Some snakes aren't dangerous to humans but some exceptions include the rattlesnake, coral snake, water moccasin and copperhead can be very dangerous. Their bites can be life-threatening.
If you are bitten by a venomous snake, call your local emergency number immediately, especially if the area is painful , changes color or begins to swell. Many emergency rooms stock anti venom drugs, which may help you.
If possible, take these steps while waiting for medical help. You must remain calm and move beyond the snake's striking distance. First, remove jewelry and tight clothing before you start to swell and position yourself, if possible, so that the bite is at or below the level of your heart. After that, clean the wound, but don't flush it with water and then cover it with a clean, dry dressing.
You must remember not to use a tourniquet or apply ice and not to drink caffeine or alcohol, which could speed your body's absorption of venom. Don’t cut the wound or attempt to remove the venom. And don't try to capture the snake. Try to remember its color and shape so that you can describe it, which will help in your treatment.

The Good Man and The Tiger

One day, while walking along the road, a good man saw a caged tiger.

“Would you please let me out so that I may drink a little water?”, the tiger said to the man.

“Oh, no,” said the man.

“ If I open the cage you will eat me.”

“ I promise I won’t eat you, ”said the tiger.

At last the man opened the cage. As soon as he was set free he said,” I will eat you first and drink the water after my meal.”
“It wouldn’t be fair,” said the good man. Let’s ask the first tree or animal we meet. If they all say you ought to kill me I will be your meal.”

The tiger agreed, so the two walked along the road till they came to a tall tree. The good man told the tree how he had set the tiger free. ”Now the tiger wants to kill me,” he added.

“I have known men who, after resting in the shade of my leaves, tear my branches to the ground. The tiger has the right to kill you, said the tree. “Ah!” cried the tiger. “Do you hear that, friend?” Next they met a camel. After hearing the whole story the camel said that the tiger had the right to kill the man because all men are cruel. “When I was young and could carry heavy loads, I was well cared for, but now I am beaten and left without food.”
“Just wait a minute,” said the good man.

“we have still to get another answer.”

After a while they met a jackal. The man narrated the story, and the jackal stood pondering, looking very wise indeed. At last he said, “Before I can tell you what I think , show me the spot where you met.”

“I think you said you were in the cage”, said the jackal to the tiger. ”Yes, I was standing with my head turned this way’, cried the tiger jumping into the cage. He felt sure that the jackal would say he ought to do so. “Was the door of the cage open or shut?” “Of course shut and bolted, said the tiger.

“Like this?” asked the jackal as he bolted the door. The tiger found himself imprisoned again.

“This good man set you free, and you wanted to kill him for his kindness.”
Stay there forever. I will warn everyone not to open the cage,” said the jackal.

21. What can be inferred from the story?
A.    The tiger was helpful
B.     The jackal was a brilliant animal
C.     The camel had got a lot of food
D.    The man ran away after releasing the tiger

Tsunami

The Jakarta Post. Tsunami is a series of ocean waves that sends surges of water, sometimes reaching heights of over 100 feet (30.5 meters), onto land. These walls of water can cause widespread destruction when they crash ashore.

These awe-inspiring waves are typically caused by large, undersea earthquakes at tectonic plate boundaries. When the ocean floor at a plate boundary rises or falls suddenly, it displaces the water above it and launches the rolling waves that will become a tsunami.
Most tsunami, about 80 percent, happen within the Pacific Ocean's "Ring of Fire," a geologically active area where tectonic shifts make volcanoes and earthquakes common.
Tsunamis may also be caused by underwater landslides or volcanic eruptions. They may even be launched, as they frequently were in Earth's ancient past, by the impact of a large meteorite plunging into an ocean.
Tsunamis race across the sea at up to 500 miles (805 kilometers) an hour about as fast as a jet airplane. At that pace they can cross the entire expanse of the Pacific Ocean in less than a day. And their long wavelengths mean they lose very little energy along the way.
A tsunami's trough, the low point beneath the wave's crest, often reaches shore first. When it does, it produces a vacuum effect that sucks coastal water seaward and exposes harbour and sea floors. This retreating of sea water is an important warning sign of a tsunami, because the wave's crest and its enormous volume of water typically hit shore five minutes or so later. Recognizing this phenomenon can save lives.
A tsunami is usually composed of a series waves, called a wave train, so its destructive force may be compounded as successive waves reach shore. People experiencing a tsunami should remember that the danger may not have passed with the first wave and should await official word that it is safe to return to vulnerable locations.
Some tsunamis do not appear on shore as massive breaking waves but instead resemble a quickly surging tide that inundates coastal areas.
28. Why did the author write the text?
A.    To inform people about the different types of tsunami.
B.     To warn people about the dangers of tsunami.
C.     To warn people about an upcoming tsunami.
D.    To raise people' awareness about tsunami.
E.     To inform people about past tsunamis.

29. Tsunamis are usually the result of ...
A.    The sudden rise or fall of ocean floors
B.     Pacific Oceans "Ring of Fire"
C.     The awe-inspiring waves
D.    Volcanoes
E.     Landslides

A.    They come after earthquakes
B.     They are caused by volcanic eruptions
C.     They are tall, fast, forceful and repetitive
D.    They have a vacuum effect
E.     They occur suddenly

This text is for questions numbers 31 - 33.

Lately, concerns have arisen that Jakarta, the capital city of Indonesia, and its immediate surroundings are threatened to experience a clean water crisis by 2025. Clean water, which is produced by two private operators – PAM Lyonnaise Jaya (Palyja) and Aetra Air Jakarta – currently totals 18.7 m3 per second. However, by 2025, demand for clean water will reach 41.3 m3/second as the population of Jakarta is estimated to grow to 14.6 million people from 9.6 million currently (the unofficial figure is possibly much higher).

It has been reported that city-owned property developer Jakarta Propertindo (Jakpro) and city-owned developer Pembangunan Jaya will acquire a combined 100 percent stake in Palyja. If the Jakarta administration has a direct stake in the city water operators, it will increase public supervision on the local clean water industry.

PAM Lyonnaise Jaya, which manages the clean water supply in the west side of Jakarta, is a private water operator that is partly controlled by Astra International through its subsidiary Astratel Nusantara. Palyja has been active in Jakarta for about 16 years. However, last year a law suit was filed demanding that the court will annul the agreement between city water operator PAM Jaya and Palyja and Aetra Air Jakarta (Aetra) claiming that public access to affordable clean water has been hindered.

Based on information from the World Bank, Indonesia plans to achieve universal clean water access by 2019 but almost half of the population still do not have access to clean water at present.

41.    Read the following text and answer the question.

When we had a holiday last year, my family and I went to a place at the seaside and borrowed a boat from one of our friends. We sailed and finished on the sea all day.

When the sea was rough, we sailed on a small lake near the sea instead. There were not many fish in the lake, but in the sea we caught a lot with a hook, line and small pieces of bread.

When the weather was fine, we collected pieces of dried wood and fired or grilled our fish over them on the beach.

What kind of experience did the writer have in the text?

( C ). The construction of Monas proceeded in three stages. Monas was officially opened to public on 12 July 1975.The location of Monas is known as Merdeka Square.

( D ). After the Indonesian government returned to Jakarta from Yogyakarta in 1950 following the Dutch recognition of Indonesian independence, President Sukarno began to contemplate the construction of a national monument on the square in front of the Presidential Palace.

( E ) . Silaban was asked to show his design to Sukarno. However, Sukarno did not like the design as he wanted the monument to be in the form of a linga and yoni.
