Government Reduces Freeport’s Output

Jakarta: Freeport-Mc-Moran Copper & Gold Inc., the world’s second largest copper
producer, had its maximum ore production permit in Indonesia cut 26 percent on environment
concerns.
“The government only approves a Freeport ore output this year of 220,000 tons a day
to reduce the impact on environment, ”Witoro S. Soelarno, head of mine inspection at the
Energy and Mineral Resources Ministry, said. “The previous limit was 300,000 tons a day,”
he said.
Phoenix-based Freeport produced on average 229,000 tons of copper and gold ore a
day from its Grasberg mine in 2006.
Freeport’s copper ore output in the fourth quarter of 2007 fell to 926 million of
recoverable pounds from 1,044 million of recoverable pounds a year earlier, the company
said on its Web site. Gold output in the quarter dropped to 186,000 of recoverable ounces
from 544,000 of recoverable ounces, it said.-Bloomberg.

Faraday studied the magnetic field around a conductor carrying a DC electric current. While
conducting these studies, Faraday established the basis for the electromagnetic field concept
in physics, subsequently enlarged upon by James Maxwell. He similarly discovered
electromagnetic induction, diamagnetism, and laws of electrolysis. He established that
magnetism could affect rays of light and that there was an underlying relationship between
the two phenomena. His inventions of electromagnetic rotary devices formed the foundation
of electric motor technology, and it was largely due to his efforts that electricity became
viable for use in technology.
As a chemist, Michael Faraday discovered benzene, investigated the clathrate hydrate
of chlorine, invented an early form of the Bunsen burner and the system of oxidation
numbers, and popularized terminology such as anode, cathode, electrode, and ion.
Although Faraday received little formal education and knew little of higher
mathematics, such as calculus, he was one of the most influential scientists in history.
Historians of science refer to him as the best experimentalist in the history of science. The SI
unit of capacitance, the farad, is named after him, as is the Faraday constant, the charge on a
mole of electrons (about 96,485 coulombs). Faraday's law of induction states that magnetic
flux changing in time creates a proportional electromotive force.
Faraday was the first and foremost Fullerian Professor of Chemistry at the Royal
Institution of Great Britain, a position to which he was appointed for life.
Albert Einstein kept a photograph of Faraday on his study wall alongside pictures of
Isaac Newton and James Clerk Maxwell.
Faraday was highly religious. He was a member of the Sandemanian Church, a
Christian sect founded in 1730 that demanded total faith and commitment. Biographers have
noted that a strong sense of the unity of God and nature pervaded Faraday's life and work.

8. What was Michael Faraday expert?

A. science, history and religion
B. chemistry, electricity and calculus
C. electronic, technology and religion

A. Michael Faraday’s invention in the science
B. Michael Faraday was one of successful scientists.
C. Michael Faraday poured his science in technology.
D. Michael Faraday concentrated his life in technology
E. Michael Faraday’s invention in the electromagnetic induction

10. Which of the following statement is correct? Which of the sentences is closely related to
the text?
A. Faraday received formal education  walau hanya sebentar sekolahnya
B. James discovered a DC electric current
C. Faraday and James found the different electromagnetic
D. Historians of science refer to him as the worst experimentalist
E. Faraday was the second and foremost Fullerian Professor of Chemistry

The Yanomami people live in the Amazon rain forest along the border between
Venezuela and Brazil. The Yanomami number around 35,000 people. They live in villages
under a common roof called a Shabono.
The men are mainly fishers, hunters, and gatherers while women cultivate crops such
as cassava, plantains, cotton, and tobacco. They practice slash-and-burn technique and
shifting cultivation when the land becomes overused. The Yanomami men are known for
their aggression and tribes often wage war against each other. Yanomami men have been
known to kill the children of other tribes during raids. They also practice ritual wherein they
eat the bones of their kinsmen, who have passed away.
The Yanomami people consume very little salt in their diet and have among the
lowest blood pressure of any people around the world. This has led to their becoming the
subject of scientific research on hypertension’s correlation with salt consumption.

The Greatest Bridge in the World

The Verrazano-Narrows Bridge, which was designed by Othmar Amman, joins Brooklyn to
Staten Island. Verrazano, an Italian about whom little is known, sailed into New York Harbor in 1524
and named it Angouleme. He described it as “a very agreeable situation located within two small hills
in the midst of which flowed a great river”. Though Verrazano is by no means considered to be a
great explorer, his name will probably remain immortal, for on November 21 st, 1964, the greatest
bridge in the world was named after him.
It has a span of 4260 feet. The bridge is so long that the shape of the earth had to be taken
into account by its designer. Two great towers support four huge cables. The towers are built on
immense underwater platforms made of steel and concrete. The platforms extend to a depth of over
100 feet under the sea. These alone took sixteen months to build. Above the surface of the water, the
towers rise to a height of nearly 700 feet. They support the cables from which the bridge has been
suspended. Each of the four cables contains 26,108 lengths of wire. It has been estimated that if the
bridge were packed with cars, it would still only be carrying a third of its total capacity. However, size
and strength are not the only important things about this bridge. Despite its immensity, it is both
simple and elegant, fulfilling its designer’s dream to create “an enormous object drawn as faintly as
possible”.
