Dear Leonard,

I would like to express my sincere condolences on the recent passing of your father. Pamela and the

children also send their thoughts and prayers to you and your family at this difficult time.

Although I didn't know your dad that well, on the half dozen or so occasions that I spent time in his

company over the years, I did come to realize his great kindness and compassion towards those less

fortunate than him. And I do know that he was very highly respected throughout this community

and profession, and his good works changed the lives of many.

You were truly fortunate to have such a man as a model in your life.

As you know, it was not that long ago that my own father passed away, so I have some idea of what

you and your family are going through. I realize that no words of comfort are quite enough to

replace the loss.

Yours in sympathy,

Gord Henderson

The Legend of Rawa Pening

Once upon a time, there was a little poor boy came into a little village. He was very hungry and

weak. He knocked at every door and asked for some food, but nobody cared about him. Nobody

wanted to help the little boy.

Finally, a generous woman helped him. She gave him shelter and a meal. When the boy wanted to

leave, this old woman gave him a “lesung”, a big wooden mortar for pounding rice. She reminded

him, “please remember, if there is a flood you must save yourself. Use this “lesung” as a boat”. The

boy was happy and thanked the old woman.The little boy continued his journey. While he was

passing through the village, he saw many people gathering on the field. The boy came closer and

saw a stick stuck in the ground. People challenged each other to pull out that stick. Everybody tried,

but nobody succeeded. “Can I try?” asked the little boy. The crowd laughed mockingly. The boy

wanted to try his luck so he stepped forward and pulled out the stick. He could do it very easily.

Everybody was dumbfounded.

Suddenly, from the hole left by stick, water spouted out. It did not stop until it flooded the village.

And no one was saved from the water except the little boy and the generous old woman who gave

him shelter and meal. As she told him, he used the “lesung” as a boat and picked up the old woman.

The whole village became a huge lake. It is now known as Rawa Pening Lake in Salatiga, Central

Battle of Surabaya

The Battle of Surabaya was fought between pro-independence Indonesian soldiers and militia

against British and British Indian troops as a part of the Indonesian National Revolution.

The peak of the battle was in November 1945. The battle was the heaviest single battle of the

revolution and became a national symbol of Indonesian resistance. Fighting broke out on 30

October after the British commander, Brigadier A. W. S. Mallaby was killed in a skirmish.

Although the Colonial forces largely captured the city in three days, the poorly armed Republicans

fought for three weeks, and thousands died as the population fled to the countryside.

The battle and defence mounted by the Indonesians galvanised the nation in support of

independence and helped garner international attention. For the Dutch, it removed any doubt that

the Republic was not simply a gang of collaborators without popular support. It also had the effect

of convincing Britain that wisdom lay on the side of neutrality in the revolution; within a few years,

in fact, Britain would support the Republican cause in the United Nations.

Considered a heroic effort by Indonesians, the battle helped galvanise Indonesian and international

support for Indonesian independence. 10 November is celebrated annually as Heroes‟ Day.

This text is for questions 23 to 26.

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.

structure in France after the 2004 Millau Viaduct.

The tower has three levels for visitors. Tickets can be purchased to ascend, by stairs or lift, to the


first and second levels. The walk to the first level is over 300 steps, as is the walk from the first to

Recycling is important in today‟s world if we want to leave this planet for our future

generations. It is good for the environment, since we are making new products from the old

products which are of no use to us. There are many reasons why it‟s important to recycle as

much as possible.

Making new products out of recycled materials reduces the need to consume

precious resources. So recycling helps protect raw materials and protect natural habitats for

the future.

Using recycling materials in the manufacturing process uses considerably less


energy than that required for producing new products from raw materials.

Recycling reduces the need for extracting (mining, quarrying and logging), refining

and processing raw materials all of which create substantial air and water pollution. As

recycling saves energy, it also reduces greenhouse gas emissions, which helps to tackle

climate change.

There are over 1,500 landfill sites in the UK and, in 2001, these sites produced a

quarter of the UK‟s emissions of methane, a powerful greenhouse gas that is released as the

biodegradable waste (such as food and paper) decomposes. Existing landfill sites are filling

up fast and there is very limited space for new ones.

A massive reduction in the amount of waste we send to landfill is required if we are

to avoid the heavy fines and the landfill taxes that are being imposed by Central

Government on councils that exceed their landfill allowances. Increases in your Council

Tax or service cuts in other areas would be the only way of paying these penalties.

31. What does the text highlight?

A. Reasons to recycle.

B. Conserving the energy.

C. Protecting the environment.

D. Environmental construction.

E. Saving money through recycling.

32. We know from the text that ... if we recycle.

A. landfill sites will decrease

B. climate change will continue

C. more new products will be reduced

D. natural habitats will never be affected

E. air and water pollution will never be affected

33. ”Recycling reduces the need for extracting (mining, quarrying and logging), refining and

processing raw materials all of which create substantial air and water pollution.”

Based on this quote, we conclude that the writer is telling us that ….

A. recycling saves us money

B. recycling reduce landfill

C. recycling saves energy

D. recycling conserves raw materials

E. recycling helps protects the environment

34. Recycling reduces the need for extracting ... it reduces pollution.

A. because

and in order to avoid being arrested,” Jimenez said in a letter reproduced on the websites of

newspapers El Pais and El Mundo.

Trillo-Figueroa said Jimenez, who robbed the banks disguised in a false beard and a wig, thinks of

The phenomenon of rain is actually a water circle. The concept of water circle includes the sun

heating the Earth‟s water surface and causing the water surface to evaporate. Earth‟s water includes

water from lake, river, and ocean. Then, the water vapor experiences condensation and becomes

condensed vapor. Condensed vapor is formed from droplets so that when the air temperature is

higher, it makes the droplets gather, condensed and formed into clouds. The presence of winds

helps clouds move and gather in other places that have lower temperatures. At that time, the

droplets become heavier and unstoppable and cause the droplets to fall so that there is rain.

If the droplets drop in an area with very cold temperatures, the droplets will drop as snow.

However, not all rain reaches the surface. Some evaporates while falling through dry air. This is

called Virga, a phenomenon which is often seen in hot, dry desert regions.


39. What happens after the water evaporate? It will become ….

A. condensed vapor

B. droplets

C. clouds
