My friend Grace
His name is Grace. He lives in Nottingham, which is
a city in the UK.
He lives in a small detached house with his wife Jenny,
and their two children, Lisa and James.
He works at Debenhams in Nottingham, and he really
enjoys his job. He is a sales manager for the sports
Tes Persiapan Ujian Nasional 1 Kelas 9 SMP
headquarters of the monarch of the United
Kingdom. Located in the City of Westminster, the palace
is often at the centre of state occasions and royal
hospitality. It has been a focal point for the British
people at times of national rejoicing and mourning.
Originally known as Buckingham House, the building
at the core of today's palace was a large townhouse built
for the Duke of Buckingham in 1703 on a site that had
been in private ownership for at least 150 years. It was
acquired by King George III in 1761 as a private
residence for Queen Charlotte and became known
as The Queen's House. During the 19th century it was
enlarged, principally by architects John Nashand Edward
Blore, who constructed three wings around a central
courtyard. Buckingham Palace became the London
residence of the British monarch on the accession
of Queen Victoria in 1837.
The last major structural additions were made in the
late 19th and early 20th centuries, including the East
Front, which contains the well-known balcony on which
the royal family traditionally congregates to greet
crowds. The palace chapel was destroyed by a German
bomb during World War II; the Queen's Gallery was built
on the site and opened to the public in 1962 to exhibit
works of art from the Royal Collection.
The original early 19th-century interior designs,
many of which survive, include widespread use of
brightly coloured scagliola and blue and pink lapis, on
the advice of Sir Charles Long. King Edward VII oversaw
a partial redecoration in a Belle Époquecream and gold
colour scheme. Many smaller reception rooms are
furnished in the Chinese regency style with furniture and
fittings brought from the Royal Pavilion at Brighton and
PRIMAGAMA – 2
 from Carlton House. The palace has 775 rooms, and the
garden is the largest private garden in London. The state
rooms, used for official and state entertaining, are
opened to the public each year for most of August and
September and on some days in winter and spring.

Text for Questions 24 to 27
As a kid, I used to read a lot of story books. In one
particular book, I read a story of a bird. From then on, that
has become an integral part of my life. It described a male
bird which takes a lot of pain to build a nest and the female
bird takes shelter in it and nourishes the baby. When the bird
learns to fly, the whole family flies off to a different place
leaving behind the beautiful nest for other birds to grow their
family in it. It made me wonder. How could they so easily
sacrifice their house built with so much effort?
I used to hold my dad’s hand and go for a walk, I always
observed the surroundings. It always made me curious to
know the things that the book had taught me. I used to ask
innumerable questions to my dad but he never grew tired of
answering them.
One night, when I was deep in sleep, I got this particular
dream. I was walking miles on the endless road, totally
isolated but flanked with beautiful trees on the either side.
Fascinated by the greenery, I marched towards it only to end
up deeper and deeper into the greenery. I happened to stop
upon seeing something. It was a massive, wonderful
bungalow. I fell in love with that amazing part of art. Yeah, it
was indeed a piece of art with every nook and corner
touched artistically and lovingly. I don’t know why I felt that
it was done lovingly. May be because, things turn out to be
beautiful only when we put our love into it- just like the
delicacies prepared by mom which taste more delicious with
her love.
I explored the house only to fall more in love with it.
There was a sloping roof which matched with the greenery
around; the large central open courtyard reminded me of the
activities that might have taken place there which felt lively
even now when it is completely deserted. The chandeliers
and the beautiful interiors made me nostalgic; the small
water body that kept the house cool added to the beauty of
the house- of course, it was all dried up now. It’s really
wonderful how such things add life to the spaces which
otherwise just become structures. Such liveliness and
happening converts the house into a home. They say ‘THE
HOME IS WHERE THE HEART IS’, but now I began to feel it.
This is where my heart belongs. This is what I’m destined to
do.
When I woke up from the dream, I was clear about
everything. I realized where that mile of walk was intending
me to lead. I realized what message my dream wanted to
Tes Persiapan Ujian Nasional 1 Kelas 9 SMP
convey me. And years later, when finally my turn of choosing
my destination came, I simply closed my eyes, held that book
in my hand, pressed it against my chest and relived the
dream. When I opened my eyes, I was sure what to do. I
decided to choose the road- less traveled. Yes, I took up
architecture as my profession because this is what I am
destined to do. I wanted to do the same thing that the male
bird in the story did, to take pain in building a beautiful
house and let others stay in it. This is my dream come true
and the happiness that I derive now from this profession is
indescribable.

SIAP SELEM
Once upon a time there was a black hen named
Siap Selem which had seven chicks. Doglagan was the
youngest chick. There was also a cat named Men Kuuk
lived in the same place as the black hen which also had
many kittens. Men Kuuk frequently made strategies to
eat the black hen with her chicks. Every night Men Kuuk
with her kittens talked about the black hen. “I’ll eat the
feet, the wings is mine, no…the neck will be delicious, I
prefer the head”. Said Men Kuuk and her kittens.
One day, the fur of the six black hen’s chicks had
grown. Unfortunately, the fur of the youngest chick did
not grow yet. In a midnight, the black hen told her
chicks, “You all have to fly away from here one by one,
because if you’re still here you will be caught and eaten
by Men Kuuk!”. The flight was started from the oldest
chick.
“Buuuurrrr,,”, and Men Kuuk asked, “Black hen,
what was that?”, “that was a pecan leave”. Answered
the black hen. Followed by the other chicks.
“Buuuuurrrr,,”. And Men Kuuk asked again, “Black hen,
what was that?” “that was a bamboo leave”. Answered
the black hen.
All of the chicks had flown, but there was still
Doglagan who could not fly because he had no wings.
The black hen told him, “I’ll leave you here, you’ll be
safe, you’ll not be eaten by Men Kuuk. If one day you’ll
be eaten by Men Kuuk, you have to say “Men Kuuk,
you’ll be disgusted to eat me because my flesh is still
bitter. Later if my flesh has been delicious you’re allowed
to eat me anytime”.
Afterwards, the black hen flew leaving Doglagan. At
that time, Doglagan was alone in that place. Men Kuuk
Tes Persiapan Ujian Nasional 1 Kelas 9 SMP
heard Doglagan, “kiaaak,,kiaaakk,,kiaaak”. Men kuuk
was wondering, “why Doglagan is crying alone? Where is
his mother?”, ooohhh, it might be the pecan leave and
bamboo leave that fell yesterday as the black hen said.
Suddenly, the kittens came and wanted to eat Dogladan.
“Don’t eat me now, you’ll be disgusted to eat me
because my flesh is still bitter. Later if my flesh has been
delicious you’re allowed to eat me anytime”, said
Doglagan.
Men Kuuk trusted Doglagan and she imagined
Doglagan with thick fur. In the next day, what Men Kuuk
had imagined was true. Doglagan had thick fur and
beautiful color. It made Men Kuuk and all the kittens
came to him and wanted to eat him again. Doglagan
said, “Now, you’re allowed to eat me, but I have one
request for you. Before you eat me, you must be flying
me eleven times in order my blood will be mixed with my
flesh, that will be delicious to be eaten!”. Men kuuk
accepted Doglagan’s request, she flew Doglagan. In the
first flight Doglagan fell down to Men kuuk, so do in the
next flight. But in the last flight, “Men kuuk, now is the
last time that you have to fly me as high as possible”.
Said Doglagan. Men kuuk flew Doglagan very high. She
did not realize that Doglagan deceived her.
Eventually Doglagan flew away from Men kuuk. He
went to a forest to look for his family. Men kuuk and her
kittens had been deceived by Doglagan. Finally they had
nothing to eat.

Salar de Uyuni
It is the world's largest salt flat, at 10,582 square
kilometers (4,086 sq mi). It is in the Daniel Campos
Province in Potosí in southwest Bolivia, near the crest of
the Andes and is at an elevation of 3,656 meters (11,995 ft)
above sea level.
The Salar was formed as a result of transformations
between several prehistoric lakes. It is covered by a few
meters of salt crust, which has an extraordinary flatness with
the average elevation variations within one meter over the
entire area of the Salar. The crust serves as a source of salt
and covers a pool of brine, which is exceptionally rich
in lithium. It contains 50% to 70% of the world's known
PRIMAGAMA – 4
lithium reserves. The large area, clear skies, and exceptional
flatness of the surface make the Salar an ideal object for
calibrating the altimeters of Earth observation satellites.
The Salar serves as the major transport route across the
Bolivian Altiplano and is a major breeding ground for several
species of flamingos. Salar de Uyuni is also a climatological
transitional zone since the towering tropical cumulus
congestus and cumulonimbus incus clouds that form in the
eastern part of the salt flat during the summer cannot
permeate beyond its drier western edges, near the Chilean
border and the Atacama Desert.
Salar de Uyuni is part of the Altiplano of Bolivia in South
America. The Altiplano is a high plateau, which was formed
during uplift of the Andes mountains. The plateau includes
fresh and saltwater lakes as well as salt flats and is
surrounded by mountains with no drainage outlets.
The geological history of the Salar is associated with a
sequential transformation between several vast lakes. Some
30,000 to 42,000 years ago, the area was part of a giant
prehistoric lake, Lake Minchin. Its age was estimated
from radiocarbon dating of shells from
outcropping sediments and carbonate reefs and varies
between reported studies. Lake Minchin (named after Juan B.
Minchin of Oruro later transformed into Paleo Lake
Tauca having a maximal depth of 140 meters (460 ft), and
an estimated age of 13,000 to 18,000 or 14,900 to 26,100
years, depending on the source. The youngest prehistoric
lake was Coipasa, which was radiocarbon dated to 11,500 to
13,400 years ago. When it dried, it left behind two modern
lakes, Poopó and Uru Uru, and two major salt deserts, Salar
de Coipasa and the larger Salar de Uyuni. Salar de Uyuni
spreads over 10,582 km2, which is roughly 100 times the size
of the Bonneville Salt Flats in the United States. Lake Poopó
is a neighbor of the much larger Lake Titicaca. During the
wet season, Titicaca overflows and discharges into Poopó,
which in turn, floods Salar De Coipasa and Salar de Uyuni.
36. What is the most wondering phenomenon found in Salar
de Uyuni?
A. Salt is found at mountainous area
B. Salar is the major transport route
C. It is located at Altiplano, South America
D. It is the largest prehistoric lake ever
37. What kind of substance do the people mostly find at
Salar de Uyuni?
A. Brine
B. Salt Flats
C. Lithium
D. Uranium
38. How do the flamingos take benefit from Salar’s
existence?
A. They are protected animals
B. The hunters can easily catch them
C. They lay their eggs for survival
D. They swim and play around Lake Poopó
39. “…which is roughly 100 times the size of the Bonneville
Salt Flats in the United States.” The underlined word is
closest in meaning to ….
A. shape
B. dimension
C. weight
D. Square

The Planets
Universe consists of planets. A planet is a body in
space that revolves around a star. There are nine planets
in our solar system, and these nine planets travel around
the sun. The names of the planets are Mercury, Venus,
Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto.
Planets travel in orbits around the stars. All of the
planets of the solar system revolve in elliptical orbits. In
other words, their orbits are like large, flat circles. The
time that it takes a planet to make one revolution
around the sun is called a year.
Tes Persiapan Ujian Nasional 1 Kelas 9 SMP
The Greeks were the first people to recognize and
give name to some of the planets. Tile word planet
comes from a Greek word meaning wanderer if a person
wanders, this means that he goes from one place to
another and does not have a home. The Greeks thought
that planets “wandered” in the sky. However, modern
scientists can predict the movement of the planets very
accurately.

My First Experience to drive a car
Last year, when I was twenty years old, my oldest
brother bought a car. That was Honda jazz RS. I wanted
to know how to drive it. I persuaded my oldest brother
to teach me to drive the car. But, my brother refused my
request. He promised that he would teach me to drive
the car about three or four years later, but I still
whimpered. Finally, my brother accepted my request and
he wanted to teach me to drive a car. Three days later,
my brother and I went to the field to teach me how to

some directions. I was very nervous because that was
my first time to drive a car. One week later, my family
visited my grandmother in Bandung, about 4 hours from
my home. Because that, I was alone at home. So, I had
an opportunity to drive a car alone. I drove about 6 km

very nicely for a night’s lodging. The Dog could creep inside
and the Cock would fly up on one of the branches. So said,
so done, and both slept very comfortably.

With the first glimmer of dawn the Cock awoke. For the
moment he forgot just where he was. He thought he was still
in the farmyard where it had been his duty to arouse the
household at daybreak. So standing on tip-toes he flapped
his wings and crowed lustily. But instead of awakening the
farmer, he awakened a Fox not far off in the wood. The Fox
immediately had rosy visions of a very delicious breakfast.
Hurrying to the tree where the Cock was roosting, he said
very politely:

“A hearty welcome to our woods, honored sir. I cannot tell

you how glad I am to see you here. I am quite sure we shall
become the closest of friends.”

“I feel highly flattered, kind sir,” replied the Cock slyly. “If
you will please go around to the door of my house at the foot
of the tree, my porter will let you in.”

The hungry but unsuspecting Fox, went around the tree as

he was told, and in a twinkling the Dog had seized him.
