Cindelaras was the son of the Queen of the


Jenggala kingdom who was sent away to
the jungle by the king, Raden Putra,
because his jealous concubine told him that
the queen was plotting to poison him when
she was actually innocent. Nonetheless, the
king was unaware that when he disposed of
the queen, she was pregnant with Cindelaras. Growing up in the woods with his mother,
Cindelaras stumbled upon an egg, which hatched into a chick that became a strong rooster.
The rooster was skillful and would triumph over fights with other roosters. It would even
sing a certain song which revealed that Cindelaras was the son of the king, Raden Putra. After
hearing the song, Cindelaras confronted his mom and asked her about his father whom he
subsequently went on a mission to meet. Allowing his rooster to triumph over fights with
other roosters along the way, King Raden Putra heard about Cindelaras’ rooster’s adeptness
and asked him to put their roosters together in a fight.
Predictably, Cindelaras’ rooster won and sung his song, which made the king find out that

Why Sea Water Is Salty
(A German Folktale)
Once upon a time there was a brave boy who
had nothing on earth but a blind grandmother
and a clear conscience. He wanted to become a
ship's boy and was about to begin his first
journey.
Before he left, his grandmother gave him a small
mill. She said, "If you say to the mill, 'Mill, mill,
grind for me; grind this or that for me at once!' then it will grind for you whatever you want.
And when you say, 'Mill, mill, stand still, for I want nothing more!' then it will stop grinding.
But say nothing about this, or it will bring you misfortune!"
The boy worked hard on the ship. His friends liked him. However the ship's captain
was very miserly. He gave little food to his men. And whenever there was not enough to eat,
the boy had only to say, "Mill, mill, grind for me; grind fresh bread for me at once!" and it
would grind away until he said the other words. The mill ground out anything for him that he
wanted.
After that, the evil ship’s captain heard of it. He seized the mill and forced the boy to
tell him how to use it. Since salt was very rare and precious at that moment, He asked the mill
to grind him salt. Magically, the mill started to produce salt. The captain was overjoyed
seeing it. However, the mill continued to grind more and more salt because the captain forgot
the magic sentences to stop it. The entire ship was full of salt and was beginning to sink. All
the crews left the ship using the lifeboats but the captain was still busy with the mill. Finally
the ship was sunk with the magic mill and the captain.
The mill is still grinding out grains of pure white salt at the bottom of the sea. That is
why seawater is so salty.

The following text is for number 24 – 27
The brain is the most complex part of the human
body. This three-pound organ is the seat of intelligence,
interpreter of the senses, initiator of body movement, and
controller of behavior. Lying in its bony shell and
washed by protective fluid, the brain is the source of all
the qualities that define our humanity. The brain is the
crown jewel of the human body.
The brain is like a group of experts. All the parts
of the brain work together, but each part has its own special responsibilities. The brain can be
divided into three basic units: the forebrain, the midbrain, and the hindbrain.
The hindbrain includes the upper part of the spinal cord, the brain stem, and a
wrinkled ball of tissue called the cerebellum. The hindbrain controls the body’s vital
functions such as respiration and heart rate. The cerebellum coordinates movement and is
involved in learned rote movements. When you play the piano or hit a tennis ball you are
activating the cerebellum.
The uppermost part of the brainstem is the midbrain, which controls some reflex
actions and is part of the circuit involved in the control of eye movements and other voluntary
movements. The forebrain is the largest and most highly developed part of the human brain:
it consists primarily of the cerebrum and the structures hidden beneath it. When people see
pictures of the brain it is usually the cerebrum that they notice. The cerebrum sits at the
topmost part of the brain and is the source of intellectual activities. It holds your memories,
allows you to plan, enables you to imagine and think. It allows you to recognize friends, read
books, and play games.
24. What is the second paragraph about? It’s about ….
A. the uppermost part of the brain.
B. the main function of the brain.
C. the main parts of the brain.
D. the definition of the brain.
25. The hindbrain consists of three units, they are …,… and ….
A. the forebrain, the midbrain, and the hindbrain
B. the upper part of the spinal cord, the brain stem, and the cerebrum
C. the upper part of the spinal cord, the mid brain, and the cerebellum
D. the upper part of the spinal cord, the brain stem, and the cerebellum
26. Why is the brain the crown jewel of the human body? Because ….
A. It is the source of all the qualities that define our humanity
B. It lays in its bony shell and washed by protective fluid
C. It is the most complex part of the human body
D. It only weighs three pounds
27. What is cerebellum?
A. It is part of the brain that controls some reflex actions and is part of the circuit
involved in the control of eye movements and other voluntary movements.
B. It is the source of intellectual activities and holds your memories, allows you to plan,
enables you to imagine and think.
C. It is the largest and most highly developed part of the human brain and consists
primarily of the cerebrum.
D. It is a wrinkled ball of tissue that coordinates movement and is involved in learned
rote movements.

An electric car, battery electric car, or
all-electric car is an automobile that is
propelled by one or more electric motors,
using only energy stored in batteries.
Compared to internal combustion engine
(ICE) vehicles, electric cars are quieter,
have no exhaust emissions, and lower emissions overall. In the United States and the
European Union, as of 2020, the total cost of ownership of recent electric vehicles is cheaper
than that of equivalent ICE cars, due to lower fueling and maintenance costs. Charging an
electric car can be done at a variety of charging stations; these charging stations can be
installed in both houses and public areas.
Worldwide, 6.6 million plug-in electric cars were sold in 2021, more than doubling
2020 sales, and achieving a market share of 9% of the global new car market. All-electric
cars represented 71% of plug-in car sales in 2021. As of December 2021, 16 million plug-in
electric cars were on the world's roads. Many countries have established government
incentives for plug-in electric vehicles, tax credits, subsidies, and other non-monetary
incentives while several countries have legislated to phase-out sales of fossil fuel cars, to
reduce air pollution and limit climate change.
The Tesla Model 3 became the world's all-time best-selling electric car in early 2020,
and in June 2021 became the first electric car to pass 1 million global sales. Together with
other emerging automotive technologies such as autonomous driving, connected vehicles and
shared mobility, electric cars form a future mobility vision called Autonomous, Connected,
Electric and Shared (ACES) Mobility.
36. When did Tesla Model 3 become the first electric car to exceed 1 million in sales
globally?
A. In June 2020
B. In June 2021
C. In early 2020

A. It is noisier, has exhaust emissions, and higher emissions overall.
B. Its maintenance cost is more expensive than a fuel car.
C. It increases air pollution and causes climate change.
D. It receives incentives from the government.

A. Tesla Model 3 became the world's all-time best-selling electric car by the end of 2020
