A Mermaid and a Magic Comb
Once upon a time, there was a young mermaid. She had seven other sisters. She was told: "When you are sixteen, you can go over the waves and see the
human land". One by one the sisters went to the surface. Then it was the little mermaids turn. She went to the surface.
It was a horrible day for sailing but the prince went sailing anyway. Suddenly the boat hit some rocks that weren’t visible. The prince was thrown into the
water. The little mermaid swam and pulled him on land and started singing to him. The next moment they were in love.
The little mermaid heard someone coming and swam away. She was still in love and wanted to marry the man with the split tail, so she went to the sea witch.
"I will grant your wish, but you must give me your voice and if the prince does not love you, you will turn into sea troth and your soul will be mine". The
little mermaid agreed.
From his castle the prince could see the beach. He saw someone and ran down to see who it was. "Hello, are you alright?" the mermaid went to speak but
nothing came out. "You can’t speak?" the mermaid nodded her head. "Come with me." A servant brought the mermaid some clothes. She slept all night. The
prince was up early and went to the balcony. He heard singing. It sounded like the singing he heard when he almost drowned. He ran down to the beach "You
save my life!" "Yes I did." It was the sea witch. She had transformed into a beautiful lady using the little mermaid’s voice.
When the mermaid woke up she got a shock "We're going to marry tomorrow" said the prince to a wedding planner. The little mermaid was invited to. It was
the third day. "I do" said the prince. It was sunset the little mermaid was standing on a rock by the sea. She was then swept off the rock and now belongs to
the sea witch.

Culture shock is the feeling of disorientation experienced by someone when they are suddenly subjected to an unfamiliar culture and way of life. It can be
caused by a range of things such as unfamiliar greetings, hand gestures, food. This unfamiliarity can lead to symptoms such as confusion, anxiety, frustration,
loneliness, and homesickness. It can even lead to physical symptoms such as insomnia, or colds and stomach bugs due to unfamiliar foods and bacteria. There
are four different culture shock stages to the process – honeymoon, negotiation, adjustment and adaptation. Read on to find out more about each stage.
The Honeymoon Stage is the first stage of culture shock, and it can often last for several weeks or even months. This is the euphoric phase when you’re
fascinated by all the exciting and different aspects of your new life – from the sights and smells to the pace of life and cultural habits. During this phase,
you’re quick to identify similarities between the new culture and your own, and you find the locals hospitable and friendly. You may even find things that
would be a nuisance back home, such as a traffic jam, amusing and charming in your new location.
Next is the negotiation stage which is characterized by frustration and anxiety. This usually hits around the three-month mark, although it can be earlier for
some individuals. As the excitement gradually disappears you are continually faced with difficulties or uncomfortable situations that may offend or make you
feel disconnected. Maybe you can’t remember the way back to your new home because the street signs are confusing, or you can’t fathom how and what to
order in a restaurant. At this point, you also start to miss your friends and family back home.
Around 6 months, you will reach adjustment stage. This is the stage where life gradually starts to get better and routine sets in. You begin to become more
familiar with the local way of life, food and customs. By this point you may have made a few friends or learnt some of the languages, helping you to adjust
and better understand the local culture.
Finally, you reach the adaptation stage; sometimes know as the bicultural stage. You now feel comfortable in your new country and better integrated – you
have successfully adapted to your new way of life. You no longer feel isolated and lonely and are used to your new daily activities and friends. When coming
back to your place, you may experience re-entry shock.

How do you study when the test is coming? Do you start preparing for the test weeks or months before the test or leave things to the last hour? If you start
studying weeks or months before the test, it is great. However, if you study all the material in the last hour or minute, it is not good for you. This is called
cramming.
Cramming is when students stay up all night until morning to study before a test or finish an assignment. This habit can lead to negative impacts, the first
being that disruptions in the regular sleep cycle can cause temporary intellectual lapses. For most students, less sleep can make them could not focus on the
class. Additionally, cramming can leave us with memory lapses as well.
Each person has a different sleeping schedule, so some of them often use a stimulant for cramming. An example stimulant, and the most common, is coffee.
While delicious and beneficial, it causes many problems in the long-term such as Caffeine Intoxication Syndrome, anxiety, panic, and headaches.
To sum up, cramming is not recommended because it disturbs a person’s sleep cycle which causes temporary intellectual lapses, and using stimulants for
cramming gives them a bad effect on their health.
How is the writer’s position towards cramming?
A He does not understand the topic
B He agrees that cramming disturbs one’s health
C He is so neutral towards the topic

There is almost no other event that could be called as influential as the printing press that Gutenberg invented around 1440. Before this monumental creation,
books were copied by hand. Laboriously, monks and other men of learning would spend hours and hours through the bright sunlight and the weak light of an
oil lamp to make copies of religious texts, literature, and official documents. It could take years just to copy one book. When Gutenberg devised a printing
press that could print copy after copy in just a small fraction of the time, the whole world changed dramatically. All of a sudden, everyone could have their
own copies of the religious scriptures. They could read them for themselves. Political pamphlets could be made by the thousands and influence the masses
like never before. Learning was not limited to a select few. It was available for all. Books were not just for the rich. They could be made for those of lower
classes. Gutenberg’s press changed the political world, the religious world, and the everyday life of man. No more would we lean on a select few to direct us.
We could take it for ourselves.

On 12 May 1998, six student protestors were shot and killed at Jakarta’s Trisakti University, providing the spark for the capital’s worst rioting in a generation.
Foreigners fled and Jakarta’s commercial districts became ghost towns. As flames swept the capital and army troops took charge, Suharto scrambled to hold
on. But one by one, his most trusted lieutenants abandoned him. On the morning of 21 May, he resigned. Joyful students frolicked in the fountain at
parliament as Suharto’s vice-president and close friend BJ Habibie was sworn in as his successor.
During Habibie’s short rule, he freed the press, allowed a referendum on East Timor (now called Timor Leste) and steered Indonesia to a democratic election
that ended with his own October 1999 defeat – the first democratic political transition in Indonesian history.

An earthquake is a shock wave that radiates to the Earth's surface from underground. Causing a range of effects from unnoticeable, mild tremors to violent,
prolonged shaking. Earthquakes develop when tectonic plates, the massive "jigsaw pieces" that make up the crust of the earth, move suddenly, sending
shockwaves through neighboring area. The movement comes from the Earth, tectonic, and fault lines.
Movement in the Earth's crust causes an earthquake. The Earth is made of an inner core, an outer core and a mantle, and the final layer is a thin crust covering
the mantle, which is the surface of the Earth including all the oceans and continents. The crust is made of separate rocky portions called tectonic plates, which
lie on the mantle like pieces of a jigsaw puzzle. But the jigsaw puzzle is mobile, and the plates move around. Some slide past each other horizontally, some
push together and force the ground upward, some slide beneath another plate and some pull apart. Whenever a tectonic plate moves suddenly, this causes an
earthquake.
The sudden release of friction and pressure between tectonic plates causes an earthquake. Tectonic plates are made of rough rock and cannot slide pass each
other smoothly. Friction prevents movement at the plate edges while the rest of the plates continue to move, causing a build-up in pressure. When the pressure
overcomes the friction, the plates move suddenly, and shock waves from this sudden movement radiate through rock, soil, buildings and water. Usually, small
foreshocks occur at first, followed by one big mainshock. Aftershocks follow and can continue for weeks, months or even years.
Fault lines are the areas where two or more tectonic plates join, and it's in these areas most earthquakes occur. Well-studied fault lines include the San
Andreas Fault that runs down the West Coast of North America and lines between Australia and Papua New Guinea, as well as in New Zealand, Tonga, Japan
and Taiwan. Earthquakes can also rarely occur in the middle of tectonic plates. Scientists aren't yet able to predict earthquakes, but people living near fault
lines can help protect themselves by living in earthquake-protected housing and practicing earthquake drills.

What occurs when the pressure overcomes the friction?
A The final layer of earth rises in heat.
B The rocks within the inner core of the earth start to collapse.
C The shock waves radiate through rock, soil, buildings and water.
D The ground is shaking tremendously.
E The plates within the inner core intersect each other.

Are you tired of traveling every day to and from office? Have you been thinking that the 8-5 system is not your thing? Are you tired of the huge traffic jams?
If yes is the answer to all the above questions, online jobs are what you are lacking. You have probably heard people talk about online jobs and their
advantages but never given it a try. Due to the amazing benefits, the number of people working online has been increasing day by day. Changes in the
economy and working patterns have made online jobs common. People of different expertise and skills are doing online jobs. Below are some of the
advantages of working online.
One of the biggest advantages of working online is that there is no work pressure. Compared to office work, online jobs are less stressful, and no one will be
following or supervising you all the time. You will plan yourself freely.
In respect to time, online jobs offer huge flexibility. You have the power to schedule your working hours. You will not be tied in an office from 9-6 even when
you have already finished the day’s duty. Such gives you a chance to work on other personal obligations as well or on what you are best at.
Working without someone over you is a fantasy to many people. With online jobs, you will be your boss. What else are you looking for in a job? You will not
be shouted at from time to time nor will anyone scold you even for the smallest mistakes.
With online jobs, you will be able to work for different clients. This means more work and gives you the opportunity to choose the one with the best rates.
The more clients you have, the better you will be earning. Some online workers earn more than office workers.
Another reason why people are opting for online jobs is that they can experiment on different jobs. For example, if you feel that whatever you have been
doing is becoming monotonous, you can switch to another job. Such freedoms make the work very interesting

Butterfly Lovers
(From China)
Long time ago in China, girls were expected to stay at home and learnt household work while the boys went to school, but a girl named Zhu conceived a
desire to study but her father did not want to fight against tradition. He was confident that no school would admit a girl even Zhu’s family was wealthy.
Zhu disguised herself as a boy and managed to get a school in the city of Hangzhou, where her aunt lived.
There was a boy named Liang in her class. The two became good friends. As the years passed they became inseparable companions. Zhu realized that she
was in love. She wanted to stay with Liang the rest of her life.
After finishing school, Liang lost no time in taking up a job, and when he had saved enough to get married he hastened to Zhu’s house. Zhu saw him coming,
and was overjoyed. “I’m your friend, as you can see I’m a girl. Unable to restrain herself she rushed out, I cannot live without you!"
Liang was dazed but it soon recovered and caught Zhu in a warm embrace. Zhu took him to her father who listened attentively to what Liang had to say, but
when the young man asked for Zhu’s hand, he shook his head. He told Liang that Zhu had already been promised to another man, a wealthy merchant.
Nothing that Liang said could make Zhu’s father change his mind. Liang left, shattered. On the way, he collapsed and died.
When Zhu learnt of Liang’s death, she lost all desire to continue living. She pretended to agree to the marriage arranged for her on one condition that the
wedding procession passed by Liang’s grave. As the wedding procession near, Zhu jumped down from her palanquin and rushing to Liang’s grave threw
herself on it, sobbing uncontrollably. Zhu leapt into it. When Zhu’s relatives reached the grave and peered into it, all they saw at first was an empty coffin.
Then out flew two butterflies, dancing as if they could not believe they were together. KUNCI: A;B;C

Built in lush, mountainous terrain high above the Urubamba River, Machu Picchu lies in one of the most stunning settings of any archeological site in the
world. This ancient city of Incas cascades down steep walls on each side of the mountain, with terraced steps that disappear over cliff edges into the valley
below. These incredible ruins have been restored and are well maintained, giving visitors a good indication of what the city might have looked like when it
was occupied during the 15th and 16th centuries.
Many people come to Peru for the sole purpose of visiting Machu Picchu, and the journey to the ruins can be an adventure in and of itself, depending on how
travelers choose to reach the site. Adventurous souls can opt for a guided, multi-day hike and camping trip along the famous Inca Trail to reach the site, or
choose the easier option of accessing the ruins by bus from the small town of Aguas Calientes at the base of the hill, which most visitors get to by train
from Cusco or the Sacred Valley.

Castle on the Hill
When I was six years old I broke my leg
I was running from my brother and his friends
And tasted the sweet perfume of the mountain grass I rolled down
I was younger then, take me back to when I
Found my heart and broke it here
Made friends and lost them through the years
And I've not seen the roaring fields in so long, I know I've grown
But I can't wait to go home
I'm on my way
Driving at ninety down those country lanes
Singing to ""Tiny Dancer""
And I miss the way you make me feel, and it's real
We watched the sunset over the castle on the hill
Fifteen years old and smoking hand-rolled cigarettes
Running from the law through the backfields and getting drunk with my friends
Had my first kiss on a Friday night, I don't reckon that I did it right
But I was younger then, take me back to when
We found weekend jobs, when we got paid
We'd buy cheap spirits and drink them straight
Me and my friends have not thrown up in so long, oh how we've grown
But I can't wait to go home
I'm on my way
Driving at ninety down those country lanes
Singing to ""Tiny Dancer""
And I miss the way you make me feel, and it's real
Over the castle on the hill

One friend left to sell clothes
One works down by the coast
One had two kids but lives alone
One's brother overdosed
One's already on his second wife
One's just barely getting by
But these people raised me and I can't wait to go home
And I'm on my way, I still remember
This old country lanes
When we did not know the answers
And I miss the way you make me feel, it's real

Covid-19 Pandemic 2020
In late 2019/early 2020, China experienced an outbreak of a new virus, Covid-19. The virus had a fatality rate of between 1-4% and spread with alarming
speed. In March 2020 Italy became the first country in the western world to implement a lockdown to try and stop the rapid escalation of the virus. There soon
followed widespread global ‘lockdowns’ with people confined to their homes and business shut down.
Despite travel bans, the virus spread to all countries around the world. This lockdown had a profound adverse effect on the global economy with a sharp rise
in unemployment and a fall in output. It also challenged long-held view of invulnerability amongst western developed countries. The long-term impact of the
pandemic is uncertain, but it will lead to structural changes in the economy and the balance of the world. China is both seen as the source of the virus, but also
– as the world’s dominant manufacturer – is a key player in the efforts to manufacture equipment to deal with the crisis.

Geyser: How It Works
A geyser is a rare kind of hot spring that is under pressure and erupts, sending jets of water and steam into the air.
Geysers are made from a tube-like hole in the Earth's surface that runs deep into the crust. The tube is filled with water. Near the bottom of the tube
is molten rock called magma, which heats the water in the tube. Water in the lower part of the tube, close to the magma, becomes superhot. Gradually, it
begins to boil. Some of the water is forced upward. The boiling water begins to steam, or turn to gas. The steam jets toward the surface. Its powerful jet of
steam ejects the column of water above it. The water rushes through the tube and into the air.
The eruption will continue until all the water is forced out of the tube, or until the temperature inside the geyser drops below boiling (100 degrees Celsius, or
212 degrees Fahrenheit, at sea level).
After the eruption, water slowly seeps back into the tube. The process begins again. In some small geysers, the eruption process can take just a few minutes.
In larger geysers, it can take days. The most famous geyser in the United States, Yellowstone National Park's Old Faithful, erupts about every 50-100 minutes.

How Social Media Affects the Brain

Due to the effect that it has on the brain, social media is addictive both physically and psychologically. According to a new study by Harvard University, self-
disclosure on social networking sites lights up the same part of the brain that also ignites when taking an addictive substance. The reward area in the brain and
its chemical messenger pathways affect decisions and sensations.
This is observable in social media usage; when an individual gets a notification, such as a like or mention, the brain receives a rush of dopamine and sends it
along reward pathways, causing him or her to feel pleasure. Social media provides an endless number of immediate rewards in the form of attention from
others for relatively minimal effort. Therefore, the brain rewires itself through this positive reinforcement, making people desire likes, retweets, and emoticon
reactions.
Another perpetuating factor of social media addiction is the fact that the reward centers of the brain are most active when people are talking about themselves.
In real life, it’s estimated that people talk about themselves around 30 to 40% of the time; however, social media is all about showing off one’s life and
accomplishments, so people talk about themselves a staggering 80% of the time. When a person posts a picture and gets positive social feedback, it stimulates
the brain to release dopamine, which again rewards that behavior and perpetuates the social media habit.
Social media use becomes problematic when someone views social networking sites as an important coping mechanism to relieve stress, loneliness, or
depression. For these people, social media use provides continuous rewards that they’re not receiving in real life, and end up engaging in the activity more
and more. This continuous use eventually leads to multiple interpersonal problems, such as ignoring real life relationships, work or school responsibilities,
and physical health, which may then exacerbate an individual’s undesirable moods. This then causes people to engage in the social networking behavior even
more as a way of relieving dysphoric mood states. Consequently, when social network users repeat this cyclical pattern of relieving undesirable moods with
social media use, the level of psychological dependency on social media increases.
Source: https://www.addictioncenter.com/drugs/social-media-addiction/
Based on the text above, please decide whether these three statements are TRUE or FALSE.
A Excessive use of social media is as harmful as consuming drugs.
B Excessive use of social media causes undesirable mood change.
C Excessive use of social media is dangerous for human.

Decomposition
Dead organisms are broken down into smaller pieces by the process of decay. Organisms such as earthworms are involved in this process. Decomposition is
the process by which bacteria and fungi break dead organisms into their simple compounds. Plants can absorb and use these compounds again, completing the
cycle. Decomposing bacteria and fungi are described as saprophytic because of the way they break down dead organic matter.
Saprophytic nutrition involves: Bacteria/fungi secreting enzymes out of their cells into the soil or dead organism, the enzymes digest the organic material.
This is known as extracellular digestion as it happens outside the cells, and the products of digestion are absorbed by the bacteria/fungi.
Decomposition happens quickly when the temperature is warm, there is enough moisture, and the decomposing organism has a large surface area
Anaerobic conditions (little/no oxygen available - for example, waterlogged soil) cause the rate of decomposition to decrease.

Overthinking – To What Extent Can It Damage Your Life?
Are you still beating yourself up for the mistake you made last week? Are you constantly going over next week’s presentation at work in your head? You are
probably overthinking. Your inability to get out of your head may leave you in a constant state of anguish. Of course, we all tend to overthink a situation
occasionally. Overthinking is more than just a nuisance – science reveals that thinking too much can damage you too.
It triggers mental illness. Are you always fixated on your past mistakes? Dwelling on your mistakes, problems and shortcomings increases your chances of
being affected by mental health problems. Overthinking can set you up for a vicious cycle that is hard to break. It wreaks havoc on your mental peace – and as
you lose your peace of mind, you tend to overthink.
It disrupts your sleep. If you are an overthinker, you probably face sleep problems. This is because your body does not allow you to sleep when your mind is
not at peace. Ruminating on almost everything and worrying constantly about things over which you have little or no control often led to fewer hours of sleep.
Thus, overthinking impairs your quality of sleep and may make you cranky the next day as well.
The bottom-line is, overthinking can change the way you work with others and the way you do things. It can significantly affect your personal life, social life
and work-life too. Most importantly, overthinking may also cause emotional distress. To overcome this, you will need to make some changes in your
perspective and make a constant effort to shrug away any thoughts that make you feel astray.
https://pharmeasy.in/blog/overthinking-to-what-extent-can-it-damage-your-life/
Based on the text, please decide whether this statement is true or false KUNCI: BENAR/TRUE
Overthinking can be avoided if we go easy on ourselves, have enough sleep, and change the way we see everything on our life.
