The education system in Indonesia consists of years of elementary or grade
school, three of junior high school, three of senior high school, and several more years of
university or other higher education. Some kids also have one or two years in
kindergarten before they start elementary school, but this not compulsory.
In Australia, it is generally one year in ?kindergarten, then the next seven years
are spent studying in elementary school, or what they call primary school. Finally, they
study for six years at high school. After graduating they also have various option of
further education.
School in Indonesia, except kindergarten usual1y starts at 7 a.m. and finish
around 3.00 p.m. with two breaks at around 9 a.m. and 11 a.m. which last for 15 minutes
each. However in Australia, they start at 8.40 a.m. and finish around 3.00 p.m. with two
breaks. 'At about 10.30 a.m. is the break for lunch. Saturday and Sunday are holidays. In
Australia, the second and the third year high school students are allowed to choose their
own subjects instead of taking twelve or thirteen compulsory subjects like Indonesian
students have to do. Australia high school students only have five or six subjects that they
want to learn and stick to them.
In Indonesia, students in their second year of senior high school also have
freedom to choose science program, social studies, or language program. However, our
choice of subjects are yet not definite as what Australian students have because we still
have subject outside of choice of program. On the other hand, in Australia, the subjects
are chosen purely in the interest of career paths they wish to take. If a student wants to be
a doctor, for instance, the classes that he is required to take are Biology, Chemistry,
Mathematics, and English. He doesn't have to trake social studies or language classes. In
this way it is good because the students would know much about the field.
In Indonesia, forty to fifty students have a class of their own and the teachers
come to the class every hours-change to the time-table. However, in Australia the
teachers have their own classroom, so the students have to move from one to another
every hour. In Australia the common number of students in one class is twenty-five.
Class time itself on average, forty five minutes per lesson as it is in Indonesia.
In university, there is much more freedom since the students only take the class
that they want to take. University students don't have to sit down in a class for six hours
seven straight hours. Instead they only have to go to the classes they take. Basically
studying in university is about the ability to learn by yourself. The library is an important
aspect for university students, and so is the group study.
1. When do the students generally have more freedom to choose the subjects?
A. In Kindergarten D. In Senior High School
B. In Elementary School E. In university
C. In Junior High School
2. Where should the kids usually study before they start the elementary school?
A. University
B. High School
C. Kindergarten
D. Senior High School
E. Primary School
3. The following are the differences between the education system in Indonesia and
Australia, except.........

The Family Life Cycle
Most people agree that a family has an important role. Our family gives us daily
love and care. They lose us from when we are babies. They teach us to love and help one
another. When we are grown up, they teach us how to take our own responsibilities.
They, even, in the day of our death, take care of our body and pray for us.
If we think of a family as a group to which people belong from birth until death,
then we must think in terms of change. People are changing over times. Each person is
first a baby, then a toddler, then a school-aged boy or girl, a teenager, a newlywed, a
parent, and finally a grand parent. The nuclear family also changes. First, they are just the
husband and wife. Then they become parents with children. After adult children leave
home, the parents are just husband and wife again. When the family is thought of in this
way, the differences are called "the family life cycle".
The first stage in the family life cycle begins with marriage. In this stage the
family consists of the husband and wife. They rent, or build a home, learn how to manage
their money and how to combine their jobs with managing a house.
The next stage in the family life cycle centres around school-aged children and
teenagers. By this time the father and mother are well settled into their employment. In
this stage, children's lives are no longer limited to home and day-care centre. The children
attend school and belong to clubs with other boys and girls.
In the teen years, boys and girls begin going to mixed parties and dating. They
move further away from their parents and toward more management of their own lives.
This association between boys and girls begins a new relationship that leads towards
marriage. With marriage a new family is formed and the family life cycle begins again.
While children are gradually learning how to live independently of their parents,
the parents have to live independently of their children because after children leave home,
the family is again reduced to two people, husband and wife.

There is no one best way to deal with pests in agriculture. Pesticides are
commonly used, but this may cause many problems. Combining different management
operations is the most effective way to control pests.
Firstly, the chemicals in pesticides may build up as residues in the environment.
This reduces the quaility of farm's products.
As well, pests can become risistent to pesticides gradually. This means that newer
and stronger ones re to be developed.
Some pesticides affects non target animals such as fish and bees. This affects the
natural balance.
To wipe out agricultural pest completely may be very expensive. Sometimes pest
damage costs less than the mathod of control.
Finally, understanding the ecology of the area helps a lot in pest control. Natural
enemies can be used to control a pest. Pesticides that do not affect the natural enemies
should be chosen.
Therefore, integrated pest management is a safe and more effective option in
agriculture.

Why do Men Have Different Skin Colors?
People with the whitest skin colors can be found in the north part of European
continent. Those people are called the Nordic. People with the blackest skin colors can be
found in the west part of Africa. People of South East Asia have yellowish brown skin
color. However, most of human being are not white, black, or yellow. They represent
hundreds of shadow colors. Starting from those who have bright skin colors to those who
have dark brown or blackish skin colors.
What causes all the differences in human skin colors? The explanation is on the
series of chemical processes, which take place in human body and their skin. In the skin
layer there is a basic color substance which is called chromogen. The substance basically
is colorless. However, if a certain ferment or enzym affects the basic color substance, a
certain skin color will be formed.
However, if a man doesn't have the basic color substance or his/her enzym doesn't
work properly to the substance, he/she will become an albino. It is because he/she doesn't
have any pigment. This can happen to anyone on the earth surface. In Africa, as an
example, there is an albino who is whiter than a white-skinned European man.
Human skin itself, without the existence of the basic
color substance, is ivory white. But then, there is an added color, yellow, in the skin. This
color is caused by the existence of the yellow pigment in the skin. Other variety of skin
colors also exists in black color skin. It is due to the existence of the subtle granules from
the substance called melanin. Melanin has a similar color with a squid. Yet, because of
the great pile of the substance, to our vision our skin looks black.
Another color shadow can be added to the skin by the red color of the blood
which circulates all around the body under the network of skin layer.
So, human skin color depends on the amount of the four basic substances, i.e.
white, yellow, black and red. Those colors group and form a certain color impression. All
human skin colors from different nations can be formed from a combination of different
basic color which all men
have.
Sun rays have an ability to create melanin -the black pigment in our skin. That is
why people who live in tropical area have more pigment of this kind and have darker skin
colors than those who live in
other area. But if a white-skinned man exposes him/herself to the sun for several days,
his/her skin will look dark brown. It is because the ultraviolet ray of the sun creates more
melanin in the skin.

Years ago in Scotland, the Clark family had a dream. Clark and his wife worked
and saved, making plans for their nine children and themselves to travel to the United
States. It had taken years, but they had finally saved enough money and had gotten
passports and reservations for the whole family on a new liner to the United States. The
entire family was filled with anticipation and excitement about their new life.
However, seven days before their departure, the youngest son was bitten by a dog.
The doctor sewed up the boy but hung a yellow sheet on the Clark's front door. Because
of the possibility of rabies, they were being quarantined for fourteen days. The family's
dreams were dashed. They would not be able to make the trip to America as they had
planned. The father, filled with disappointed and anger, stomped the dock to watch the
ship leave-without the Clark family. The father shed tears of disappointment and cursed
both his son and God for their misfortune.
Five days later, the tragic news spread throughout Scotland- the mighty Titanic
had sunk. The unsinkable ship had sunk, taking hundreds of lives with it. The Clark
family should have been on that ship, but because the son had been bitten by a dog, they

The Sun As A Source Of Energy
As the supplies of fossil fuels-coal, oil and gas are running out, scientists have
been working hard trying to find ways of obtaining other kinds of fuel. They have
succeeded in finding one that is very efficient: nuclear fuel. However, the ores, which
produce this kind of energy, e.g. uranium ores, will eventually run out, too. Fortunately a
source of abundant energy, which is virtually inexhaustible-sunlight has been waiting for
the scientist.
The sun sends out energy equal to that produced by 10.000 million tons of coal
every second, of which the earth receives falls on one two billionth part. It is estimated
that energy, which falls on one square meter of the earth’s surface per second, can be
used to keep about seven 100-watt lamps burning. The sun’s energy is really abundant,
but only a limited amount has so far been used by man.
The sun can also be used as source of fuel for power plants. Such power plants are
still in the experimental stages. However, it is hoped that they will lead the way to a
wider use of telephone solar energy to run machines.
Solar energy can be used in telephone communications, space technology, and
farming. Solar batteries have been in experimental use for number of years to power
telephone lines. They are now being used to recharge batteries which power instruments
used in space vehicles. Scientists have also succeeded in developing solar pumps that can
raise water for irrigation.
The sun seems to be an ideal source of energy for great many uses. Yet to change
the abundant sunlight into energy is a different matter, The instruments needed to catch
the sun’s energy are still very expensive
However, once man succeeds in catching even a small part the energy, nobody
would worry about running out of fossil or uranium ores.
It lies in the hands of the scientists to make this come true.
1. Why do people worry about oil and coal as sources? Because…
A. They are decreasing in Quality.
B. They are very efficient kinds of fuel.
C. They will run out in the course of time.
D. They are inexhaustible sources of energy.
E. There are abundant fossil fuels on the earth.
2. Solar energy has been used in many different fields.
This information can be found in paragraph….

MARINE LIFE
The word ‘Marine’ comes from the Latin word ‘mare’ which means ‘sea’. Marine
life means the entire animal and plant species that live in the waters of the sea.
The geography of the seabed, the floor of the sea is not so different from that of
the land, there are hills, high mountain, valleys, rolling plains and plateaus. Below the
tide mark, the bottom of the sea slopes gently downwards to a depth of about 100
fathoms, in the form of a shelf known as the continental shelf.
On the surface of the sea there are tiny floating plants and animals, including the
eggs and young or larger animals and jellyfish, that is called ‘plankton’. The plankton is
important because a great many fish feed on it.
Several kinds of animals such as crabs, lobsters, shrimps, squids, octopuses,
mollusc (shellfish of all kinds), anemones and sponges live in the seashore. Such animals
can also be found on the continental shelf, but the animals that live in the deeper waters
are usually larger.
Seaweed’s live in the shallow water, not deeper than 50 fathoms, as they need
fairly strong sunlight to assimilate their food. In China and Japan seaweed is eaten. In
Europe careen is used for thickening soup and making jellies
The really deep sea is cold and dark because the sunlight cannot penetrate the depths. The
pressure in the deep bed is higher than in the shallow water, and the fishes are much more
fragile and delicate in appearance those from parts of the sea where the pressure is lower.
Some have large eyes and can see, but others are completely blind.
We should look on the sea as valuable source of food. Fishing industries should
know the locations of the fish they are trying to catch, and how many can be caught
without killing off the whole species.

While the Kachina were sleeping, Coyote and Eagle crept into their village stole
the Sun and the Moon, and headed into the hills. Coyote told Eagle that he wanted to
open the box containing the Sun and the Moon. Eagle said no. They must wait until their
travels end and open it with their eyes closed. Coyote grumbled. He couldn't wait to see
what was in the box.
Finally he grew so curious that he threw it open. The light of the Sun was so
bright that it blinded Coyote's eyes. The Sun and the Moon laughed and flew far away, up
into the sk, where they are today.
