This text is for question number 22 to 25.
Stonehenge is a massive stone monument located on a chalky plain north of the modern-
daycity of Salisbury, England. Research shows thatthe site has continuously evolved over a period ofabout 10,000years. The structurethatwe call ‖Stonehenge" was built between roughly
5,000and 4,000years ago and was one part of a larger sacred landscape that included a massive stonemonument thatwas 15times the size of Stonehenge.
The biggest of Stonehenge's stones, known as sarsens, are up to 30 feet (9 meters) tall and weigh 25tons (22.6 metric tons) on average. It is widely believed thatthey were broughtfrom Marlborough Downs, a distance of 20 miles (32 kilometers) tothe north.
Smaller stones, referred to as "bluestones‖ (a bluish tinge when wet or freshlybroken), weigh up to 4tons and come from different sites in western Wales, having beentransported as far as 140 miles. It's unknown how people in antiquity moved them thatfar. Recent experiments showthat it is possible for a one-ton stone to be moved by a dozenpeople on a wooden trackway, but whetherthis technique was actually used by the ancientbuilders is uncertain.

The Magic Veil
A young farmer lived an impoverished existence in his little hut, but he never complained
becausethe beauty of nature was more precious to his sensitive soul than any wealth.
One day his attention was caught by a lovely smell coming from the woods. He followed the sweetfragrance until he reached a pine tree and saw, caught in the branches, an unbelievably beautifulveil, woven from rays of sunshine, beams of moonlight, and studded all over with stars. The youngman had just disentangled the veil from the tree, when there appeared a young maiden who askedfor it back. At first the young man refused, at which the unknown girl burst into tears. "I am a nymph,‖ she explained, ―and without my veil I will never again be able to rejoin my sisters.‖
‖If you really are a nymph, then you can prove it,‖ said the young man, ‖by dancing for me asonly nymphs know how to dance." So the maiden began to dance in mid-air, her veil flying roundand round the farmer, and from the veil there fell thousands and thousands of flowers.
Later, the farmer never could tell if he had dreamt it all, or if it had really happened, but from that day on the young man rejoiced even more in the beauty of nature.

half of their time in the oceans and the other half on the land. Generally, they live in the Southern Hemisphere, but it doesn‘t mean that they can live only in a cold place, because Penguins are also found in Galapagos Island, which consider to be a tropical area.
Penguins have various body size depending on their species. The largest Penguin, The Emperor Penguin, can reach the size of 1,1 m with the weight of 35 kg or more. The smallest Penguin, the Little Blue Penguin, can reach the size of 40 cm and the weight of 1 kg.

them to keep their balance when they are walking on the ground. The color of their inner body is

Last vacation, my classmates and I went camping to Mega Mendung Bogor. We left from our school early on Saturday morning. We arrived at the camping ground late in the afternoon. We built the tents next to a small river. The view was so beautiful there. The air was so fresh. When it was getting darker and colder, we built a fire camp to make us warm.
The next day, we spent our time observing plantation and insects while the girls were preparing meals. They cooked noodles and boiled eggs. In the afternoon we went to the river and tried to catchfresh fish for dinner. Unfortunately, we only got a little fish so finally we also cooked the tin food. We ate a lot because weather is very cold. At night, we held a fire camp party. We sang, danced, read poetry, played magic tricks, and even some of us performed a standing up comedy.
On Sunday morning, we packed upour things and left the camping ground. We gothome in the afternoon. We were very tired but we were really happy. It was really an amazing experience.
Why did the writer and his friends build their tents near the river?
They wanted to have a camp fire party.
They wanted to spend their school holidays there.
They arrived at the camping ground late in the afternoon.
The view was very beautiful and the air was so fresh there.

Last vacation, my classmates and I went camping to Mega Mendung Bogor. We left from our school early on Saturday morning. We arrived at the camping ground late in the afternoon. We built the tents next to a small river. The view was so beautiful there. The air was so fresh. When it was getting darker and colder, we built a fire camp to make us warm.
The next day, we spent our time observing plantation and insects while the girls were preparing meals. They cooked noodles and boiled eggs. In the afternoon we went to the river and tried to catchfresh fish for dinner. Unfortunately, we only got a little fish so finally we also cooked the tin food. We ate a lot because weather is very cold. At night, we held a fire camp party. We sang, danced, read poetry, played magic tricks, and even some of us performed a standing up comedy.
On Sunday morning, we packed upour things and left the camping ground. We gothome in the afternoon. We were very tired but we were really happy. It was really an amazing experience.
What is the author‘s intention to write the text?
To entertain the readers.
To share his personal experience.
To describe Mega Mendung in general
To inform how to get an amazing vacation

Light is a form of energy we can see when it is reflected off the surface of an object. It is
visible to the human eye and is responsible for the sense of sight. It is a form of energy we can see when it is reflected off the surface of an object.
Light waves travel through the air from place to place and do not carry matter. Light is believed to travel faster than anything in the universe. It travels at a speed of 186,000 miles per second. Light is unable to travel through solids, but it can travel through liquids and gases.
There are two properties of light, reflection and refraction. Reflection is when light bounces off a surface which then allows the object to be visible to the eye. For example, when the moon is seen in the sky, it is because the light from the sun reflects off the surface of the moon. While refraction is when a ray of light passes from a transparent medium to another transparent medium such as from air to water, it changes speed and the way it bends.
What does the text mostly tell us about?
Types of reflection
Refraction properties
The definition of light
Light and its properties

The main idea of the last paragraph is ....
a refrection is formed from the air
light is travelling through the water
there are two properties of light
The light of the is the sun light reflection
