A Life Lesson
By Anonymous.

I lost my father when I was only nine years old. This was the biggest loss I have had. He was
everything to me, his only daughter. We were so close. I did not lose him to death though. I lost him in a much
harder way: I lost my father to drugs. He got addicted and started to ignore my brother and me.

One cool Summer night, my brother, a couple of our friends, and I were watching Scary Movie 3 in the
living room. Around 9:30 pm, when I looked toward the kitchen, I saw orange and yellow flames reflecting of
the door’s window. It was a mess explosion caused by his careless actions under the influence of the drugs.

After the fire was out, I saw my dad run around to the backyard and jump into the pool. I knew then
that he had gotten burned. Fie ended up confined in the hospital. After he got better, they put him in jail for a
month under drug charges. I was so mad and hurt, and suffered from severe depression. It destroyed my health
and my social life.

One day, one of my teachers stopped me in the hail to ask if I was okay. She asked if she could help
me, if l would tell her what was going on. So I did. She helped save me and lift me back up. After a while, I
started to feel and do better. She is now one of my greatest friends and mentors, and we talk daily. I could
never repay her for everything she has done for me.

Through my experiences, I learned never to do anything without thinking of how it will impact the
people around me.

Little Boy with a Slingshot

Once upon a time Sammy and his sister Marie visited their grandparents at their farm.
Sammy picked up a slingshot to play with out in the woods. He practiced in the woods,
but he could never hit the target. Getting a little discouraged, he headed back for the lunch.
As lie was walking back, he saw Grandma’s pet duck.

Just out of impulse, he let the slingshot fly which hit the duck square in the head and killed it. He was shocked
and grieved. In a panic, he hid the dead duck in the pile of Woods. Marie had seen it all from the window, but
she said nothing. After the lunch, the next day Grandma said, “Marie, let’s wash the dishes.” Marie said, “But
Grandma, Sammy told me he wanted to help in the kitchen.”

Then she whispered to Sammy, “Remember the duck?” Sammy got nervous knowing his
sister knew about the duck and if he did not obey, she might tell his grandparents about
it. So, without saying anything, he did the dishes.

Later that day, Grandpa asked if the children wanted to go fishing but Grandma said, “I’m
sorry but I need Marie to help make a supper.” Marie just smiled and said, “Well that’s
all right because Sammy told me he wanted to help.”

She whispered again to Sammy, “Remember the duck?” So, Marie went fishing and
Sammy stayed to help. After several days of Marie taking advantage of Sammy, he finally
couldn’t stand it any longer. He came to Grandma and confessed that he had killed theduck. ‘

Grandma knelt down, gave him a hug and said, “Sweetheart, I know. I was standing at the
window and I saw the whole thing but because I love you, I’ve forgiven you. I was just
wondering how long you would let Marie take advantage of you.”

skateboards consist of the deck (often with grip tape applied on top to enhance traction),
trucks (with urethane bushings), wheels (with sealed bearings), nuts, and bolts to fasten the

There is no best way to deal with pests in agriculture. Pesticides which are commonly
used may cause many problems. I think combining different management operations
is the most effective way to control pests.

Firstly, the chemicals in the pesticides may build up as residues in the environment and
in the soil which absorbs the chemicals. This reduces the quality of farm product.

Secondly, pests can gradually become resistant to pesticides. This means that newer
and stronger ones have to be developed.

Lastly, some pesticides affect non target plants and animals such as fish and bees. This
affects the ecology and environment as well.
So, understanding of ecology of an area helps a lot in pest control. Pesticides should
be chosen and applied carefully so that they don’t affect the ecological balance and
environment.

Therefore, integrated pest management is a safe and more effective option to fight pest
in agriculture and livestock.

36. The text above mainly discusses ....

A. the importance to manage pest control
B. the soil roles on pesticides effects
C. pesticide effects on the environment
D. pest immunity towards the chemicals

A. non target plants and animal may be dead because of pesticides
B. dealing with pest is not important in the agriculture
C. the soil can reduce the quality of farm product
D. pesticides are used to control pests effectively
E. pesticides should be seen as the best pest control

principal about what you have done to them, and surely, you will be in a very, very
bigtrouble.

Finally, bullying can result in very serious consequences. Maybe it is done for fun,
but the victims can consider it as a deep traumatic experience that can lead to depression, or even suicide.

Land Reclamation
Land reclamation will definitely increase land area for a certain country. More land has been
made available for development. More buildings and infrastructure can be built.

However, much greenery has been removed in order for the land needed. Land reclamation can
be damaging to corals and marine life. Corals are usually moved to another place when land is
to be reclaimed. The corals might not be able to survive in that certain habitat, and thus die out.
In some countries, where the project is large-scale, they do not even bother to re-plant the corals
elsewhere, instead just reclaim the land on their habitat, causing them to die out immediately.
Marine life, such as fish, might not have enough food after the underwater plantations are
destroyed due to reclamation of land. This applies to the food chain. The water might also be
polluted from the soil used to reclaim land, causing the fish to die and blocking out sunlight,
depriving the underwater plants of growth. Marine habitat arc also destroyed; therefore, the
marine creatures would be forced to move to another new habitat. Some might not be able to
adapt, and thus die out. Some would just die without even finding a new habitat, as they cannot
move long distances in water.

Finally, the reasons and examples look tempting to humans, but marine life is life too! We should try to protect
itas much as possible, instead of just focusing on the advantages.

40. The purpose of the text is to...

A. show different views about land reclamation.
B. influence readers to support land reclamation.
C. persuade readers to support land reclamation.
D. explain how important land reclamation is.
E. criticize about land reclamation.

A. they can survive elsewhere easily.
B. they make fish have their hiding place.
C. they could block out sunlight for the fish.

The Jakarta-based Human Rights Working Group (HRWG) hopes the upcoming meeting
between the Indonesian government and a United Nations committee on migrant workers
will provide momentum for the country to revise its regulations its the protection of
migrant workers’ rights.

HRWG program manager Daniel Awigra said that the committee may push countries,
including Indonesia, to ‘align their laws with universal standards, as cited in the
International Convention on the Protection of the Rights of All Migrant Workers and
Members of Their Families.

“in our report submitted to the committee, we urge the committee to recommend that the
government (heed) the convention in the revision of the 2004 Law on the Protection of
Indonesian Migrant Workers,” Daniel said in a statement on Thursday.

He added that the revision had been deliberated at the House of Representatives. The latest
draft, however, still favored private recruitment agencies and lacked tight standards in the
recruitment process, he said.

The UN committee will hold a dialogue for the first time with Indonesia on September 4
to 6 in Geneva, Switzerland, regarding the government’s progress in implementing the
multilateral convention on migrant worker protection. In April, Indonesia sent an initial
report to the committee as a requirement for countries that have ratified the convention,
