A Woman and the Wolves

A long time ago, very few people lived in the New Territories. There were only a few villages. If the
people wanted to go from one village to another, they often had to pass through wild and unsafe forest.

One day, a farmer’s young wife went to the next village to visit her own mother and brother. She
brought along her baby son. When it was time for her to leave, her brother said “ it is getting dark. Let
my son, Ah Tim go with you though the forest.”

So Ah Tim led the way and the young woman followed behind, carrying her baby. When they were in the
forest, suddenly they saw a group of wolves. They began to run to avoid the danger, but Ah Tim kicked
against a stone and fell down. At once the wolves caught him. The young woman cried to the wolves, “
please eat my own son instead.” Then, she put her baby son on the ground in front of the wolves and
took her nephew away.

Everyone understood that this was because the woman was very good and kind. She had offered her
own son’s life to save her nephew.

They ran back to the house and called for help. All men in the village fetched thick sticks and went back

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.

4. 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.

5. According to the news, Apple has not been very successful in ....

A. selling phones

B. strategic investment

C. cooperating with Twitter

D. getting into social media

E. selling game applications

6. "But the earlier talks are sign that they may form a stronger partnership".

The underlined word means ....

A. collusion

B. competition

C. agreement

D. negotiation

E. collaboration

Teks Explanation 1

Recycling is a collection, processing, and reuse of materials that would otherwise be thrown away.
Materials ranging from precious metals to broken glass, from old newspapers to plastic spoons, can be
recycled. The recycling process reclaims the original material and uses it in new products.

In general, using recycled materials to make new products costs less and requires less energy than using
new materials. Recycling can also reduce pollution, either by reducing the demand for high-pollution
alternatives or by minimizing the amount of pollution produced during the manufacturing process.

Paper products that can be recycled include cardboard containers, wrapping paper, and office paper.
The most commonly recycled paper product is newsprint. In newspaper recycling, old newspapers are
collected and searched for contaminants such as plastic bags and aluminum foil. The paper goes to a
processing plant where it is mixed with hot water and turned into pulp in a machine that works much
like a big kitchen blender. The pulp is screened and filtered to remove smaller contaminants. The pulp
then goes to a large vat where the ink separates from the paper fibers and fl oats to the surface. The ink
is skimmed off, dried and reused as ink or burned as boiler fuel. The cleaned pulp is mixed with new
wood fibers to be made into paper again.

Experts estimate the average office worker generates about 5 kg of wastepaper per month. Every ton of
paper that is recycled saves about 1.4 cu m (about 50 cu ft) of landfill space. One ton of recycled paper
saves 17 pulpwood trees (trees used to produce paper).

Daur ulang adalah pengumpulan, pemrosesan, dan penggunaan ulang bahan yang seharusnya dibuang.
Bahan mulai dari logam mulia hingga pecahan kaca, dari koran bekas hingga sendok plastik, dapat didaur

Secara umum, menggunakan bahan daur ulang untuk membuat produk baru lebih murah dan
membutuhkan lebih sedikit energi daripada menggunakan bahan baru. Daur ulang juga dapat
mengurangi polusi, baik dengan mengurangi permintaan untuk alternatif polusi tinggi atau dengan
meminimalkan jumlah polusi yang dihasilkan selama proses manufaktur.

Produk kertas yang dapat didaur ulang termasuk wadah karton, kertas kado, dan kertas kantor. Produk
kertas yang paling sering didaur ulang adalah kertas koran. Dalam daur ulang koran, koran bekas

Teks Explanation 2

Human body is made up of countless millions of cells. Food is needed to built up new cells and replace
the worn out cells. However, the food that we take must be changed into substances that can be carried
in the blood to the places where they are needed. This process is called digestion.

The first digestive process takes place in the mouth. The food we eat is broken up into small pieces by
the action of teeth, mixed with saliva, a juice secreted by glands in the mouth. Saliva contains digestive
juice which moisten the food, so it can be swallowed easily.

From the mouth, food passes through the esophagus (the food passage) into the stomach. Here, the
food is mixed with the juices secreted by the cells in the stomach for several hours. Then the food enters
the small intestine. All the time the muscular walls of the intestine are squeezing, mixing and moving the
food onwards.
In a few hours, the food changes into acids. These are soon absorbed by the villi (microscopic branch
projections from the intestine walls) and passed into the bloodstream.

Artinya

Tubuh manusia terdiri dari jutaan sel yang tak terhitung jumlahnya. Makanan dibutuhkan untuk
membangun sel-sel baru dan menggantikan sel yang sudah usang. Namun, makanan yang kita ambil
harus diubah menjadi zat yang dapat dibawa dalam darah ke tempat-tempat di mana mereka
dibutuhkan. Proses ini disebut pencernaan.

Proses pencernaan pertama terjadi di mulut. Makanan yang kita makan dipecah menjadi potongan-
potongan kecil oleh aksi gigi, dicampur dengan air liur, jus yang dikeluarkan oleh kelenjar di mulut. Air
liur mengandung jus pencernaan yang melembabkan makanan, sehingga dapat ditelan dengan mudah.

Dari mulut, makanan melewati esophagus (bagian makanan) ke dalam perut. Di sini, makanan dicampur
dengan jus yang disekresikan oleh sel-sel di lambung selama beberapa jam. Kemudian makanan
memasuki usus kecil. Sepanjang waktu dinding otot usus meremas, mencampur dan menggerakkan
makanan ke depan.

Dalam beberapa jam, makanan berubah menjadi asam. Ini segera diserap oleh vili (proyeksi cabang
mikroskopis dari dinding usus) dan masuk ke ali

ran darah.

Teks Explanation 3

Have you ever wondered how people get chocolate from? In this article we’ll enter the amazing world of
chocolate so you can understand exactly what you’re eating.

Chocolate starts with a tree called the cacao tree. This tree grows in equatorial regions, especially in
places such as South America, Africa, and Indonesia. The cacao tree produces a fruit about the size of a
small pine apple. Inside the fruit are the tree’s seeds, also known as cocoa beans.

The beans are fermented for about a week, dried in the sun and then shipped to the chocolate maker.
The chocolate maker starts by roasting the beans to bring out the flavour. Different beans from different
places have different qualities and flavor, so they are often sorted and blended to produce a distinctive
mix. Next, the roasted beans are winnowed. Winnowing removes the meat nib of the cacao bean from
its shell. Then, the nibs are blended. The blended nibs are ground to make it a liquid. The liquid is called
chocolate liquor. It tastes bitter. All seeds contain some amount of fat, and cacao beans are not
different. However, cacao beans are half fat, which is why the ground nibs form liquid. It’s pure bitter
chocolate.

Artinya

Pernahkah Anda bertanya-tanya bagaimana orang mendapatkan cokelat? Dalam artikel ini kita akan
memasuki dunia cokelat yang luar biasa sehingga Anda dapat memahami apa yang Anda makan.

Cokelat dimulai dengan sebatang pohon yang disebut pohon kakao. Pohon ini tumbuh di daerah
khatulistiwa, terutama di tempat-tempat seperti Amerika Selatan, Afrika, dan Indonesia. Pohon kakao
menghasilkan buah seukuran buah pinus kecil. Di dalam buah adalah biji pohon, juga dikenal sebagai biji
kakao.

Kacang difermentasi selama sekitar satu minggu, dikeringkan di bawah sinar matahari dan kemudian
dikirim ke pembuat cokelat. Pembuat cokelat dimulai dengan memanggang kacang untuk mengeluarkan
rasa. Biji yang berbeda dari tempat yang berbeda memiliki kualitas dan rasa yang berbeda, sehingga
mereka sering disortir dan dicampur untuk menghasilkan campuran yang khas. Selanjutnya, biji
panggang sudah ditampi. Memenangkan menghilangkan nib daging biji kakao dari cangkangnya.
Kemudian, nibs diblender. Nibs dicampur tanah untuk membuatnya cair. Cairan ini disebut minuman
coklat. Rasanya pahit. Semua biji mengandung sejumlah lemak, dan biji kakao tidak berbeda. Namun, biji
kakao setengah gemuk, itulah mengapa biji tanah membentuk cairan. Ini coklat pahit murni.

What is photosynthesis? Photosynthesis is a food-making process that occurs in green plants. It is the
chief function of leaves. The word photosynthesis means putting together with light. Green plants use
energy from light to combine carbon dioxide and water to make sugar and other chemical compounds.

How is the light used in photosynthesis?

The light used in photosynthesis is absorbed by a green pigment called chlorophyll. Each food-making
cell in a plant leaf contains chlorophyll in small bodies called chloroplasts. In chloroplast, light energy
causes water drawn form the soil to split into hydrogen and oxygen.

What are the steps of photosynthesis process? Let me tell you the process of photosynthesis, in a series
of complicated steps, the hydrogen combines with carbon dioxide from the air, forming a simple sugar.
Oxygen from the water molecules is given off in the process. From sugar together with nitrogen,
sulphur, and phosporus from the soil-green plants can make starch, fat, protein, vitamins, and other
complex compounds essential for life. Photosynthesis provides the chemical energy that is needed to
produced these compounds.

Artinya

Apa itu fotosintesis? Fotosintesis adalah proses pembuatan makanan yang terjadi pada tanaman hijau.
Ini adalah fungsi utama dari daun. Kata fotosintesis berarti menyatu dengan cahaya. Tanaman hijau
menggunakan energi dari cahaya untuk menggabungkan karbon dioksida dan air untuk membuat gula
dan senyawa kimia lainnya.

Bagaimana cahaya yang digunakan dalam fotosintesis?

Cahaya yang digunakan dalam fotosintesis diserap oleh pigmen hijau yang disebut klorofil. Setiap sel
pembuatan makanan di daun tanaman mengandung klorofil dalam tubuh kecil yang disebut kloroplas.
Dalam kloroplas, energi cahaya menyebabkan air yang diambil membentuk tanah untuk terpecah
menjadi hidrogen dan oksigen.

Apa langkah-langkah proses fotosintesis? Biarkan saya memberi tahu Anda proses fotosintesis, dalam
serangkaian langkah rumit, hidrogen bergabung dengan karbon dioksida dari udara, membentuk gula
sederhana. Oksigen dari molekul air dilepaskan dalam proses. Dari gula bersama dengan nitrogen,
sulfur, dan fosforus dari tanaman hijau-tanah dapat membuat pati, lemak, protein, vitamin, dan
senyawa kompleks lainnya penting untuk kehidupan. Fotosintesis menyediakan energi kimia yang
diperlukan untuk menghasilkan senyawa-senyawa ini.

13. What step after the hydrogen combines with carbon dioxide from the air …

A. Photosynthesis provides the chemical energy that is needed to produced these compounds.

B. Water drawn form the soil to split into hydrogen and oxygen.

C. Food-making process that occurs in green plants.

Teks Explanation 5

Biodiesel is a clean burning substitute for petroleum based diesel fuel. Biodiesel is made of vegetable oil.

To make or manufacture Biodiesel, you must first start with raw materials. The raw materials needed in
the production of Biodiesel are a small amount of methanol and a ready supply of vegetable product.
One of the most common vegetables used in the production of Biodiesel is corn, although depending on
the geographic location of the manufacturing facility many other plants are used as well (rapeseed,
soybeans, flaxseed, etc.). The first step is to use the raw vegetable product to make vegetable oil.
Vegetable oil by itself will not be what you need to power a car, from here it has to be processed into
Biodiesel.

The process for converting vegetable oil into Biodiesel is sometimes called ester interchange. To
complete this process the vegetable oil has to be combined with a smaller amount of methanol and then
put in the presence of a small quantity of an alkaline catalyst (for example, 5% to 1% sodium hydroxide).
Vegetable oil is made up of so-called triglycerides, which is a compound of the trivalent alcohol glycerin
with three fatty acids. The goal of ester interchange is to separate the glycerin molecule from the three
fatty acids and replace it with three methanol molecules. This process then yields roughly 90% Biodiesel
and 10% of a glycerin byproduct. The glycerin byproduct can be used in a number of other chemical
processes for different industries.

Artinya

Biodiesel adalah pengganti pembakaran bersih untuk bahan bakar diesel berbasis minyak bumi.
Biodiesel terbuat dari minyak nabati.

Untuk membuat atau memproduksi Biodiesel, Anda harus terlebih dahulu mulai dengan bahan baku.
Bahan baku yang dibutuhkan dalam produksi Biodiesel adalah sejumlah kecil metanol dan pasokan
produk sayuran siap pakai. Salah satu sayuran yang paling umum digunakan dalam produksi Biodiesel
adalah jagung, meskipun tergantung pada lokasi geografis fasilitas manufaktur banyak tanaman lain
yang digunakan juga (rapeseed, kedelai, biji rami, dll). Langkah pertama adalah menggunakan produk
nabati mentah untuk membuat minyak nabati. Minyak sayur dengan sendirinya tidak akan menjadi apa
yang Anda butuhkan untuk menyalakan mobil, dari sini ia harus diolah menjadi Biodiesel.

Proses untuk mengubah minyak nabati menjadi Biodiesel kadang-kadang disebut ester interchange.
Untuk menyelesaikan proses ini minyak nabati harus dikombinasikan dengan jumlah metanol yang lebih
sedikit dan kemudian dimasukkan ke dalam sejumlah kecil katalis alkalin (misalnya, 5% sampai 1%
natrium hidroksida). Minyak nabati terdiri dari apa yang disebut trigliserida, yang merupakan senyawa
dari alkohol gliserin trivalen dengan tiga asam lemak. Tujuan pertukaran ester adalah memisahkan
molekul gliserin dari tiga asam lemak dan menggantinya dengan tiga molekul metanol. Proses ini
kemudian menghasilkan sekitar 90% Biodiesel dan 10% dari produk sampingan gliserin. Produk
sampingan gliserin dapat digunakan dalam sejumlah proses kimia lainnya untuk industri yang berbeda.

shelves and dispose of it.
