We need to give our full attention to employment of children because it is one of the biggest problems that
must be faced in several countries. This problem can be ruinous. Many children lose their rights to have
education, missing out on their joyful childhood because they have to earn a living. Child labor damages the
future generation of any country. We should take serious action to reduce child labor.

Another bad impact of child labor is crime. High child labor rates will increase crime rates because children
will be easily drawn to bad things, such as smoking and consuming drugs. If they don't have money, they
will commit crimes.

There are a number of ways to reduce child labor. First, we must refuse child- produced products. Then we
can provide them with basic education that will enable them to obtain normal jobs. Governments should
also make strict trade laws which deploy stern measures against child labor. If all this is done, the whole
world could be greatly changed.

From the explanation above, we should try to reduce the amount of child labor. By doing so, it will make the
world a better place to live. It will also lessen crime and reduce world poverty.

A. Intensifying crime rates.

A. The government doesn’t take the child labor a serious matter. Consequently, child labor the
amount of child labor is declining.
B. Due to the dreadful impacts, the effort to reduce the number of child labor must be taken
seriously.
C. Child labor must be banned because they are the major cause of crime.
D. Because of lacking of money, all children labors become thieves.
E. Normal job can be achieved due to lack of education.

The terracing system of farming is particularly important where people have to grow their food on
steep, erosion prone slope. This agricultural system has been in use for three thousand years ago.
Terracing slows the rate of intense rainfall runoff which often comes in bursts, thereby minimizing
erosion while still conserving water. After rainfall, the terrace enable captured water to slowly percolate
into the fields, making for an irrigation system.

A flash flood is typically caused by sudden, excessive rainfall that sends a river, stream or other bodies
of water rapidly out of its banks. It often occurs in a short amount of time, only several hours or even less.
It can also be caused by ice jams on rivers in conjunction with a winter or spring thaw, or occasionally even
a dam break.
The constant influx of water finally causes a treacherous overflow. It is powerful enough to sweep
vehicles away, roll boulders into roadways, uproot trees, level buildings, and drag bridges off their piers.
Most frightening is the rapidity with which the water rises.

Named for the Roman goddess of dawn, the aurora is a mysterious and unpredictable display of light in
the night sky. The aurora borealis and aurora australis-the northern lights and southern lights-are common
occurrences at high northern and southern latitudes.

The typical aurora is caused by collisions between fast-moving electrons from space with the oxygen
and nitrogen in Earth's upper atmosphere. The electrons-which come from the Earth's magnetosphere, the
region of space controlled by Earth's magnetic field-transfer their energy to the oxygen and nitrogen atoms
and molecules, making them "excited". As the gases return to their normal state, they emit photons, small
bursts of energy in the form of light. When a large number of electrons come from the magnetosphere to
bombard the atmosphere, the oxygen and nitrogen can emit enough light for the eye to detect, giving us
beautiful auroral displays. This ghostly light originates at altitudes of 100 to more than 400 km.

The color of the aurora depends on which gas-oxygen or nitrogen-is being excited by the electrons, and
on how excited it becomes. The color also depends upon how fast the electrons are moving, or how much
energy they have at the time of their collisions. High energy electrons cause oxygen to emit green light (the
most familiar color of the aurora), while low energy electrons cause red light. Nitrogen generally gives off
blue light. The blending of these colors can also lead to purples, pinks, and whites. The oxygen and nitrogen
also emit ultraviolet light, which can be detected by special cameras on satellites.

The different shapes auroras are a mystery that scientist are still trying to unravel. The shape seems to
depend on where in the magnetosphere the electrons originate, what the causes to gain the energy, and
why they dove into the atmosphere.

31. What is the topic of the text?

A. The history of the aurora.
B. The way to see aurora.
C. The formation of the aurora.
D. The history of the Roman goddess of dawn.
E. The difference between aurora borealis and aurora australis
32. What is the main idea of the paragraph 2?
A. How fast-moving electrons from space collide with the oxygen and nitrogen Earth's upper
atmosphere, resulting in the aurora.
B. How the aurora causes electrons from space to collide with the oxygen and trogen in Earth's
upper atmosphere.
C. How the aurora affects fast-moving electrons from space with the oxygen nd nitrogen in Earth's
upper atmosphere.
D. How auroras make people who see them feel excited.
E. How the altitudes at which the aurora occurs.
33. What affects colors of the aurora?
A. Gas.
B. Electron and gas.
C. Nitrogen and oxygen.
D. Oxygen and electrons.
E. Electrons, nitrogen, and oxygen.

 The eye is the most important sensory organ of the human body. Four fifths of all information from
the outside world reaches the brain through the eye. But how does this wonderful organ works?
Once light reaches the retina, the light-sensing cells (photoreceptors) convert light into electrical
impulses. Photoreceptor cells are either rods or cones. Rods are concentrated along the outer perimeter
of the retina; they help us to see images in our peripheral vision and also to see in dark and dimly lit
environments. Cones are concentrated in the macula, the centre of the retina, allowing us to see fine
visual detail in the centre of our vision; they also allow us to perceive color. Together, the
photoreceptors convert light into electrical impulses that are passed through the rest of the retina,
through the optic nerve to the brain. The visual centers in the brain interpret the information received
from the retina, enabling us to see.
36. The text is mostly discussing about …
A. A general description of a wonderful organ
B. An explanation of how the brain works.

C. lights
D. retinas
E. electrical impulses
39. The word convert in paragraph 2 has closest meaning to …
A. change
B. move
C. carry
D. bring
E. pass
40. Rearrange the following sentences to form a meaningful paragraph.
1) As water drains below ground, it can dissolve subterranean caverns, particularly in area
where the bedrock is made of water-soluble evaporate rocks such as salt or gypsum or of
carbonate rocks such as limestone and dolomite.
2) Occasionally, though, the collapse is sudden.
3) Most of the time, sinkholes form gradually.
4) Sinkholes are pits in the ground that form in areas where water gathers without external
drainage, according to the U.S. Geological Survey.
5) Those sudden sinkholes are often the ones that open up and swallow cars, homes and streets.

Fight Song
Rachel Platten

Like a small boat

On the ocean
Sending big waves
Into motion
Like how a single word
Can make a heart open
I might only have one match
But I can make an explosion
And all those things I didn't say
Wrecking balls inside my brain
I will scream them loud tonight
Can you hear my voice this time?

This is my fight song

Take back my life song
Prove I'm alright song
My power's turned on
Starting right now I'll be strong
I'll play my fight song
 And I don't really care if nobody else believes
'Cause I've still got a lot of fight left in me

Losing friends and I'm chasing sleep

Everybody's worried about me
In too deep
Say I'm in too deep (in too deep)
And it's been two years I miss my home
But there's a fire burning in my bones
Still believe
Yeah, I still believe
And all those things I didn't say
Wrecking balls inside my brain
I will scream them loud tonight
Can you hear my voice this time?

A lot of fight left in me

Like a small boat
On the ocean
Sending big waves
Into motion
Like how a single word
Can make a heart open
I might only have one match
But I can make an explosion
