about four hundred to six hundred and eighty kilograms, while an adult female is about half that size.
Although it is closely related to the brown bear, it has paws to occupy a narrow ecological niche with
many bony characteristics adapted to for cold temperatures, for moving across the snow, ice, open
water, and for hunting seals which make up most of its diets. Although most of polar bears are born
on land, it spends most of its time at sea, hence its name meaning maritime bear and can hunt

Snakes are reptiles (cold-blooded creatures). They belong to the same group as lizards (the scaled
group, Squamata) but from a sub-group of their own (Serpentes).
Snakes have two legs but a long time ago they had claws to help them slither along. Snakes are not
slimy. They are covered in scales which are just bumps on the skin. Their skin is hard and glossy to
reduce friction as the snake slithers along the ground.
Snakes often sun bathe on rocks in the warm weather. This is because snakes are cold-blooded; they
need the sun’s warmth to heat their bodies up.
Most snakes live in the country. Some types of snakes live in tress, some live in water, but most live
on the ground in deserted rabbit burrows, in thick, long grass and in old logs.
A snake’s diet usually consists of frogs, lizard, and mice and other snakes. The Anaconda can eat
small crocodiles and even bears. Many snakes protect themselves with their fangs. Some snakes are
protected by scaring their enemies away like the Cobra. The flying snakes glide away from danger.
Their ribs spread apart and the skin stretches out. Its technique is just like the sugar gliders.

Artinya
Ular adalah reptil (makhluk berdarah dingin). Mereka termasuk kelompok yang sama dengan kadal
(kelompok berskala, Squamata) tetapi dari sub-kelompok mereka sendiri (Serpentes).
Ular memiliki dua kaki tetapi sejak dulu mereka memiliki cakar untuk membantu mereka merayap.
Ular tidak berlendir. Mereka ditutupi sisik yang hanya gundukan di kulit. Kulit mereka keras dan
berkilau untuk mengurangi gesekan saat ular melata di tanah.
Ular sering berjemur di batu dalam cuaca hangat. Ini karena ular berdarah dingin; mereka
membutuhkan kehangatan matahari untuk menghangatkan tubuh mereka.
Sebagian besar ular hidup di negara ini. Beberapa jenis ular hidup di pohon, sebagian hidup di air,
tetapi sebagian besar hidup di tanah di liang kelinci yang sepi, di rumput tebal, panjang dan di batang
pohon tua.
Diet ular biasanya terdiri dari katak, kadal, dan tikus dan ular lainnya. Anaconda bisa makan buaya
kecil dan bahkan beruang. Banyak ular melindungi diri dengan taring mereka. Beberapa ular
dilindungi dengan menakut-nakuti musuh mereka seperti Cobra. Ular terbang meluncur menjauh dari
bahaya. Tulang rusuk mereka terbuka dan kulit membentang. Tekniknya sama seperti sugar glider.

Napoleon is a favorite fish for divers in many regions of the world. The fish can instantly be
recognized by its size, color and shape. It is one of the largest reef fish in the world. They can grow up
to 230 cm and weigh 190 kg. They have fleshy lips and a hump over the head that is similar to a
napoleon hat. The Hump becomes more prominent with age.
Colors vary with age and sex. Males range from a bright electric blue to green or purplish blue.
Mature males develop a black stripe along the sides, blue spots on their body scales, and blue
scribbles on the head. Juveniles can be identified by their pale greenish color and two black lines
running behind the eye. Females, both old and young, are red-orange on the upper parts of their
bodies and red-orange to white yellow.
Napoleon fish are carnivorous and eat during the day. They can be seen feasting on shellfish, other
fish, sea stars, sea urchins and crabs, crushing the shells to get the animal within. They also crush
large chunks of dead coral rubble with peg-like teeth to feed on the burrowing mussels and worms.
Pairs spawn together as part of a larger mating group that may consist of over 100 individuals. The
planktonic eggs are released into the water, and once the larvae have hatched they will settle out on
the substrate. Adult females are able to change sex but the triggers for this development are not yet
known.
The Napoleon is mainly found on coral reef edges and drop-offs. They move into shallow bays during
the day to feed, and tend to move into deeper waters as they grow older and large. Adults, therefore,
are more common offshore than inshore.

Artinya
Napoleon adalah ikan favorit bagi para penyelam di banyak wilayah di dunia. Ikan dapat langsung
dikenali dari ukuran, warna dan bentuknya. Ini adalah salah satu ikan karang terbesar di dunia.
Mereka bisa tumbuh hingga 230 cm dan berat 190 kg. Mereka memiliki bibir yang berdaging dan
punuk di atas kepala yang mirip dengan topi napoleon. The Hump menjadi lebih menonjol seiring
bertambahnya usia.
Warna bervariasi dengan usia dan jenis kelamin. Jantan berkisar dari biru listrik terang ke hijau atau
biru keunguan. Pria dewasa mengembangkan garis hitam di sepanjang sisi, bintik biru di sisik tubuh
mereka, dan coretan biru di kepala. Remaja dapat diidentifikasi dengan warna kehijauan pucat dan
dua garis hitam di belakang mata. Wanita, baik tua maupun muda, berwarna merah jingga di bagian
atas tubuh mereka dan berwarna merah-jingga ke kuning putih.
Ikan Napoleon adalah karnivora dan makan di siang hari. Mereka dapat dilihat berpesta dengan
kerang, ikan lain, bintang laut, bulu babi dan kepiting, menghancurkan kulit untuk mendapatkan
hewan di dalamnya. Mereka juga menghancurkan potongan-potongan besar puing-puing karang mati
dengan gigi peg-seperti untuk memberi makan pada remis dan cacing menggali.
Pasangan bertelur bersama sebagai bagian dari kelompok kawin yang lebih besar yang dapat terdiri
dari lebih dari 100 individu. Telur plankton dilepaskan ke dalam air, dan setelah larva menetas mereka
akan menetap di substrat. Betina dewasa mampu mengubah jenis kelamin tetapi pemicu untuk
perkembangan ini belum diketahui.
Napoleon terutama ditemukan di tepi terumbu karang dan drop-off. Mereka pindah ke teluk dangkal
selama hari untuk memberi makan, dan cenderung bergerak ke perairan yang lebih dalam saat mereka
tumbuh dewasa dan besar. Orang dewasa, oleh karena itu, lebih umum di lepas pantai daripada di
pantai.

Ant-eaters are perhaps the most curious looking animals.
Their long head and snout look like tubes, and they have no teeth at all. Their front legs are very
strong and armed with heavy curved claws with which they break open the nets of ants and termites
and then, when the insects rush out, use their long, sticky tongues to lick them up at great speed.
True ant-eaters are found in the swamps and forests of central and South America. Scaly ant-eaters, or
pangolins, are found in Africa and tropical Asia.
Various other insect-eating animals are sometimes called ant-eaters, although they really belong to
other groups of animals. One of them is the ant-bear, which lives on the plains of South and Central
Africa. This has long, erect ears but short blunt claws, an almost hairless tail, yellow brown in color.
Unlike the true ant-eaters, it has small teeth.

Artinya
Pemakan semut mungkin adalah hewan yang paling penasaran.
Kepala dan moncong panjang mereka terlihat seperti tabung, dan mereka tidak memiliki gigi sama
sekali. Kaki depan mereka sangat kuat dan dipersenjatai dengan cakar melengkung yang besar yang
dengannya mereka membongkar jaring semut dan rayap dan kemudian, ketika serangga-serangga itu
keluar, menggunakan lidah mereka yang panjang dan lengket untuk menjilati mereka dengan
kecepatan tinggi.
Pemakan semut sejati ditemukan di rawa dan hutan di Amerika tengah dan Selatan. Scaly ant-eater,
atau pangolins, ditemukan di Afrika dan Asia tropis.
Berbagai hewan pemakan serangga lainnya kadang-kadang disebut pemakan semut, meskipun mereka
benar-benar termasuk kelompok hewan lain. Salah satunya adalah beruang semut, yang hidup di
dataran Afrika Selatan dan Tengah. Ini memiliki telinga panjang, tegak tetapi cakar pendek tumpul,
ekor yang hampir tidak berbulu, berwarna kuning kecokelatan. Tidak seperti pemakan semut yang

Every single rock on the surface of the Earth-whether it is gravestone, a piece of solidified lava from a
volcano or a boulder that has broken from a cliff or mountain-is slowly being broken down. This
breaking down of rocks at or near the Earth’s surface is called weathering. The word is used because
the weather is mainly responsible. Weathering turns solid rock into soft materials that may eventually
form soil.
Air and water are the cause of most weathering. Sometimes they change the chemical in the rocks,
and sometimes they just break apart the rock physically. If water seeps into the cracks in the rocks, for
example, it may later freeze if the temperature falls below 0 degrees Celsius. As the water turns to ice,
it expands, pushing against the sides of the rock with a pressure believe to be as much as 2,100
kilograms per square centimetre. This forces the cracks open. Repeated freezing and thawing causes
the fragments to break away from the original rock, these may slide down a cliff or mountain and
form a sloping mass of fragments at the bottom, called scree.

Artinya
Setiap batu karang di permukaan Bumi – apakah itu batu nisan, sepotong lahar yang dipadatkan dari
gunung berapi atau batu yang telah patah dari tebing atau gunung – perlahan-lahan sedang rusak.
Pembongkaran batuan di atau dekat permukaan Bumi ini disebut pelapukan. Kata itu digunakan
karena cuaca terutama bertanggung jawab. Pelapukan mengubah batuan padat menjadi bahan lunak
yang pada akhirnya membentuk tanah.
Udara dan air adalah penyebab sebagian besar pelapukan. Kadang-kadang mereka mengubah bahan
kimia di bebatuan, dan kadang-kadang mereka hanya memecah batu secara fisik. Jika air meresap ke
dalam retakan di bebatuan, misalnya, nanti bisa membeku jika suhu turun di bawah 0 derajat Celcius.
Ketika air berubah menjadi es, es itu mengembang, mendorong sisi-sisi batu dengan tekanan yang
diyakini sebanyak 2.100 kilogram per sentimeter persegi. Ini memaksa retakan terbuka. Pembekuan
dan pencairan berulang-ulang menyebabkan serpihan-serpihan itu terlepas dari batuan asli, ini
mungkin meluncur ke bawah tebing atau gunung dan membentuk massa yang miring di bagian
bawah, yang disebut scree.

Remote sensing is the acquisition of information about an object or phenomenon, without making
physical contact with the object. In modern usage, the term generally refers to the use of aerial sensor
technology to detect and classify objects on Earth (both on the surface, and in the atmosphere and
ocean) by means of propagated signals (e.g. electromagnetic radiation emitted from aircraft or
satellites).
There are two main types or remote sensing: passive remote sensing and active remote sensing.
Passive sensors detect natural radiation that is emitted or reflected by the objects or surrounding area
being observed. Reflected sunlight is the most common source of radiation measured by passive
censors. Examples of passive remote sensors include film photography, infra-red, charge-coupled
devices, and radiometers. Active collection, on the other hand, emits energy in order to scan objects
and areas whereupon a sensor then detects and measures the radiation that is reflected or
backscattered from the target. RADAR and LIDAR are examples of active remote sensing where the
time delay between emission and return is measured, stabilizing the location, height, speed and
direction of an object.

Artinya
Penginderaan jauh adalah perolehan informasi tentang suatu objek atau fenomena, tanpa melakukan
kontak fisik dengan objek. Dalam penggunaan modern, istilah umumnya mengacu pada penggunaan
teknologi sensor udara untuk mendeteksi dan mengklasifikasikan objek di Bumi (baik di permukaan,
dan di atmosfer dan lautan) dengan menggunakan sinyal yang disebarkan (misalnya radiasi
elektromagnetik yang dipancarkan dari pesawat atau satelit) .Ada dua tipe utama atau penginderaan
jauh: penginderaan jauh pasif dan penginderaan jauh aktif. Sensor pasif mendeteksi radiasi alami yang
dipancarkan atau dipantulkan oleh objek atau area sekitarnya yang diamati. Cahaya matahari yang
terrefleksi merupakan sumber radiasi paling umum yang diukur oleh sensor pasif. Contoh sensor jarak
jauh pasif termasuk fotografi film, infra merah, perangkat charge-coupled, dan radiometer. Koleksi
aktif, di sisi lain, memancarkan energi untuk memindai objek dan area di mana sebuah sensor
kemudian mendeteksi dan mengukur radiasi yang dipantulkan atau backscattered dari target. RADAR
dan LIDAR adalah contoh penginderaan jauh aktif di mana waktu tunda antara emisi dan kembali
diukur, menstabilkan lokasi, ketinggian, kecepatan dan arah suatu objek.

29. From the text we know that remote sensing…

a. Is a way to obtain information about an object or phenomenon
b. Does not difficult to do
c. Makes physical contact with the object
d. Does not make use of censors
e. Does not make use propagated signals

Gold is a precious metal. Gold is used as ornaments or as money. Gold is found in many places, but in
a small supply. It is often found on the surface of the earth. Since gold is a heavy substance, it is
sometimes found loose on bottom of rivers. The gold is found together with sand and rocks, and must
be separated from them. It is simple to search for this type of gold. It is not usually necessary to drill
for gold, but when a layer of gold is located deep below the surface of the earth, it is possible to drill a
hole into the ground. Engineers have developed modern process for removing gold from rocks. Since
gold is not very hard, it is sometimes melted and added to other substances for making rings, coins,
and art objects. It will be priced forever because it is beautiful, rare, and useful.

Artinya
Emas adalah logam mulia. Emas digunakan sebagai ornamen atau sebagai uang. Emas ditemukan di
banyak tempat, tetapi dalam pasokan kecil. Ia sering ditemukan di permukaan bumi. Karena emas
adalah substansi yang berat, kadang-kadang ditemukan longgar di dasar sungai. Emas ditemukan
bersama dengan pasir dan batu, dan harus dipisahkan dari mereka. Sangat mudah untuk mencari jenis
emas ini. Biasanya tidak perlu mengebor emas, tetapi ketika lapisan emas terletak jauh di bawah
permukaan bumi, adalah mungkin untuk mengebor lubang ke tanah. Insinyur telah mengembangkan
proses modern untuk menghilangkan emas dari batu. Karena emas tidak terlalu keras, kadang-kadang
meleleh dan ditambahkan ke zat lain untuk membuat cincin, koin, dan benda-benda seni. Itu akan

Blueberries, cranberries, and huckleberries-like dark skinned bunch grapes-contain restorative, a
potential anticancer agent. That’s a new finding from preliminary data from ARS collaborative studies
with Rutgers University-New Jersey and Ag Canada, Kent ville, Nova Scotti. Restorative protects
dark-skinned bunch grapes from fungal diseases and provides health benefits to consumers, including
protection from cardiovascular disease. The compound’s anticancer potential warranted its
examination in other fruits.
Using gas chromatographic and mass spectrometric procedures, the scientists measured the restorative
content of 30 whole fruit samples of blueberry, cranberry, huckleberry, and related plants representing
5 families and 10 species of Vaccination fruit. They found that several samples contained varying
amounts of the compound. Analysis of extracts of the skin, juice/pulp, and seed of muscadine grapes
showed that its concentration in fruit skin was highest. Levels in the juice/pulp were much lower than
in either skin or seeds. Researchers are continuing to analyze more Vaccination and muscadine
samples. Future research goals will include enhancing production of restorative in selected species.

Artinya
Blueberry, cranberry, dan buah-buahan berwarna gelap seperti anggur yang mengandung hewleberries
mengandung zat restoratif, agen antikanker potensial. Itu adalah temuan baru dari data awal dari studi
kolaboratif ARS dengan Rutgers University-New Jersey dan Ag Canada, Kent ville, Nova Scotti.
Pemulihan melindungi buah anggur berkulit gelap dari penyakit jamur dan memberikan manfaat
kesehatan bagi konsumen, termasuk perlindungan dari penyakit kardiovaskular. Potensi antikanker
senyawa ini menjamin pemeriksaannya pada buah-buahan lain.
Menggunakan kromatografi gas dan prosedur spektrometri massa, para ilmuwan mengukur
kandungan restoratif dari 30 sampel buah utuh blueberry, cranberry, huckleberry, dan tanaman terkait
yang mewakili 5 keluarga dan 10 spesies buah Vaksinasi. Mereka menemukan bahwa beberapa
sampel mengandung berbagai jumlah senyawa. Analisis ekstrak kulit, jus / ampas, dan biji anggur
muscadine menunjukkan bahwa konsentrasinya pada kulit buah adalah yang tertinggi. Kadar dalam
jus / pulpa jauh lebih rendah daripada kulit atau biji. Para peneliti terus menganalisis lebih banyak
sampel Vaksinasi dan muscadine. Tujuan penelitian di masa depan akan mencakup peningkatan
produksi restoratif pada spesies tertentu.

Antibiotic is a drug produced by certain microbes. Antibiotics destroy other microbes that damage
human tissues. They are used to treat a wide variety of diseases, including gonorrhea, tonsillitis and
tuberculosis. Antibiotics are sometimes called ‘wonder drugs’ because they can cure diseases such as
meningitis, pneumonia and scarlet fever. But when the antibiotics are overused, or misused, these
drugs make a person sensitive being attacked by a superbug.
Antibiotics do not always distinguish between harmless and dangerous microbes. If a drug destroys
too many harmless micro-organism, the pathogenic ones -the dangerous microbes- will have a greater
chance to multiply. This situation often leads to the development of a new infection called
superinfection. Extensive use of some antibiotics may damage organs and tissues. For example,
streptomycin, which is used to treat tuberculosis, has caused kidney damage and deafness.
Resistance to antibiotics may be acquired by pathogenic microbes. The resistant microbes transfer
genetic material to non-resistant microbes and cause them to become resistant. During antibiotic
treatment, non-resistant microbes are destroyed, but resistant types survive and multiply.
To avoid the side effect of antibiotics, you’d better not urge your doctor to prescribe antibiotics. Keep
in mind that antibiotics are only useful for bacterial infections and have no effect on viruses, so they
cannot be used for children pox, measles, and other viral diseases.

Artinya
Antibiotik adalah obat yang diproduksi oleh mikroba tertentu. Antibiotik menghancurkan mikroba
lain yang merusak jaringan manusia. Mereka digunakan untuk mengobati berbagai macam penyakit,
termasuk gonore, tonsilitis, dan tuberkulosis. Antibiotik kadang-kadang disebut ‘obat ajaib’ karena
mereka dapat menyembuhkan penyakit seperti meningitis, pneumonia dan demam berdarah. Tetapi
ketika antibiotik digunakan secara berlebihan, atau disalahgunakan, obat-obatan ini membuat
seseorang sensitif diserang oleh superbug.
Antibiotik tidak selalu membedakan antara mikroba yang tidak berbahaya dan berbahaya. Jika suatu
obat menghancurkan terlalu banyak mikro-organisme yang tidak berbahaya, yang patogenik –
mikroba berbahaya – akan memiliki kesempatan lebih besar untuk berkembang biak. Situasi ini sering
mengarah pada pengembangan infeksi baru yang disebut superinfeksi. Penggunaan secara luas dari
beberapa antibiotik dapat merusak organ dan jaringan. Misalnya, streptomisin, yang digunakan untuk
mengobati tuberkulosis, telah menyebabkan kerusakan ginjal dan tuli.
Ketahanan terhadap antibiotik dapat diperoleh oleh mikroba patogen. Mikroba yang resisten
mentransfer materi genetik ke mikroba yang tidak resisten dan menyebabkan mereka menjadi resisten.
Selama pengobatan antibiotik, mikroba yang tidak resisten dihancurkan, tetapi jenis yang resisten
bertahan dan berkembang biak.
Untuk menghindari efek samping dari antibiotik, sebaiknya Anda tidak mendesak dokter Anda untuk
meresepkan antibiotik. Perlu diingat bahwa antibiotik hanya berguna untuk infeksi bakteri dan tidak
memiliki efek pada virus, sehingga mereka tidak dapat digunakan untuk anak-anak cacar, campak,
dan penyakit virus lainnya.

Whales are sea-living mammals. They therefore breathe air but cannot survive or land. Some species
are very large indeed and the blue whale, which can exceed 30 meter length, is the largest animal
which lives on earth. Superficially, the whale looks rather like a fish, but there are important
difference in its external structure; its tail consists of a pair of broad, flat horizontal paddles (the tail of
a fish is vertical) and it has a single nostril on top of its breadth, broad head. The skin is smooth and
shiny and beneath it lies a layer of flat (blubber). This is up to 30 meter in thickness and serves to
conserve heat and body fluids.

Giraffe is the highest animal in the world. Its height can reach 4.8 to 5.5 meters and its weight about
1360 pounds. Giraffe has a unique characteristic. They have a very long neck and two small horns on
its head. Giraffes have big brown eyes and protected by thick and long eyebrows. Her body is covered
with a unique pattern that is attached by brown spots all over their body.

          Just like camels, giraffes can survive without drinking for long time because giraffes can rely
on the water contained in leaves they eat. Giraffes are very selective in choosing food. They always
eat young leaves that grow in the tree tops. Their tongue shaped like a knife help them to cut branches
which are very hard.

Female giraffes can start pregnant at the age of five years, with a gestation period of 15 months.
Commonly female giraffe bear one baby, but sometimes two babies at once. Giraffes bear its baby
with a standing position. When the baby is about to be born, they just drop it to the ground from a 1.5
meter of height. Baby giraffe can stand with about 20 minutes since being born, and begin
breastfeeding within an hour of birth.

Gold is a precious metal. Gold is used as ornaments or as money.

         Gold is found in many places, but in a small supply. It is often found on the surface of the earth.
Since gold is a heavy substance, it is sometimes found loose on bottom of rivers. The gold is found
together with sand and rocks, and must be separated from them. It is simple to search for this type of
gold.

         It is not usually necessary to drill for gold, but when a layer of gold is located deep below the
surface of the earth, it is possible to drill a hole into the ground. Engineers have developed modern
process for removing gold from rocks.

         Since gold is not very hard, it is sometimes melted and added to other substances for making
rings, coins, and art objects. It will be priced forever because it is beautiful, rare, and useful.
