An eagle was chasing after a hare for her dinner. The poor little hare did not know what to do, so when
he came across a beetle, the only other animal he saw he begged it for help.
The beetle stood between the hare and the eagle and asked the eagle to spare the hare’s life. The eagle
brushed off the beetle. In her opinion, the beetle had nothing impotan to say because he was so small
and ate the hare in front of the beetle.
From that point on the beetle hunted out the eagle’s nest, climbed into it and pushed her eggs out the
ground so that they would break. The eagle went to Zeus for help. Zeus allowed the eagle to make a
nest on his lap so that he could protect the eggs himself.
The tiny beetle made a gross dung pellet, flew over Zeus’s head and drooped it on him. Without thinking
Zeus stood up to brush the pellet off and let the nest fall to the ground, breaking all of the eggs. Since
that day, the eagle does not nest during the beetle season.

trying.”

saw his friend drowning in the milk and felt very sorry.
He kept moving his legs to try to keep afloat. Soon this had a churning effect and a thick layer of cream
fat was formed on the mils’s surface. With great effort, the mouse climbed the creamy layer and jumped
out to safety. The mouse realized that God helps those who help themselves.

Last week I had a task from my teacher. We had to form groups, and then visit some sick people in a
hospital. After that, we had to make a report about our visit. I decided to form a group with Sinta, Maya
and Arnold. They are all my close friends.
We dicided to carry out the ask on Saturday, the day we went home early. Although our teacher didn’t
ask us to bring anything for the sick people, I thought that it would be good to give them something.
Shinta suggested that we buy fruits by sharing the cost. All agreed with the idea. Maya was the one who
bought the fruits because her house is near a fruit stall.
The day came. At the hospital, we first visited an old women who was alone. Her name was Mrs.
Hendarto. She looked happy when we introduced ourselves. She told us that we reminded her of her
grand children, who now live abroad. I was curious why an old women like her, from a rich family, was
left alone. It seemed that she understood my curiousty. She told us that her sons and daughters were
busy working, so the only chance they had yo visit her was on the evening or at night.
We were about to leave when she said “thank you” many times for our attention and hoped we would
visit her again. We felt happy.
The second person we visited was a man in his thirties. His name was Mr. Charaka, and he had diarrhea.
He was with his wife. At the beginning, they looked at us curiously. However, his attitude changed after
we introduced ourselves. Mrs. Charaka was very friendly, I thought. My friends and I talked about many
things with her. Finally, when we were about to leave, she gave us her phone number and asked us to
visit them at their house. She said that her husband would be discharged the next day.
We were happy to have visited the two people, Mrs. Hendarto and Mr. Caraka. Our visit to the hospital
gave us meaning to life.
14. Who suggested that the group should bring fruits for the sick people?
A. Shinta C. Arnold
B. Maya D. The writer
16. “… so the only chance they had to visit her was in the evening or at night.” (paragraph 3)

B. Mrs. Hendarto’s parents
C. Mrs. Hendarto’s children
D. Mrs. Hendarto’s friends
Last Sunday, I had a holiday in Australia. I visited a marine park called Sea World, which is as
surfers Paradise near Brisbane. It is Australia’s largest marine park. Truly, I had a wonderful
day there.
The first thing I saw was the Oceanarium. It is place where visitors can watch all kinds of
fish and animals underwater. There were huge turtles, sharks and beautiful tropical fish. The
most exciting thing was watching a man feeding the sharks. He wore a special diving suit.
Then, I watched the performing animals. The show was in a big outdoor swimming pool.
There were killer whales, dolphins and sea lions, and they did all kinds of fantastic things in
the water. One of the girls in the show rode about the pool on the back of a big turtle.
After the show, I had lunch. There were several big restaurants at the park and I had lunch in
a restaurant that was shaped like a ship! Then, I watched a wonderful water-ski show which
was held on a lake.
There were lots of things to do at the park. There was lake cruising, a train ride, a big
water slide, swimming pools and an incredible roller coaster called the corkscrew because it
goes through three lops upside down. But I didn’t go on the roller coaster. I wish I could do it
next time.
a. On a lake
c. In the Oceanarium
(Paragraph 5)
a. Ordinary
b. Impossible
c. Imaginative
d. Extremely good
I have an exciting experience visiting Raja Ampat. It is a famous island located off the north
west tip of Bird's Head Peninsula on the island of New Guinea, in West Papua Province. It is
well known as a diving heaven for people around the world.
Raja Ampat covers a very wide area of land and sea, where many types of corals, coral fish
and mollusks live. It makes Raja Ampat the most diverse living library for world’s coral reefs
and underwater biota.
Besides that, Raja Ampat has a beautiful scenery, especially of its underwater corals and
beach. Under the water of Raja Ampat Island, I can see many natural coral reefs never
touched by humans. I can also find many fishes of various colors and types. They usually hide
between the coral reefs to take a rest or breed. In addition, I can explore many war planes
and ships sunk in World War II.
There is also another thing that I can also enjoy besides the underwater scenery. I can meet
many fishermen around the beach, some of whom become the tourist guides for the foreign
tourists. The fishermen are very friendly and they will offer you “Pinang” (betel nuts) or some
sweet candies.
D. Raja Ampat is the home for beautiful underwater corals and beach
C. It does not provide the tourists any guides for the tourists.
D. It becomes the home for the various corals, fish and mollusks.
I had a bad experience when I did shopping because of the shop assistant’s fault. However,
the security of the shop really embarassed me. He accused me of stealing a pair of blue jeans.
That was a Sunday afternoon. I went to a fasion shop with my friends. I chose a pair of blue
jeans to buy and paid for them at the cashier. Unfortunately, the shop assistant was careless.
She forgot to take the censor clip on the blue jeans. So, when I left the shop, the detector
beeped. The security officer shouted at me, “Hey, you! Stop!” Then he took me to the
manager’s room.
After examining, the security officer and the manager realized that it was not my fault. They
said they were very sorry about what had happened. Finally, the manager asked me to take
one piece of clothing for me.
10. “They said they were very sorry about what had happened.” (paragraph 3)
Fungi used to be considered as a part of the plant kingdom, but they are now though to be
quite different.
The main part of the fungus is a mass of tiny thread called mycelium. Fungi live on the
other organic matter in the soil. Fungi are the most important agent in the breakdown of
dead plant and animal material, recycling it so that plants can use the nutrients. Fungi live in
damp areas on in water because they have no method of preventing their fragile threads
drying out. They cannot survive dry atmospheres. There are around 50,000 species of fungi
and they include yeast, rusts, smuts, mildews, mould and mushrooms.
e. importance of fungi
3. Which one of the following sentences is NOT TRUE according to the text?
4. “……they have one method of preventing their fragile threads drying out”

legs, huge sides and backs, large hanging ears, a small tail, little eyes, long white tusks and
above all it has a long nose, the trunk.

by its trunk and can squirt it all over its body like a shower bath. It can also lift leaves and
puts them into its mouth. In fact the trunk serves the elephant as a long arm and hand. An
elephant looks very clumsy and heavy and yet it can move very quickly.

Birds belong to a class of warm blooded vertebrate animals with feather covered bodies.
Next to the mammals, birds are the most important group of land-living vertebrates. All birds
have feathers, although in some types, particularly those that can not fly, the normal
structure of the feathers may be much modified and be downy, woolly, or straw like. The
forelimbs of birds are modified into wings. The bony part of the tail, except in the very
earliest fossil birds, is very short, and the visible tail is composed of feathers only. The teeth
are absent except in some fossil forms. As in mammals-the only other group of warm blooded
animal-the circulation is highly perfected so that there is no mixing of arterial and venous
blood, but the arrangement of veins and arteries by which this is accomplished, is different in
the two groups. Birds have keen hearing, although they have no external ears. The sense of
sight also is very keen, but the sense of smell is weak or lacking, except in a small few
vultures and other birds.
9. The passage is about the …… of birds.
b. Definition d. Classification
10. From the text we can conclude that both birds and mammals have …….
b. Wings d. Tails
12. “Birds have keen hearing, although they have no external ears”

A kangaroo is an animal found only in Australia, although it has a smaller relative, called
wallaby, which lives on the Australian island of Tasmania and also in New Guinea.
Kangaroos eat grass and plants. They have short front legs, but very long and very
strong back legs and a tail. These they use for sitting up on and for jumping. Kangaroos have
been known to make forward jumps of over eight meters, and leap across fences more than
three meters high. They can also run at speeds of over 45 kilometers per hour.
The largest kangaroos are the Great Grey Kangaroo and the Red Kangaroo. Adults
grow to a length of 1.60 meters and weigh over 90 kilos.
Kangaroos are marsupials. This means that the female kangaroo has an external
pouch on the front of her body. A baby kangaroo is very tiny when it is born, and it crawls at
once into this pouch where it spends its first five months of life.
13. Kangaroo’s smaller relative is found …..
b. only in Australia

Spiders are not insects. They are arachnids. Arachnids have four pairs of legs but only two
body parts. Insects have three pairs of legs and three body parts. Spiders have two to four
pairs of eyes. They can see extremely well.
Spiders eat small insects such as flies and mosquitoes, and sometime bit people. When a
spider bites insect, it does not kill the insect immediately. Instead a special poison passes
through its fangs, and this poison paralyzed the body to the unlucky insects.
Most spiders make their own homes. They do this with a special substance produced by their
bodies. In the corner of some rooms it is possible to find a spider’s web where the spider is
waiting for its next dinner guest.
b. fangs d. quest
c. Spiders are not insects but arachnids that can see quite well
e. Spiders are not in their web to wait for the small insects to eat

I'm the first child in my family. My parents have four children. I go to SMP 3 Sape, Bima. Now,
I'm in the ninth grade. My hobby is cooking, that's why I can cook many kinds of Bimanese
traditional dishes. Besides, I also like to play Kareku Kandei. It's a traditional music performance
from Bima. Girls pound their pestles to a mortar to create harmonious sound. Kareku Kandei is
usually performed on special events such as Independence Day, Kartini Day, etc.
