The simplest kind of noise-cancelling headphones is called passive noise reduction or noise isolation. The headphones are designed so the earpieces fit snugly into your ears. No sound can escape bothering the people around you and no background noise can get in either. The Etymotic headphones shown in our top picture work this way. They have ear buds with large pieces of soft, viscoelastic foam built around them, much like foam, earplugs. You wear them by squeezing the foam, so it makes a perfect seal with your ear canal. They also come with plastic reusable earpieces a bit like the earplugs you can use for swimming.

There are various different ways of growing things hydroponically. In one popular method, you stand your plants in a plastic trough and let a nutrient solution trickle past their roots (with the help of gravity and a pump). That’s called the nutrient-film technique: the nutrient is like a kind of liquid conveyor belt—it’s constantly sliding past the roots delivering to them the goodness they need. Alternatively, you can grow plants with their roots supported by a nutrient-enriched medium such as Rockwool, sand, or vermiculite, which acts as a sterile substitute for soil.

Another method is called Aeroponics and it’s typified by a popular product called the Aero-Garden. Although the name suggests you’re growing plants in air, the roots are actually

suspended inside a container full of extremely humid air. Effectively, the roots grow in a nutrient-rich aerosol a bit like a cloud packed full of minerals.

What is the monolog about?

• A. Nutrients for plants.

• B. The growth of aerosol plants.

• C. Various hydroponic techniques.

• D. Mineral delivery techniques for plants.

• E. The function of a liquid conveyor belt for plants.

What is the role of gravity and a pump?

• A. To create ideal aeroponics.

• B. As the medium for growing plants.

• C. As the place for the plants to get sunlight.

• D. To transport the nutrient through the plant roots.

• E. As the additional medium for making plants fresher.

The water cycle is also known as the hydrological cycle. There is the same amount of water on Earth now as there was when Earth began. The water cycle is how Earth’s water recycles itself.

The cycle includes precipitation, evaporation, condensation, and transpiration. The water keeps changing from a liquid to vapor and back again. This cycle happens because of the sun’s heat and gravity.

First of all, water molecules from lakes, rivers, streams, reservoirs, and the sea get heated up by the sun and then turn into a vapor that rises into the air.

Next, these water molecules form into clouds, this is because a process called condensation occurs.

When the air and the water cool, they form drops of water which then fall to the Earth as rain. If they are frozen, they become snow or sleet.

Once the water reaches the ground, it can flow across the land until it reaches rivers, lakes, streams, or the sea. It can also sink into the ground and flow because of gravity through gaps in rock, gravel, and sand. Because of this, it reaches these bodies of water, too.

Now the cycle begins again when water is evaporated once more.

What is the monolog about?

A. Earth’s hydrological cycle.

B. Molecules that form clouds.

D. The formation process of snow.

E. The clean water treatment for consumption.

Dear Julia,

It’s been a while since we met last year. How are you now? I hope this letter finds you in the best of your health. I’m so sorry I have not been writing a letter as regularly as I should.

I will move to Surabaya to join a short term course in cooking. It may take around 4 months. This course will start next month. I was wondering if you would like to join the course with me. I know that you have talent on it. It will develop your cooking ability and support your career in the future.

If you want to join this short course, you will get new skills, meet new friends, and also receive a certificate as the sign of your accomplishment in joining the course. Besides, you will have your own dormitory to live in during the course. This is the government program, so it is free of charge. Just let me know if you are interested in joining the course. I will happily sign it up for you.

Hope to hear from you soon.

Kind regards,
