Read the following text then answer the question.

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.

Read the following text then answer the question.
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).

A. Precious metals
B. Broken glass
C. Old newspapers
D. Plastic spoons

A. Collect and search for contaminants such as plastic bags and aluminium foil
B. Mix the paper with hot water in a blender which turns it into pulp
C. Screen and filter the pulp to remove smaller contaminants
D. Put the pulp to a large vat to separate the ink from the paper fibres
E. Mix the pulp with new wood fibres to be made into paper again
30. We can make use of the ink after being separated from the paper fibres by doing the followings,
EXCEPT….
A. Skim it off
B. Dry it

Hi dad!
I did what you told me to do. Last night, I went to Starmedia book store and I found that book.
Guess what else I learnt? I just realized that success and significance are two different purposes. I will
have finished reading the book before you are back.
There’s something to tell you. Aunt Tina dropped by last Saturday. She didnt know that you had
gone to Medan ten days ago.
I can’t wait for you to get home, Dad. I miss you.

Love,

Sammy

Frogs are amphibians. Amphibians spend part of their lives under water. Young frogs start their
life in water as tadpoles.
First, the female frog lays lots of eggs so some will survive from being eaten by fish and other
animals. The eggs are small and often laid inside white foam.
Next, the eggs hatch into tadpoles. Tadpoles have gills so they can breath under water and a
strong tail to help them swim.
As the tadpoles grow bigger, they start to change because they need to become a frog. Their tail
becomes smaller and they begin growing legs. The back legs grow first followed by the front
legs.Tadpoles also start to develop lungs because they have to be ready to breathe on land when they
become a frog.
4. How do tadpoles survive under the water?
5. How is the tadpoles’ body when they grow bigger?
