The Sherlock Holmes Museum
My friend and I didn’t even know that this quaint little museum existed but after dodging the dreaded
Madame Tussauds’ queue, we looked up where else we could go in the area. In comparison, the queue to Sherlock
Holmes Museum was long but moved very quickly and we were soon inside the warm, Georgian house, for only £8.
Sherlock Holmes and Doctor John H. Watson lived at 221b Baker Street in 1881-1904, according to the
stories. The house is protected by the government due to its “special architectural and historical interest”, while the
1st floor study overlooking Baker Street is still faithfully maintained for posterity as it was kept in Victorian Times.
The museum is fun for old and young alike. It is decorated as it is described in the books and you can really
imagine the old detective puzzling mysteries over his pipe. Within each room they have props you can pose with
and wax models representing victims and villains from the books including the notorious Moriarty.
The part of the museum that my friend and I particularly enjoyed was a book of all the letters posted to the
address throughout the years: from children requesting the great detective to solve their mysteries to adults
expressing their love for the novels. The book is full of some great treats including adults who genuinely believe the
character to be real and have shown their appreciation for his services to the community.
After your journey around the Georgian town house, you can visit the gift shop next door and indulge
yourself with a magnifying glass or a flat cap. It is an enjoyable experience. Make the most of our city and its literary
culture.
11. Where is the museum located?

A. It is inside the Madame Tussauds.
B. It is next to Madame Tussauds.
C. 212b Baker Street.

Once upon a time, there was a woman who had been lost in desert for three whole days without water. Just
as she was about to collapse, she saw what appeared to be a lake just a few hundred yards on front of her, “Could
it be?Or is it just a mirage?” She thought herself.
With the last bit of strength she could muster, she staggered towards the lake. Quickly she learned that her
prayers had been answered. It was no mirage- it was indeed a large, spring-fed lake full of fresh water- more fresh
water than she could ever drink in her lifetime. Yet, while she literally dying of thirst, she couldn’t bring herself to
drink the water. She simply stood by the water’s edge and stared down at it.
There was a passerby riding on a camel from a nearby desert town who was watching the woman’s bizzare
behaviour. He got off his camel, walked up to the thirsty woman, and asked, “Why don’t you have a drink, Mam?
She looked up at the man with an exhausted, distraught expression acroos her face and tears welling up in
her eyes. “I am dying of thirst,” she said, “but there is way too much water here in this lake to drink. No matter what
I do, I can’t possibly finish it all”.
The passerby smiled, bent down, scooped some water up with his hands, lifted to the woman’s mouth and
said, “Ma’am your opportunity right now, and as you move forward throughout the rest of your life, is to understand
that you don’t have to drink the whole lake to quench your thirst. You can simply take one sip. Just one small
sip…and then another if you choose. Focus only the mouthful in front of you, and all your anxiety, fear, and
overwhelm about the rest will gradually fade”.

Phubbing was first coined as a term im May 2012. An Australian advertising agency created this word to
describe the growing of phenomenon of people ignoring their friends and family who were right in front of them and
instead of scrolling through their phones.
One study found that more than 17 percent of people phub others at least four hour times a day. Almost 32
percent of people report being phubbed two to three times a day. While the behaviour might not seem like a big
deal, research suggests phubbing may be hurting your relationships and your mental health. Read on to learn
more.
Phubbing interupts your ability to be present and engage with people around you. Today, almost all people
own a smartphone, so the phubbing problem may be getting worse.
Besides that, the effect of phubbing may be worse on people who found themselves at the receiving end of
the phubbing. When someone phubs you, you may feel rejected, excluded, and not important. That can have a
significant impact on mental health.
Research also shows that people who are phubbed are more likely to reach for their phones and try to
engage with their social media network to fill that void. This is the start of a vicious cycle.
Above all, phubbing is a learned behaviour. It only reecently becomes a problem and you can unlearn it. It
will take time and some work, but your mental health and your relationship will thank you for it.
(Adopted from: https//www.healthline.com/health/phubbing#takeaaway/7th November 2019)

Dear Irene
It is good to know that you’re doing well. Thanks for sharing the story your last time in Norway. I found it
really impressive. I’m glad you had a good time. Your story made me want to add that country to my bucket list.
As we’re on the topic of vacations, I also wanted to share about how I ended up going to Italy. I told you
earlier this year that I was going to visit my grandparents in Scotland just like any other year. However, it turned out
that my grangparents were going on trip with their friends from the senior community. Therefore I cancelled my trip
at the last minute. Before the trip, I already freed up my schedule, as I did not just want to stay in London alone. I
thought it would be fun to visit Italy as I had never been there before. I arranged everything in a hurry and made it to
Italy at last.
The first place on my list was none other than The Learning Tower of Pisa. I know it is common tourist
place, but I’ve always wanted to see it for myself. It was indeed fascinating how the tower was actually learning. I
walked around the complex and took a lot of pictures before I headed to another place. I spent two days in Rome
and Milan. Then I travelled quite far from the city, to the Northeastern part of the country. Venice was so much
beautiful than I expected. All the canals and the bridges looked like something from a painting. The views were
marvellous and breath-taking. I also took a gondola ride which would actually have been so much better If I were
not alone. I cannot wait to come back and bring you with me.
Well, that’s all for now. I hope you’re having a wonderful day!
Love,
Sonia

Weather is the physical condition of the atmosphere at a particular time. It includes temperature, air
pressure and water content.
Weather is produced when the air moves from place to place. This moving air is known as wind. Winds are
caused by warm air rising and cooler air moving to replace it. Warm air is usually less dense than cool air;
therefore, it creates low air pressure. Cool air is denser and creates high air pressure.
Usually we have fine weather when the air is high, and we will have clouds, rain, or snow when air pressure
drops.
37. What is the purpose of the text?

A. To retell about the weather.
B. To explain the process of the formation of weather

Solar Eclipse
Have you ever seen a solar eclipse? It is a natural phenomenon that happens when the moon passes in front of
the Sun and blocks it completely. When you look up into the sky at the Sun and the Moon , you will notice a strange
coincidence that can make you feel curious because they both look like the same size in the sky and you will see really
beatiful sight.
An eclipse occurs at the times when the Moon moves into a position of direct alignment with the Sun and the
Eart. There are three types of solar eclipses; a total solar eclipse, a partial solar eclipse, and an annular solar eclipse.
A total solar eclipse occurs when the new moon passes direcly between the Sun and the Eart. The moon’s
complete shadow ( the umbra ) sweeps across the narrow path of totality on the Earth. Daytime briefly turns into total
darkness, and during these few precious minutes the halo of the Sun- the corona – comes into view as the dark disk of
the Moon totally obscures the bright Sun. Outside the path of totally, in the Moon’s partial shadow ( the penumbra ),
some portion of the Sun’s bright disk remain visible.
A partial solar eclipse also occurs when the Moon passes directly between the Sun and the Earth. However ,
only the penumbra touches our planet. The umbra passes either just above the North Pole or just below the South
Pole, completely missing the Earth. N total eclipse is visible—only partial phases can be seen.
An annular solareclipse occurs when the Moon’s umbra passesacross the Earth, but it doesn’t take a long time
to reach the surface; the shadow come diminishes to point before reaching the Earth. This effect happens when the
Moon is farther out in its orbit around the Earth. The moon appears slightly smaller and is not completely large enough
to cover the Sun. When the Moon, is centered over the Sun , a ring of sunlight remains visible around the edge.
Because the Sun is not completely covered by the Moon, the rare and dramatic effects of a total solar eclipse are not
present at either annular or partial eclipses of the Sun.
It is quite remarkable that a solar eclipse can occur because the Sun and the Moon appear from Earth to be
about the same size in the sky. The Sun, whose diameter is 400 times larger than the Moon, is about 400 times as far
away from the Earth. This condition permits the Moon to cover up the Sun. In fact, if the Moon’s diameter ( 2,160 miles
) was just 140 milesless. It would not be large enough to completely cover the Sun.
40. What does the text mainly talk about ?

A. The conditions when solar eclipses happen.
B. Several ways to see solar eclipse.
C. A research on solar eclipses.
D. How solar eclipses happen.
E. The time when solar eclipses happen.

Disasters in Java Caused by Poor Spatial Planning

TEMPO.CO, Semarang - The Indonesian Forum for the Environment (Walhi) assessed that disasters
occurring on Java Island were attributable to poor spatial planning. Consequently, Java contributed to the
highest number of catastrophies in the archipelago.
Many areas on the island that should be water catchment areas have changed functions. “There is
a function shift of protected areas to commercial use, whether for industry, offices, educational centers, or
others. We call it spatial planning mismanagement,” said Walhi’s campaigner Abdul Ghofar in Semarang,
Monday, January 23, 2023.
He noted that in the last four years, Java has become the epicenter of disasters in the country. In
2019, 2,351 disasters occurred, or 61 percent of the total national disasters. In 2020, there were 2,368
disasters, or 50.9 percent of the national disasters. In 2021, there were 2,511 disasters or 46.3 percent of
the national disasters. In 2022, there were 1,839 disasters, or 51.8 percent of the national disasters.
“There are three provinces which over the past four years have become the three top biggest
contributors to disasters in Indonesia. They are West Java, Central Java, and East Java,” he said.
The massive conversion of land functions in Java has also been triggered by a large number of
developments, both by government and private parties, including the national strategic project (PSN). “Java
Island has 83 PSN, or 33 percent of the total PSN, with an investment value of Rp1,923 trillion,” Abdul
disclosed.
The high number of infrastructure development is also eased by licensing without adequate
environmental standards. After the Government Regulation in Lieu of Law or Perpu on Job Creation Perpu
and the Environment Minister’s Regulation on the exception of the environmental impact analysis (Amdal)
obligation were issued, the licensing process for spatial planning was relaxed.
Meanwhile, no big cities in Java have fulfilled the obligation of green open spaces. “None of the big
cities in Java have fulfilled the spatial planning law, namely 30 percent areas allocated for green open
spaces,” Abdul underlined.
Walhi Central Java Executive Director Fahmi Bastian cited an example of mismanagement of
spatial planning in Semarang. According to him, disasters often occurred in the city because the upper area
which should function as a water catchment have turned into industrial and residential areas.
58. What caused the disasters in Java?

A. Bad spatial management
B. The change of land function
C. Lack of green areas
D. Large number of development
E. Lack of water catchment

An Alliance Could Answer The Growing Threat from Google and Facebook By Evelyn M.RuIsi and Nick Bilton
Apple, which has stumbled in its efforts to get into social media, has talked with Twitter in recent months about
making a strategic investment in it, according to people briefed on the matter.
Although apple has been hugely successful in selling phones and tablets, it has little traction in social networking,
which has become a major engine of activity on the Web and on mobile devices. Social media are increasingly
influencing the ways people spend their time and money — important consideration for Apple, which also sells
application, games, music and movies.
Apple has considered an investment in the hundreds of millions of dollars, one that could value Twitter at more than
$10 billion, up from an $8.4 billion valuation last year, these people said. They declined to be identified because the
discussions were private.
There is no guarantee that the two companies, which are not in negotiations at the moment, will come to an
agreement. But the earlier talks are a sign that they may form a stronger partnership amid intensifying competition
from companies like Google and Facebook.
Apple has not made many friends in social mediA. Its relationship with Facebook, for example, has been strained
since a deal to build Facebook featured into Ping, Apple’s music-centric social network, fell apart. Facebook is also
aligned with Microsoft, which owns a small stake in it. And Google, an Apple rival in the phone market, has been
pushing its own social network, Google Plus.
63. What is the news about?

A. Social networking.
B. Apple’s new products.
C. Twitter strategic investment.
D. Twitters success in social media.
E. Apple’s plan to cooperate with Twitter.

Cross the greatest oceans and
Walk across the water, the water
You feel defeated, falling on your knees, and

Looking up for some hope tonight
You try to stand up
But you throw your hands up
Like you no longer have the strength to fight

'Cause you've seen too many sunsets
Too many days ending in the darkest night
But, on your own, you'll never know
You'll never know
They say that all you need is faith

But it's almost like you lost your way
Took a few wrong turns, took a few breaks
Falling behind now, looking for grace
'Cause you need someone to lift you up

Yeah, make right all the things you done

You'll never know
