Gelatin is a protein substance that comes from

the skins and bones of animals. Most people know it as

the substance used to make a jellylike salad or dessert.
Not only is it useful in making these foods, but it is also
beneficial to the consumer because of its high protein
content. Gelatin is also commonly used in the
photographic industry and in making medicinal capsules.
The process for producing gelatin is a long and
complex one. In the processing of gelatin made from
bones, which varies slightly from that of gelatin made
from skin, the grease first must be eliminated. Then The
bones are soaked in a solution of hydrochloric acid in
order to rid them of minerals and are washed several
times in water. Next the bones are placed in distilled
water, heated to over 90 F for a few hours, placed in
fresh distilled water and then heated again at a little over
100 F. A fluid forms from this heating and it is
concentrated, chilled and sliced. Finally it is dried and
ground. In its final form, gelatin is white, tasteless and
odorless.

The food we eat seems to have profound effects on our health. Although science has made enormous steps in
making food more fit to eat. Some research has shown that perhaps eighty percent of all human illnesses are related to
diet and forty percent of cancer related to the diet as well, especially cancer of the colon. Different cultures are more
prone to contract certain illnesses because of the food that is characteristic in these cultures. That food is related to
illness is not a new discovery. In 1945, government researchers realized that nitrates and nitrites, commonly used to
preserve color in meats and other food additives, caused cancer. Yet, these carcinogenic additives remain in our food
and it becomes more difficult all the time to know which things on the packaging labels of processed food are helpful or
harmful. The additives which we eat are not all so direct. Farmers often give penicillin to beef and poultry and because
of this, penicillin has been found in the milk of treated cows. Sometimes similar drugs are administered to animals not
for medical purposes but for financial reasons. The farmers are simply trying to fatten the animals in order to obtain a
higher price on the market. Although the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has tried repeatedly to control these
procedures, the practices continue.

There are a lot of discussion as to
whether children should be given
homework or not. Is it enough for
children having time to study at school or
needing additional time in home for
study after school time ...
Some people claim that children do
enough work in school already. They also
argue that children have their hobbies
which they want to do after school, such
as sport or music. A further point they
make is that a lot of homework are
pointless and does not help the children
learn at all.
However, there are also strong
arguments against this point of view.
Parents and teachers argue that it is
important to find out whether children
can work on their own without the
support from the teacher. They say that
the evening is a good time for children to

sit down and think about what they have

learned in school.
Furthermore they claim that the
school day is too short to get anything
done. It makes sense to send home tasks
like independent reading or further
writing task which do not need the
teacher support.
I think, on balance, that some
homework is good idea but that should
only given at the weekend when children
have more time.

A natural disaster is a terrible

accident, e.g. a great flood, a big fire or
an earthquake. It usually causes great
suffering and loss of a large sum of
money. The causalities are injured or
died. Some people are homeless and
need medical care.
Floods occur when the water of
rivers, lakes, or streams overflow their
banks and pour out into the surrounding
land. Floods are caused by many
different thins. Often heave rainstorms
that last for a brief time can cause a
flood. But not all heave storms are
followed by flooding. If the surrounding
lands is flat and can absorb the water,
no flooding will occur. however, the
lands is hard and rocky heavy rain
cannot be absorbed. Where the banks
are low, a river may overflow and flood
adjacent lowland.
In many parts of the world floods
are caused by tropical storms called
hurricanes of typhoons. The bring
destructive winds of high speed torrents
of rain, and flooding. When a flood
occurs,
the
destruction
to
the
surrounding land can be severe. Whole
villages andtowns are sometimes-swept
away bay water pouring swiftly over the
land. Railroad tracks buckles and are
uprooted from their beds. Highways are
washed away.
When a building caught fire, the
firemen pitched in to help battle the
blaze. Before the pumps were invented,
people formed bucket brigades to fight
fires. Standing side by side, they formed
a human chain from the fire to nearby
well or river. They passed buckets of
water from hand to hand to be poured
on the flames.
The damage of fire did depend a
great deal on were it happened. In at
the country or a small village, only a
single house might burn down. But in
crowdedcities, fire often destroyed
whole blocks and
neighbourhoods

before being controlled.

A magazine is a periodical containing a variety of articles and general illustration of an entertaining or an
instructive nature. Magazines are designed to be of interest either to the general public or groups of people with
specialized subject matters. The essential difference between the magazine and the newspaper is a physical one: the
magazine is smaller in size and often bound in pamphlet form.
Magazine production involves teamwork. This means that many people have to work together to produce the
magazine you have in your hand. But one key person is the magazine editor. If someone has a manuscript he wants
to publish, he will send or submit it to the editor of the magazine he likes. The magazine editor, usually the editor-inchief, will read it and make recommendation so that the manuscript can be published.
Another task of a magazine editor is to consider whether the article will be part of series. Will it have
photographs or llustration ... will it be in full color, two or three colors, or black and white ... Once the decision is
made, the work of an illustrator or photographer begins. Preparing manuscripts for the magazine is hard work to do.
After everything is all right, they are sent to the typesetters. When the galleys (or typeset text) come back, they must
be carefully read. This is the job of a proofreader to find out whether or not there are mistakes in typesetting.
Corrections are made if there are mistakes.
18. What is a proofreader's Job?
A. To check the returned galleys
B. To accept or refuse a manuscript
C. To send a manuscript to the typesetter

A cigarette is like a toxin
hypermarket. You can find many kinds of
toxin in it: acetone, carbon monoxide,

when we are smoking, we put more than
4,000 kinds of toxic materials into our
body.
However, many smokers believe
that a cigarette with low tar is less
dangerous. And so is a filtered cigarette.
But the problem is one cigarette is never
enough for addicted smokers.
Another myth about smoking is

California which show that smokers
ability to thinks is lower that of nonsmokers.
Smoking is indeed a serious social

Many people say that examinations should be abolished because they are not the
best measure of students capabilities. These people believe that students can
study on their own and do better without the nagging worry and pressure exerted
by examinations.
Yet, there are persuasive reasons to show that examinations should not be
abolished. It is insufficient that teachers assign homework and correct it. Because
this is not done under supervision, they cannot be sure that it is really the work of
the students themselves. Moreover, homework is not a test of students ability.
Homework is a method of merely keeping him occupied.
Nowadays, in the hunt for jobs, students need to produce some evidence of their
capabilities. Prospective employers like to see copies of examination results. This is
the only way a students qualifications can be judged. This attitude greatly
encourages the use of examinations, since it is considered it necessary for them to
measure their capabilities.
41. Why do some people disagree to abolish the examination?
A. Exam result is the only proof of students capabilities.
B. Nobody trusts the students nowadays.
C. It is a regulation in the country.
D. It is a good measurement.
E. It is for the sake of efficiency.
Kunci jawaban ialah, A, "Exam result is the only proof of students capabilities".
42. What is the main idea of paragraph 2?
A. The examination still keeps going on.
B. The teachers roles supervise the students.
C. The homework is important for students.
D. The homework is usefulness for students.

Living in a big city has both advantages and disadvantages
On the plus side, it is often easier to find work, and there is usually a choice of
public transport, so you dont need to own a car. Also, there are a lot of interesting
to do and places to see.
For example, you can eat in good restaurants, visit the museums, and go to the
theater and to concerts. What is more, when you want to relax, you can usually find
a park where you can feed the ducks or just sit on a park bench and read a book. All
in all, city life is full of bustle and variety and you need never feel bored.
However, for every plus there is a minus. For one thing, you might have a job, but
unless it is very well paid, you will not be able to afford many of the things that
there are to do, because living in a big city is often very expensive.
It is particularly difficult to find good, cheap accommodation. What is more, public
transport is sometimes crowded and dirty, particularly in the rush hour, and even
the parks can become very crowded, especially on Sundays when it seems that
every city dweller is looking for some open space and green grass. Last of all,
despite all the crowds, it is still possible to feel very lonely in a city.
In conclusion, I think that city life can be particularly appealing to young people,
who like the excitement of the city and dont mind the noise and pollution. However,
many people, when they get older, and particularly when they have young children,
often prefer the peace and fresh air of the countryside.
