Hurt
(Christina Aguilera)

Seems like it was yesterday when I saw your face


You told me how proud you were, but I walked away
If only I knew what I know today
Ooh, ooh
I would hold you in my arms
I would take the pain away
Thank you for all you've done
Forgive all your mistakes
There's nothing I wouldn't do
To hear your voice again
Sometimes I wanna call you
But I know you won't be there
Ohh I'm sorry for blaming you
For everything I just couldn't do
And I've hurt myself by hurting you
Some days I feel broke inside but I won't admit
Sometimes I just wanna hide 'cause it's you I miss
And it's so hard to say goodbye
When it comes to this
Would you tell me I was wrong?
Would you help understand?
Are you looking down upon me?
Are you proud of who I am?
There's nothing I wouldn't do
To have just…

Long long ago, there was a kingdom in West Java. The kingdom was ruled by a king
named His Majesty Prabu.
Prabu was a kind and wise king. But it was a pity that Prabu and his queen hadn't got any
children. The queen often cried. That was why Prabu went to the jungle. There he prayed to God
every day, begging for a child.
A few months later, the queen got pregnant. Nine months later, a princess was born. Prabu
and Queen loved their beautiful daughter so much. They gave whatever she wanted. It made
Princess turn into a very spoiled girl.
One day, the princess celebrated her 17th birthday party. Many people gathered in the
palace. Then, Prabu took out a necklace which was made from gold and jewel.
"My beloved daughter, today I give you this necklace. Please, wear this necklace," said
Prabu.
"I don't want to wear it! It's ugly!" shouted the princess. Then she threw the necklace. The
beautiful necklace was broken. The gold and jewels were spread out on the floor. Everybody
couldn't say anything. They never thought that their beloved princess would do that cruel thing. In
their silence, people heard the queen crying. Every woman felt sad and began crying, too. Then,
everybody was crying. Then, there was a miracle. Earth was crying.

Suddenly, from the underground, a spring emerged. It made a pool of water. Soon, the
place became a big lake. The lake finally sank the kingdom.
Nowadays, people called the lake "Telaga Warna". It means "Lake of Color". On a bright
day, the lake is full of color. These colors come from shadows of forest, plants, flowers, and sky

Pamukkale is one of Turkey’s incomparable natural wonder with the calcium


cascade terraces of snow white stalactites and is known as 8th wonder of the World by
Turkish people. Pamukkale & Hierapolis together are both recognized as UNESCO World
Heritage Sites since 1988. They have all the conditions required for an ideal touristic resort.
Pamukkale means “Cotton Castle” but had many different uncommon names in the past.
Pamukkale is very well known with the entrancing beauty of its unique geological formation
and also with its historical remains.

The white cotton-like terraces are mineral deposits which come from Cal Mountain’s
rich spring waters and volcanic springs that were saved since thousand years. The water runs
down the travertine and fill them up with water and there is a pool where you can have a
chance to swim among the ancient Roman columns.

The ancient city of Hierapolis was located on the top of the white terraces and is about
2700 meters long and 160m high. It can be seen from the hills on the opposite side of the
valley. It has 14000 year-old existence.

To keep the travertine white and to prevent crush and damage on them, in 1997 it was
forbidden to walk on them and the water is allowed to reach the terraces periodically
according to weekly watering schedule. But it is possible to walk on the south part of the
travertine with naked foot.

There are many reasons why people become vegetarians, including personal health, the
environment, and the economy.
A vegetarian is a person who does not eat meat, poultry, and fish. Vegetarians mostly
eat fruit, vegetables, legumes, grains, seeds, and nuts. Vegetarians also consume eggs and dairy
products, but they avoid meat products, such as beef, chicken stocks, and gelatin.
According to research, vegetarians have lower risk of heart disease, high cholesterol,
diabetes, obesity, and high blood pressure. This may happen due to a healthy vegetarian diet,

Independent, Tuesday 28 January 2022 18:59. An orangutan found starving and with gunshot
wounds after fire destroyed its home has been returned to the wild as experts warned Earth’s
most biodiverse ecosystems are facing a crisis of destruction.

Epen, as rescuers named the animal, was released with gun pellets still lodged in its back and
thighs from attempts to kill it. The female orangutan was found in a West Borneo forest in
November, and was very thin after suffering from malnutrition for several months.

Experts believe Epen’s habitat had been destroyed in huge fires that spread across the
Indonesian island last year, prompting the animal to leave the forest in search of food. Villagers
and farmers are known to shoot orangutans when they take crops. Epen had also been separated
from the baby she had recently given birth to, with rescuers speculating the baby may have
been lost or taken during the shooting.

The animal was treated for a month at an orangutan rehabilitation centre, whose medical team
decided it was safer not to operate to remove the pellets. They were not affecting the animal’s
health, the team said. Epen’s forest home is thought to have been badly damaged by fire and
people razing woodland to extend farmed land. Sixteen orangutans have now been released into
the protected forest of Gunung Tarak by International Animal Rescue and local
conservationists.

A. The attemps to kill the orangutans.
B. The story of Epen in looking for its baby.

C. Their dense forest didn’t have enough food for them.
D. Many people hunted and shot them in the jungle.
E. They wanted to have a better food.

Lunar eclipse is a natural event that is common to many people. Lunar eclipse can be
observed with the naked eye and is not dangerous. And it can occur not in long time, it is
about 5 until 6 hours. Events of lunar eclipse can be explained scientifically based on
science. It occurs when part or all parts of the moon surface are covered by the shadow of
the earth. Lunar eclipse can only occur during a full moon. What causes eclipses and why
Lunar eclipse occurs when part or all parts of the moon surface are covered by the
shadow of the earth. There are two types of shadow, penumbra and umbra. Umbra shadow is
a totally dark shadow and penumbra shadow is a dim shadow. Lunar eclipse occurs when the
earth’s position is in the middle between the sun and the moon on the same straight line, so
that sunlight cannot reach the moon because it is blocked by the earth.
In other words, a lunar eclipse occurs when the moon is in opposition to the sun. But
because of the slope of the field of the moon’s orbit to the ecliptic plane at 5°, then not every
moon opposition to the sun will result in the occurrence of a lunar eclipse. The intersection of
the fields of the moon’s orbit to the ecliptic plane will bring 2 pieces of cut points called nodes.
It is the point at which the moon cuts the ecliptic plane. This lunar eclipse will occur when the
moon is in opposition to the node. The moon needs 29.53 days to move from one point to other
opposition points. So, if there is a lunar eclipse, it should be followed by a solar eclipse because
both nodes are located on the line connecting the Sun to the Earth.

Try the following tips


1. Stay out of the sun during peak hours. While these times may vary slightly depending on
the season and where you live. You should be indoors if all possible between 10:00 and
15:00.
2. Keep covered up. Floppy hats and large umbrellas work well and so do cover-ups. Long-
sleeved cotton shirts are excellent for hiking, cycling etc; see your sports store for special
brands that allow breathing as well as cover-up.
3. Use sunscreen on any exposed areas. An SPF of 45+ is recommended for it allows even the
fairest skinned folks to stay out in the sun for a few hours before reapplying. Try chopstick
on your lips. Follow the instructions on sunscreen carefully. Always reapply after leaving
the water, as it’ll have washed off.
4. Don’t forget hard-to-reach places. Don’t forget to cover the backs of your knees, back of
your neck, elbows and back of your ears (if you have short hair). Feet should also be
included if you are wearing sandals, flip-flops or going bare-foot. Even these places can hurt
a lot with sunburn.
5. Don’t lie in the sun purposefully seeking a tan. This is not only damaging to your skin but
might burn you the first few times you try it at the beginning of the season. If you want to
tan, do it gradually and sensibly, with short exposure and building up over time.

scalp. Or cover it with a hat. Some shampoos and hair conditioners contain SPF protection
