How Venus Eclipse Happens
On May 16, 2010, people in most regions in the world have seen a very rare natural phenomenon. It was Venus eclipse. It was very rare amazing natural event. It was reported that the Venus eclipse will seen again in the future in 2050. Do you know how this rare Venus eclipse happens?
Well, actually Venus eclipse is like Sun eclipse. Venus eclipses occurs when the position of the earth, moon and Venus is parallel. Venus planet will slowly disappear for a moment because it is covered the surface of the Moon. Venus planet seems to move to the back side of the Moon.
The moon and planets are sharing a similar apparent path in the sky. That is why, it is not unusual for the moon to appear to pass close to Venus. In fact, the moon appears somewhere near it about once a month. However, most people don’t see these events because they are visible in the evening sky only half the time, and then only for a short period after sunset. The apparent closeness varies from month to month as well.
Note: This example of explanation text about how Venus eclipse happens is arranged from beranda-jiwa.info and earthsky.org

RECOUNT TEKS

Recount text is included in a group of narration, similar to spoof and narrative. Recount text focuses on the series of event, one event followed by the others. Commonly recount text is arranged in chronological order; whether by time or by the essence of the event itself. Read the following example of recount text which narrates a survival experience from a horror situation.

Bus was Flowing Right Behind Me
I stayed a night at Sakhuwa of Gati VDC because a landslide near Baseri had blocked the road, The next morning, I hopped onto the bus with registration number Ba 2 Kha 4013 that was on the way to Barhabise from Tatopani.
I took a seat by the doorside and remember that there were around 35 passengers, including me. The driver started the bus. A kilometer into the journey, I noticed a ditch on the road.
The driver tried to avert the ditch. Before I could know what was going on, the bus started hurtling towards the Bhotekoshi.
I had given up hope of surviving, but found a ventilator glass broken. I came out of the shattered glass and plunged into the Bhotekoshi.
The river carried me for about 35 kilometers and left me on the shallow surface. I passed out after that. The rescuers took me to a hospital when I regained consciousness.
I heard later that all except four passengers had survived. I have sustained injuries on the face, hands and other body parts. Nonetheless, I feel that surviving was my destiny.

nAratiff teks

Purpose

The basic purpose of narrative is to entertain, to gain and hold a readers' interest. However narratives can also be written to teach or inform, to change attitudes / social opinions eg soap operas and television dramas that are used to raise topical issues. Narratives sequence people/characters in time and place but differ from recounts in that through the sequencing, the stories set up one or more problems, which must eventually find a way to be resolved.

Types of narrative

There are many types of narrative. They can be imaginary, factual or a combination of both. They may include fairy stories, mysteries, science fiction, romances, horror stories, adventure stories, fables, myths and legends, historical narratives, ballads, slice of life, personal experience.

Features

• Characters with defined personalities/identities.
• Dialogue often included - tense may change to the present or the future.
• Descriptive language to create images in the reader's mind and enhance the story.

Structure

 In a Traditional Narrative the focus of the text is on a series of actions:

Orientation: (introduction) in which the characters, setting and time of the story are established. Usually answers who? when? where? eg. Mr Wolf went out hunting in the forest one dark gloomy night.

Complication or problem: The complication usually involves the main character(s) (often mirroring the complications in real life).

Resolution: There needs to be a resolution of the complication. The complication may be resolved for better or worse/happily or unhappily. Sometimes there are a number of complications that have to be resolved. These add and sustain interest and suspense for the reader.

 To help students plan for writing of narratives, model, focusing on:

• Plot: What is going to happen?
• Setting: Where will the story take place? When will the story take place?
• Characterisation: Who are the main characters? What do they look like?
• Structure: How will the story begin? What will be the problem? How is the problem going to be resolved?
• Theme: What is the theme / message the writer is attempting to communicate?

Language

• Action verbs: Action verbs provide interest to the writing. For example, instead of The old woman was in his way try The old woman barred his path. Instead ofShe laughed try She cackled.
• Written in the first person (I, we) or the third person (he, she, they).
• Usually past tense.
• Connectives,linking words to do with time.
• Specific nouns: Strong nouns have more specific meanings, eg. oak as opposed to tree.
• Active nouns: Make nouns actually do something, eg. It was raining could become Rain splashed down or There was a large cabinet in the lounge could become A large cabinet seemed to fill the lounge.
• Careful use of adjectives and adverbs: Writing needs judicious use of adjectives and adverbs to bring it alive, qualify the action and provide description and information for the reader.
• Use of the senses: Where appropriate, the senses can be used to describe and develop the experiences, setting and character:
  • What does it smell like?
  • What can be heard?
  • What can be seen - details?
  • What does it taste like?
  • What does it feel like?
   
• Imagery
  • Simile: A direct comparison, using like or as or as though, eg. The sea looked as rumpled as a blue quilted dressing gown. Or The wind wrapped me up like a cloak.
  • Metaphor: An indirect or hidden comparison, eg. She has a heart of stone or He is a stubborn mule or The man barked out the instructions.
  • Onomatopoeia: A suggestion of sound through words, eg. crackle, splat, ooze, squish, boom, eg. The tyres whir on the road. The pitter-patter of soft rain. The mud oozed and squished through my toes.
  • Personification: Giving nonliving things (inanimate) living characteristics, eg.The steel beam clenched its muscles. Clouds limped across the sky. The pebbles on the path were grey with grief.
   
• Rhetorical Questions: Often the author asks the audience questions, knowing of course there will be no direct answer. This is a way of involving the reader in the story at the outset, eg. Have you ever built a tree hut?
• Variety in sentence beginnings. There are a several ways to do this eg by using:
  • Participles: "Jumping with joy I ran home to tell mum my good news."
  • Adverbs: "Silently the cat crept toward the bird"
  • Adjectives: "Brilliant sunlight shone through the window"
  • Nouns: "Thunder claps filled the air"
  • Adverbial Phrases: "Along the street walked the girl as if she had not a care in the world."
  • Conversations/Dialogue: these may be used as an opener. This may be done through a series of short or one-word sentences or as one long complex sentence.
   
• Show, Don't Tell: Students have heard the rule "show, don't tell" but this principle is often difficult for some writers to master.
• Personal Voice: It may be described as writing which is honest and convincing. The author is able to 'put the reader there'. The writer invests something of him/her self in the writing. The writing makes an impact on the reader. It reaches out and touches the reader. A connection is made.

The following text is for questions 17 to 19.
In 1900 we began to unlock the mysteries of the atom: Max Planck launched quantum physics by discovering
that atoms emit bursts of radiation in packets. Also the mysteries of the mind: Sigmund Freud published The
Interpretation of Dreams that year. Marconi was preparing to send radio signals across the Atlantic, the Wright
Brothers went to Kitty Hawk to work on their gliders, and an unpromising student named Albert Einstein finally
graduated, after some difficulty, from college that year. So much for the boneheaded prediction made the
year before by Charles Duell, director of the U.S. Patent Office: “Everything that can be invented has been
invented.”
So many fields of science made such great progress that each could produce its own contender for Person of
the Century.
Let’s start with medicine. In 1928 the young Scottish researcher Alexander Fleming sloppily left a lab dish growing
bacteria on a bench when he went on vacation. It got contaminated with a Penicillium mold spore, and when he
returned, he noticed that the mold seemed to stop the growth of the germs. His serendipitous discovery would
eventually save more lives than were lost in all the century’s wars combined. Fleming serves well as a symbol
of all the great medical researchers, such as Jonas Salk and David Ho, who fought disease. But he personally
did little, after his initial eureka! moment, to develop penicillin. Nor has the fight against infectious diseases been
so successful that it will stand as a defining achievement of the century.
17. The passage is about….
A. The mystery of 1900’s
B. The inventions in 1900’s
C. Medical research in 1900’s
D. The invention of penicillin
E. The achievement of the century
7
18. According to the text Albert Einstein was a ... college student.
A. clever
B. very clever
C. not too clever
D. average
E. good
19. he noticed that the mold seemed to stop the growth of the germs.
The sentence means….
A. The germs can’t growth without the mold
B. The mold and the germs can growth together
C. The mold can’t growth without the germs
D. There is no relation between the mold and the germs
E. The germs can’t growth with the mold

A Geographic Information System (GIS) is a system used to gather data and incorporate it in order to store,
scrutinize, distribute, and show geographic information. GIS data displays actual world features such as elevations,
terrain, and transportation networks, in a digital format. Users can take the information for such purposes as
analyzing the digitally displayed data, mapping the data, and editing the data. A GIS will include application
software for aerial photography, surveying land, extensive geographical mapping, remote sensing, and much
more. It is often used to study global problems in an effort to find solutions much more quickly.
Recently, Geographic Information Systems have been developed to be used by the public. For instance, Bing
Maps and Google Maps are GIS applications now used by millions of people around the world. Through interactive
web mapping, the public now has access to large volumes of geographical information. Another important use of
GIS is its use when studying climate change. For example, GIS is used to study the ice melting in the Arctic.

The following text is for questions 32 to 34
I admit it: I’m a bit of a germophobe. And when cold and flu season comes around, I’m even more conscientious
about avoiding germ hot spots. I push elevator buttons and open doors with my elbow instead of my hand and
thoroughly drying my hands after washing them because germs love moisture and live longer on damp hands.
I’m convinced that’s why I don’t get sick very often, but when I do think I’m coming down with something, I
wash my hands more often so I don’t spread a bug inadvertently to those around me, and I try not to take it to
the office. I tell all my college to do the same: If you’re sick, stay home! It does your body, and your coworkers’
bodies, a world of good!
10
But I know that can be easier said than done, especially when you’re on deadline or worried about job security.
Plus, how can you tell if you are contagious, or whether going back to work will ultimately put you of commission
even longer?
32. According to the text, where the germs can live longer?
A. under the doors D. on wet place
B. on elevator buttons E. on hand
C. at the office
33. The main idea of paragraph 1 is….
A. the writer got cold and flu
B. the writer pulled the door using her elbow
C. the writer washing hands more often
D. how the writer avoiding germs
E. the writer don’t get sick very often
34. What the writer do if she get sick?
A. she watched TV D. he go to the office as usual
B. she cleaned her hand E. he went shopping
C. he laid down in her home
This text is for questions 35 to 38
Sultan Qaboos bin Sa’id al Sa’id, the 14th descendant of the Al Bu Sa’idi dynasty, is a socially and politically
active monarch, reigning for more than 40 years since he ascended to power in 1970. He has revolutionized
and modernized Oman, transforming it from a poor, isolationist nation into a land closely-linked with the African
continent and devoted to economic development, regional stability, and religious tolerance.
The Sultan has raised the Omani standard of living by building up Oman’s school system, healthcare, infrastructure,
and economy. He cites political participation as one of his major long-term goals. Within the last two decades,
he has introduced political reforms including a bicameral representative body, a basic law, universal suffrage,
and a Supreme Court. Moreover, despite Oman’s relative lack of oil and gas compared to other Gulf States,
the Sultan has invested his country’s wealth so wisely that all citizens are guaranteed free education until PhDs
(should they qualify); free healthcare; free land; soft loans for building homes; jobs and social security for the
disabled, orphans and widows. Furthermore, unlike neighboring countries, Oman has resolved all its border
demarcation issues with all its neighbors, has no foreign debt and has a Sovereign Wealth Reserve Fund of
over 30 billion Riyals (about $100 billion). Oman is thus arguably the best administrated country in the Islamic
world, if not in the whole world..
35. What does the paragraph 2 talk about?
A. Omani standard of living D. Modernisation in Oman
B. the Al Bu Sa’idi dynasty E. Economic development in Oman
C. Sultan Qaboos achievement on Oman
36. How many reserve fund does Oman have?
A. 30 billion Riyals D. 30 billion Rupee
B. 30 billion Rupiahs E. 30 billion Euros
C. 30 billion Dollars

38. We can conclude that the Omani are….
A. wealthy D. starving
B. poor E. cautious
C. happy
The following text is for questions 39 to 42
In a century that will be remembered foremost for its science and technology--in particular for our ability to
understand and then harness the forces of the atom and the universe--one person stands out as both the greatest
mind and paramount icon of our age: the kindly, absentminded professor whose wild halo of hair, piercing eyes,
engaging humanity and extraordinary brilliance made his face a symbol and his name a synonym for genius:
Albert Einstein.
Slow in learning to talk as a child, expelled by one headmaster and proclaimed by another unlikely to amount to
anything, Einstein has become the patron saint of distracted school kids. But even at age five, he later recalled,
he was puzzling over a toy compass and the mysteries of nature’s forces.
During his spare time as a young technical officer in a Swiss patent office in 1905, he produced three papers
that changed science forever. The first, for which he was later to win the Nobel Prize, described how light could
behave not only like a wave but also like a stream of particles, called quanta or photons. This wave-particle
duality became the foundation of what is known as quantum physics. It also provided theoretical underpinnings
for such 20th century advances as television, lasers and semiconductors.
The second paper confirmed the existence of molecules and atoms by statistically showing how their random
collisions explained the jerky motion of tiny particles in water. Important as both these were, it was his third
paper that truly upended the universe.
It was based, like much of Einstein’s work, on a thought experiment: if you could travel at the speed of light,
what would a light wave look like? If you were in a train that neared the speed of light, would you perceive time
and space differently?
Einstein’s conclusions became known as the special theory of relativity. No matter how fast one is moving toward
or away from a source of light, the speed of that light beam will appear the same, a constant 186,000 miles per
second. But space and time will appear relative. As a train accelerates to near the speed of light, time on the
train will slow down from the perspective of a stationary observer, and the train will get shorter and heavier.
O.K., it’s not obvious, but that’s why we’re no Einstein and he was.
Einstein went on to show that energy and matter were merely different faces of the same thing, their relationship
described by the most famous equation in all of physics: energy equals mass multiplied by the speed of light
squared, E=mc2.

A. theory of relativity
B. three papers that changed science forever

Answer questions 43 to 46 based on the following text.
But why go to the trouble of saving species and ecosystems? Countless species became extinct before humans
evolved into the dominant form of life on Earth. Habitats and ecosystems changed dramatically. Indeed, several
mass extinctions have taken place during the Earth’s history One estimate is that on average, before the advent
of the human era, an ordinary century saw 25 species die off; meanwhile, new species appeared. Why should
things be different now?
Plants provide oxygen, which we breathe, and they also help renew air tainted by industrial development. Plants
and animals provide us with food and with fibers for clothing. One might object that species used by human beings
for food and clothing are in no danger of extinction. In fact, their widespread cultivation in carefully controlled
monocultures—areas such as farms where only one species is allowed to flourish—has pushed many other
plant species to the very brink of extinction. Only 20 plant species provide the vast majority of the world’s food.
Of those, just four—wheat, rice, corn, and potatoes—feed more people than the next 26 crops combined.
Another reason to preserve the world’s biodiversity is the vast potential for new medicines that can be formulated
from compounds in plants. A recent example in the United States was the discovery that taxol, extracted from
the Pacific yew tree, is effective in treating breast and ovarian cancer. The rosy periwinkle, an unprepossessing
plant that originated in Madagascar, yields two substances, vinblastine and vincristine, that are useful in treating
Hodgkin’s disease and acute lymphocytic leukemia. The medicinal properties of plants are largely untapped;
only about 5 percent of the estimated 250,000 species of trees, shrubs, and other plants have been studied for
that purpose.

In today’s press conference ahead of Saturday’s clash against Lazio, Mourinho responded to the comments
made in recent days by AC Milan, who claimed that the gap at the top would be smaller if it hadn’t been for
Adriano’s goal in the derby, and their midfielder Massimo Ambrosini, who said that Mourinho will live to regret
saying that the Rossoneri will end the season with ‘zero titles’.
“I think it’s right to talk about a goal that some people think is dubious, but we should also talk about how many
points have been won with irregular penalties,” pointed out Mourinho. “But I prefer not to talk about it because if
I do, I will have to talk about many many other things, and it’s not worth it. In a championship with human errors,
the best always wins. We just have to wait a while longer, but there’s not long to go.”
“I have no regrets. I’m man enough to apologise to Milan if, at the end of the season, I’m wrong,” said the Inter
coach about his ‘zero titles’ taunt. “I remember Ambrosini insulting ten million Inter fans when he celebrated the
Champions League victory. Many years have passed and I have never seen him apologise. He’s a charismatic
player who has captained a great club like Milan, but I have never heard him apologise to the Inter fans, many
of whom live in his same city.”
