3. 1. Cats also called the domestic cat or house cat (with its scientific name: * 1 poin

Felis silvestris catus or Felis catus) is a type of carnivorous mammal of the


family Felidae. The word “cat” generally refers to a “cat” that has been
tamed, but can also refer to the “big cats” such as lions and tigers.

Cats are considered as “perfect carnivore” with teeth and particular


digestive tract. The first premolar and molar teeth form a pair of fangs on
each side of the mouth that works effectively as a pair of scissors to tear
the meat. Although these features also exist in the Canidae or dog, but
these traits are better developed in cats.

Unlike other carnivores, cats eat almost non vegetable substance. Bears
and dogs sometimes eat berries, roots, or honey as a supplement, while
cats only eat meat, usually freshly killed prey. In captivity, cats cannot
adapt to a vegetarian diet because they cannot synthesize all the amino
acids from plant material; it is in contrast with domesticated dogs, which
commonly are fed a mixture of meat and vegetables and sometimes they
can adapt to a completely vegetarian meal.

Cats have mingled with human life since at least 6000 BC, from the
skeleton of the cat found on the island of Cyprus. The ancient Egyptians of
3500 BC have used cats to keep away the rats or other rodents from the
barn where the crops were saved.Currently, the cat is one of the most
popular pets in the world. Cats that his lines are recorded officially as a cat
breeds or pure breed are Persian, Siamese, Manx, and the Sphinx. These
kinds of cat are usually bred in official captivity animal. The number of
purebred cat is only 1% of all cats in the world; the rest is a cat with mixed
ancestry such as wild cats or domestic cats.

5. 3. The Burj Khalifa (or how it was called until 2010, Burj Dubai) opened on * 1 poin
January 14th, 2010. Even before the building construction was finished,
starting from 2007, it had become the highest skyscraper in the world. Its
exact height is 2,722 feet, or 829,8 meters, and it obviously can be seen
from any point in Dubai. The number of floors, however, is a bit fewer than
some might expects: Burj Khalifa totals in 163 floors, which is 16’2” (about
5 meters) for each floor.

Burj Khalifa looks like a stalagmite, which means it resembles vertical


minerals growing from cave floors. Stalagmites usually have a shape of a
cone, and so does Burj Khalifa; if you look at it from a distance, it will
remind you of a gigantic sharp cone made of glass and steel.

The most impressive aspect about Burj Khalifa is that it had been planned
to be a “city within the city”; this means inside the tower, you can find
parks, alleys, districts, fountains, and so on. The glass of the tower’s
surface always shines, because it is washed every single day, and the
make of concrete of which the tower was built from was invented
specifically for Burj Khalifa. There are three entrances to the tower,
because it is so huge that one or two would not be enough. At the foot of
the skyscraper, there is a big artificial lake that measures up to 12
hectares.

Inside, the building is as magnificent as it is from the outside. The interiors


were projected by famous designers—for example, the interior of the
Armani hotel, located on the floors from first to 39th, was designed by
Giorgio Armani himself. The air inside Burj Khalifa is conditioned and
flavored—it is said that the flavor was also designed exclusively for the
tower; 57 elevators work 24 hours each day to transport visitors between
floors.

forced to look to other bodies in the solar system for hints as to what the
early history of the Earth was like. Studies of our moon, Mercury, Mars,and
the large satellites of Jupiter and Saturn have provided ample evidence
that all these large celestial bodies had formed. This same bombardment
must have affected Earth as well. The lunar record indicates that the rate
of impacts decreased to its present low level about 4 billion years ago. On
Earth, subsequent erosion and crustal motions have obliterated the craters
that must have formed during this epoch.

Scientists estimate the Earth’s age by measuring the ratios of various


radioactive elements in rocks. The oldest Earth’s rocks tested thus far are
about 3 1/3 billion years old. But no one knows whether these are the
oldest rocks on Earth. Tests on rocks form the moon and on meteorites
show that these are about 4.6 billion years old. Scientists believe that this

9. 7. Long, long ago, when the gods and goddesses used to mingle in the * 1 poin

affairs of mortals, there was a small kingdom on the slope of Mount


Wayang in West Java. The King, named Sang Prabu, was a wise man. He
had an only daughter, called Princess Teja Nirmala, who was famous for
her beauty but she was not married. One day Sang Prabu made up his
mind to settle the matter by a show of strength.

After that, Prince of Blambangan, named Raden Begawan had won the
competition. Unfortunately, the wicked fairy, Princess Segara fell in love
with Raden Begawan and used magic power to render him unconscious
and he forgot his wedding. When Sang Prabu was searching, Raden
Begawan saw him and soon realized that he had been enchanted by the
wicked fairy. The fairy could not accept this, so she killed Raden Begawan.
When Princess Teja Nirmala heard this, she was very sad. So a nice fairy
took her to the Kahyangan.

12. 10. A Career is an individual’s journey through learning, work and other * 1 poin

aspects of life. There are a number of ways to define a career and the
term is used in a variety of ways. Everybody who have career exactly want
to advance their career.

If you want to advance your career, you will have to make some careful
decisions about which jobs you take. Consider a job offered for the value
it has to your career. It may mean sacrifices at first. You may have to
move to a different region or country to get a job that is right for you. You
may have to work late hours, at least temporarily. You might even have to
take a lower salary for a job that offers you the experience that you need.
But you should never accept a job if it is not related to your career goals.

Accepting a job that is not within your career path will not give you the
skill or experience you need or want. You will find yourself frustrated in
such a position and consequently will not perform your best. This will
have an effect on the people around you, who will not feel as if you are
being part of the team. The best advice is to think carefully before
accepting any position and make sure that the job is one you to have.

aeroplanes vanishing in mid flight. One of the more famous of these was
the disappearance in 1937 of a pioneer woman aviator, Amelia Earhart.
On the second last stage of an attempted round the world flight, she had
radioed her position as she and her navigator searched desperately for
their destination, a tiny island in the Pacific.

The plane never arrived at Howland Island. Did it crash and sink after
running out of fuel? It had been a long haul from New Guinea, a twenty
hour flight covering some four thousand kilometres. Did Earhart have
enough fuel to set down on some other island on her radioed course? Or
did she end up somewhere else altogether? One fanciful theory had her
being captured by the Japanese in the Marshall Islands and later
executed as an American spy; another had her living out her days under
an assumed name as a housewife in New Jersey. Seventy years after
Earhart's disappearance, 'myth busters' continue to search for her. She
was the best- known American woman pilot in the world. People were
tracking her flight with great interest when, suddenly, she vanished into
thin air. Aircraft had developed rapidly in sophistication after World War
One, with the 1920 s and 1930 s marked by an aeronautical record-setting
frenzy. Conquest of the air had become a global obsession. While Earhart
was making headlines with her solo flights, other aviators like high-
altitude pioneer Wiley Post and industrialist Howard Hughes were
grabbing some glory of their own. But only Earhart, the reserved tomboy
from Kansas who disappeared three weeks shy of her 40 th birthday, still
grips the public imagination. Her disappearance has been the subject of
at least fifty books, countless magazine and newspaper articles, and TV
documentaries. It is seen by journalists as the last great American
mystery. There are currently two main theories about Amelia Earhart's
fate.

There were reports of distress calls from the Phoenix Islands made on
Earhart's radio frequency for days after she vanished. Some say the plane
could have broadcast only if it were on land, not in the water.

The Coast Guard and later the Navy, believing the distress calls were real,
adjusted their searches, and newspapers at the time reported Earhart and
her navigator were marooned on an island. No-one was able to trace the
calls at the time, so whether Earhart was on land in the Phoenix Islands or
there was a hoaxer in the Phoenix Islands using her radio remains a
mystery. Others dismiss the radio calls as bogus and insist Earhart and
her navigator ditched in the water. An Earhart researcher, Elgen Long,
claims that Earhart's airplane ran out of gas within fifty-two miles of the
island and is sitting somewhere in a 6,000- square-mile area, at a depth of
17,000 feet. At that depth, the fuselage would still be in shiny, pristine
condition if ever anyone were able to locate it. It would not even be
covered in a layer of silt. Those who subscribe to this explanation claim
that fuel calculations, radio calls and other considerations all show that
the plane plunged into the sea somewhere off Howland Island.

Whatever the explanation, the prospect of finding the remains is


unsettling to many. To recover skeletal remains or personal effects would
be a grisly experience and an intrusion. They want to know where Amelia
Earhart is, but that's as far as they would like to go. As one investigator
has put it, "I'm convinced that the mystery is part of what keeps us
interested. In part, we remember her because she's our favourite missing
person."

difficult one, and even if a right is written into the law there is no
guarantee that the future will not bring changes to the law that
undermines the right. For this reason, the federal government of Canada
in 1982 extended constitutional protection to those aboriginal rights
already recognized under the law. This protection was extended to the
Indian, Inuit, and Métis peoples, the three groups generally thought to
comprise the aboriginal population in Canada. But this decision has
placed on provincial courts the enormous burden of interpreting and
translating the necessarily general constitutional language into specific
rulings. The result has been inconsistent recognition and establishment
of aboriginal rights, despite the continued efforts of aboriginal peoples to
raise issues concerning their rights.

Aboriginal rights in Canada are defined by the constitution as aboriginal


peoples’ rights to ownership of land and its resources, the inherent right
of aboriginal societies to self-government, and the right to legal
recognition of indigenous customs. But difficulties arise in applying these
broadly conceived rights. For example, while it might appear
straightforward to affirm legal recognition of indigenous customs, the
exact legal meaning of “indigenous” is extremely difficult to interpret. The

any customs they seek to protect were practiced sufficiently long ago—a
criterion defined in practice to mean prior to the establishment of British
sovereignty over the specific territory. However, this requirement makes it
difficult for aboriginal societies, which often relied on oral tradition rather
than written records, to support their claims.

Furthermore, even if aboriginal peoples are successful in convincing the


courts that specific rights should be recognized, it is frequently difficult to
determine exactly what these rights amount to. Consider aboriginal land
claims. Even when aboriginal ownership of specific lands is fully
established, there remains the problem of interpreting the meaning of
that “ownership.” In a 1984 case in Ontario, an aboriginal group claimed
that its property rights should be interpreted as full ownership in the
contemporary sense of private property, which allows for the sale of the
land or its resources. But the provincial court instead ruled that the law
had previously recognized only the aboriginal right to use the land and
therefore granted property rights so minimal as to allow only the bare
survival of the community. Here, the provincial court’s ruling was
excessively conservative in its assessment of the current law.

Regrettably, it appears that this group will not be successful unless it is


able to move its case from the provincial courts into the Supreme Court
of Canada, which will be, one hopes, more insistent upon a satisfactory
application of the constitutional reforms.

Aboriginal rights in Canada are defined by the constitution as aboriginal


peoples' rights to ownership of land and its resources, the inherent right
of aboriginal societies to selfgovernment, and the right to legal
recognition of indigenous customs. But difficulties arise in applying these
broadly conceived rights. For example, while it might appear
straightforward to affirm legal recognition of indigenous customs, the
exact legal meaning of "indigenous" is extremely difficult to interpret. The
intent of the constitutional protection is to recognize only long-standing
traditional customs, not those of recent origin; provincial courts therefore
require aboriginal peoples to provide legal documentation that any
customs they seek to protect were practiced sufficiently long ago-a
criterion defined in practice to mean prior to the establishment of British
sovereignty over the specific territory. However, this requirement makes it
difficult for aboriginal societies, which often relied on oral tradition rather
than written records, to support their clamis.

".... that any customs they seek to protect were

practiced sufficiently long ago."

In the second pharagraph, what does the word "they" refer to?

18. 16. Before the grass has thickened on the roadside verges and leaves * 1 poin

have started growing on the trees is a perfect time to look around and see
just how dirty Britain has become. The pavements are stained with
chewing gum that has been spat out and the gutters are full of discarded
fast food cartons. Years ago I remember travelling abroad

and being saddened by the plastic bags, discarded bottles and soiled
nappies at the edge of every road. Nowadays, Britain seems to look at
least as bad. What has gone wrong?

The problem is that the rubbish created by our increasingly mobile lives
lasts a lot longer than before. If it is not cleared up and properly thrown
away, it stays in the undergrowth for years; a semi- permanent reminder
of what a tatty little country we have now.

Firstly, it is estimated that 10 billion plastic bags have been given to


shoppers. These will take anything from 100 to 1,000 years to rot.
However, it is not as if there is no solution to this. A few years ago, the
Irish government introduced a tax on non- recyclable carrier bags and in
three months reduced their use by 90%. When he was a minister, Michael
Meacher attempted to introduce a similar arrangement in Britain. The
plastics industry protested, of course. However, they need not have
bothered; the idea was killed before it could draw breath, leaving
supermarkets free to give away plastic bags.

What is clearly necessary right now is some sort of combined initiative,


both individual and collective, before it is too late. The alternative is to
continue sliding downhill until we have a country that looks like a vast
municipal rubbish tip. We may well be at the tipping point. Yet we know
that people respond to their environment. If things around them are clean
and tidy, people behave cleanly and tidily. If they are surrounded by
squalor, they behave squalidly. Now, much of Britain looks pretty squalid.
What will it look like in five years?

20. 18. Siem Reap is a small town near the world famous temple of Angkor * 1 poin

Wat. The town is charming and worth exploring, with some fine examples
of Khmer and French colonial architecture set among the more modern
developments. Nowadays, visitors are flocking in, using it as a base for
visits to the nearby temples.
From the 9th to the 14th centuries, when Europe was still struggling out
of the Dark Ages, the Cambodian Empire of Angkor covered most of
present-day Cambodia, Laos, Vietnam, and Thailand. The heart of this
empire during the 12th century was the ancient capital of Angkor Thom,
near present day Siem Reap, the site of the world’s largest temple
complexes, which were rediscovered in 1861.This spectacular city was
built over 30 years under the reign of King Suryavarman II (1113-1150).
The area covers about 400 square kilometres and is full of the finest
examples of Khmer art and architecture. Tourists are always amazed at
the scale of the place.In Angkor Wat you will find more than 100 stone
monuments and temple buildings, each of which contains countless
statues, sculptures and reliefs that have weathered extremely little over
the last 800 years. To see the whole thing can take several days. The
most important temples to visit in the area are Angkor Wat, especially at
sunrise or sunset; Angkor Thom, the remains of the capital; Ta Prohm, a
palace overgrown by jungle; and Bayon.

Visas are required to enter Cambodia. You can obtain one on arrival at
Siem Reap International Airport for $20, and 1 passport photo is required
per person. You will also need another passport photo for the Angkor
Temple Entrance Pass. Please ensure you take comfortable walking
shoes, light clothing and plenty of water to drink as it is very hot there.
The most commonly accepted currency in Cambodia is the US dollar.
