Dear Dimas,

I have one male cat named Simba. I got him from my friend, Sandi, a couple months ago.
Simba spends most of his day by napping on the couch. He likes to be petted by me when
he is napping. Sometimes he goes outside to climb the wall fences or trees and takes a nap.
What a sluggish cat.

Simba is an adult cat. Now, he is about one and a half years old. His coat has two main
colors, black and white. He has black stripes on his upper face, body, and tail, while his neck
and four legs are white. He has a light pink nose.

Although Simba is a sluggish cat, he always eagerly runs to his bowl when I bring him some
food. He likes most food that I give him, especially fresh or cooked fish. I feed him twice or
three times every day.

Come over sometime. I‟ll introduce you to Simba.

Love,

Rina

My name is Jane and I am 17 years old now. Since I was a kid, I have always been
interested in cats. Every time I saw them, I felt they were the cutest animals on this
planet. Many people love dogs but not me.
One day, on my 7th birthday, my father brought me a white kitten. It was one of the
best days I have ever had. I fell in love with the kitten and I called him Coco. According to
my father, Coco was a Persian breed. He had clear white fur. His face was partly covered
by it. His nose looked tiny and cute, especially if he stared at me. He liked playing, so
many people in the house loved him. His favorite food was chicken breast.
Every day, I spent some time with him. Once a month, I brought him to the pet shop
for grooming with my father. Coco stayed with me for more than four years. My heart was
broken when Coco was sick because of heartworm disease. It was caused by the spread of
infectious mosquitoes. I asked my father to bring him to the veterinary, but it was too late.
I was sad when my father said I had to let Coco go. Coco was the last pet that I ever had.

The Ants and Their Big Food

A tiny worker ant, Red Head, tried hard to pull a crumb of bread but it did not move
anywhere since it was bigger than he was.
“It‟s impossible for a weak worker like you to bring this crumb of bread. I‟ll show you
my strength,” said a soldier ant, called Big Head.
Big Head started to pull the crumb of bread but his strength was not enough. He
stopped his effort and gasped for breath.
“If a strong soldier cannot bring it, a worker can‟t either,” said Big Head.
“I know how to bring it,” said another worker ant behind them.
“Small Head, you are just a worker. Do you think that you are stronger than a soldier?”
said Big Head.
“You said a worker or a soldier can‟t but together we can. I‟ll show you,” said Small
Head.
Small Head waved his antenna and called a horde of ants.
Then, Small Head stood on a small stone and said, “My friends, it‟s a big food for us
but we need to work together to realize our dream. We can lift and move this big crumb
to our ant hill. We can cut this big crumb into tiny pieces and bring them.”
Soldiers and workers started biting and cutting the crumb of bread into tiny pieces.
Some of them brought together the rest big part of the crumb. Big Head and Red Head

tpm_aspd1_disdikpora_bahasa_inggris_pkt_b 18

ant hill.
In the ant hill, Big Head said, ”I‟m sorry for underestimating you. Winning together in
cooperative action is more important than defeating each other.”

Guava is small tropical tree or shrub of the family Myrtaceae. They are cultivated for
its edible fruits. Guava trees are native to tropical America and are grown in tropical and
subtropical areas worldwide. Fresh guavas are rich in vitamins A, B, and C. They are
commonly eaten raw and may be sliced and served with sugar and cream as a dessert.
The common guava has quadrangular branchlets, oval to oblong leaves about 7.6 cm
in length, and four-petaled white flowers about 2.5 cm broad. The fruits are round to
pear-shaped and measure up to 7.6 cm in diameter. Their pulp contains many small hard
seeds. They are more abundant in wild forms than in cultivated varieties.
The fruit has a yellow skin and white, yellow, or pink flesh. The musky, at times
pungent, odor of the sweet pulp is not always appreciated. The fruit is the result of a
pollination process helped by wind.

James Brooke
- By Paul Nation

James Brooke was born in India in 1803 and sent to school in England. He went
back to India to work but he did not like the situation. Next, he worked on a ship and
learned foreign places. When Brooke reached Sarawak, the people, especially the Dayaks
were fighting the sultan named Hassim. Hassim asked for Brooke‟s help to stop the war
and promised him to give Sarawak country for that.
Brooke began to teach Hassim‟s men how to use guns. Seeing that, the people
were afraid. Brooke facilitated negotiation between the sultan and the people to end the
war peacefully. After the war ended, he became the first English Sultan of Sarawak in
1842.
Brooke was a very good leader. He did law enforcement to the people. Soon they
felt safer and enjoyed a happier and more peaceful life. James Brooke was very interested
in learning and he wanted the people of Sarawak to learn about the world. He invited
teachers from Britain to come to Sarawak and built the first schools in the country. People
became more and more interested in studying. Many parents sent their children to the
schools so that they could make their lives better.
In 1863 Brooke returned to England because he was not well. Another member of
his family named Charles Brooke became the second English Sultan of Sarawak. James
Brooke died in England in 1868. Now Sarawak is a part of Malaysia, but the name Brooke
is still remembered.

Liquefaction is a phenomenon in which the strength and stiffness of soil is reduced

by earthquake shaking or other rapid loading. Liquefaction and related phenomena have
been responsible for tremendous amounts of damage in historical earthquakes around
the world.
Liquefaction occurs in saturated soils in which the space between individual particles
is completely filled with water. This water gives a pressure on the soil particles that
influences how tightly the particles themselves are pressed together. Prior to an
earthquake, the water pressure is relatively low. However, earthquake shaking can cause
the water pressure to increase to the point where the soil particles can readily move.
Earthquake shaking often triggers the increase in water pressure, but construction
related activities such as blasting can also cause an increase in water pressure. When
liquefaction occurs, the strength of the soil decreases and the ability of a soil deposit to
support foundations for buildings and bridges is reduced.

44. Which of the followings are closely related to liquefaction?

(1) It is completely harmless.
(2) It can cause mass destruction.
(3) It occurs when the soil loses its strength.
