Rabbits are small mammals in the family Leporidae of the order Lagomorpha, found in several parts of
the world. There are eight different genera in the family classified as rabbits, including the European
rabbit (Oryctolagus cuniculus), cottontail rabbits (genus Sylvilagus; 13 species), and the Amami rabbit
(Pentalagus furnessi, an endangered species on Amami Oshima, Japan). There are many other species of
rabbit, and these, along with pikas and hares, make up the order Lagomorpha. The male is called a buck
and the female is a doe; a young rabbit is a kitten or kit.
Rabbit habitats include meadows, woods, forests, grasslands, deserts and wetlands. Rabbits live in
groups, and the best known species, the European rabbit, lives in underground burrows, or rabbits
holes. A group of burrows is called warren.
More than half the world’s rabbits population resides in North America. They are also native to
southwestern Europe, Southeast Asia, Sumatra, some islands of Japan, and in parts of Africa and South
America. They are not naturally found in most Eurasia, where a number of species of hares are present.
Rabbits first entered South America relatively recently, as part of the Great American Interchange. Much
of the continent has just one species of rabbit, the tapeti, while most of South America’s southern cone
is without rabbits.

Primary pulmonary hypertension (PPH) is a rare disease of unknown cause that results in the progressive
narrowing of the blood vessels of the lungs, causing high blood pressure in these blood vessels and
eventually leading to heart failure. It is more common in women between the ages of 21 and 40;
however, it can affect anyone at any age.
Initial symptoms of PPH may be very minor, and diagnosis may be delayed for several years until
symptoms worsen. Typical symptoms may include shortness of breath following exertion, excessive
fatigue, dizziness, fainting, weakness, ankle swelling, bluish lips and skin, as well as chest pain. It is
difficult to detect PPH in medical examination.
No one knows what causes PPH; however, research into the cause suggests a number of factors that
may be responsible for the disease. Possible causes include genetic or familial predisposition, immune
system disease, or drugs or other chemical exposures.
Primary pulmonary hypertension is treated with a number of drugs. None of the drugs that can cure or
halt the progression of this disease has been found yet, but they may relieve symptoms. Some patients
take vasodilators, which help to dilate the blood vessels in the lungs, reducing the blood pressure in
them. In addition, anticoagulants may be used to decrease the tendency of the blood to clot in the
lungs. Doctors can choose from a variety of drugs that help lower blood pressure in the lungs and
improve heart performance in many patients and medication that may take a long period of time.
Patients with PPH respond differently to the different medications that relax blood vessels and that no
one drug is consistently effective in all patients.
Most doctors and patients agree that it is very important for both patients and families to be as
informed as possible. This lets everyone understand the illness and apply the information to what is
happening. In addition to family and close friends, support groups can help PPH patients and give some
valuable experience sharing among sufferers.

Fort Rotterdam of Makassar
Fort Rotterdam of Makassar is one of the best-preserved examples of Dutch architecture in Indonesia.
The original fort was rebuilt in Dutch style. It includes many fine, well-restored colonial structures. The
visitors can walk around the fort and see sections of the original walls.
Inside the fort there are thirteen buildings. Most of them are still in good condition. At the very center of
the fort there is a church. At the north-westernmost there is La Galigo museum which keeps some
prehistoric megaliths from Watampone as well as ancient weapons, coins, shells, utensils, sketches and
stamps. At the south wall it is housed a museum which displays local skills in silk weaving, agriculture,
boatbuilding and scale models of indigenous boats. On the eastern wall, it is a small library which
featutes old Dutch books of 19th-century missionary. On the ground floor of the building which is
located in the southeast corner of the fort, it was formerly a prison. In the southwestern part contains a
prison where Prince Diponegoro was imprisoned for the rest of his life.
The fort is now used to held various events. There is a conservatory for music and dance, archive of the
city, and a historic and archaeological institute in order to attarct tourists. However, there are things to
do to make it into world class tourism destinastion. It is still not restored quite authentic. The visitors

Diponegoro War (1825 to 1830) was one of the greatest battles ever experienced by the Dutch. The war
led by efforts to control the economy as well as the kingdoms. At that time the Dutch government was
in economic trouble. The Dutch maximized profits by imposing various taxes, a monopoly business and
trade. To further strengthen the power and economy, the Dutch tried to control the kingdoms. Prince
Diponegoro, the eldest son of the royal family of Yogyakarta, was already fed up with the behavior of
the Dutch who did not respect the local customs and exploited the people with taxation.
The immediate cause of Diponegoro’s rebellion was the Dutch’s decision to build a road across a piece
of his property that contained a sacred tomb. At first, the Dutch planned the construction of the road
from Yogyakarta to Magelang. Then the Dutch changed his plans and rerouted it past Tegalrejo.
Apparently in one sector, it was across the graves of the ancestors of Prince Diponegoro. This makes
Prince Diponegoro offended and decided to take up arms against the Dutch. He then ordered his men to
pull out stakes through the tomb.
Diponegoro’s forces made use of their local knowledge to achieve early victories. Villagers were ordered
to cut down trees to block roads as well as burn down the wooden bridges and dig up road surfaces.
Often roads were covered with sharpened bamboo stakes. Javanese military planning was also very
sophisticated. Diponegoro used ferry boats to supply his forces. His contacts in the underworld also
meant that he was helped by bandits communities who controlled the key river crossing points. The
Javanese forces were also able to use modern weapons. They had firearms and used cannons they had
taken from the Dutch. Crucially, they were able to fight the war on their terms. They fought against the
Dutch in a guerrilla war strategy which allowed them to fight the war they way they wanted.
The Dutch appointed a skilled and adaptable commander, De Kock. One of his strategy was benteng
strategy. He could successfully isolated Diponegoro’s forces and deprived him of the local support he
needed to keep fighting. The Dutch were also very clever in offering amnesties and rewards to those of
Diponegoro’s supporters who surrendered to them. This encouraged many to stop fighting for
Diponegoro. Interestingly, the Dutch also offered a large reward for Diponegoro either dead or alive.
However, the personal loyalty felt towards Diponegoro and no-one betrayed him.
By 1830, after months in hiding, and on the run, Diponegoro agreed to peace talks with the Dutch.
However, after some negotiations he was arrested and soon exiled out of Java. The Dutch administration
made sure that he was never allowed to return to Java. He died in exile at Makassar.

A. They got angry with people of Tegalrejo for sabotaging public facilities
B. They started to control people of Tegalrejo which consisted of bandits
C. They tried to impose various taxes, monopoly business and trade there
D. They triggerred a rebellion to get reasons to arrest Prince Diponegoro
E. They found it out the shortest cut to Magelang from Yogyakarta

Dear Leonard:
I (would like to express my sincere condolences on) was shocked with the recent passing of your father.
Pamela and the children also send their thoughts and prayers to you and your family at this difficult
time.
Although I didn’t know your dad that well, on the half dozen or so occasions that I spent time in his
company over the years, I did come to realize his great kindness and compassion towards those less
fortunate than him. And I do know that he was very highly respected throughout this community and
profession, and his good works changed the lives of many.
You were truly fortunate to have such a man as a model in your life.
As you know, it was not that long ago that my own father passed away, so I have some idea of what you
and your family are going through. I realize that no words of comfort are quite enough to replace the
loss.
Please pass my deepest sympathies on to your mother, and brother, and sister, and to all of your
father’s grandchildren.
Yours in sympathy,
Gord Henderson

Teks Explanation 1
Recycling is a collection, processing, and reuse of materials that would otherwise be thrown away.
Materials ranging from precious metals to broken glass, from old newspapers to plastic spoons, can be
recycled. The recycling process reclaims the original material and uses it in new products.
In general, using recycled materials to make new products costs less and requires less energy than using
new materials. Recycling can also reduce pollution, either by reducing the demand for high-pollution
alternatives or by minimizing the amount of pollution produced during the manufacturing process.
Paper products that can be recycled include cardboard containers, wrapping paper, and office paper.
The most commonly recycled paper product is newsprint. In newspaper recycling, old newspapers are
collected and searched for contaminants such as plastic bags and aluminum foil. The paper goes to a
processing plant where it is mixed with hot water and turned into pulp in a machine that works much
like a big kitchen blender. The pulp is screened and filtered to remove smaller contaminants. The pulp
then goes to a large vat where the ink separates from the paper fibers and fl oats to the surface. The ink
is skimmed off, dried and reused as ink or burned as boiler fuel. The cleaned pulp is mixed with new
wood fibers to be made into paper again.
Experts estimate the average office worker generates about 5 kg of wastepaper per month. Every ton of
paper that is recycled saves about 1.4 cu m (about 50 cu ft) of landfill space. One ton of recycled paper
saves 17 pulpwood trees (trees used to produce paper).

Daur ulang adalah pengumpulan, pemrosesan, dan penggunaan ulang bahan yang seharusnya dibuang.
Bahan mulai dari logam mulia hingga pecahan kaca, dari koran bekas hingga sendok plastik, dapat didaur
ulang. Proses daur ulang mengambil kembali bahan asli dan menggunakannya dalam produk baru.
Secara umum, menggunakan bahan daur ulang untuk membuat produk baru lebih murah dan
membutuhkan lebih sedikit energi daripada menggunakan bahan baru. Daur ulang juga dapat
mengurangi polusi, baik dengan mengurangi permintaan untuk alternatif polusi tinggi atau dengan
meminimalkan jumlah polusi yang dihasilkan selama proses manufaktur.
Produk kertas yang dapat didaur ulang termasuk wadah karton, kertas kado, dan kertas kantor. Produk
kertas yang paling sering didaur ulang adalah kertas koran. Dalam daur ulang koran, koran bekas
dikumpulkan dan dicari kontaminan seperti kantong plastik dan aluminium foil. Makalah ini pergi ke
pabrik pengolahan yang dicampur dengan air panas dan berubah menjadi bubur dalam mesin yang
berfungsi seperti blender dapur besar. Pulp diputar dan disaring untuk menghilangkan kontaminan yang
lebih kecil. Pulp kemudian pergi ke tong besar di mana tinta memisahkan dari serat kertas dan oat-oat
ke permukaan. Tinta ini dilepas, dikeringkan dan digunakan kembali sebagai tinta atau dibakar sebagai
bahan bakar boiler. Pulp yang dibersihkan dicampur dengan serat kayu baru untuk dibuat menjadi

Teks Explanation 2
Human body is made up of countless millions of cells. Food is needed to built 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 contains digestive
juice which moisten the food, so it can be swallowed easily.
From the mouth, food passes through the esophagus (the food passage) into the stomach. Here, the
food is mixed with the juices secreted by the cells in the stomach for several hours. Then the food enters
the small intestine. All the time the muscular walls of the intestine are squeezing, mixing and moving the
food 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.
Artinya
Tubuh manusia terdiri dari jutaan sel yang tak terhitung jumlahnya. Makanan dibutuhkan untuk
membangun sel-sel baru dan menggantikan sel yang sudah usang. Namun, makanan yang kita ambil
harus diubah menjadi zat yang dapat dibawa dalam darah ke tempat-tempat di mana mereka
dibutuhkan. Proses ini disebut pencernaan.
Proses pencernaan pertama terjadi di mulut. Makanan yang kita makan dipecah menjadi potongan-
potongan kecil oleh aksi gigi, dicampur dengan air liur, jus yang dikeluarkan oleh kelenjar di mulut. Air
liur mengandung jus pencernaan yang melembabkan makanan, sehingga dapat ditelan dengan mudah.
Dari mulut, makanan melewati esophagus (bagian makanan) ke dalam perut. Di sini, makanan dicampur
dengan jus yang disekresikan oleh sel-sel di lambung selama beberapa jam. Kemudian makanan
memasuki usus kecil. Sepanjang waktu dinding otot usus meremas, mencampur dan menggerakkan
makanan ke depan.
Dalam beberapa jam, makanan berubah menjadi asam. Ini segera diserap oleh vili (proyeksi cabang
mikroskopis dari dinding usus) dan masuk ke ali
ran darah.

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.
Artinya
Pernahkah Anda bertanya-tanya bagaimana orang mendapatkan cokelat? Dalam artikel ini kita akan
memasuki dunia cokelat yang luar biasa sehingga Anda dapat memahami apa yang Anda makan.
Cokelat dimulai dengan sebatang pohon yang disebut pohon kakao. Pohon ini tumbuh di daerah
khatulistiwa, terutama di tempat-tempat seperti Amerika Selatan, Afrika, dan Indonesia. Pohon kakao
menghasilkan buah seukuran buah pinus kecil. Di dalam buah adalah biji pohon, juga dikenal sebagai biji
kakao.
Kacang difermentasi selama sekitar satu minggu, dikeringkan di bawah sinar matahari dan kemudian
dikirim ke pembuat cokelat. Pembuat cokelat dimulai dengan memanggang kacang untuk mengeluarkan
rasa. Biji yang berbeda dari tempat yang berbeda memiliki kualitas dan rasa yang berbeda, sehingga
mereka sering disortir dan dicampur untuk menghasilkan campuran yang khas. Selanjutnya, biji
panggang sudah ditampi. Memenangkan menghilangkan nib daging biji kakao dari cangkangnya.
Kemudian, nibs diblender. Nibs dicampur tanah untuk membuatnya cair. Cairan ini disebut minuman
coklat. Rasanya pahit. Semua biji mengandung sejumlah lemak, dan biji kakao tidak berbeda. Namun, biji
kakao setengah gemuk, itulah mengapa biji tanah membentuk cairan. Ini coklat pahit murni.

What is photosynthesis? Photosynthesis is a food-making process that occurs in green plants. It is the
chief function of leaves. The word photosynthesis means putting together with light. Green plants use
energy from light to combine carbon dioxide and water to make sugar and other chemical compounds.
How is the light used in photosynthesis?
The light used in photosynthesis is absorbed by a green pigment called chlorophyll. Each food-making
cell in a plant leaf contains chlorophyll in small bodies called chloroplasts. In chloroplast, light energy
causes water drawn form the soil to split into hydrogen and oxygen.
What are the steps of photosynthesis process? Let me tell you the process of photosynthesis, in a series
of complicated steps, the hydrogen combines with carbon dioxide from the air, forming a simple sugar.
Oxygen from the water molecules is given off in the process. From sugar together with nitrogen,
sulphur, and phosporus from the soil-green plants can make starch, fat, protein, vitamins, and other
complex compounds essential for life. Photosynthesis provides the chemical energy that is needed to
produced these compounds.
Artinya
Apa itu fotosintesis? Fotosintesis adalah proses pembuatan makanan yang terjadi pada tanaman hijau.
Ini adalah fungsi utama dari daun. Kata fotosintesis berarti menyatu dengan cahaya. Tanaman hijau
menggunakan energi dari cahaya untuk menggabungkan karbon dioksida dan air untuk membuat gula
dan senyawa kimia lainnya.
Bagaimana cahaya yang digunakan dalam fotosintesis?
Cahaya yang digunakan dalam fotosintesis diserap oleh pigmen hijau yang disebut klorofil. Setiap sel
pembuatan makanan di daun tanaman mengandung klorofil dalam tubuh kecil yang disebut kloroplas.
Dalam kloroplas, energi cahaya menyebabkan air yang diambil membentuk tanah untuk terpecah
menjadi hidrogen dan oksigen.
Apa langkah-langkah proses fotosintesis? Biarkan saya memberi tahu Anda proses fotosintesis, dalam
serangkaian langkah rumit, hidrogen bergabung dengan karbon dioksida dari udara, membentuk gula
sederhana. Oksigen dari molekul air dilepaskan dalam proses. Dari gula bersama dengan nitrogen,
sulfur, dan fosforus dari tanaman hijau-tanah dapat membuat pati, lemak, protein, vitamin, dan
senyawa kompleks lainnya penting untuk kehidupan. Fotosintesis menyediakan energi kimia yang
diperlukan untuk menghasilkan senyawa-senyawa ini.

Biodiesel is a clean burning substitute for petroleum based diesel fuel. Biodiesel is made of vegetable oil.
To make or manufacture Biodiesel, you must first start with raw materials. The raw materials needed in
the production of Biodiesel are a small amount of methanol and a ready supply of vegetable product.
One of the most common vegetables used in the production of Biodiesel is corn, although depending on
the geographic location of the manufacturing facility many other plants are used as well (rapeseed,
soybeans, flaxseed, etc.). The first step is to use the raw vegetable product to make vegetable oil.
Vegetable oil by itself will not be what you need to power a car, from here it has to be processed into
Biodiesel.
The process for converting vegetable oil into Biodiesel is sometimes called ester interchange. To
complete this process the vegetable oil has to be combined with a smaller amount of methanol and then
put in the presence of a small quantity of an alkaline catalyst (for example, 5% to 1% sodium hydroxide).
Vegetable oil is made up of so-called triglycerides, which is a compound of the trivalent alcohol glycerin
with three fatty acids. The goal of ester interchange is to separate the glycerin molecule from the three
fatty acids and replace it with three methanol molecules. This process then yields roughly 90% Biodiesel
and 10% of a glycerin byproduct. The glycerin byproduct can be used in a number of other chemical
processes for different industries.
Artinya
Biodiesel adalah pengganti pembakaran bersih untuk bahan bakar diesel berbasis minyak bumi.
Biodiesel terbuat dari minyak nabati.
Untuk membuat atau memproduksi Biodiesel, Anda harus terlebih dahulu mulai dengan bahan baku.
Bahan baku yang dibutuhkan dalam produksi Biodiesel adalah sejumlah kecil metanol dan pasokan
produk sayuran siap pakai. Salah satu sayuran yang paling umum digunakan dalam produksi Biodiesel
adalah jagung, meskipun tergantung pada lokasi geografis fasilitas manufaktur banyak tanaman lain
yang digunakan juga (rapeseed, kedelai, biji rami, dll). Langkah pertama adalah menggunakan produk
nabati mentah untuk membuat minyak nabati. Minyak sayur dengan sendirinya tidak akan menjadi apa
yang Anda butuhkan untuk menyalakan mobil, dari sini ia harus diolah menjadi Biodiesel.
Proses untuk mengubah minyak nabati menjadi Biodiesel kadang-kadang disebut ester interchange.
Untuk menyelesaikan proses ini minyak nabati harus dikombinasikan dengan jumlah metanol yang lebih
sedikit dan kemudian dimasukkan ke dalam sejumlah kecil katalis alkalin (misalnya, 5% sampai 1%
natrium hidroksida). Minyak nabati terdiri dari apa yang disebut trigliserida, yang merupakan senyawa
dari alkohol gliserin trivalen dengan tiga asam lemak. Tujuan pertukaran ester adalah memisahkan
molekul gliserin dari tiga asam lemak dan menggantinya dengan tiga molekul metanol. Proses ini
kemudian menghasilkan sekitar 90% Biodiesel dan 10% dari produk sampingan gliserin. Produk
sampingan gliserin dapat digunakan dalam sejumlah proses kimia lainnya untuk industri yang berbeda.

A natural disaster is a terrible accident, e.g. a great flood, a big fire or an earthquake. It usually causes
great suffering and loss of a large sum of money. The casualties are injured or died. Some people are
homeless and need medical care.
Floods occur when the water of rivers, lakes, or streams overflow their banks and pour onto the
surrounding land. Floods are caused by many different things. Often heavy rainstorms that last for a
brief can cause a flood. But not all heavy storms are followed by flooding. If the surrounding land is flat
and can absorb the water, no flooding will occur. If, however, the land is hard and rocky, heavy rain
cannot be absorbed. Where the banks are low, a river may overflow and flood adjacent lowland.
In many part of the world flood are caused by tropical storms called hurricanes or typhoons. They bring
destructive winds of high speed, torrents of rain, and flooding. When a flood occurs, the destruction to
surrounding land can be severe. Whole villages and towns are sometimes swept away by water pouring
swiftly over the land. Railroad track blocked and uprooted from their beds. Highways are washed away.
When a building caught fire, the firemen pitched in to help battle the blaze. Before the pumps were
invented, people formed bucket brigades to fight fires. Standing side by side, they formed a human
chain from the fire to nearby well or river. They passed buckets of water from to hand to be poured on
the flames.
The damage of the fire did depend a great deal on where it happened. In the country or a small village,
only a single house might burn down. But in crowded cities, fire often destroyed whole blocks and
neighborhoods before being controlled. (Soal UN SMA/MA IPA 2011/2012)
Artinya
Bencana alam adalah kecelakaan yang mengerikan, misalnya banjir besar, kebakaran besar atau gempa
bumi. Biasanya menyebabkan penderitaan besar dan kehilangan sejumlah besar uang. Korban terluka
atau meninggal. Beberapa orang kehilangan tempat tinggal dan membutuhkan perawatan medis.
Banjir terjadi ketika air sungai, danau, atau sungai meluap dan mengalir ke tanah di sekitarnya. Banjir
disebabkan oleh banyak hal yang berbeda. Sering badai hujan deras yang berlangsung singkat bisa
menyebabkan banjir. Namun tidak semua badai berat diikuti oleh banjir. Jika tanah di sekitarnya datar
dan dapat menyerap air, tidak akan terjadi banjir. Namun, jika tanahnya keras dan berbatu, hujan deras
tidak dapat diserap. Di mana bank-bank rendah, sungai mungkin meluap dan membanjiri dataran
rendah yang berdekatan.
Di banyak bagian dunia, banjir disebabkan oleh badai tropis yang disebut angin topan atau topan.
Mereka membawa angin yang merusak dengan kecepatan tinggi, hujan deras, dan banjir. Ketika banjir
terjadi, perusakan terhadap tanah di sekitarnya bisa parah. Seluruh desa dan kota terkadang tersapu
oleh air yang mengalir deras di atas tanah. Jalur kereta api diblokir dan dijebol dari tempat tidur mereka.
Jalan raya tersapu bersih.
Ketika sebuah bangunan terbakar, para petugas pemadam menembak untuk membantu pertempuran
kobaran api. Sebelum pompa ditemukan, orang membentuk brigade ember untuk melawan kebakaran.
Berdiri berdampingan, mereka membentuk rantai manusia dari api ke sumur atau sungai terdekat.
Mereka melewati ember air dari tangan untuk dituangkan ke atas api.
Kerusakan api sangat bergantung pada tempat terjadinya. Di negara atau desa kecil, hanya satu rumah
yang bisa terbakar. Namun di kota-kota yang padat, api sering menghancurkan seluruh blok dan
lingkungan sebelum dikontrol. (Soal UN SMA / MA IPA 2011/2012)

Teks Explanation 7
The sense of taste is one of a person’s five senses. We taste with the help of taste-buds in the tongue.
There are four main kinds of taste: sweet, sour, salty, and bitter. All other tastes are just mixtures of two
or more of these main types.
The surface of the tongue has more than fifteen thousand taste-buds (or cells). These are connected to
the brain by special nerves which send the so-called ‘tastes messages.
When the tongue comes into contact with food of any kind, the taste-buds will pick up the taste. The
nerves then send a message to the brain. This will make us aware of the taste. All this happens in just a
few seconds.
There are four kinds of taste-buds, each of which is sensitive to only a particular taste. These four groups
are located in different parts of the tongue.
The taste-buds for salty and sweet tastes are found round the tip of the tongue and along its sides. Sour
tastes can be picked up only at the sides of the tongue. The taste-buds of the bitter taste are found at
the innermost edge of the tongue. There are taste-buds at the centre of the tongue.
The senses of smell and sight can affect taste. The good smell of food increases its taste. Similarly,
attractive colours can make food appear tastier and more delicious. If food does not smell good or is
dull-coloured, it will look tasty and may not taste good at all.
Very hot or cold sensations can make the taste-buds insensitive. Food that is too hot or too cold, when
placed in the mouth, will have no tastes at all.
Artinya
Indera perasa adalah salah satu dari lima indra seseorang. Kami merasakan dengan bantuan lidah-lidah
di lidah.
Ada empat jenis rasa utama: manis, asam, asin, dan pahit. Semua rasa lainnya hanyalah campuran dari
dua atau lebih dari jenis-jenis utama ini.
Permukaan lidah memiliki lebih dari lima belas ribu pengecap (atau sel). Ini terhubung ke otak oleh saraf
khusus yang mengirim apa yang disebut ‘pesan rasa.
Saat lidah bersentuhan dengan makanan apa pun, tunas rasa akan menangkap rasanya. Saraf kemudian
mengirim pesan ke otak. Ini akan membuat kita sadar akan rasanya. Semua ini terjadi hanya dalam
beberapa detik.
Ada empat jenis indera pengecap, yang masing-masing sensitif hanya pada rasa tertentu. Keempat
kelompok ini terletak di berbagai bagian lidah.
Piring-selera untuk rasa asin dan manis ditemukan di sekitar ujung lidah dan di sepanjang sisinya. Rasa
asam dapat diambil hanya di sisi lidah. Rasa pahit dari rasa pahit ditemukan di ujung lidah terdalam. Ada
lidah-lidah di tengah lidah.
Indera penciuman dan penglihatan bisa memengaruhi selera. Bau makanan yang baik meningkatkan
rasanya. Sama halnya, warna yang menarik bisa membuat makanan tampak lebih lezat dan lebih lezat.
Jika makanan tidak beraroma baik atau berwarna kusam, makanan akan terlihat lezat dan tidak enak
rasanya.
Sensasi yang sangat panas atau dingin dapat membuat pucuk peka tidak sensitif. Makanan yang terlalu
panas atau terlalu dingin, ketika ditempatkan di mulut, tidak akan memiliki selera sama sekali.

A cell phone is a great gadget in this modern world. What is a cell phone? A cell phone is actually a radio
in certain way. Like a radio, by a cell phone we can communicate to other people in real time. Million
people use cell phone for their communication. Even nowadays, people use cell phones to communicate
in voice, written and data. Alexander Graham Bell is the person who make great change in the way
people communicate to each other. He invented a telephone in 1876. While wireless radio was formally
known in 18994 presented by Guglielmo Marconi. By these two technologies, then a cell phone was
born. However do you know how actually cell phones work?
This short explanation on how a cell phone work is really wonderful. A cell phone or in long term
“cellular telephone’ works by transmitting signals of radio to towers of cellular. The towers are
networked to a central switching station. The connection usually uses wire, fiber optic-cables, or
microwave.
Then the central switching station which handles calls in certain given area is directed connected to the
wire-based telephone system. Cellulars 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.
Artinya
Ponsel adalah gadget hebat di dunia modern ini. Apa itu ponsel? Ponsel sebenarnya adalah radio dengan

disajikan oleh Guglielmo Marconi. Dengan dua teknologi ini, kemudian ponsel lahir. Namun tahukah
Anda bagaimana sebenarnya ponsel bekerja?
Penjelasan singkat tentang bagaimana cara kerja ponsel benar-benar indah. Sebuah telepon seluler atau
dalam “telepon seluler” jangka panjang bekerja dengan mengirimkan sinyal radio ke menara-menara
seluler. Menara-menara tersebut dihubungkan ke pusat stasiun switching. Sambungan biasanya
menggunakan kawat, kabel serat optik, atau gelombang mikro.
Kemudian stasiun sentral switching yang menangani panggilan di area tertentu yang diberikan diarahkan
terhubung ke sistem telepon berbasis kawat. Cellulars diambil oleh menara dan diteruskan ke pengguna
telepon seluler lain atau pengguna jaringan telepon berbasis kawat.
menara bervariasi dalam kapasitas dan kemampuan untuk menerima sinyal. Beberapa dapat menerima
sinyal dari jarak dekat dan yang lain dapat menerima jarak yang lebih jauh. Namun, biasanya ada lebih
dari satu menara di area tertentu sehingga sistem dapat menangani peningkatan lalu lintas telepon.

Silkworms live for only two or three days after laying eggs. About 36,000 to 50,000 eggs are laid, and
these are carefully stored at the silkworm farm until they are ready to hatch. The eggs hatch into
caterpillars, which feed on mulberry leaves. Soon, the caterpillars are ready to spin their cocoons. Not all
caterpillars can spin silk cocoons. Only the caterpillars of a silkworm moth known as ‘Bombyx mari’ can
do such spinning. This caterpillar has special glands which secrete liquid silk through its lower lip. The
liquid produced later hardens to form tine strands.
The caterpillar makes its cocoons using these strands. The threads on the outside of the cocoon are
rough, while those inside are soft and smooth.
Some fully-spun cocoons are heated. This kills the pupa inside. The cocoons are then put into hot water
to loosen the fine threads. Finally, these threads are reeled off the cocoons.
The length of unbroken thread produced by a single cocoon measures about one-and-a-half kilometers.
Being twisted together several of these threads make single woven materials.
Artinya
Ulat sutra hidup hanya dua atau tiga hari setelah bertelur. Sekitar 36.000 hingga 50.000 telur diletakkan,
dan ini disimpan dengan hati-hati di peternakan ulat sutera sampai mereka siap menetas. Telur menetas
menjadi ulat, yang memakan daun murbei. Segera, ulat siap memutar kepompong mereka. Tidak semua
ulat dapat memutar kepompong sutera. Hanya ulat ngengat ulat sutera yang dikenal sebagai ‘Bombyx
mari’ yang bisa melakukan pemintalan seperti itu. Ulat ini memiliki kelenjar khusus yang mengeluarkan
sutra cair melalui bibir bawahnya. Cairan yang dihasilkan kemudian mengeras membentuk untaian tine.
Ulat membuat kepompongnya menggunakan untaian ini. Benang di bagian luar kepompong kasar,
sedangkan yang di dalam lembut dan halus.
Beberapa kepompong sepenuhnya dipanaskan. Ini membunuh pupa di dalam. Kepompong kemudian
dimasukkan ke dalam air panas untuk melonggarkan benang halus. Akhirnya, benang-benang ini
digulung dari kepompong.

Teks Explanation 10
A geyser is the result of underground water under the combined conditions of high temperatures and
increased pressure beneath the surface of the earth. Since temperature rises approximately 1 F for
every sixty feet under the earth’s surface, and pressure increases with depth, the water that seeps down
in crack and fissures until it reaches very hot rock in the earth interior becomes heated to temperature
in excess of 290 F. Because of the greater pressure, the water shoots out of the surface in the form of
steam and hot water. The result is a geyser. In order to function, then a geyser must have a source of
heat, reservoir where water can be stored until the temperature rises to an unstable point, an opening
through which the hot water and steam can escape, and underground channels for resupplying water
after an eruption.
Favorable conditions for geyser exist in some regions of the world including New Zealand, Iceland, and
the Yellowstone National Park area of the United States. The most famous geyser in the world is Old
Faithfull in Yellow Park. Old Faithfull erupts almost every hour, rising to a height of 125 to 170 feet and
expelling more than ten thousand gallons during each eruption.
Artinya
Geyser adalah hasil dari air bawah tanah di bawah kondisi gabungan suhu tinggi dan peningkatan
tekanan di bawah permukaan bumi. Karena suhu naik sekitar 1 F untuk setiap enam puluh kaki di bawah
permukaan bumi, dan tekanan meningkat dengan kedalaman, air yang merembes ke dalam retakan dan
celah sampai mencapai batu yang sangat panas di interior bumi menjadi dipanaskan sampai suhu lebih
dari 290 F. Karena tekanan yang lebih besar, air menyembur keluar dari permukaan dalam bentuk uap
dan air panas. Hasilnya adalah geyser. Agar berfungsi, maka geyser harus memiliki sumber panas, waduk
di mana air dapat disimpan sampai suhu naik ke titik yang tidak stabil, suatu pembukaan melalui mana
air panas dan uap dapat melarikan diri, dan saluran bawah tanah untuk memasok air setelah letusan.
Kondisi yang menguntungkan untuk geyser ada di beberapa wilayah dunia termasuk Selandia Baru,

Teks Explanation 11
A kite is an object which is made from a light material stretched over a frame. Due to its light material a
kite will lift off the ground and fly when it is tilted into the wind.
A kite is uses wind to make it fly because it is heavier than air. When wind travels over the surface of the
kite, it is split into two streams of air. One stream of the air goes over the kite while the second stream
goes under the kite.
The upper stream above the kite. The lower stream hits the kite at a shallow angle and creates an area
of high pressure.
The high pressure area has a pushing effect while the low pressure area has a pulling effect. The
combination of push and pull can creates enough force to lift the kite into the air.
Kites have been known for thousand of years. They are used for military or scientific purposes. Todays
kites are much used for leisure and competition.
Artinya
Layang-layang adalah benda yang terbuat dari bahan ringan yang membentang di atas bingkai. Karena
bahannya yang ringan, layang-layang akan terangkat dari tanah dan terbang ketika ia miring ke angin.
Layang-layang menggunakan angin untuk membuatnya terbang karena lebih berat daripada udara.
Ketika angin bergerak di atas permukaan layang-layang, itu terbagi menjadi dua aliran udara. Satu aliran
udara melewati layang-layang sementara aliran kedua mengalir di bawah layang-layang.
Aliran atas di atas layang-layang. Aliran bawah menyentuh layang-layang pada sudut dangkal dan
menciptakan area tekanan tinggi.
Area bertekanan tinggi memiliki efek dorongan sementara area bertekanan rendah memiliki efek
menarik. Kombinasi push dan pull dapat menciptakan kekuatan yang cukup untuk mengangkat layang-
layang ke udara.
Layang-layang telah dikenal selama ribuan tahun. Mereka digunakan untuk tujuan militer atau ilmiah.
Layang-layang saat ini banyak digunakan untuk rekreasi dan kompetisi.
45. What media which use by kite to fly?

Teks Explanation 12
Acid rain is rain that is highly acidic because of sulfur oxides, nitrogen oxides, and other air pollutants
dissolved in it. Normal rain is slightly acidic, with a pH of 6. Acid rain may have a pH value as low as 2.8.
Acid rain can severely damage both plant and animal life. Certain lakes, for example, have lost all fish
and plant life because of acid rain.
Acid rain comes from sulfur in coal and oil. When they burn, they make sulfur dioxide (SO2 ). Most sulfur
leaves factory chimneys as the gaseous sulfur dioxide (SO2 ) and most nitrogen are also emitted as one
of the nitrogen oxides (NO or NO2 ), both of which are gasses. The gasses may be dry deposited–
absorbed directly by the land, by lakes or by the surface vegetation. If they are in the atmosphere for
anytime, the gasses will oxidize (gain an oxygen atom) and go into solution as acids. Sulphuric acid (H2
SO4 ) and the nitrogen oxides will become nitric acid (HNO3 ). The acids usually dissolve in cloud
droplets and may travel great distances before being precipitated as acid rain.
Catalysts such as hydrogen peroxide, ozone, and ammonium help promote the formation of acids in
clouds. More ammonium (NH4 ) can be formed when some of the acids are partially neutralized by
airborne ammonia (NH3 ). Acidification increases with the number of active hydrogen (H+) ions
dissolved in acid. Hydrocarbons emitted by, for example, car exhausts will react in sunlight with nitrogen
oxides to produce ozone. Although it is invaluable in the atmosphere, low-level ozone causes respiratory
problems and also hastens the formation of acid rain. When acid rain falls on the ground it dissolves and
liberates heavy metals and aluminum (Al). When it is washed into lakes, aluminum irritates the outer
surfaces of many fish. As acid rain falls or drains into the lake the pH of the lake falls. Forests suffer the
effect of acid rain through damage to leaves, through the loss of vital nutrients, and through the
increased amounts of toxic metals liberated by acid, which damage roots and soil microorganisms.
Artinya
Hujan asam adalah hujan yang sangat asam karena sulfur oksida, nitrogen oksida, dan polutan udara
lainnya terlarut di dalamnya. Hujan normal sedikit asam, dengan pH 6. Hujan asam mungkin memiliki
nilai pH serendah 2,8.
Hujan asam dapat sangat merusak kehidupan tanaman dan hewan. Danau tertentu, misalnya, telah
kehilangan semua ikan dan tanaman hidup karena hujan asam.
Hujan asam berasal dari belerang dalam batu bara dan minyak. Ketika mereka terbakar, mereka
membuat sulfur dioksida (SO2). Sebagian besar sulfur meninggalkan cerobong pabrik sebagai gas sulfur
dioksida (SO2) dan sebagian besar nitrogen juga dipancarkan sebagai salah satu nitrogen oksida (NO
atau NO2), keduanya adalah gas. Gas-gasnya dapat didepositkan secara kering — diserap langsung oleh
tanah, oleh danau atau oleh vegetasi permukaan. Jika mereka berada di atmosfer kapan saja, gas akan
mengoksidasi (mendapatkan atom oksigen) dan masuk ke dalam larutan sebagai asam. Asam sulfat (H2
SO4) dan nitrogen oksida akan menjadi asam nitrat (HNO3). Asam biasanya larut dalam tetesan awan
dan dapat melakukan perjalanan jauh sebelum diendapkan sebagai hujan asam.
Katalis seperti hidrogen peroksida, ozon, dan amonium membantu mempromosikan pembentukan asam
di awan. Lebih ammonium (NH4) dapat terbentuk ketika beberapa asam sebagian dinetralkan oleh
amonia udara (NH3). Pengasaman meningkat dengan jumlah ion hidrogen aktif (H +) yang terlarut dalam
asam. Hidrokarbon yang dipancarkan oleh, misalnya, knalpot mobil akan bereaksi di bawah sinar
matahari dengan nitrogen oksida untuk menghasilkan ozon. Meskipun sangat berharga di atmosfer,
ozon tingkat rendah menyebabkan masalah pernapasan dan juga mempercepat pembentukan hujan
asam. Ketika hujan asam jatuh ke tanah itu melarutkan dan membebaskan logam berat dan aluminium
(Al). Ketika dicuci ke danau, aluminium mengiritasi permukaan luar banyak ikan. Ketika hujan asam
turun atau mengalir ke danau, pH danau turun. Hutan menderita efek hujan asam melalui kerusakan
daun, melalui hilangnya nutrisi penting, dan melalui peningkatan jumlah logam beracun yang
dibebaskan oleh asam, yang merusak akar dan mikroorganisme tanah.
