Tips to Stay Happy, Healthy as an Online Student


1. Make sure you have a comfortable workspace: An ergonomically correct
chair can adjust to fit your body perfectly.
2. Limit screen time before bedtime. Never work in bed, and avoid intensive
computer work directly before going to bed.
3. Avoid isolation: It is easy for online students to become socially isolated. To
stay happy, it is important to have authentic and meaningful friendships and
relationships with others beyond virtual relationships in online classes and
on social media.
4. Drink water: A recent Harvard study published in the American Journal of
Public Health states that more than half of children and adolescents in the
U.S. are dehydrated, and that "even mild dehydration can cause issues,
including headaches, irritability, and poorer physical performance and
reduced cognitive functioning."
5. Create a positive work environment: Decorate the work space with things
that induce happiness. Plants, photos of loved ones, artwork and other
relaxing decorative elements can make online class work more enjoyable.
6. Get plenty of fresh air, exercise and good nutrition: The Centers for Disease
Control have definitive studies linking academic achievement with proper
nutrition, sleep and exercise.

Born in West Sumatra in 1886, Abdul Muis left
his native region to study medicines at STOVIA in
Batavia (present-day Jakarta). However, due to ill
health Muis had to quit his study after three years
without obtaining his diploma.
After spending several years as a civil servant
at the Department of Education and Religion, Muis
moved to Bandung (West Java) to start working as a
journalist at the Preanger Bode, a daily newspaper.
Reportedly, he read several articles in this newspaper,
written by Dutch colonizers, which contained insulting
language toward the native Indonesian people. Due to the injustice felt while
reading these articles, Muis decided to take revenge by also using his pen to
criticize the Dutch colonizers.
Muis had to leave the Preanger Bode and became head editor at the
Kaum Muda, a daily newspaper run by the first nationalist group that used the
newspaper to spread anti-colonial views.
In 1922, Muis was arrested for leading a strike in Yogyakarta. After his
arrest he went back to West Sumatra and advised local native leaders to stop
collecting taxes from the local Minangkabau people. This undermining of Dutch
authorities led to his exile in the city of Garut (West Java) for three years. During
his period in Garut, Muis wrote his first - and most famous - novel “Salah
Asuhan”.
Abdul Muis died in Bandung in 1959. In the same year he was
recognized as a national hero by President Sukarno.

21. Why does the writer write the text?


A. To describe the childhood of Abdul Muis.
B. To retell the story of Dutch colonialism in Indonesia.
C. To teach lesson about how to take revenge by writing critics.
D. To tell about the life of an Indonesian national hero, Abdul Muis.

insulted her mother “How can people say that I am your daughter. You are so
ugly. Your clothes are so bad”. The mother kept being patient and chose to walk
behind the daughter.
Arriving in the market, again, a stall owner said “your daughter is so
beautiful”. Again Darmi got angry and stated “she was not my mother. She was
my servant”. Listening to that, the mother was very hurt.
Then, they went home. Darmi left her mother behind. The mother ran after
her, “Darmi wait, I am your mother. Why do you hate me? "Darmi didn’t care.
She kept walking. Unfortunately, she stepped on a small hill. Suddenly, she
could not move her feet. Slowly, the earth swallowed her body. Darmi cried to
call her mother, “mom… help me. Please forgive me”. However, the mother was
still left behind. I am coming my daughter but God knows everything, said the
mother while seeing a crying big stone appeared.

Coronaviruses are a group of related RNA


viruses that cause diseases in mammals and birds. In
humans and birds, they cause respiratory tract
infections that can range from mild to lethal. Mild
illnesses in humans include some cases of
the common cold (which is also caused by
other viruses, mostly rhinoviruses). Meanwhile, more
lethal varieties can cause SARS, MERS, and COVID-
19. In cows and pigs they cause diarrhea, while in
mice they cause hepatitis and encephalomyelitis.
Coronaviruses can be transmitted by the infected carriers. The carriers
can produce viruses into the environment. The interaction of the coronavirus
spike protein is central in determining the tissue tropism (cells of a host),
infectivity, and species range of the released virus. Coronaviruses mainly
target epithelial cells. They are transmitted from one host to another host,
depending on the coronavirus species.
