The residents of the small town of Blora, 105
kilometers from Semarang, were surprised earlier
this year when the whole body of the fossilized
elephant skeleton was found nearby.
The construction of the skeleton was
completed last month and it had been taken to the
geology museum in Bandung, said Suroso, the
Ministry of Culture and Tourism director of
archeological heritage.
It was estimated that the elephant died some
200,000 years ago and was from an ancient
species much larger than the modern-day Sumatran
elephants, categorized as the smaller Asian
elephants.
The elephant fossil was first found by villagers
after part of a sand quarry. collapsed near Sanggon
village, some three kilometers from the Bengawan

weeks to evacuate the huge but fragile prehistoric
fossil, which was three meters tall with tusks about
two meter long.

How to make Stickers I
What you'll need : little squirt bottles of fabric paint
and mirror or glass to work on.
Follow the four easy steps below:
1. Take the paint and make a design or drawing
on the glass, like name, flower, heart, or star.
2. Let the paint dry for 24 hours or until it isn't too
soft to touch or press down. The more paint you
use, the longer it will take to dry.

will come cleanly off the glass. Make sure to do
it slowly so it will not break the design into
pieces. The paint will feel just like thin rubber
and is very easy to tear.

so it can stick to another surface. Place it
anywhere on the mirror or any other surface.

temper. He could get angry easily. His father gave
him a bag of nails and told him that every time he
lost his temper, he must hammer a nail into the
back of the fence. The first day, the boy had
hammered 37 nails into the fence. For the next few
weeks, as he could control his anger, the number
of nails hammered was getting smaller. He
discovered it was easier to hold his temper than to
hammer those nails into the fence.

angry at all. He told his father about it and the
father suggested that the boy now pull out one nail
each day he was able to hold his temper. The days
passed and the boy was finally able to tell his
father that all the nails were gone.
The father took his son and led him to the
fence. He said, "You have done well, my son! but
look at the holes in the fence. The fence will never

Lightning is an electrical discharge that
occurs in a thunderstorm. It can be seen in the
form of a bright streak (or bolt) from the sky.
Lightning occurs when an electrical charge is built
up within a cloud, due to static electricity
generated by supercooled water droplets colliding
with ice crystals near the freezing level. When a
large enough charge is built up, a large discharge
Paket.BIG-IX.14-15
will occur and can be seen as lightning.
The temperature of a lightning bolt can be
five times hotter than the surface of the sun.
Although the lightning is extremely hot, the
duration is short and 90% of striken victims
survive. Contrary to the popular idea that lightning
does not strike twice in the same spot, some
people have been struck by lightning over three
times, and skyscrapers like the Empire State
Building have been struck numerous times in the
same storm. The loud bang that is heard is the
super heated air around the lightning bolt
expanding at the speed of sound. Because sound
travels slower than light the flash is seen before
the bang, although both occur at the same
moment.
21. What does the text mostly talk about?
a. Electrical charge. c. Thunderstorm.
b. Lightning. d. Weather.
22. How is the static electricity built up?
a. When the very cold water droplets collide
with the ice crystal.
b. It happened under the heavy rain in the sky.
c. When the wet air blast in the cloud.
d. When there is cloud rises to the high altitude
in a very cold weather.
23. "... due to static electricity generated by
supercooled water droplets ..." (Paragraph 1, line
3)
What does the underlined word mean?
a. Collided. c. Produced.
b. Delivered. d. Sent.
24. From the text, we can conclude that....
a. most victims of lightning strikes can survive.
b. lightning will strike people more than three
times.
