AMPERA BRIDGE
Ampera is a name of a bridge that is also
the symbol of Palembang city in Southern
Sumatra. It was built in 1965, after three years
under construction. This bridge was firstly
named ‘Bung Karno’s Bridge’ before the name
was changed the next year because there was a
strong movement of anti-Soekarno.
Ampera bridge lays above
the river of Musi and connects Ulu and Ilir at
both sides of the river. It has two towers which
are 78m high. The gap between those towers is
75 meters.  The bridge itself is 71,90 meters
long and 22 meters wide. This bridge ever had a
special feature, because it was the only bridge
in Indonesia that had an open-and-close
mechanism, to anticipate if there was a big ship
that sailed on the river. It was an amazing
moment for the people to see it go up or down to
let the ships pass the river. But, since 1970, the
bridge’s mechanism was no longer working,
although, in 1981, it was renovated by spending
about Rp 850 million.
Right now, Ampera Bridge is still a
wonderful bridge which is also one of the tourist
destinations in Southern Sumatra. It is very
beautiful to stand near the river at night and
watch the beautiful lamps that beautify the
bridge. Especially, many places around it have
been developed by the government
of Palembang city to facilitate tourism. So, that
is why we can call Ampera Bridge the main
characteristic of Palembang city, besides
its pempek.
3. Which of the following statement is true
about the text?
A. The open-and-close mechanism of
the ampere bridge is still working
until now.
B. The two-tower of the bridge has 75
m high and the gap between the
tower is 78 m.
C. The bridge was renovated in the
year 1970.
D. The bridge has 22 meters long and
71.90 meters wide.
E. The bridge open-and-close
mechanism was used until 1970.

Bandung as Sea of Fire was a fire that
occurred in the city of Bandung on March 24,
1946. Within seven hours, about 200,000
residents of Bandung burned their homes.
As part of the Brigade MacDonald,
British troops arrived in Bandung on October
12, 1945. Bandung was deliberately burned by
TRI and local people. There was black smoke
billowing high into the air everywhere. The
British Army began to attack so fiercely. The
greatest battle happened in the Village named
Dayeuh Kolot, in South Bandung, where a large
ammunition depot belonged to the British. In
this battle, Barisan Rakyat Indonesia destroyed
the ammunition depot.
 The strategy to fire Bandung was considered
because the power of TRI and the people’s
militia was not comparable to the British forces
and NICA. This incident inspired to creation of
the famous song “Halo-Halo Bandung”. To
remember what they did and struggled, they
built the Bandung Lautan Api monument.

that, the Prince of Blambangan, named Raden
Begawan had won the competition.

power to render him unconscious and he forgot
his wedding.  When Sang Prabu was searching,

he had been enchanted by the wicked fairy.  The

Integrated Pest Management
There is no best way to deal with pests
in agriculture. Pesticides which are commonly
used may cause many problems. I think
combining different management operations is
the most effective way to control pests.
Firstly, the chemicals in the pesticides build up
as residues in the environment and in the soil
which absorbs the chemical. This reduces the
quality of farm products.
Secondly, pests can gradually become resistant
to pesticides. This means that newer and
stronger ones have to be developed.
Lastly, some pesticides affect non-target plants
and animals such as fish and bees. This affects
the ecology and environment as well.
So, understanding the ecology of an area helps a
lot in pest control. Pesticides should be chosen
and applied carefully so that they don’t affect
the ecological balance and environment.
Therefore, integrated pest management is a
safe and more effective option to fight pests in
agriculture and livestock.
6. Which of the following is not directly
affected by pesticides used?
A. plants.
B. ecology.
C. animals.
D. environment.
E. Human beings.
7. One of the disadvantages of using
chemical pesticides is….
A. Killing fish and bees.
B. Increasing crops productivity.
C. Creating a balanced ecosystem.
D. Causing the pets to become inactive
E. Helping reduce pollutants in the
environment.
