The great Himalayas are the highest mountain range in the word.

They extend along the northern frontiers of Pakistan, India, Nepal, Bhutan and Burma. They were
formed geologically as a result of the collision of the Indian subcontinent with Asia.

This process of plate tectonics is ongoing, and the gradual northward drift of the Indian
subcontinent still causes earthquakes. Lesser ranges jut southward from the main body of the
Himalayas at both the eastern and western ends.

The Himalayan system, about 2,4000 kilometers in length and varying in width from 240 to 330
kilometers, is made up of three parallel ranges-the Greater Himalayas, the Lesser Himalayas, and
the Outer Himalayas-sometimes collectively called the Great Himalayan Range.

The snow averages 4,500 to 6,000 meters on the southern side of the Greater Himalayas and
5,500 to 6,000 on the northern side. Because of climatic condition, the snow line in the eastern
Himalayas average 4,300 meters, while in the western Himalayas it averages 5,800 meters.

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.
4. Don’t forget hard-to-reach places. Don’t forget to cover the backs of your knees, back
of your neck, elbows and back of your ears (if you have short hair). Feet should also be
 included if you are wearing sandals, flip-flops or going bare-foot. Even these places can
hurt a lot with sunburn.
5. Don’t lie in the sun purposefully seeking a tan. This is not only damaging to your skin
but might burn you the first few times you try it at the beginning of the season. If you
want to tan, do it gradually and sensibly, with short exposure and building up over time.
6. Put a small amount of oil or sunscreen in your hair so you will avoid burning your
scalp. Or cover it with a hat. Some shampoos and hair conditioners contain SPF
protection.

Long time ago, there was a kingdom in West Java. The kingdom was ruled by king named His
Majesty Prabu. Prabu was a kind and wise king. But it was a pity that Prabu and his queen hadn’t
got any children. The queen often cried. That was why Prabu went to the jungle. There he prayed
to God every day, begging a child.

A few months later, the queen got pregnant. Nine months later, the princess was born. Prabu and
queen loved their beautiful daughter so much. They gave whatever she wanted. It made Princess
turn into a very spoiled girl.

One day, the princess celebrated her 17th birthday party. Many people gathered in the palace.
Then, Prabu took out necklace which was made from gold and jewel. “My beloved daughter,
today I give you this necklace. Please, wear this necklace,” said Prabu. “I don’t want to wear it!
It’s ugly!” shouted the princess. Then she threw the necklace. The beautiful necklace was
broken. The gold and jewels were spread out on the floor. Everybody couldn’t say anything. They
never thought that their beloved princess would do that cruel thing. In their silence, people
heard the queen crying. Every woman felt sad and began crying too. Then, everybody was crying,
then, there was a miracle. Earth was crying.

Suddenly, from the underground, a spring emerged. It made a pool of water. Soon, the palace
became a big lake. The lake finally sank the kingdom.

Nowadays, people called the lake “TelagaWarna.” It means “Lake of Color”. On a bright day, lake
is full of color. These colors come from shadows of forest, plant, flowers, and sky around the lake.
But some people said that the colors are from the princess’s necklace, which spreads at the
bottom of lake.

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.

11. What does the text highlight?

A.Reasons to recycle.
B. Conserving the energy.
C. Protecting the environment.
D. Environmental construction.

High mountain barriers, cold ocean currents and high pressure systems cause the deserts to
remain dry.

When warm air passes over the ocean, it picks up moisture in the form of water vapour. As this
moist air travels over the land, it rises to pass over mountain rangers. When it begins to rise, the
air cools and this causes the water vapour to condense into droplets, which fall as rain. When
the air reaches the other side of the mountain barrier, it has lost all its moisture, soothe other
side of the mountain remains dry.

Air passing over cold ocean currents is cooled and therefore, unable to pick up and hold much
moisture. When this cold mass reaches the warm desert, any moisture in the air is evaporated
and it does not fall as rain. So the desert remains dry.

In a high pressure system, the air is dry and is moving downwards. As this system moves over
land, it draws the moisture from the land surface. Consequently, the moisture does not fall as
rain, so the desert remains dry.

18. The desert remains dry because . . . .

A. The moisture fall as rain

B. The air keeps all its moisture
C. The air is evaporated into moisture
D. The moisture is evaporated in the warm temperature
 E. The dry air picks up the moisture from the land surface
