 20, or even 40 arms exist! If one of these arms is lost, a sea star has the
amazingly ability to regenerate it.

I've been travelling round the USA solo for about 4 weeks now. I'm 21 years, this is the first time
I've been away from home and had to be independent which seems pretty nerve wracking but I ended up
adapting so quickly to it as I had no other choice. I've always been a loner, introvert type, so I'm
completely fine with my own company. A lot of people were surprised when I said I was travelling alone,
as I’ve always been such a shy and petite girl so it's great just to show them what I can do, and it’s
absolutely trebled my confidence!
I stayed in hostels, where I learnt it was so easy to meet new people. At the start of my trip I was
really eager to meet new people, but now I'm at the end of my trip, I couldn't care less? It's like I've got so
used to being on my own. Please tell me I'm not the only one that feels this way because I feel so
antisocial?
Travelling solo as a female definitely has its pros and cons. But if I had the choice I still would
travel solo as it has helped improve my confidence so much. The downsides are carrying your heavy
luggage, and night time. Night time sucks if you're on your own because it’s too dangerous to be outside,
so you're just sat alone in the hostel by 7pm!
The past 2 weeks I have started to feel the loneliness. It's not fun not having anyone to share the
awesome things you're seeing or anyone to talk about what you're going through. So in that sense I am
ready to come home. I've had the trip of a lifetime, and I've loved travelling solo at such a young age
because it gives me so much independence and confidence, and proves I can do things! Although I've liked
travelling solo, I don't think I'll do it again anytime soon. I definitely think I'll have a travel buddy on my
next trip as I've really missed having someone to talk to.
45. What problem does the writer feel in her solo travel?
A. She is timid and has a small body.
B. She has nobody accompanying her.
C. She has no experience in travelling.
D. She is a selfish and antisocial person.
E. She has to leave her friends and family.

46. The writer stayed in hostels, but if she had not, she ….
A. might not have felt unsociable
B. might have met a lot of barrier

D. might have paid a lot of money
E. might have been more confident

Cloning of Animals
In the modern era, technology has developed to such a certain degree that scientists are
able to create new forms of life. One of them is cloning. The debate whether cloning of animals
should be allowed or not seems endless.
Those who agree with cloning of animals usually argue that the cells produced from them
can be used to stop animals from becoming extinct. Many species are becoming rarer and rarer.
Scientists are concerned if they don’t do something to save certain species, these animals will be
extinct forever. For this reason, researchers have improved cloning technology so that many rare
species can be successfully cloned. They also add that cloning has a purpose to produce high
quality of cells.
However, not everyone is excited about cloning animals. Some people feel that it could
have terrible consequences. For example, if dinosaurs are cloned, then men could be extinct. It is
clear that these ferocious beasts cannot live together with humans. In history, these creatures lived
several thousand years before men appeared. Can you imagine these giant killing creatures living
within the same era and on the same planet with us?
As a result of this controversy, people still haven’t got the answer yet for cloning animals.
Moreover, some members of the scientific community think that the banning of cloning
technology will destroy the creativity of science.
48. The text mainly tells us about….
A. kinds of animals which are cloned
B. species which are threatened to be extinct
C. two different opinions about cloning animals
D. the researchers who have developed cloning animals
E. the community who does not agree of cloning animals

49. How do we compare paragraph 2 and paragraph 3?

A. Both Paragraphs 2 and 3 are about arguments against cloning animals.
B. Like paragraphs 2, paragraph 3 talks about the problems of cloning animals.
C. Unlike paragraph 2, paragraph 3 talks about those who go for cloning animals.
D. Paragraph 2 is about the benefit of cloning; while paragraph 3 is arguments for points.
