My sister had a graduation ceremony last week. I was sad because i could not attend the ceremony. I had to attend a robotic competition to represent my school. Finally, i was the runner up and received the silver medal.When i arrived home, my sister and parents had not arrived yet. I planned to make a gift for my sister, but i was confused about what i should make to surprise her. Then, i got an idea. I would make tartcake because my mom still had a sponge cake. However, i did not know how to decorate a cake. I browsed the internet for the inredients needed. Lucky for me, i had all the ingredients. I followed the instructions, I made butter cream using mixer and then add food colouring. Then, i decorated the cake. Well, it was done.A few minutes later, my parents and sister arrived. I took out the tart cake and said, “Congratulations!” Surprisingly, they also said, “Congratulations!” while bringing a box of chocolate. They hugged me and gave the chocolate to me. They knew that i was the runner up in the robotic competition. Finally, we ate the cake and chocolate together.

Snakes are reptiles (cold-blooded creatures). They belong to the same group as lizards (the scaled group, Squamata) but from a sub-group of their own (Serpentes).Snakes have two legs but a long time ago they had claws to help them slither along. Snakes are not slimy. They are covered in scales which are just bumps on the skin. Their skin is hard and glossy to reduce friction as the snake slithers along the ground.Snakes often sun bathe on rocks in the warm weather. This is because snakes are cold-blooded; they need the sun’s warmth to heat their bodies up.Most snakes live in the country. Some types of snakes live in tress, some live in water, but most live on the ground in deserted rabbit burrows, in thick, long grass and in old logs.A snake’s diet usually consists of frogs, lizard, and mice and other snakes. The Anaconda can eat small crocodiles and even bears. Many snakes protect themselves with their fangs. Some snakes are protected by scaring their enemies away like the Cobra. The flying snakes glide away from danger. Their ribs spread apart and the skin stretches out. Its technique is just like the sugar gliders.

Since the snakes are cold-blooded, they…

a)

like sucking the cool blood

b)

avoid sun-bathing to their skins

c)

live on the ground in deserted burrows

d)

require the sun’s warmth to heat their bodiesfamily decided to go to a village.

Ant-eaters are perhaps the most curious looking animals.Their long head and snout look like tubes, and they have no teeth at all. Their front legs are very strong and armed with heavy curved claws with which they break open the nets of ants and termites and then, when the insects rush out, use their long, sticky tongues to lick them up at great speed.True ant-eaters are found in the swamps and forests of central and South America. Scaly ant-eaters, or pangolins, are found in Africa and tropical Asia.Various other insect-eating animals are sometimes called ant-eaters, although they really belong to other groups of animals. One of them is the ant-bear, which lives on the plains of South and Central Africa. This has long, erect ears but short blunt claws, an almost hairless tail, yellow brown in color. Unlike the true ant-eaters, it has small teeth.

The text tells us …

a)

the story of ant-eaters

b)

the report of ant-eaters

c)

Remote sensing is the acquisition of information about an object or phenomenon, without making physical contact with the object. In modern usage, the term generally refers to the use of aerial sensor technology to detect and classify objects on Earth (both on the surface, and in the atmosphere and ocean) by means of propagated signals (e.g. electromagnetic radiation emitted from aircraft or satellites).There are two main types or remote sensing: passive remote sensing and active remote sensing. Passive sensors detect natural radiation that is emitted or reflected by the objects or surrounding area being observed. Reflected sunlight is the most common source of radiation measured by passive censors. Examples of passive remote sensors include film photography, infra-red, charge-coupled devices, and radiometers. Active collection, on the other hand, emits energy in order to scan objects and areas whereupon a sensor then detects and measures the radiation that is reflected or backscattered from the target. RADAR and LIDAR are examples of active remote sensing where the time delay between emission and return is measured, stabilizing the location, height, speed and direction of an object.

From the text we know that remote sensing…

a)

Is a way to obtain information about an object or phenomenon

b)

Does not difficult to do

c)

Makes physical contact with the object

d)

Does not make use of censorsde down because of the water in the rocks

The energy in sunlight is important for remote sensing

b)

Passive sensing is not as strong as active sensing

c)

The source of energy radiated for sensing determines whether it is the active or passive type

Ubud, 7th April 2007

Dear Barbara,

Hi there. How are things with you? It's good to know that you are doing fine in business. Have you received my postcard?

I am now sitting in my hotel room writing a letter to you about my wonderful holiday. I think this is the most wonderful holiday have I ever had. There are a lot of interesting tourist objects to visit, beautiful local art and craft, tasty traditional food, and much more. It's Thursday today. I can't believe this my last day.

I’ll never forget May 3, 1990, the dat Tien- Tien came into our lives. Ahong , the wife of my youngest brother Ajing, gave birth after a very difficult labour of five hours. We already had a name for the baby before she was born. She would be called Tien-Tien which meant ‘sweetness’.As we waited at the hospital, our joy quickly turned to grief when the attending physician announced that he could detect no signs of life in Tien-Tien. There was no breathing, no heartbeat, so he finally declared the baby dead.Ajing decide to lay the body next to the Taizi River. To outsiders, this might be strange: to us, a Chinese family with almost no money or resources, the prospect of encouraging the baby’s spirit slip away to a better world in a beautiful setting made a great deal of sense. We planned to return later to bury Tien-Tien’s remains and pay honour to her.Ajing wrapped his child in a red fl oral quilt and set off for the river. He gently laid his baby in a patch of grass along the bank of the river.A week later, while I was walking home from work, I overheard several women talking about one of her friends. They said their friend heard a baby crying and the sound came from a patch of grass along the river bank. They further explained that the baby had been placed in a local orphanage.Something inside me said it must have been Tien-Tien. Without waiting any longer, I ran to the orphanage. In the room I saw Tien-Tien in a crib covered in dirt but very much alive.

What is the best title for the text?
