Singapore
April 29, 2018
Dear Readers,

Ever since I became Editor-in-Chief of the Asian Reader’s Digest six months ago, I’ve been dying to
share some exciting news with you. After being based in Australia for almost a decade, our editorial
office has moved to Singapore, bringing it back to Asia in these exciting and important times.
Over the coming months you’ll see the difference our move makes in a hundred little ways. We’ll still
deliver the window on the world you’ve come to expect, but being in the heart of Asia will allow us to
make our local content more … well … local. The magazine will continue to be an engaging mix of
inspirational and informative stories, but the local stories will be more chicken rice than spaghetti and
meatballs.
Starting with this month’s poll on the things that irritate us – we traveled all the way to Shanghai to get
a truly pan-Asia view point – we plan to put more Asian voices into the magazine in 2007. My personal
new year’s resolution is to meet as many of you, our readers, as possible this year to hear what type of
magazine you’d like to see each month.
Reader’s Digest is all about the basic things that make us human – our thirst of knowledge, our emotions,
our desire to make a better life for ourselves and our loved ones. I am excited about being able to bring
all these things and more home to you each month; to help you rediscover the joys of life in Asia.

Sincerely yours,
Hans
Editor in Chief

Petroleum products, such as gasoline, kerosene, home heating oil, residual fuel oil and lubricating
oils, come from one source. Crude oil is found below the earth surface, as well as under large bodies of
water, from a few hundred feet below the surface to as deep as 25.000 feet into the earth interior. Crude
oil is obtained by drilling a hole through the earth, but sometimes more dry holes are drilled than those
producing oil. Pressure at the source, or pumping, forces the crude oil to the surface.
Crude oil wells flow at varying rates, from ten to thousands of barrels per hour. Petroleum products
vary Greatly in physical appearance: thin, thick, transparent, or opaque. Their chemical compositions are
made up of only two elements: carbon and hydrogen, which form compounds called hydrocarbons. Other
chemical elements found in the union classified as impurities. Trace elements are also found, but these
are of such minute quantities that they are disregarded.
The various petroleum products are refined from the crude oil by heating and condensing the vapors
of crude oil. These products are called light oils such gasoline, kerosene, and distillate oil.

Human body is made up of countless millions of cells. Food is needed to build up new cells
and replace the worn out cells. However, the food that we take must be changed into substances that
can be carried in the blood to the places where they are needed. This process is called digestion.
The first digestive process takes place in the mouth. The food we eat is broken up into small
pieces by the action of teeth, mixed with saliva, a juice secreted by glands in the mouth. Saliva contain
digestive juices which moisten the food, so it can be swallowed easily.
From the mouth, food passes through the esophagus (the food passage) into stomach. Here,
the food is mixed with juices secreted by the cells in stomach for several hours. Then the food enters
the small intestine. All time the muscular walls of the intestine are squeezing, mixing and moving the
onwards.
In a few hours, the food changes into acids. These are soon absorbed by the villi (microscopic
branch projections from the intestine walls) and passed into the bloodstream.

Have you ever wondered how people get chocolate from? In this article we'll enter the
amazing world of chocolate so you can understand exactly what you're eating.
Chocolate starts with a tree called the cacao tree. This tree grows in equatorial regions,
especially in places such as South America, Africa, and Indonesia. The cacao tree produces a fruit
about the size of a small pine apple. Inside the fruit are the tree's seeds, also known as cocoa beans.
The beans are fermented for about a week, dried in the sun and then shipped to the chocolate
maker. The chocolate maker starts by roasting the beans to bring out the flavour. Different beans
from different places have different qualities and flavor, so they are often sorted and blended to
produce a distinctive mix. Next, the roasted beans are winnowed. Winnowing removes the meat nib
of the cacao bean from its shell. Then, the nibs are blended. The blended nibs are ground to make it
a liquid. The liquid is called chocolate liquor. It tastes bitter. All seeds contain some amount of fat,
and cacao beans are not different. However, cacao beans are half fat, which is why the ground nibs
form liquid. It's pure bitter chocolate.

a. the cacao tree
b. the cacao beans
c. the raw chocolate
d. the making of chocolate

microwave.
Then the central switching station which handles calls in certain given area is directed connected to
the wire-based telephone system. Cellular are pick up by the towers and relayed to another cellular
telephone user or the user of wire-based telephone network.
the towers vary in the capacity and capability to receive signals. Some can receive the signal from
short distance and the others can receive more distance. However, there are usually more than one tower
in certain given area so that the system can handle the increasing telephone traffic.

Volcano Eruption
Do you know what a volcano is? I guess you all know volcano is a mountain with magma inside
it. most volcanoes are formed on land, but there are volcanoes that are formed on land but there are
volcanoes that are on the ocean floor. You know the famous volcanoes in Indonesia, right? Yes, there
are Mount Merapi and Mount Krakatau. Mount Merapi erupted on October 2010 and Mount Krakatau
erupted in 1883. The eruptions were really massive and destructive. Do you want to know how is the
volcano erupting? Well, let me explain to you.
At first, the eruption begins when pressure on a magma chamber inside the volcano forces magma
up through the conduit and out the volcano’s vents. Then, when the magma chamber completely filled,
the pressure is getting higher. Finally, the magma reaches up to the surface. When magma reaches earth’s
surface it is called lava. It may pour out in gentle streams called lava flows or erupt violently into the air.
Rocks ripped loose from the inside of the volcano or torn apart by the gas, may be shot into the air with
the lava. The lava destroys everything I in its path because it very hot. The big rocks can destroy
everything because the sizes are super big. The thick black smoke can burn everything slowly and it’s
suffocating.
There’s no doubt that volcano eruption is rally dangerous. Many people were dead because of it.

Song
Firework
Do you ever feel like a plastic bag
Drifting through the wind, wanting to start again?
Do you ever feel, feel so paper thin
Like a house of cards, one blow from carving in?
Do you ever feel already buried deep?
Six feet under screams, but no one seems to hear a thing
Do you know that there’s still a chance for you
‘cause there’s spark in you
You just gotta ignite the light and let it shine
Just own the night like the 4th July
(Chorus)
‘Cause baby, you’re a firework
Come on, show ‘em what you’re worth
‘Make ‘em go oh, oh, oh
As you shoot across the sky
Baby, you’re a firework
Come on, let your color burst
‘Make ‘em go oh, oh, oh
