General Offensive of 1 March 1949

The Dutch launched a military offensive on 19 December 1948 which is termed Operation Crow.
By the following day it had conquered the city of Yogyakarta, the location of the temporary Republican
capital. By the end of December, all major Republican held cities in Java and Sumatra were in Dutch hands.
The Republican President, Vice-President, and all but six Republic of Indonesia ministers were
captured by Dutch troops and exiled on Bangka Island off the east coast of Sumatra.

wage a guerrilla war under the leadership of Republican military chief of staff General Sudirman who had
escaped the Dutch offensives. An emergency Republican government was established in West Sumatra.
On March 1, 1949 at 6 am, Republican forces launched March 1 General Offensive. The Offensive

The effects of climate change need to be considered along with other evolving factors that affect
agricultural production, such as changes in farming practices.
For any particular crop, the effect of increased temperature will depend on the crop's optimal temperature
for growth and reproduction. In some areas, warming may benefit the types of crops that are typically
planted there, or allow farmers to shift to crops that are currently grown in warmer areas. Conversely, if the
higher temperature exceeds a crop's optimum temperature, yields will decline. Higher CO2 levels can affect
crop yields. Some laboratory experiments suggest that elevated CO2 levels can increase plant growth.
However, other factors, such as changing temperatures, ozone, and water and nutrient constraints, may
counteract these potential increases in yield. For example, if temperature exceeds a crop's optimal level, if
sufficient water and nutrients are not available, yield increases may be reduced or reversed. Elevated CO2 has
been associated with reduced protein and nitrogen content in alfalfa and soybean plants, resulting in a loss of
quality. Reduced grain and forage quality can reduce the ability of pasture and rangeland to support grazing
livestock.
More extreme temperature and precipitation can prevent crops from growing. Extreme events, especially
floods and droughts, can harm crops and reduce yields. For example, in 2010 and 2012, high nighttime
temperatures affected corn yields across the U.S. Corn Belt, and premature budding due to a warm winter
caused $220 million in losses of Michigan cherries in 2012.
Dealing with drought could become a challenge in areas where rising summer temperatures cause soils
to become drier. Although increased irrigation might be possible in some places, in other places water
supplies may also be reduced, leaving less water available for irrigation when more is needed.
Though rising CO2 can stimulate plant growth, it also reduces the nutritional value of most food crops.
Rising levels of atmospheric carbon dioxide reduce the concentrations of protein and essential minerals in
most plant species, including wheat, soybeans, and rice. This direct effect of rising CO 2 on the nutritional
value of crops represents a potential threat to human health. Human health is also threatened by increased
pesticide use due to increased pest pressures and reductions in the efficacy of pesticides.
It is very obvious that climate change is a crucial issue. All the government in the world must concern to
sit together overcoming the problem due to this case.

PRAY
(JUSTIN BIEBER)
I just can't sleep tonight

Knowing that things ain't right
Its in the papers, its on the TV,
Its everywhere that I go
Children are crying
Soldiers are dying
Some people don't have a home
But I know there's sunshine behind that rain
I know there's good times behind that pain
Can you tell me how I can make a change
I close my eyes and I can see a better day

I close my eyes and pray
I lose my appetite,
Knowing kids starve tonight
Am I a sinner,
'Cause half my dinner is still there on my plate
Ooh I got a vision, to make a difference

Pray for the broken-hearted
I pray for the life not started

Can someone tell how to make a change?
I close my eyes and I pray

Fight Song
By Rachel Platten
Like a small boat

On the ocean
Sending big waves
Into motion
Like how a single word
Can make a heart open
I might only have one match
But I can make an explosion
And all those things I didn't say
Wrecking balls inside my brain
I will scream them loud tonight
Can you hear my voice this time?
This is my fight song
Take back my life song
Prove I'm alright song
My power's turned on
Starting right now I'll be strong
I'll play my fight song

Like a small boat
On the ocean
Sending big waves
Into motion

Can make a heart open

With the recent railway developments in Indonesia, the history of trains in Java during the Dutch
East Indies period is interesting to consider from the horse-drawn passenger trains to the cow-drawn
freight trains.
As reported by Kompas Daily on August 29, 1969 covered the origins of the trains in Indonesia,
including the 10 railway operators at that time.
In early 1900s, trains were drawn by cows and horses. Freight trains were pulled by cows to
transport sugarcane. Meanwhile, passenger trains, which consisted of only one or two cars, were
drawn by four horses along the Purwosari – Banyudono – Boyolali route in Central Java. This method
continued until 1912, when horses were replaced by locomotives. However, these locomotives
needed to be operated by a designated train driver because of the complex system.
To connect Magelang and Ambarawa in Central Java, a hilly area, railway operators used the
only locomotive model available in Java. A locomotive was placed on the front and back of the train.
On uphill tracks, an extra locomotive would be placed at the back to provide more power. For
downhill tracks, the locomotive would be moved to the front.
12. How were the earliest freight trains operated?

A. Pulled by cows.
B. Pulled by horses.
C. Drawn by cows and horses.

Once, there lived a mother deer with her fawns: Tara, Tito, and Tania. Those three decided to be
independent and sought their fortune. They told their mother about their desire and the mother let
them go.

spring. It had to be stronger than his elder brother’s. He gathered branches, then tied them all
together with ropes.

nailed them together perfectly. She claimed no beast could break them through. She also built a
deep wide ditch around her house with a small bridge to cross it. The small bridge could be pulled up

Entrepreneurship is a key to the national development and solution of many

problems. The process of entrepreneurship is li ke planting a new tree. A tree provides
filtered air for humans, fruit for kids, grass for animals, home for birds and wood for
farmer. The following are several reasons why entrepreneurship is important to the
modern world.
Entrepreneurs start a new business. When new entrepreneurs come they bring
new ideas to the market. They create new solutions to old problems. They create
perfect competition in the market. Due to perfect competition in the market,
customers get high-quality products and services at low er prices.
In society, when entrepreneurs become successful, they inspire social

development. They spend part of their income in the development of education of
poor children. They invest in growing natural resources. They inspire young people to
become responsible for their duty towards the nation. They participate in government
initiatives in educational and national development directly or indirectly.
In economic development, entrepreneurship is a source of income for the

government. If there is no tax and then there is no government. Moreover,
entrepreneurship increases the demand for goods and services. When they start their
business, they need infrastructure to run a business. In return, government and other
entrepreneurs get profits.
Entrepreneurship is important for an ind ividual to become rich in life.

Entrepreneurship is important for financial freedom and wealth. Today, you can see
people working for companies and doing their jobs. That’ s great, but I don’t think they
have the freedom to choose their working and family hours. They have fix routine. They
have fix income, and most part of their income is invested on liabilities. Such individuals
are very talented but they are working hard for banks to pay instalment or interest,
room owners to pay rent, governments to pay tax. They are spending and using their
skills for others and working for money. If they start their own business, then they can
achieve more in less time, even if they do or run part -time online business, they can
increase their income.
Entrepreneurship education is really important for graduates and senior secondary

school students. If they learn about marketing, they can market their skills and
knowledge and will get good jobs. If they learn about finance and money in college
then they can spend wisely and save more. If they learn entrepreneurship they will
learn how to take responsibility, why to take responsibility for their own success and
happiness in life. And they also learn how to help others with their talent, skills, and
products.
Above all, it is proved that entrepreneurship brings positive atmosphere. Be good

students who have dreams and hopes, and are re ady to make innovations for the
country.
26. Why is entrepreneurship like planting a tree?

A. It is a solution to an economic problem.

Many teenagers after graduating from high school want to study abroad. Studying abroad may be
one of the most beneficial experiences for a college student. By studying abroad, students have the
opportunity to study in a foreign nation and take in the allure and culture of a new land. Here are some
reasons to study abroad.
First, teenagers have an opportunity to see the world . By studying abroad, you will experience a
brand-new country with incredible new outlooks, customs and activities. The benefits of studying
abroad include the opportunity to see new terrains, natural wonders, museums and landmarks of your
host nation.
Second, another reason you might consider studying abroad is for the chance to
experience different styles of education. By enrolling in a study abroad program, you‟ll have the
chance to see a side of your major that you may not have been exposed to at home.
Third, many students who choose to study abroad are leaving their home for the first time. When
they arrive in their new host country, they are fascinated by the distinct cultural perspectives. When
you study abroad you will find incredible new foods, customs, traditions, and social atmospheres.
Fourth, you have an opportunity to study a foreign language. This chance can really hone your
language skills. Studying abroad grants you the opportunity to completely immerse yourself in a new
language, and there is no better way to learn than to dive right in.
Fifth, when you finish your study abroad program and return home, you will return with a new
perspective on culture, language skills, a great education, and a willingness to learn. Needless to say,
all of these are very attractive to future employers.
The last, that there is nothing quite like being on your own in a foreign country. You might find
that studying abroad really brings out your independent nature. Students who study abroad become
explorers of their new nation and really discover the curiosity and excitement that they harbour.

Plastic waste is fast becoming a widely recognized problem. While it is an important

material for our economy, providing multiple benefits to modern-day living, plastic can take
thousands of years to biodegrade. It takes up valuable space in landfill sites and is polluting
the natural environment, having a significant impact on our oceans.
Plastic is everywhere. It is strong, light, cheap, and very versatile. The majority of plastic
waste does not get reused or recycled and experts believe that 50% of plastic is single-use,
meaning it is used once before being discarded.
While getting rid of plastic waste is the primary environmental problem, the production
process is a leading cause of carbon emissions contributing to global warming. It takes a lot
of energy and resources to make plastic.
Creating ‘a circular economy’ is based on the notion of maintaining the value of

products, materials, and resources within the economy for as long as possible, consequently
minimizing the generation of waste that is produced. This concept helps to shape an
essential part of the EU’s plans to develop a sustainable and more resource-efficient
economy, with plastic forming one of the top five priority areas to be addressed.
68. Why do we need to reduce the use of plastic?
A. It uses less amount of energy when producing plastic.

B. It will offer a lot of economic benefits when we recycle plastic.
C. It can decrease the number of carbon emissions in the atmosphere.
D. It can pollute the environment since it needs a thousand years to biodegrade.
E. It will support health industries by utilizing recycled plastic for plastic surgery.
69. What do you think of ‘a circular economy’?
A. It is not efficient because it takes huge amount of energy, higher than producing it.
B. It is efficient but there is no technology available to recycle plastic waste.
C. It is not efficient since the government prohibits recycling plastic waste.
D. It depends on the method that we use to recycle.
E. It is efficient and good for our environment.
70. Creating ‘a circular economy’ is based on the notion of maintaining the value of products,
materials, and resources … (Paragraph 4)
The word ‘notion’ can be best replaced with ....
A. idea
B. style
C. regulation
D. constitution
E. point of view
Biodiesel is a clean burning substitute for petroleum-based diesel fuel. Biodiesel is made
of vegetable oil.
To make or manufacture Biodiesel, you must first start with raw materials. The raw
materials needed in the production of Biodiesel are a small amount of methanol and a ready
supply of vegetable product. One of the most common vegetables used in the production of
Biodiesel is corn, although depending on the geographic location of the manufacturing facility
many other plants are used as well (rapeseed, soybeans, flaxseed, etc.). The first step is to
use the raw vegetable product to make vegetable oil. Vegetable oil by itself will not be what
you need to power a car, from here it has to be processed into Biodiesel.
The process for converting vegetable oil into Biodiesel is sometimes called ester
interchange. To complete this process the vegetable oil has to be combined with a smaller
amount of methanol and then put in the presence of a small quantity of an alkaline catalyst
(for example, 5% to 1% sodium hydroxide). Vegetable oil is made up of so-called triglycerides,
which is a compound of the trivalent alcohol glycerin with three fatty acids. The goal of ester
interchange is to separate the glycerin molecule from the three fatty acids and replace it with
three methanol molecules. This process then yields roughly 90% Biodiesel and 10% of a
glycerin byproduct. The glycerin byproduct can be used in a number of other chemical
processes for different industries
A. The use of the Biodiesel.

B. The process of making Biodiesel.
C. The advantage of using the Biodiesel.
D. The benefit of producing the Biodiesel.
E. The development of the Biodiesel product.
72. What are interchanged in the process of ester interchange?
A. The glycerin molecule with three methanol molecules

B. The three fatty acids with the glycerin molecules.
C. Methanol with the three fatty acids
D. Methanol and alkaline catalyst
E. Vegetable oil with methanol
73. According to the text, one of the advantages in using biodiesel is…
A. it is cheap.
B. it only uses vegetable oil.
C. it uses unreplaceable materials.
D. it can be done in small industry.
E. it gives less pollution than petroleum
74. “The process for converting vegetable oil…” (Paragraph 3). The word “converting” is closest in
meaning to…
A. producing
B. separating
C. changing
D. attaching
E. processing

Pulling at me like the stars do

Even if the wind blows

I see it come alive tonight

Doesn‟t even matter to you

To see what I can see
I‟m crawling on the floor to reach you
