I have a hamster named Scruffy. I got him from a pet shop in the mall. I named
him Scruffy because he always scratched his cage.
Since the first time I got Scruffy, I have fallen in love with him. He is a nice
hamster. I put a wheel on his cage. He loves to exercise with it. He often sleeps all
day and runs on his wheel all night. That is the one I don’t like. It makes me lonely
when he sleeps all the time. But I can’t do anything because I know that hamster is
nocturnal.
I spend my spare time with Scruffy. I talk about anything to him. I feel that he
could understand me.
One day, I got confused because I lost my bicycle key. I tried to find it
everywhere, but I couldn’t find it. I got tired and sat on my bed. I talked to Scruffy.

The most exciting place I ever visited is Venice. It is a city in northern Italy. It
has been known as the ”Queen of the Adriatic”, City of Bridges”, and The City of
Light”. The city stretches across 117 small islands in the marshy Venetian Lagoon
along the Adriatic Sea in northeast Italy.
Venice is world famous for its canals. It is built on an archipelago of 117
islands formed by about 150 canals in a swallow lagoon. The islands on which the
city is built are connected by about 400 bridges. In the centre, the canals serve the
function of roads, and every form of transport is on the water or on foot.
You can ride gondola there. It is the classical Venetian boat which nowadays is
mostly used for tourists, or weddings, funerals, or other ceremonies. Now, most
Venetians travel by motorized waterbuses which play regular routes along the
major canals and between the city’s islands. The city has many private boats. The
only gondolas still in common use by Traghetti, foot passengers ferries crossing
the Grand Canal at certain point without bridges.

It began one afternoon, when I visited my grandmother for lunch. By the time I
went home she had booked me a ticket to the neighboring island of Lombok for
her friend’s funeral. Couple of days later, I found myself sitting inside a propeller
plane for the first time. To my surprise, the roads were big and clean. I mean

knew his island well. Every my curious question I asked him, he could answer. It
felt like we had Wikipedia as a driver.

tourist, but locals. However, I experienced unexpected thing a lady tried to sell
cheap batik on a deserted beach for Rp.200.000 (USD$20). My granddad almost
bought it out of pity, but my grandma dragged him out of it. As he turned his back
on her, the lady said okay! Rp.15.000 (USD$1.50). What a difference! But
eventually, being the kind-hearted person my granddad is, he bought 5 pieces.

Read the text and answer questions 36 to 39

A super cell thunderstorm is similar to a single cell storm and tornado in that it has
a single main updraft. However, unlike the letter it is phenomenally strong,
reaching estimated speeds of 240-280km/h (150-175mph). It is so strong that it can
easily upturn cats, uproots trees, and even destroy entire buildings.

The main difference between a supercell storm and other types is the presence of
rotational energy. This causes the updraft to rotate (referred to as a’mesocyclone’),
and helps to generate extreme weather in the supercell’s vicinity. This can include
immense rain showers, massive two-inch-wide hail and violent tornadoes.

Supercells are classified into two types, low-precipitation and high precipitation.
The former supercells tend to formulate in arid climates, such as the high plains of
the United States, while the letter are often found in moist climates closer to the
Earth’s equator. Regardless of types, supercells form when winds coming in from
various differing directions cause a rotational energy to be generated. This helps
formulate an updraft and from that, precipitation is produced.
Interestingly, however – and the reason why this image is so amazing –
precipitation tends not to fall back down through the supercell’s updraft when
generated, instead being carried many miles downwind. Here, though, supercell is
depositing a huge torrent of rainfall directly through the updraft.

The banded krait is usually found in flat and highly areas. However this snakes
have also been discovered at heights of 2300 meters. The snakes inhabit open
areas, field, grass landscapes and forest. They usually live in a place where there is
water. But these animals also can be found in areas in the south of Thailand, where
there was no water nearby.
The snakes avoid sunlight. If they are exposed to the sun, they will move wildly
and hide their head under the body loops or try to run to a dark place. During the
day they will be in damp and cool hiding places, like under the fallen down trees,
in rotting stumps, or under stones. These snakes are active at night. During the day,
the banded kraits are extremely weak; so someone can even take them out of
