Dear Paula,
Hello Paula, how are you? It’s been a month since I last heard from you. Well, I just
wanted to tell you that I was in a hospital last week. According to the doctor; I was infected
by dengue fever.
At first, I felt my body became weak then I fainted when I was studying in the
classroom. Then, I was taken to the hospital because of the high fever.
 At the hospital, I was brought into the emergency unit. The doctor immediately gave
some treatment. Finally, I had to stay there for one week. Everyday the doctor kept me on a
drip.
At the seventh day, my condition was getting better. After the final check, the doctor
gave me permission to go home. Now, I’m okay and because of my illness, I am now more
careful about keeping in my house clean especially my room, I don’t want to get the same
illness again.
OK, I think that’s all from me, write to me soon ok?
Regards

Nadira

Soal explanation text

A flood is an overflow of an expanse of water that submerges land. In the sense of “
flowing water”, the world may also be applied to inflow of the tide. Flooding may result from
the volume of water within a body of water, such as a river or lake , which overflows or break
levees, with the result that some of the water escapes its unusual boundaries.
While the size of a lake or other body of water will vary with seasonal changes in
precipitation and show melt, it is not a significant flood unless such escapes of water
endanger land areas used by man like a village, city or other inhabited area.
Floods can also occur in rivers, when fl ow exceeds the capacity of the river channel,
particularly at bends or meanders. Flood often cause damage to homes and businesses if they
are placed in natural flood plains of rivers. While flood damage van be virtually eliminated
by moving away from and other bodies of water, since time out of mind, people have lived
and worked by the water to seek the sustenance and capitalize on the gains of cheap and easy
travel and commerce by being near water. That humans continue to inhabit areas threatened
by flood damage is evidence that the perceived value of living near the water exceeds the cost
of repeated periodic flooding.
1. What should people do to avoid the loss of their business caused by the flood?
A. Live and work by the body of water
B. Place in natural flood plains of rivers
C. Inhabit the areas threatened by flood damage
D. Move away from rivers and other bodies of water
E. Seek substance and benefit from cheap and easy travel commerce
2. What is the main idea of the third paragraph?
A. People do not live by the river for some reasons
B. Floods can be found at every bend and meander of a river
C. It is wise for people to leave the flood areas for the safety reason
D. Floods happen when rivers fl ow over their capacity of waterway
E. People prefer abandon the areas near the river because of the threat of floods

3. “……..,it is not significant flood unless such escapes of water endanger land areas used by
man…..” (paragraph 2) The underline word is closest in meaning to….
A. Ordinary
B. Intensive
C. Sufficient
D. Important
E. Expensive
All human beings eat food and make use of the chemical energy in it, so do all other
animals. Perhaps you wonder where all that chemical energy comes from. Why doesn’t the
food all get used up?
The answer is that new food is being grown as fast as old food is used to. It is the
green plants that form the new food. Animals either eat the plants or eat other animals that
have eaten plants.
The green substance of plants is chlorophyll. Chlorophyll can absorb sunlight. When
it does so, it changes the energy of the sun into chemical energy. The chemical energy present
in sunlit chlorophyll is used to combine dioxide in the air with water from the soil. Starch and
other complicated compounds are formed. These are high in chemical energy obtained from
the sunlit chlorophyll.
They make up the food on which mankind and all other animals live. In the process of
forming this food, some oxygen atoms are left over. These are given off into the air by the
plants. The whole process is called photosynthesis.
Thus, plants use sunlight to from food and oxygen to from carbon dioxide and water
again. Plants change the sun’s energy into chemical energy. And animals change the animal
energy into kinetic and heat energy.
4. The text is about ....
A. The process of changing chemical energy
B. The formation of carbon dioxide
C. The green substance of plants
 D. The process of photosynthesis
E. The use of chemical energy

5. What will happen when the chlorophyll absorbs sunlight? It will ....
A. Change heat into kinetic energy
B. Form complicated compound
C. Make use of heat energy
D. Change kinetic energy into chemical energy
E. Change the sun’s energy into chemical energy
