My brother and I went to a football match yesterday. Our school team was playing against another High
School team. Our team wore red and white shirts, white shorts, and red stockings. The other team wore orange and
black shirts, orange shorts, and black stockings. “They look like bees“, my brother said, and we laughed.
They played like bees too. They ran very fast, attacked very hard, and passed the ball to each other very
fast. Soon they scored their first goal. My brother and I shouted and shouted, “Come on, Valley School! Come on,

high school scored another goal. We were very sad.
Then, one of the “bees” stopped the ball with one of his hands, so our team got the free kick. Our captain
took it and scored a goal. We shouted, “Hooray!” The score was now 2:1. That was better.
Now our team began to play better—or the “bees” were getting tired. Our team scored another goal before
half-time. In the second half of the match, both teams tried very hard, but neither scored, so at the end the score was
still two all.

Distillation, the process of separating the elements of a solution, is widely used in industry today. The two
most common methods are fractional distillation, used in the preparation of alcoholic beverages, and flash
distillation, used for the conversion of ocean water to fresh water.

In fractional distillation a mixture is separated into its various component parts by boiling. This method
makes use of the fact that different elements boil at varying temperature. For example, alcohol has a considerably
lower boiling temperature than water: the boiling water of water is 212 degrees Fahrenheit, and the boiling
temperature of alcohol is 172 degrees Fahrenheit. Thus, when a mixture of alcohol and water is heated, the alcohol
vaporizes more quickly than the water. The distillate is collected and the process is repeated until the desired purity
has been achieved.

Flash distillation does not require high temperatures but instead is based on pressure. In this process, a liquid
that is to be separated is forced from a compartment kept under high pressure into a compartment kept at a lower
pressure. When a liquid moves into the lower pressure chamber, it suddenly vaporizes, and the vapor is then
condensed into a distillate.

26. What does paragraph 2 tell about ?

A. The boiling temperatures of various liquids.

B. The compartment kept under high pressure.
C. The change of salt water into fresh water.
D. The example of fractional distillation.
E. The process of fractional distillation .

27. Which of the following processes would probably involve distillation?

A. Adding a new substance to a mixture.

B. Removing impurities from a solution.
C. Collecting the water into high temperature.
D. Dividing a pure element into smaller quantities.
E. Mixing two elements together to form a new solution.

28. “ . . . until the desired purity has been achieved” (par 2)

The word ‘purity’ means . . .

A. thoroughness
B. goodness
C. cleanness
D. rightness
E. clearness

Government should not raise fuel price to solve the problem of economic issues. People were affected
severely with the high fuel price like last year. Obviously they cut their spending. As an example they had to buy
lower quality of rice or palm oil. There were also fewer buyers of secondary commodities like flour, or canned
meat or fish.

Furthermore, the condition of low income family will become even worse because their expenses will
increase while their salaries will not. Many companies will have to trim the number of employees because they are
incapable of managing buying or selling price, standard wages and personal affairs.

Finally, government should not raise fuel price to overcome economic problem but the solution should be
sought by tapping into the nation’s own potential and utilizing it to enhance productivity to its maximum.

Sending an Indonesian woman to participate in the world beauty pageant always provokes a controversy.
Nevertheless, for several times, YayasanPutri Indonesia still insists on sending Putri Indonesia to the Miss Universe
competition.
Some people consider that Miss Universe competition is not in line with Indonesian culture. What most
Indonesian people concern is the fact that the competition requires each contestant to wear a swimsuit and walk
through a catwalk in a session called swimsuit contest. This matter is still extremely unacceptable in Indonesian
culture.
On the country, many people argue that being a Miss Universe is something that can be really proud of. Miss
Universe possesses the righteous mission: making more people aware of the problems in the world. What Yayasan
Putri Indonesia is doing should be appreciated and perceive as one of the efforts to put Indonesians take part in
international community.
Nevertheless, I believe that it is still not about time for Indonesian women to take part in the Miss Universe
Contest.

leather purse!"

it. You've already stolen more than the reward! Go away or I'll tell the police."

Archimedes was a Greek mathematician, philosopher and inventor who wrote important works on geometry,
arithmetic and mechanics. He was born in Syracuse on the eastern coast of Sicily and educated in Alexandria in
Egypt. He then returned to Syracuse, where he spent most of the rest of his life, devoting his time to research and
experimentation in many fields.

He is most famous for discovering the law of hydrostatics, sometimes known as 'Archimedes' principle', stating that
a body immersed in fluid loses weight equal to the weight of the amount of fluid it displaces. Archimedes was
supposed to have made this discovery when stepping into his bath, causing him to exclaim 'Eureka!'

During the Roman conquest of Sicily in 214 BC Archimedes worked for the state, and several of his mechanical
devices were employed in the defense of Syracuse. Among the war machines attributed to him are the catapult and
- perhaps legendary - a mirror system for focusing the sun's rays on the invaders' boats and igniting them. After
Syracuse was captured, Archimedes was killed by a Roman soldier.

It is said that he was so absorbed in his calculations that he told his killer not to disturb him.
