Snakes are reptiles (cold-blooded creatures). They belong to the same group as
lizard (the scaled group, Squamata) but from a sub-group of their own (Serpentes).
Snakes have two legs but a long time ago they had claws to help them slither
along. Snakes are not slimy. They are covered in scales which are just bumps on the
skin. Their skin is hard and glossy to reduce friction as the snake slithers along the
ground.
Snakes often sun bathe on rock in the warm weather. This is because snake is
cold-blooded; they need the sun’s warmth to heat their bodies up.
Most snakes live in the country. Some types of snakes live in trees; some live in
water, but most live on the ground in deserted rabbit burrows, in thick, long grass,
and in old logs.
A snake’s diet usually consists of frogs, lizards, mice, and other snakes. The
anaconda can eat small crocodiles and even bears. Many snakes protect themselves
with their fangs. Some snakes are protected by scaring their enemies away like
Cobra. The flying snakes glide away from danger. Their ribs spread apart and the
skin stretches out. Its technique is just like the sugar gliders.

officials or disaster mitigation team chief, Alwi Shihab.
It was challenging to visit different refugee camps to find soft stories, human
interest stories. Then, I went back to the press center in between to cover the press
conferences of the day.

secondhand clothing, which they said were limited and inadequate. Emerging to a

against time, always fearing that the internet connection would come crashing down.
And after everything was done, only then I remembered to eat. Most times, I

Galileo Galilee (1564-1642) — Astronomer and Scientist. Galileo developed a

superior telescope and made many significant discoveries in astronomy. He was
sentenced to life imprisonment by the inquisition for his support for the Copernican
theory that the sun was at the center of the solar system. Galileo was born in
Florence, Italy in 1564 to a poor but noble family. His parents recognized their child’s
innate intelligence and talents and so made sacrifices to have him educated. At his
father’s insistence, Galileo studied the profitable career of medicine. But, at the
University of Pisa, Galileo became fascinated in a wide range of subjects. He was also
critical of many of Aristotle’s teaching which had dominated education for the past
2,000 years. Galileo was appointed to be a mathematics professor at the University
of Pisa, but his strident criticisms of Aristotle left him isolated among his

Once upon a time there was a poor widow who had an only son named Jack.
They were so poor that they didn't have anything except a cow. When the cow had
grown too old, his mother sent Jack to the market to sell it. On the way to the
market, Jack met a butcher who had some beautiful beans in his hand. The butcher
told the boy that the beans were of great value and persuaded the silly fad to sell
the cow for the beans.
Jack brought them happily. When he told his mother about this, his mother
became so angry that she threw the beans out of the window.
When Jack woke up in the morning, he felt the sun shining into a part of his
room but all the rest was quite dark and shady.
So he jumped to the window. What did he see? The beanstalk grew up quite
close past Jack's window. He opened the window and jumped to the beanstalk which
ran up just like a big ladder.
He climbed ... and climbed till at last he reached the sky. While looking around,
he saw a very huge castle. He was very amazed.
Then Jack walked along the path leading to the castle. There was a big tall
woman on the doorstep. Jack greeted her and asked for the giantess mercy to give
him breakfast, because he felt very hungry. Although the giantess grumbled at first,
finally she gave Jack a hunk of bread and cheese and a jug of milk.
Jack hadn't finished when the whole house, began to tremble with the noise of

Items 20 – 22 are based on the following passage.

All human beings eat food and make use of the chemical energy in it, so do all
other animals. Perhaps you wonder where all that chemical energy comes from. Why
doesn’t the food all get used up?
The answer is that new food is being grown as fast as old food is used to. It is
the green plants that form the new food. Animals either eat the plants or eat other
animals that have eaten plants.
The green substance of plants is chlorophyll. Chlorophyll can absorb sunlight.
When it does so, it changes the energy of the sun into chemical energy. The
chemical energy present in sunlit chlorophyll is used to combine dioxide in the air
with water from the soil. Starch and other complicated compounds are formed.
These are high in chemical energy obtained from the sunlit chlorophyll.
They make up the food on which mankind and all other animals live. In the
process of forming this food, some oxygen atoms are left over. These are given off
into the air by the plants. The whole process is called photosynthesis.
Thus, plants use sunlight to from food and oxygen to from carbon dioxide and
water again. Plants change the sun’s energy into chemical energy. And animals
change the animal energy into kinetic and heat energy.
20. What will happen when the chlorophyll absorbs sunlight? It will....
A. Change heat into kinetic energy

C. Make use of heat energy

B. All human beings need chemical energy
C. Plants absorb sunlight to produce kinetic energy
D. Chlorophyll is the most important thing in photosynthesis

Items 23 – 25 are based on the following passage.

Nowadays, the police have been applying the new regulation concerning the
use of seat belts. In European countries, this regulation has been applied for a long
time.
However, this new regulation has become controversial and is an interesting
topic to discuss. Here are some of the arguments. The use of seat belts has been
proven to reduce the risk of injury or death in an accident. Seat belt has become a
standard component in cars. The research shows that most car accident will cause
an injury to the head. Frequently, drivers or the passengers driving without seat belts
die because of this. By wearing the seat belts, the injury will not happen since belts
restrain our body on the car seat when the accident happens. Unfortunately, many
cars, especially the old ones, don’t have seat belts. This is because the traffic
conditions in the past were unlike the recent traffic conditions. The designer of old
cars didn’t consider a seat belt as an important part.
Besides, the drivers wearing the seat belt will think that they are completely
safe, so they may drive carelessly. They are safe, indeed, but how about safety of
other? The seat belt is only one of the ways to reduce the risk of car accidents. It
doesn’t mean that we are completely safe. In short, our safety depends on
ourselves.

23. What is the function of seat belts?

A. To reduce the traffic conditions.
B. To become a standard component in cars.
C. To reduce the risk of injury or death in an accident.
 D. To prevent the drivers driving cars carefully.
E. To increase the risk of injury in car accidents.

24. “… that they are completely safe.” What does the word “they‟ refer to?
A. Cars.
B. Seat belts.
C. Drivers.
D. Designers.
E. Others.

25. Why does the writer present two sides of opinion of advertisement?
A. S/he wants to take side.
B. S/he wants to be in the affirmative side.

E. S/he wants to the readers to understand her stance.
