A planet is a body in space that revolves around a star. There are nine planets in our solar system,
and these nine planets travel around the sun. The names of the planets are Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars,
Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto.
Planets travel in orbits around the stars. All of the planets of the solar system revolve in elliptical orbits.
In other words, their orbits are like large, flat circles. The time that it takes a planet to make one revolution
around the sun is called a year.
The Greeks were the first people to recognize and give names to some of the planets.
Tile word planet comes from a Greek word meaning wanderer If a person wanders, this means that he
goes from one place to another and does not have a home. The Greeks thought that planets "wandered" in the
sky. However, modern scientists can predict the movement of the planets very accurately.
The average person will say that agriculture means farming. He is partly right, for raising crops is a
branch of agriculture. So do livestock raising, dairy farming, fruit growing, chicken raising and even fur farming.
Agricultural includes the raising of every kind of plants and animals that is useful to man.
With all its many branches, agriculture is the world's most important industry. It supplies the food
we eat and many of the materials from which we make our clothing.
Farms are classified according to the type of farming that is done and kinds of crops and livestock
that are raised. They may be classified in several different ways, such as general, specialized, intensive,
and extensive farms.
General farming is a farm where a variety of things is raised. On such a farm there may be a herd of
dairy cows whose milk the farmer sells. There may also be poultry to provide extra income and supply some of
the family's needs.
There are many factors that influence the types of crops and livestock that a farmer raised. The most
important one is climate which includes temperature, length of growing season, sunshine, and rainfall. Another
is the type of soil. The third is the amount of water available for irrigation. By concentrating on the particular
crops or animals that fit best with this situation, the specialized farmer hopes to use his land in the most efficient
and profitable way.
When a farmer devotes a great deal of labor to a piece of land, he is practising intensive agriculture. If
he works in a large area of land with relatively little labor, he is practising extensive agriculture. Intensive
agriculture usually goes together with small farms. A great deal of careful work is always involved in intensive
agriculture. Often this work must be done by hand. Extensive agriculture is usually practised on large farms or
ranches where most of the work is done by machinery.

The Buyat Bay, issue has been a hot topic these past two weeks.
However, no party has claimed responsibility for the pollution in the bay. This country is suffering from an
old illness : it cannot see the culprits even though it could - if it wanted to.
The issue started when a non-governmental organization discovered that a number of people living near the
bay in South Minahasa district, North Sulawesi province, were suffering from skin diseases.
Blood tests showed that some had high levels of mercury in their blood.
Public opinion then turned against the subsidiary of U.S based Newmont Minahasa Corp. PT Newmont
Minahasa Raya, accusing it of causing the pollution by dumping its tailings in the bay.
12. "Public opinion then turned .............. by dumping its tailings in the bay." (Paragraph 5)

a. unloading
b. piling
c. burying
d. packing

Each society has its own beliefs, attitudes, customs, behaviours, and social habits.
These give people a sense of who they are, how they should behave, and what they should or should not do.
These 'rules' reflect the 'culture' of a country.
People become conscious of such rules when they meet people from different cultures. For example, in
some. cultures, being on time can mean turning up several hours late for an appointment, even for a business
meeting; in others, 3 p.m. means 3 p.m. Also, the rules
about when to eat vary from culture to culture. Many North Americans and Europeans are used to having three
mealtimes a day and organizing their timetable around them. In some countries, on the other hand, people often
do not have strict rules like this - people eat when they want to and every family has its own time table.
When people visit or live in a country for the first time, they are often surprised at the differences that exist
between their own culture and that in the other country. The most common way of comparing two cultures is in
terms of their differences - not their similarities.
