Mount Bromo is an active volcano and part of the Tengger massif, in East Java, Indonesia. At
2,329 meters (7,641 ft) it is not the highest peak of the massif, but is the most well known.
The massif area is one of the most visited tourist attractions in East Java, Indonesia. The
volcano belongs to the Bromo Tengger Semeru National Park. The name of Bromo derived
from Javanese pronunciation of Brahma, the Hindu creator god. Mount Bromo sits in the
middle of a plain called the "Sea of Sand" (Javanese: Segara Wedi or Indonesian: Lautan
Pasir), a protected nature reserve since 1919. The typical way to visit Mount Bromo is from
the nearby mountain village of Cemoro Lawang. From there it is possible to walk to the
volcano in about 45 minutes, but it is also possible to take an organised jeep tour, which
includes a stop at the viewpoint on Mount Penanjakan (2,770 m or 9,088 ft) (Indonesian:
Gunung Penanjakan). The viewpoint on Mount Penanjakan can also be reached on foot in
about two hours. Depending on the degree of volcanic activity, the Indonesian Centre for
Volcanology and Disaster Hazard Mitigation sometimes issues warnings against visiting
Mount Bromo.

The History of Olympic Games
Among the biggest sport events in the world are the Olympic Games. They began in
Greece long ago. The Olympic Games was held once every four years at Olympia. Olympic
athletes had to be male, of Greek nationality, and not slaves. Women were prohibited from
watching the Games in the stadium.
At first, the Olympic Games included only one event, a running race. Later the Games
had more events; long jumps, javelin, boxing, chariot racing, and horse riding in the
hippodrome. The only prize the winner received was a crown of olive leaves. However, it
was great honor to win.
When the Romans subjugated Greece, the Olympic Games became major sport events,
and the winner got bigger prizes. Then people began to cheat, so the Roman Emperor
Theodosius banned the games.
In 1896 a Frenchman, Baron Pierre de Coubertin, revived the Olympic Games. The
games were held in Greece. At this point the first modern Olympic Games began. Now the
Games were held in different countries. The games are officially opened by lighting of the
Olympic torch. Runners carry the Olympic Flame from Greece all the way to the host country.
Now, the modern Olympic Games have nearly 400 events, many of which are team
sport.

This Is Me
by. Keala Settle
I am not a stranger to the dark
Hide away, they say
'Cause we don't want your broken parts
I've learned to be ashamed of all my scars
Run away, they say
No one'll love you as you are
But I won't let them break me down to dust
I know that there's a place for us
For we are glorious
When the sharpest words wanna cut me down
I'm gonna send a ~ood, gonna drown them out
I am brave, I am bruised
I am who I'm meant to be, this is me
Look out 'cause here I come
And I'm marching on to the beat I drum
I'm not scared to be seen
I make no apologies, this is me

8. Read the text carefully then answer the following question!
Challenges for Being Foster Parents

Being raised in a complete family is ideal for a child. However, there are children who have
neither a mother nor father to care for them. Fortunately, there exists an institution of foster
parenting that allows such children to receive care and attention. However, being a foster parent
is not easy.
One of the biggest challenges foster parents face is a variety of behaviour deviations that a foster
child may display. Many children were taken away due to such reasons as physical or sexual
abuse, emotional violence, and so on. Foster parents should take a traumatized child an ample
amount of time to get used to a stable.
Surprisingly, another challenge is their own family and/or friends ridicule. It may be difficult to
understand why they start taking care of a completely unfamiliar child, taking all the respective
financial, personal, and other responsibilities for this child. This may cause other family
members attack the foster parent, demanding to quit caring for the child.
Yet another significant problem is the necessity to take care of a child from possibly a
completely different cultural and linguistic environment. They have different behavioural
patterns, ways of expressing emotions, moral and ethical rules, and so on.
Being a foster parent is noble. At the same time, it also means facing enormous challenges; in
particular, a foster parent may have to deal with severe misbehaviour, opposition from their own
friends and relatives, and significant cultural and language differences. All this makes foster
parenting a real feat.
https://academichelp.net/samples/academics/essays/expository/foster-parent.html
Lofty means mulia.
What does last paragraph concern about?

A. A reiteration that being a foster parent is lofty.
B. An issue that being a foster parent is complicated.
C.A foster parent’s challenge toward their own family.
D.A foster child’s attitude digression.
E.A foster child’s different linguistic environment

Dear Frank,
All the best to you for the New Year! How are things going in the Land of the Rising Sun? I
must say, I really envy you getting that Tokyo gig with the company. Somehow they overlooked
me on that one and I am forced to slug it out here through another frigid and snowy Montreal
winter. Brrrr!
I heard through the grapevine that business is going well there. Rumor has it that you guys are
just about to close a big deal with the Japanese government for an M-750 Simulator. Great news!
Good for the company and good for you. Keep up the great work!
As for me, I am quite busy these days on the Branscombe Systems Project. We are entering
Phase Two now, and that is expected to run for three years, at least. Frank Schindler is Senior
Project Manager and I am Team Leader of the Embedded Systems Group. I am enjoying it so far.
Whether I'll feel the same way in three years, I'm not sure. By then I might be ready to join you
in Japan.
I have to go now and attend to family duties. Jonathan needs some help with his homework and
Angie wants me to fix something in the kitchen. You single guys traveling the world sure are
lucky!
Keep me posted whenever you can. I really enjoy receiving your letters and getting the details of
your life in Japan.
Your squash buddy,

10. Read the text carefully!
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.
How can we swallow the food easily?

A. The food changes into acids absorbed by the villi.
B.The food is directly swallowed through esophagus into the stomach.
C. The food we take must be changed into substances carried in the blood to the places.
D. The food must be digested first through the process.
E. The food is mixed with the juices secreted by the cells in the stomach.
From the text above, we imply that ….

A. a good process of digestive system will help our body becoming healthier.
B. no one concerned with the process of digestive system for their health.
C. the digestive system is needed if we are eating the food instantly.
D.every body must conduct the processes of digestive system well.
E.the better we digest the food we eat, the healthier we will be

The Problem of Teenage Gangs

Adolescence is one of the most difficult and turbulent periods of life for both parents and their
children. During their transit from childhood to adult life, teenagers seek to self-identify and try
to find their place in the world. Unfortunately, this process is not always smooth. One of the
biggest problems a teenager can get into during adolescence is becoming a part of a teenage gang.
Why would a teenager even want to join a gang? Experts believe it might be connected to a
desire to gain authority and respect in the teenage society hierarchy: gangs usually attract
adolescents who want to belong to a respected community that provides security and anonymity,
and at the same time tend to be susceptible to peer pressure.
Does it mean the problem of teenagers participating in gangs is not worth attention? No. The
percentage of actual criminals among teens is still high. besides, even passive participation in a
gang still increases the chances that a teenager will become entangled in drugs (addiction or
trafficking), vandalism, theft, and robbery.
For those parents concerned about whether their child might become a member of a gang, joining
a gang might be an extreme way of teenage riot. Although not all teenagers in gangs become
criminals and commit crimes, being a member of a gang can still lead to problems later.

The Borobudur Temple was built in the 8th and 9th centuries AD during the reign of the
Syailendra Dynasty that ruled Java for around five centuries until the 10th century. Many have
believed that it is an outstanding dynastic monument. It is located in the Kedu Valley, in the
southern part of Central Java, at the centre of the island of Java, Indonesia. The Borobudur
Temple Compounds consists of three monuments: namely the Borobudur Temple and two
smaller temples situated to the east on a straight axis to Borobudur. The two temples are Mendut
Temple, whose depiction of Buddha is represented by a formidable monolith accompanied by
two Bodhisattvas, and Pawon Temple, a smaller temple whose inner space does not reveal which
deity might have been the object of worship. Those three monuments
represent phases in the attainment of Nirvana. The main temple is a stupa built in three tiers
around a hill which was a natural centre: a pyramidal base with five concentric square terraces,
the trunk of a cone with three circular platforms and, at the top, a monumental stupa.
The walls and balustrades are decorated with fine low reliefs, covering a total surface area of
2,520 m. Around the circular platforms are 72 openwork stupas, each containing a statue of the
Buddha.

Reality TV and Its Impact on Teenagers

It is probably impossible to find a person living in a developed country that would not have
heard about reality shows. It creates extremely appealing, sometimes even addictive content.
This would be fine if its audience consisted entirely of adults. At the same time, a large
percentage of viewers are teenagers or even children–and in this case, the worldwide popularity
of reality shows may be not so harmless.
Rather often, even adult viewers rarely contemplate the possibility that the people they watch are
actors, that they follow a script, and that the plot and dynamics of the show often reflects the
demands and expectations of the target audience. In particular, reality television often shows
excessive amounts of aggression.
In the case of some reality shows, children and teenagers can be not only viewers, but also
participants. This is mostly true for all kinds of talent shows focusing on children’s extraordinary
talents or abilities. Although it can be considered relatively harmless and many parents enjoy
watching such shows together with their kids, there may be negative psychological effects here
as well.
Overall, it can be said that reality shows are not affecting teenagers and children positively.
Whereas adults with shaped outlooks and behavioral patterns often view such shows as
entertainment and do not seem to be affected by them significantly, teenagers may adopt
inappropriate behavioral patterns seen on television. Therefore, it is advisable that teenagers
watch reality shows under their parents’ control, or do not watch them at all.

Assembly of twenty-nine developing nations, including many from the Middle East, to discuss
international relations, colonialism, and cooperation.
The conference was convened by prime ministers Muhammad Ali of Pakistan, Jawaharlal Nehru
of India, U Nu of Burma, Sir John Kotelawala of Ceylon, and Ali Sastroamidjojo of Indonesia.
Twenty-nine developing nations assembled in Bandung, Indonesia, in April 1955 to discuss their
role in a world dominated by the superpowers. Major issues were colonialism, economic and
cultural cooperation, the legitimacy of defense pacts such as the North Atlantic Treaty
Organization (NATO) and Southeast ASia Treaty Organization (SEATO), and the viability of
peaceful coexistence.
The Middle Eastern states were represented by such leaders as Dr. Charles Malik of Lebanon, Dr.
Muhammad Fadhil al-Jamali of Iraq, Gamal Abdel Nasser of Egypt, and Prince Faisal ibn Abd
al-Aziz of Saudi Arabia. The conference passed resolutions supporting the independence
struggles of Algeria, Morocco, and Tunisia against France, and it called for a peaceful settlement
of the issue of the Palestinians in accordance with United Nation resolutions.
The Bandung Conference saw Nasser emerge as an international leader. The ties that he
established there with Nehru would lead in six years to the first Nonaligned Nations Conference
in Belgrade, Yugoslavia.

You Raise Me Up
by. Josh Groban
When I am down and, oh my soul, so weary;

When troubles come and my heart burdened be;
Then, I am still and wait here in the silence,
Until you come and sit awhile with me.
You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains;
You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas;
I am strong, when I am on your shoulders;
You raise me up: To more than I can be.
There is no life - no life without its hunger;
Each restless heart beats so imperfectly;
But when you come and I am filled with wonder,
Sometimes, I think I glimpse eternity.

The Legend of Desa Sungai Jernih, West Sumatera

Once upon a time in West Sumatra, a widow took her two children to a party.
Meanwhile in the party, there was also a traditional music show. The children asked their mother
if they could see it. “Yes, but please remember, don’t go too far,” said the mother. They enjoyed
the music. But they forgot their mother’s message.
Suddenly, they saw a pond. The water was very clear and fresh. They were tempted to play in the
water. Meanwhile, the party was over. The mother remembered her two children. They were still
missing. The mother cried and cried.
She fell asleep after a long hour of crying and had a dream. In her dream, she met an old woman.
She told her, “If you want to see them, throw a handful of rice into the pond.” As soon as she
woke up, she quickly ran to the pond with a handful of rice.
When she reached the pond, she threw the rice into and called her children’s names. Two big fish
with beautiful colours appeared. The mother cried. They turned into big beautiful fish because
they disobeyed their mother’s message.
The village where the pond was located is now called Desa Sungai Jernih. The reason is because
the water was very clear. It is located in the northern part of Nagari Baso, in Kabupaten Agam,
West Sumatra. It also reminds people today in West Sumatra to obey parents. Today, the people
of the village come as they think that it is a sacred place.

The Legend of Batu Bagga, Central Sulawesi
A long time ago on the Sulawesi island, there lived a man named Intobu. He lived with his only
son, named Impalak. They were fishermen. They went to sea to catch fish every night, even in
bad weather.
One day, Impalak started to feel bored with the job. He wanted to try something new. He wanted
to make life better for his father and himself. Impalak went to the harbor. He saw Bagga
(sailboats) and met the owner. Impalak asked his father’s permission to sail. Intobu permitted his
son.
Several years passed. Whenever Intobu saw Bagga, he always hoped that his son would return.
There was even no news at all from Impalak. One day, Intobu went fishing as usual. He used a
small boat and headed into open water near the harbor. He saw Bagga headed for the port. He
saw a handsome young man standing on the front deck. The young man was accompanied by his
lovely wife. Intobu recognized him as Impalak, his son. Impalak did not admit Intobu as his
father. Suddenly, Intobu’s boat was hit by waves and almost drowned.
Impala did not help at all. He prayed, "Oh, God, please hear my prayer. I curse that rebellious
son's to be stone."
Not long after Intobu prayed to God, a storm came and Impalak’s Bagga. The wind was blowing
so hard, pushing Bagga from the beach. Suddenly, Bagga and Impalak turned to be stones. The
stones are still existing today. People name them sBagga Stone.

Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves

Ali Baba, a poor woodcutter was in the forest when he saw forty thieves stop in front of a cave.
The leader said “Open Sesame!” and the sealed mouth of the cave magically opened and the men
disappeared inside. To come out and close the entrance, the leader said “Close Sesame” and the
cave sealed itself once more. Trembling with excitement Ali Baba waited till the thieves had left
and then entered the cave after saying the magic words. To his delight he found lots of treasure.
Ali Baba’s greedy brother, Kasim, forced him to tell about the wondrous cave. Kasim set off to
get some treasure for himself too. He entered with the magic words, but in his greed and
excitement over the treasure, he forgot the magic words to get back out again. The thieves found
him there and killed him. Ali Baba discovered his brother’s body in the cave. With the help of a
slave girl called Morgiana, he was able to take Kasim’s body back home and bury it.

The Black Death was a plague pandemic which devastated Europe from 1347 to 1352 CE, killing
an estimated 25-30 million people. The disease, carried by ~eas on rodents, originated in central
Asia and was taken from there to the Crimea by Mongol warriors and traders. The plague entered
Europe via Italy, carried by rats on Genoese trading ships sailing from the Black Sea. With up to
two-thirds of sufferers dying from the disease, it is estimated that between 30% and 50% of the
population of those places affected died from the Black Death. The death toll was so high that it
had significant consequences on European medieval society as a whole, with a shortage of
farmers resulting in demands for an end to serfdom, a general questioning of authority and
rebellions, and the entire abandonment of many towns and villages. It would take 200 years for
the population of Europe to recover to the level seen prior to the Black Death.
