We were camping at a beach near Mallacota. It was
a beautiful day-the sky was blue and the water sparking.
We wanted to go body surfing, but the locals warned us
that there could be sharks around.
We went in and the waves were big. However,
something funny was going on. There were little fishes
everywhere. They were flying through the water,
skimming through our legs.
Soon I discovered what was frightening the fish. As
I turned to catch the next wave, I heard the shout .....
SHARK! It was on top of there wave, surfing towards
me. Before I had time to turn around, it brushed past me,
heading for the flying fishes.
I practically walked on the water as I raced towards
the beach. As I stood on the shore, I could see my heart
bumping in my chest.
My brush with a shark had been just a little too close
for comfort.

DENPASAR: Bali enjoyed a 47 percent increase in
the number of British tourists visiting the island in
the first quarter of the year, from 21,859 people in the
same period in 2010 to 32,129 people this year.
“They mostly entered (Bali) through the
Ngurah Rai International Airport aboard direct flights
from their country; only 1,179 people came via the
port aboard cruises,” Bali Central Statistics Agency

British tourists thus represent 3.78 percent of the
848,899 foreign tourists in Bali in the first quarter of
2011; an increase of 13 percent compared to the same
period last year, Gede said.
The recent figure has made Britain the seventh-

Australia, China, Japan, Malaysia, Taiwan and South
Korea. It had earlier been ranked ninth.

The Old Man and the Durian Tree
A long time ago lived an old man whose age was over 80
years old. He was planting a durian tree when he was observed
by a neighbour. (A durian is a thorny fruit with a very pungent
smell. It is known as the King of Fruits and is very popular in
South-east Asia.)
The neighbour asked the old man, “Do you expect to eat
durian from that that tree ? The durian tree will take about 8 to
10 years to bear fruit.”
The old man rested smilingly on his spade. He said, ‘No,
at my age I know I won’t. All my life I have been enjoying
durians, but never from a tree i have planted before. I wouldn’t
have had durians if other men have not done what I am doing
now. I am just trying to pay the other men who have planted
durians for me.” No wonder he looked so happy.
We should be GIVERS first and GETTERS second in
everything we do. We will not only get what we want but will
actually be really happyin the end. Because we need to sow
first before we can reap.

The following text is for question 34 to 37.
The blue whale (Balaenoptera musculus) is the largest
mammal found on the planet, perhaps the largest mammal that
has ever lived, thought to be even larger than even the largest
of the dinosaurus. It belongs to a family of animals known as
the rorquals. Unfortunately, it is currently listed as endangered
and was hunted nearly to extinction by the 1960s when hunting
was finally banned. The current population of the blue whale is
only estimated to be about 12,000 total.
The blue whale is a greyish-blue in colour with lighter
grey spots across its skin. It has a tiny pointed dorsal fin,
located low on its back. The averange length os about 22 – 24
metres, but the female, the larger of the species, can grow in
excess of 24 metres and can weigh over 100 tons.
Blue whales are found all over the world. They migrate to
warmer climates in the winter, in tropical and subtropical
location, and to frequent colder locations, like the poles, in
spring and summer. They usually travel in very small groups,
often travelling alone, and can swim very quickly, sometimes
reaching speeds of up to 48 km per hour.
The diet of blue whales consists mostly of plankton and
krill, which are small invertebrates that resemble shrimp. The
blue whales can eat over 4 tons of these tiny creatures per day
during their summer feeding season.
