Langkat, N Sumatra (ANTARA News) - A Sumatran Tiger
(Panthera tigris sumatrae) reportedly trespassed and preyed on
cattle belonging to the local residents of a village in Bahorok Sub-
district, Langkat District, North Sumatra province.
Head of Section V of Bahorok Sub-district Pabel Turnip
stated here on Tuesday that the local residents have filed a report
regarding the tiger attack.
Due to the dwindling numbers of natural prey in its habitat
in Mount Leuser National Park, the tiger was aggressively hunting
for food in the local village. "In fact, the local people are raising
their cattle in the area within the tigers hunting corridor, and this
has driven the tiger down to the residential area in Bahorok,"
Turnip explained. Moreover, Turnip urged the local residents to
change their cattle-raising method by avoiding the tiger’s zone to
prevent further incidents.
Therefore, the local authority has set up a restriction zone
for local residents in the area around the tiger’s habitat. In the
meantime, a local ranger Jhon Purba said that he and his unit
were armed to stand guard round-the-clock at the location.

Cook, James, 1728–79, English explorer and navigator. The son of
a Yorkshire agricultural laborer, he had little formal education.

Channel (1760) and the coasts of Newfoundland and Labrador
(1763–67). Cook was then given command of the Endeavour and
sailed (1768) on an expedition to chart the transit of Venus; he

explored the Antarctic Ocean and the New Hebrides, visited New
Caledonia, and by the observance of strict diet and hygiene
prevented heretofore the scourge of long voyages. Cook sailed
again in 1776; in 1778 he visited and named the Sandwich Islands
(Hawaii) and unsuccessfully searched the coast of NW North
America for a Northwest Passage. On the return voyage he was
killed by natives on the island of Hawaii.

The following text is for question 26 to 28
Many hundreds of years ago in a small Italian town, a merchant
had the misfortune of owing a large sum of money to the
moneylender. The moneylender, who was old and ugly, fancied the
merchant's beautiful daughter so he proposed a bargain. He said
he would forgo the merchant's debt if he could marry the
daughter. Both the merchant and his daughter were horrified by
the proposal.
The moneylender told them that he would put a black pebble and
a white pebble into an empty bag. The girl would then have to
pick one pebble from the bag. If she picked the black pebble, she
would become the moneylender's wife and her father's debt
would be forgiven. If she picked the white pebble she need not
marry him and her father's debt would still be forgiven. But if she
refused to pick a pebble, her father would be thrown into jail.
They were standing on a pebble strewn path in the merchant's
garden. As they talked, the moneylender bent over to pick up two
pebbles. As he picked them up, the sharp-eyed girl noticed that he
had picked up two black pebbles and put them into the bag. He
then asked the girl to pick her pebble from the bag.
The girl put her hand into the moneybag and drew out a pebble.
Without looking at it, she fumbled and let it fall onto the pebble-
strewn path where it immediately became lost among all the
other pebbles.
"Oh, how clumsy of me," she said. "But never mind, if you look into
the bag for the one that is left, you will be able to tell which pebble
I picked." Since the remaining pebble is black, it must be assumed
that she had picked the white one. And since the moneylender
dared not admit his dishonesty, the girl changed what seemed an
impossible situation into an advantageous one.
26. The story is mainly about.....
A. A misfortune merchant and his daughter
B. A merchant and a wicked moneylender
C. A clever girl and a false moneylender
D. A merchant’s debt to a moneylender
E. White and black peebles
27. The merchant’s daughter was force to accept the
moneylender’s bargain because...
A. She loved the moneylender
B. She was afraid of the moneylender
C. She didn’t want the moneylender hurt her father
D. She wouldn’t be able to pay her father’s loan
E. She didn’t have another choice, but agreeing the
bargain
28. Based on the story, we can learn that....
A. Our good deeds will repay us with good
B. We should do everything to the fullest
C. We should fight agains moneylender
D. We should use our brains to achieve our dreams
E. Every problem, even the most complex one, has a
solution
The following text is for question 29 to 31
All packaged foods come with a nutrition label meant to provide
you with the information necessary to know exactly what you're
eating. Understanding what's in the foods you eat helps you make
healthier choices. Checking food labels also makes it easy for you
to compare the nutrient content of different options. A healthy
diet is crucial throughout your lifetime and paying attention to
nutrition labels is a good step toward improving your overall diet.
The nutrition label provides key information such as serving size,
calories, total fat, saturated fat, cholesterol, protein, carbohydrate
and vitamin content. The label also contains a list of the
ingredients. This information helps you stay on track with your
daily targets. It also helps you avoid certain ingredients if you
have food intolerance or are following a diet that excludes certain
components, such as dairy.
Checking nutrition labels so that you know what and how much
you're eating plays a central role in being able to cut back on your
intake. It's recommended that you cut back your sodium intake to
less than 2,300 milligrams per day and your intake of added sugar
and saturated fat to no more than 5 to 15 percent of your daily
calories, according to the Dietary Guidelines for Americans 2010.
Check food labels for guidance as to how to reach your goal of
cutting back on these components.
Last, checking food labels for the fiber content plays a role in
helping you increase your intake. For instance, not all brown
breads contain rich amounts of fiber, and some manufacturers use
coloring to make bread look healthier, so it's crucial to read the
label.
It's crucial to determine your nutrition goals first, so that you can
make the best use out of food labels. For example, if you're
3
overweight, comparing the calorie content of various options
allows you to choose a low-calorie, nutritious item to stay within
your daily calorie goals. The information on serving size is
particularly important since the nutrient information listed on a
label is often for more than one serving. Another example is if you
have a chronic condition. For instance, if you have high blood
pressure, it's crucial to pay attention to the sodium content.
29. Which of the following is the best title for the text above?
A. What are listed on a food label?
B. How to read food labels
C. Why is reading food labels important?
D. What are the disadvantages of packaged food?
E. Why should we consume nutritious food?
30. How much sodium should we consume per day?
A. 2.3 grams D. Less than 23 grams
B. Less than 2.3 grams E. More than 23 grams
C. More than 2.3 grams
31. The writer suggest that we should.....
A. Consume food with low calories
B. Pay attention to nutrition labels
C. Consume brown bread only
D. Ask others to read a nutrition label
E. Consume sugar more than 15 grams per day
The following text is for question 32 to 34
A flare is defined as a sudden, rapid, and intense
variation in brightnes. A solar flare occurs when magnetic energy
that has built up in the is suddenly released. radiation is emitted
across virtually the entire, from radio waves at the long end,
through emission to and at the short wavelength end.
The amount of energy released is the equivalent of
millions of 100- hydrogen bombs exploding at the same time! The
first solar flare recorded in astronomical literature was on
September 1, 1859. Two scientists, Richard C. Carrington and
Richard Hodgson, were independently observing at the time,
when they viewed a large flare in As the magnetic energy is being
released, particles, including, and heavy, are heated and
accelerated in the solar atmosphere. The energy released during a
flare is typically on the order of 10 27 per second. Large flares can
emit up to 1032 ergs of energy. This energy is ten million times
greater than the energy released from a volcanic explosion. On the
other hand, it is less than one-tenth of the total energy emitted by
the Sun every second.
There are typically three stages to a solar flare. First is
the precursor stage, where the release of magnetic energy is
triggered. Soft x-ray emission is detected in this stage. In the
second or impulsive stage, protons and electrons are accelerated
to energies exceeding 1. During the impulsive stage, radio waves,
hard x-rays, and gamma rays are emitted. The gradual build up
and decay of soft x-rays can be detected in the third, decay stage.
The duration of these stages can be as short as a few seconds or as
long as an hour.
32. What is the text about?
A. The definition of a flare
B. The types of stages of solar flare
C. The amount of solar flare energy emission
D. The general characteristics of solar energy
E. The explanation on how a solar flare happens
33. The greatest energy is emitted by.....
A. The sun D. An electromagnetic wave
B. A large solar flare E. A volcanic explosion
C. A strong earthquake
34. The energy of solar flare is.....the energy of volcanic eruption
A. Similar to
B. 5,000,000 lesser than
C. 5,000,000 times greater than
D. 10,000,000 lesser than
E. 10,000,000 times greater than
