5. Why does the blanket keep warm at night? ( Isian singkat)
I lifted my wet woolen gloves up to my damp eyelashes and wiped the delicate
snowflakes from my eyes. I could not feel my nose and my breath was like icicles forming in
the air. I was cold. I was fed up! I wanted to go home. Mum and dad had forced me and my 2
sisters - Jenny and Mary to go for a Sunday afternoon walk in the park. I could see my
footprints in the snowy path. Like a trail of breadcrumbs in the forest showing me the way
home.

I stopped and listened to the magic around me. I could hear the wind howling like a
stray dog hungry for a yummy bone. The branches of the trees that used to whisper and rustle
had become bare, brown bones and the grass was covered with a white sparkling blanket.
Then I saw a filmy web shimmer and glimmer beneath a pale sun. My breath was like silky
soft smoke wafting up into the freezing cold air.

Suddenly there was mum with a big cup of liquid heaven. She handed it to me with
an enormous smile on her face. Here you are Jo, this will keep you warm"
I slowly sipped the delicious liquid and felt it dripping and slipping down into my tummy like
lava flowing down a mountainside. My wet woolen gloves were no longer frozen but warm.
My breath had thawed and I was no longer fed up or cold. I was happy and contented.

A space alien is someone or something that is not from planet Earth. A space
alien comes from a strange and faraway place.
 Many people say that they have seen the aliens. Some people claim to have seen
aliens and their spacecraft here on Earth. Others say that aliens have spoken to them,
touched them and even taken them for trips in their craft. However, most scientists
say that there could be no aliens, far out in space.

If aliens want to travel a long distance, they will use their spacecraft which is
usually called UFO. UFO (which stands for Unidentified Flying Object) is a
mysterious object moving through the air. People have described hundreds of
different UFOs. Some glow with lights, move incredibly fast, make sound and appear
or disappear suddenly.

Scientists are searching for aliens all the time. They use giant telescopes to detect
rays, waves and signals coming from space. If the signals go on and off in a code,
they could be messages sent by aliens.

SETI is the Search for Extra-Terrestrial Intelligence (Extra-Terrestrial means

‘beyond our planet’). Huge telescopes around the world receive light rays, radio
waves and other waves. These have traveled billions of kilometers through space.
Computers scan the signals, looking for patterns and codes that could be messages
from aliens. However, so far, SETI has found no signals that might be sent by aliens.

Water lily native to the temperate and tropical parts of the world. Most species of water
lilies have rounded, variously notched, waxy-coated leaves. They grow on long stalks that
contain many air spaces and float in quiet freshwater habitats. The stalks arise from thick,
fleshy, creeping underwater stems that are buried in the mud. Some water lilies also have
submerged leaves.
The flowers are showy, fragrant, and solitary. They grow at or above the water surface
on long stalks. The stalks are attached to the underground stems. The flowers of most
species have many stamens (male reproductive structures). Some flowers open only in the
morning or in the evening to attract insect pollinators. The fruit is usually nutlike or
berrylike. Some fruits ripen underwater until they rupture or decay, and the seeds then float
away or sink.
Water lilies provide food for fish and wildlife but sometimes cause drainage problems
