Dieng Plateau is a marshy plateau that forms the floor of a caldera complex on the
Dieng Volcanic Complex in Wonosobo and Banjarnegara, Central Java, Indonesia. Refers
to the plateau as “ Dieng ”, it sits at 2,000 metres (6,600 ft) above sea level, far from major
population centers. The name "Dieng" comes from Di Hyang which means "Abode of the
Gods".
With an elevation of 2,060 m above sea level, Dieng has a distinct subtropical
highland climate under the Köppen climate classification (Cwb).
Known for its chilly weather, the temperatures may even drop to 2 degrees (along with
wind chills down to -2º) in the peak of its dry season. Though infrequent, frosts have been
recorded every year, particularly in late evenings and mornings of July and August. This
may last for one week in average. Though this regionally-rare weather phenomena
occasionally attracts tourists to cluster around the plateau area, it is also notorious for the
destruction that it often inflicts upon the local product, with agricultural plants and crops
such as potatoes being the most severely affected.

3. Who will probably be interested in reading the text?

A. Someone who loves sunbathing.
B. Someone who loves adventure.
C. An agricultural engineer.

How to use a clothes steamer
1. Prepare the steamer for use.
Pour cold water into the water tank of your clothing steamer. Make sure that all of the
parts of the steamer are secured properly, you don't want to leak water all over the
place.
Plug the steamer in. Steamers usually heat up fairly quickly (2-3 minutes). Allow your
steamer to heat until steam begins to form. Be sure to let your steamer warm up all of
the way to get the best results.
Make sure it is steaming nicely before you use it. You can check how well it is steaming
by pulling the trigger on the handle / pressing the button, and seeing how much steam
issues when you release it. This is the same button you will use while steaming your
clothes.

2. Hang the garment you wish to steam.

It's easiest to steam a garment when it is hanging. Upright steamers typically have a
hanging pole attached. If you're using a handheld steamer, hang your garment on a
hanger and place it on a shower rod, the back of a chair, a door knob, or anything of that
nature.

3. Steam your garment by running the steamer in downward strokes along the
fabric.
You don't need to press hard or push the fabric against anything, the steam will gently
remove the wrinkles on its own. As you slide the steamer down your garment, press the
steam button every so often to apply steam to the fabric.

4. Let your garment dry.

After a fresh steaming, your garment will feel damp. There may also be some small
water spots. Do not be alarmed, this is completely normal and your garment will dry. Let
the garment sit for 5-10 minutes after steaming it before you put it on or hang it in your
closet. This will give the garment ample time to dry.

19. What will probably happen if all of the parts of the steamer are not well set?
A. The place will be wet because the water gets out through the steamer.

Clouds may look fluffy and innocent, but they are actually active things. At their
most exciting event, they can create the wondrous effect of lightning.
Water and ice move around inside the cloud; forced up by warm air currents,
down by gravity, and compressed in the cloud. Just as rubbing a balloon can create
static electricity, the particles in the cloud become charged. It’s not clear how it happens,
but charges separate in the cloud. The positive charges move up, and the negatives
move down.
Once a significant charge separation has built up, the positive and negative
charges seek to reach each other and neutralize. ‘Streamers’ come up from the ground
to form a pathway. Once a pathway is completed a spark forms, neutralizing the charge.
As the negative charge races down, the air surrounding it heats up. The spark is
very hot at almost 20,000 degrees Celsius, and it rapidly heats the air to create a shock
wave.
Considering light travels very fast – about 300 million meters per second, and
that sound only travels at 300 meters per second; light is a million times faster than the
sound produced. To find out how far away the storm is, you can count how long you hear
the sound after the lightning. For every 4 seconds between the flash and the rumble, the
thunderstorm is 1 mile away.

Read the following text.
Clouds may look fluffy and innocent, but they are actually active things. At their
most exciting event, they can create the wondrous effect of lightning.
Water and ice move around inside the cloud; forced up by warm air currents,
down by gravity, and compressed in the cloud. Just as rubbing a balloon can create
static electricity, the particles in the cloud become charged. It’s not clear how it happens,
but charges separate in the cloud. The positive charges move up, and the negatives
move down.
Once a significant charge separation has built up, the positive and negative
charges seek to reach each other and neutralize. ‘Streamers’ come up from the ground
to form a pathway. Once a pathway is completed a spark forms, neutralizing the charge.
As the negative charge races down, the air surrounding it heats up. The spark is
very hot at almost 20,000 degrees Celsius, and it rapidly heats the air to create a shock
wave.
Considering light travels very fast – about 300 million meters per second, and
that sound only travels at 300 meters per second; light is a million times faster than the
sound produced. To find out how far away the storm is, you can count how long you hear
the sound after the lightning. For every 4 seconds between the flash and the rumble, the
thunderstorm is 1 mile away.
