Eagles are birds of prey. They feed on mammals, other birds, reptiles and even fish. They
build their nest on tall trees and lay one or two eggs at a time.
The white and grey sea-eagle which soars in circles at great heights along the coast is a
beautiful creature. It feeds on fish, crab and sea-snakes. The crabs, one caught, are dropped
from a great height onto rocks so that their shells break.
The Brahminy Kite is smaller than the sea-eagle and has handsome brown and white
feathers. It is a scavenger. Flying along the coast, it picks up the floating rubbish round the ships.
Its cry is like that of a cat –a high – pitched “miaow”.

in Java. More than 20 train departures and arrivals - economy class, business and executive ones
- occur everyday. There are various options for train types and time departures to go to a certain
city.
Being built during the Dutch colonial time, the architecture of the building is so close to
European nuance. Getting down from the train, you will directly notice it from the big doors in
brown color and the high roof accentuated with robust walls painted in white. You can enjoy the
original shape of the building from the front view. The building looks so great with big entrance
and two high roofs sheltering two platforms on the north and south sides of the main building.

The following text is for questions 36 to 38.

Flood is an overflow of water that soaks or covers land. Floods are the most frequent type
of natural disaster worldwide. It can be caused by several things, naturally and form the effect
of human behavior. The most common cause is because of the over capacity of the body of
water, e.g. river or lake. As a result some of the water flows outside of the body of water. It can
also occur in rivers, when the strength of the river is so high that it flows right out of the river
channel. A flood from sea may be caused by a heavy storm, a high tide, a tsunami, or a
combination the three.
Soil and vegetation absorbs most of the surface water, floods happen when there are lack
of trees and the soil alone cannot absorb all the water. The water then runs off the land in
quantities that cannot be carried in stream channels or kept in natural ponds or man-made
reservoirs. A flood can also be caused by blocked sewage pipes and waterways, such as the
Jakarta flood.
There are several types of flood. Periodic floods occur naturally on many rivers, forming
an area known as the flood plain. These river floods usually result from heavy rain, sometimes
combined with melting snow, which causes the rivers to overflow their banks. A flood that rises
and falls rapidly with little or no advance warning is called a flash flood.

36. The text above mainly tells about ….

A. natural disaster
B. water capacity
C. flood
D. soil

37. Which activity does not cause flood naturally?

A. Urban people block the sewage pipes with garbage.
B. There is less number of trees absorbing all the water.
C. Heavy rain runs off the land in huge quantities.
D. A high tide and tsunami happen at the sea.
