SPACECRAFT

People had thought of building spacecraft several
hundred years ago. They had thought of going to the
moon and many other planets. Papers on spacecraft can
be found among the papers of famous scientist who
lived centuries ago. However, the craft could not be
built until after World War II.

It is not easy to build a spacecraft. A spacecraft
needs a good rocket that is strong enough to send it to
outer space. Such a motor was not developed until
1944.

A spacecraft also needs as many as rend million
very sophisticated parts. These parts are needed so that
the craft can function well when it is flying far away
from earth. These parts must have very high precision
elements. Each of them must have the right shape and
the right size. Such parts could not be mode until after
1940.

Today, spacecraft are being made all the time.
They have to be enough to carry astronauts into outer
space. What does a spacecraft look like? A spacecraft
usually consist of three rockets that are joined together.
The three rockets are called stages. The first stage takes
the spacecraft to a certain speed and then falls away.
The second stage takes it to speed twice as great as the
first, and then it also falls away. The third stage takes
the spacecraft to its top speed of more than 38,600
kilometers per hour.

Where is the place for the astronauts? It is at the
top of the spacecraft. In the nose of the third stage a
capsule. In this capsule are the astronauts and the
instrument package. This capsule is actually the
smallest part of the ship. But all sorts of very
sophisticated instruments are found into his capsule.
This little capsule is the most important part of the
ship.

MARINE LIFE

The word "marine" comes from the Latin word
"mare1 which means "sea". Marine life means all the
animal and plant species that live in the waters of the
sea.

The geography of the seabed, the floor of the sea,
is not so different from that of the land. There are hills,
high mountains, valleys, rolling plains and plateaus.
Below the low tide mark, the bottom of the sea slopes
gently down word to a depth of about 100 fathoms, in
the form of a shelf know as the continental shelf.

On the surface of the sea there are tiny floating
plants and animals, including the eggs and young of
larger animal and jellyfishes that are called "plankton".
The plankton is important because a great many fishes
feed on it. Several kinds of animal such as crabs,
lobsters, shrimp, squids, octopuses, mollucsc (shellfish
of all kinds), anemones and sponges live on the
seashore. Such animal can also be found on the
continental shelf, but the animals that live in the deeper
waters are usually larger.

Seaweeds live in the shallow waters, not deeper
than 50 fathoms as they need fairly strong sunlight to
assimilate their food. In China and Japan seaweeds are
eaten: ill europe carrageen is used for thickening soup
and making jellies.

The really deep sea is cold and dark because the
sunlight cannot penetrate the depths. The pressure in
the deep sea higher than in the shallow water, and the
fishes are much more fragile and delicate in appearance
than| those from parts of the sea where the pressure is
lower; Some have large eyes and can see, but other are
completely blind.

We should look on the sea as a valuable source
food. Fishing industries should know the location of 1
fish they are trying to catch, and how .many can be
caught without killing off the whole species.

HYDROPONICS

Hydroponics is the term used to describe the
several ways in which plants can be raised without soil.
These methods, also known generally as soilles
gardening include raising plants in containers filled
with water or any of other nonsoil mediums - including
gravel, sand vermiculite and other more exotic
medium, such as crushed rock or bricks, and shards of
cinder blocks.

There are several excellent reasons for replacing
soil with a sterilize medium. Soil-borne pests and
diseases are immediately elimated, as weeds are. And
the labour involved is reduced.

More important, raising plants in a nonsoil
medium will allow you to grow more plants in limited
amount of space. Food crops will mature more rapidly
and produce greater yields. Water and fertilizer are
conserved, since they can be reused. In addition
hydroponics allow you to exert greater control over
your plants, to insure more uniform results.

All of this is possible by the relation of a plant
with it's growing medium. It isn't soil that plants need-
it's the reserves of nutrients and moisture contained in
the soil, as well as the support the soil renders the
plant. Any growing medium will give adequate
support.

The methods of hydroponics gardening developed
over the past forty-five years can be divided into
categories defined by the medium in which the plant
are grown. In water culture, the plants are grow only in
water, or in a water and nutrient solution. Sand culture
calls for raising, plants in sterile sand, into which a
water and nutrient solution is pumped. Aggregate
culture replaces the sand, instead of using one of the
materials such as gravel or vermiculite, and retaining
the method of pumping a water and nutrient solution
into the material. Finally, there are number of
experimental or unorthodox techniques.

Hydroponics units have been used to replace the
conventional benches in a green house, and soil-borne
pests and diseases are avoided.

EBTANAS-SMA-94-11

Why is hydroponics knows as soil less gardening?

A. Plants can only be raised in soil
B. Plants can be raised without soil
C. Soil in the garden needs much water
D. Garden is not provided by nonsoil medium

THE SUN AS A SOURCE OF ENERGY

As the supplies of fossil fuels-coal, oil and gas are
running out, scientists have been working hard trying
to find ways of obtaining other kinds of fuel. They
have succeeded in finding one that is very efficient;
nuclear fuel, However, the ores which produce this in
of energy, e.g. uranium ores, will eventually run out,
too. Fortunately a source of abundant energy, which is
virtually inexhaustible-sunlight-has been waiting for
the scientist.

The sun sends out energy equal to that produced
by 10,00 million tons of coal every second, of which
the earth receives only one two-billionth part. It is
estimated that the energy which falls no one square
matre of the earth's surface per second can be used to
keep about seven 100 watt lamps burning. The sun's
energy is really abundant, but only a limited amount
has so far been used by man. The sun can also used as
a source of fuel for power plants. Such power plants
are still in the experimental stages.

However, it is hoped that they will lead the way
to a wider use of solar energy to run machines.

Solar energy can be used in telephone
communications, space technology, and farming. Solar
batteries have been in experimental use for a number of
years to power telephone lines. They are now being
used to recharge batteries which power instruments
used in space vehicles. Scientists have also succeeded
in developing solar pumps that can raise water for
irrigation.

The sun seems to be ideal source of energy for a
great many uses. Yet to change the abundant sunlight
into energy is a different matter. The instruments
needed to catch the sun's energy are still very
.expensive. However, once man succeeds in catching
even a small part of that energy, no body would worry
about running out of fossil fuels or uranium ores.

It lines in the hands of the scientist to make this
dream come true.

ELECTRICPOWERSUPPLY

The electric current supplied to your home from
the power station is alternating current, or AC for short.
AC reverses its direction of flow 100 times, every
second. It flows 50 times in one direction. AC is easier
to generate and to transmit than DC (direct current).
Another reason that AC is used for domestic power
supplies is that its voltage can changed by a device
called a transformer.

Huge quantities of electrical energy are produced
by a power station. AH this electricity must be sent out
across the country to houses, shops, and factories. To
'push' the electricity out over long distances, very high
voltages are needed. However, when the electricity
reaches it's destination, lower voltages are needed
because high voltages are very dangerous.

High voltages are 'stepped-down' by means of a
transformer, an invention of the nineteenth-century
English scientist Michael Faraday, who also discovered
the principle of the dynamo. (The dynamo can change
mechanical energy into electrical energy). The
transformer consists of two coils of wire than the other.
If AC is passed through one coil, it induces moving
lines of magnetic force.

This is turn induces an electric current in the other
coil. Suppose coil A has half as many turns as coil B,
then the voltage induced in it will be half the voltage in
coil B. in this way the voltages can be reduced. At the
same time the current can be increased.

The power supply from the power station is
stepped-down by transformers from hundreds of
thousands of volts to 220 volts for domestic use.
Houses are wired with electric circuits. Electricity
coming into the house passed through a meter, which
measures the amount of electricity used, so that the
supplier can charge for it. The current also passes
through a fuse box. A fuse protects electrical
appliances from overloading. If too much power is
taken, a wire in the fuse gets hot and melts, so breaking
the circuit and acting as a 'switch'.

POLLUTION

There many kinds of pollution. They can be
grouped into several major classifications, of which we
mention here; water pollution, air pollution, noise
pollution and radiation pollution.

Air pollution is caused by car engines and by big
factories with large chimneys through which dirty air
escapes.

Land pollution can be caused by waste or rubbish
such as paper, bottles, alumunium, scraps, junk, etc.
Because of our carelessness and laziness, our
surrounding are very dirty. They are filled with
household as well factory waste. Some waste can be
broken down by natural organisms such as bacteria.
Rubbish like this is called organic waste. On the other
hand, rubbish which cannot be broken down by natural
organisms is called in organic waste. This is more
difficult to dispose of and it makes the surroundings
very unpleasant to look at.

Noise pollution can be caused by several thins;
loud music through loudspeakers, the noise of
motorized vehicles such as trucks, buses, motorcycles,
and also aircraft. Loud noise may caused deafness. It
can affect the heart and cause nervous strain.

Radiation pollution can kill many people in one
moment. It is caused by uranium and other radioactive.
The testing of atomic weapons is feared by people in
general because atomic weapon are radioactive. These
are a few example of the different kinds of pollution in
our lives.

CASTOR FUEL AND LIGHT

The air we breathe contains the gases oxygen and
nitrogen, and small quantities of other gases. Every gas
consists of molecules of a particular substance, moving
rafidly about. The molecules are comparatively far
apart, but they fill evenly any vessel containing them.
All gases can be changed to liquids, and some even to
solids, if they are cooled down enough.

The oxygen used in factories for making a very
hot flame to cut and weld steel is sometimes stored and
carried about in the liquid state and solid carbon
dioxide, usually called dry ice, is used for keeping ice-
cream cold.

The kinds of gases used in cookers and gas fires
come from three sources. The first kind is made3 of
naptha, which is a light oil; the second is made from
coal; while the third, natural gas, is almost entirely
methane.

Geologists believe that natural gas was produced
iron carboniferous, or coal-bearing rocks. The gas rose
into the rock holes in the sandstone, and was prevented
from escaping upwards out of the sandstone by a "cap"
rock-usually a from of rock salt-which formed a dome
over the natural reservoir of gas.

In Jakarta and other big cities in Indonesia it is
common practice to use gas for cooking. Gas reaches
the houses through large underground pipes called gas
mains; and smaller pipes called service pipes lead to
the gas meters in each hose or building. The meter
records how much gas is used.

Natural and gas and gas from oil has no
distinctive smell, so an artificial smell is produced by
adding small quantities of concentrated a do rants, to
enable people to detect any leak that may occur.

Pertamina sells bottled gas under the name of
"Elpiji".

The gas is put in steel drums or cylinders. Bottled
gas is used by people who live places without a piped
supply, by yachtsmen and campers. Indonesia's role in
LNG production started in 1977 with the initiation of
the LNG facility at Bontang. About a year later the
plant at Arun also started production and exportation.

THE CENTURY'S GREATEST MAN OF
SCIENCE

In 1894, when Albert Einstein was 15, his father
lost money and could not support him any longer.
Other boys would have left school and stopped
studying. Not Albert. He left school for sometime, but
he later managed to go to a better school, the
Polytechnic in Zurich, Switzerland.

On leaving the Institute he discovered that no one
would offer him the kind of job he wanted. At last he
found a suitable one at the patent office in Berne.
Einstein's task at the paten office was to make an
investigation of the new products sent to his office. The
job did not require much of Einstein's new products
sent to his office. The job did not require much of
Einstein's time, so he was able to write scientific
articles. He published these in 1905. Scientists were
surprised by what he had written. They were even more
surprised when they knew that these articles, when
could have been written by a university professor, were
actually written by an official at a patent office.

Investigations were made and it was decided that
the official should be taken from the patent office and
given a more suitable job. A few years later, Einstein
became a professor at the University of Zurich. In 1911
he taught in Prague, and later at the Polytechnic
Institute in Switzerland, where he had been a student.
Then he was requested to move to Berlin.

Einstein stayed in Berlin for 20 years, from 1913
to 1933. During that period he worked on his famous
Theory of Relativity. He gave a simple example, in
simple language, to explain the idea of relativity. A
man riding on a train drops a stone out of the window.
To the man on the train, it seems that the stone follows
a straight path as it drops. However, to a man outside
the train, the part of the stone does not seem straight; it
looks like a parabola. The theory; expands those of
Newton an Galileo, which are correct; only under
certain conditions.

Einstein made very important contributions in the

VOLCANOES

A volcano is a mountain surrounding an opening
in the earth's crust. Steam, gases, lava, ashes, and other
material are forced out almost continuously from an
active volcano. A dormant volcano, on the other hand,
erupts at long intervals. In an extinct volcano, the crater
has long been closed up with cold, solid lava.

Out earth was a sphere of gases which slowly
cooled off from the outside, forming a thin crust of
clod, solid materials, containing hot liquid, magma,
and gases. It was the very high pressure of the gases
forcing the magma through weak parts in the earth's
crust that formed volcanoes.

Most of our volcanoes are in Java. The most
active one is Mount Merapi at the north of Yogya. The
northern I-part of the crater has a high wall, so in
eruptions the lava r flows in every direction. The hot
lava slowly cools off into what is called 'lahar'.

In the rainy season, when the cool "lahar" on
Merapi's slopes is hit by rain it flows down the slopes
with great force, destroying everything in its path. The
flow of "lahar" mixed with rocks fills up the rivers,
while sand covers the fields.

The eruptions of sea volcanoes cause high waves,
flooding regions on the coasts. This happened when
Krakatau erupted in 1833. The sound of the eruption
was heard from places as far away as India and
Australia, distance of 3,600 to 4,800 km from
Krakatau. Around 18 cubic km of solid materials were
thrown up. The skies above place as far away as the
southern Pacific. Africa and South America were
darkened. 30 meter high waves flooded the coast of
Java and Lampung, sweeping away villages and 35,000
people.

However, volcanoes are also a great blessing.
Volcanoes and mountains force the clouds to rise, and
cool them off, causing them a drop the water they
contain in the from of rain. The materials thrown up by
volcanoes contain minerals needed by plants.

The higher regions, being cool, are good for
coffee, tea and other plantations. The woods on the
slopes protect the soil against erosion, while the soil
acts as a water reservoir giving water to the rivers.

WILDLIFE CONSERVATION

There is reason for the deepest concern about the
plight of Wildlife in our country. Many rare species are
threatened with extinction because of the greed of
hunters game collections. Orangutan are rarely found
in their natural habitat in the forest of Kalimantan and
Sumatra, but one may find them in zoo and private
menageries all over the world. Ruthless hunters kill
innocent elephants for their valuable ivory tusks, or
catch them alive to perform in circuses. Tiger's hides
decorate walls and floors of rich people's home in
distant countries.

If things are allowed to continue in this way, it is
feared that very soon all wildlife will disappear from
our forests. Fortunately, the government has now
imposed strict law on hunting. Some areas are
designated wildlife reserves where hunters cannot
enter. These include Ujungkulon and Pangandaran in
West Java, Merubetiri in East Java, and many more in
the other islands.

Some time ago our newspapers contained reports
of elephants which had run amok in the province of
Lampung. They had emerged from their abode in the
forest and destroyed crops and houses belonging to the
villagers. The people could not understand why the
beasts had suddenly gone wild. The strange thing was
that the animals had not come for food, because having
wrought destruction they returned to the forest. They
seemed to have come only to vent their anger. As
elephants are protected by law, the people could not
kill any of them.

The explanation for the elephants strange
behaviour is that they felt their quiet life had been
disturbed by the timber-felling projects and saw-mills
set up deep in the forest.

The animals felt their domain was being narrowed
by man, and so they got angry. Elephants need peace
and quiet for their family life. They also need vast
areas of land in which to roam. They live in herds, and
each herd likes to have its own territory.

Now the government has driven the elephants
back into the forests, away from any village or lumber-
mill. By shouting and shooting in the air the people
drove the great beasts to a new abode in the district of
Air Sugihan. It is hoped that they will feel at home
there and can live in peace and quiet.

prove its trade. It sells many things to other countries
but the most important things are oil, rubber, tin and
copra.

THE CITY OF LONDON

The history of London cannot be separated from
the river Thames. If you look at the map you will see
that it is the gateway to London from the European
continent. In the first century, when the Romans
occupied England, there was a small village on Lud
Hill along the Thames, where the river was at its lowest
point. It was about ten miles from the sea. The Romans
discovered that they could load and unload their
merchant ships here. So, they build a city on Lud Hill.

More and more ships could now for either loading
or unloading, bringing more and more business to the
city. They called the city Londinium (meaning: city)
from which the name London was probably derived. In
order to connect both sides of the river, called the
Thames, the Romans built the London bridge here.

A great fire in 1665 brought a big change to
London. The great will surrounding the city was
destroyed and today we can only see its ruins. Another
change was brought by the Second World War. From
August 1940 to May 1941, German bombers attacked
the city almost every night, destroying thousands of
buildings arid houses, and killing thousands of people.

NOISE

Noise can be defined as sound that we do not
want. This definition is a subjective one, however,
because what is unwanted sound to some people may
be desirable sound to other. Noise is subjective.

That noise is subjective may mean that people
receive it at different levels. This two people will not
agree that the loud music from a neighbor's house, for
example, is noise! To one of them, however, it is
tolerable, noise while to the others it is annoying noise.
This difference in the levels of reception between two
people may be due to the fact the former is a patience
person, while the letter is not. It my also be due to the
fact that the former is used to having loud music, while
the letter is not.

To borrow a term from psychology, the person
who can tolerate the loud music is said to have been
conditioned, while the person who is annoyed by it is
said not to have been conditioned by the noise.

In addition to the tolerance and annoyance levels,
there is yet another level of noise reception. This is
what might be called the damage level, where the noise
is such that it damage the eardrum. The damage may be
temporary, and in this case the person concerned may
be only temporarily deafened. It may be also be that the
damage is permanent. When this occurs the person
become permanently deaf.

Very often however, deafness does not occur right
way but comes gradually as result of a long period of
exposure to the same source of loud noise. The person
concerned may tolerate that noise because he was been
conditioned by it, but damage is done. The damaging
noise will accelerate his gradual loss of hearing due to
growing age.

EBTANAS-SMA-92-19

What is means by noise ?

A. The desirable sound.
B. The unwanted sound.
C. The pleasant sound.
D. The explosive sound.
E. The booming voice.

A. The reception of sound is not the same for
everyone.
B. The sound which is received by some people is the
same.
C. For some people sound can cause the damage of
eardrum.
D. The reception of sound can make someone enjoy.
E. The sound is difficult to be classified.

Which of the statements is true according to the text?

A. The damaging noise will damage the ear.
B. The tolerable noise will cause the temporary deaf.

our Constitution which urges us to raise the
intelligence of nation, the government announced the
beginning of a compulsory education programme in
Indonesia in a ceremony celebrating the Nation
Education Day, on 2nd May 1984. the programme was
begun almost at the same time as the beginning of the
Fourth Five Year Development Plan (1984-1989).

The programme requires that children from seven
to twelve years age complete at least six years of
primary education. With this compulsory education
programme, children of seven to twelve years of age
will have an equal opportunity to enjoy primary
education throughout the country.

On the occasion of celebration of International
Children's Day, on 23rd July 1984, the government
launched another scheme calling for well-to-do
economically able person to become foster parent. The
duty of a foster parent is to finance the children's
education as well as to provide all basic requirements
that the fostered children may need in their schooling
such as nutritious food, school uniform and textbook.
The help be given on the basic of the spirit of
humanity.

Once a foster parent agrees to finance a child's the
foster parent should be prepared to do it at least for one
years, although the ideal target is six years; that is, until
the child finish his primary education. The foster parent
may be an individual or a corporate body, like a
foundation, social organization, business enterprise, or
private social institution.

The response to this scheme has been very good.

Wacana 2

Probably the best known volcano in Indonesia, or
in the whole world for that matter, is Mount Krakatau.
It erupted violently in 1883. What caused it to erupt?
Or, more generally, what causes volcanoes to erupt? In
order to know the answer, it is necessary for us to
know what a volcano is. In Indonesian we call it
"gunung berapi", or "gunung api" for short, the
question is, where do the heat and fire come from?
According to geologists, deep beneath the ground there
are chambers, which contain molten rock. Because of
high pressure, the molten rock is forced up the passage
that connects the chamber and the opening in the crust
of the earth. This molten rock flows out of the opening
as lava (magma), and along with it is emitted ashes and
gases. A volcano, then, is a mountain with an opening
at the top, from which flows lava, hot ashes and gases
Eventually the lava cools off and becomes solid rock.
Sometimes the solid rock blocks the opening and
eruption stop. However, if high pressure builds up in
the chamber, the blockage may reopen and the volcano
erupts once more.

Very often a volcanic explosion, like the 1883's
explosion of Mount Krakatau, causes a great deal of
human suffering. That is why people often associate
volcanoes with disasters. That is not wholly correct, of
course, since there are also some good things. Firstly,
volcanoes, like mountain in generals, cause clouds the
rise and then cool off to form rain. Secondly, the

materials thrown up by volcanoes contain minerals
needed by plants, after many years the volcanic
materials make the soil fertile.

A central bank also provides loans to its
customers. But the customers are not individuals as in
the case of commercial bank. The customers of central
banks are governments, other commercial banks and
financial institutions, A country will have one central
bank. In England it is the Bank of England. In our
country it is the Bank of Indonesia. The central bank
often has a duty of formulating and implementing the
country's monetary and credit policies, usually in co-
operation with the government.

For us individuals, the commercial bank is more
important because it directly provides us with services.
We can enjoy the services by establishing an account at
the bank. There are two kind of account. One is the
savings account and the other is the current account.
One advantage of having a current account is that we
can pay using cheques. This means that we don't have
to carry large amounts of money with us, and risk
losing it.

Most banks, commercial banks, have two kinds of
current accounts. One is the minimum balance account
and the other is the special account. The former kind
requires the customer to maintain in his account a

Wacana 4

Water is an essential component of all living
matter. The body itself consists of more than 70%
water. Water is necessary for weathering processes that
convert rock to soil and for the transport of soil
nutrients to plant. In the form of vapour, it provides
protection for us against the harmful radiations from
outer space and the chilling temperatures at night.
Water is so much a part of our daily lives that we take
all this for granted, we drink it, wash with it, use it to
dispose of our waste products and for countless other
domestic purposes.

The widest use of water in some countries is for
irrigation. The farmers grow rice extensively to satisfy
the need for this staple food. With the programmer's
priority being to increase rice production, the heavy use
of water for agriculture will continue in the future.

Water is also used to produce electric power.
Many hydroelectric power plants provide electricity for
cities, towns and villages.

Industry depends on water. The manufacture of
foodstuffs, textiles, man-made dams now attract more
and more people for fishing, boating and other
recreations.

Water sources can be classified as either surface
water or ground water. Surface water originates from
two main sources rivers and rainfall, which act as the
sources of water in urban areas. Rainwater failing on
land areas partly infiltrates the earth's surface and is
partly intercepted by plants, while some evaporates.
Water collected in lakes, swamps, streams and rivers
can be used to provide an urban water supply.

Wacana 5

Indonesia, having the world's fifth largest
populations and endowed with extensive and varied
natural resources, has the potential to become a great
and prosperous power, But for the time being she is
facing four main problems; how to cope with her
population's growth, how to produce enough food, how
to provide people with jobs and how to organize
enough exports so that the country can pay her way in
the world. Indonesia's most valuable resource is her
people. But for Indonesia, as with other developing
countries, the possession of this particular kind of
resource can prove to be a serve impediment to
economic development.

The Government is endeavoring to cope with the
population problem in two ways: on the one hand by
encouraging people to move, either spontaneously or
under the official transmigration programme from
densely-populated Java, Madura and Bali to the wider
open spaces of the outer islands of Sumatera,
Kalimantan, Sulawesi, and Irian Jaya, and on other
hand by fostering family planning. Transmigration is
more than a response to population growth; it also
carries profound implications for balanced national
development and for national security.

In its response to the population growth however,
Indonesia must continue to rely upon family planning
objectives, the establishment of happy and prosperous
small families and the reduction of the population
growth to 1% by 1990. The country's family planning
can indeed offer valuable lessons for other parts of the
world-in terms not only of results achieved but also of
the democratic way in which they have been achieved.
Indonesia's family planning programme has become
one of the most remarkable of all attempts to institute
birth control on a mass scale.

TRADE FOR THE GOOD THINGS INUFE

One person has vegetables, but wants fruit.
Another man has a great deal of fruit, but want some
vegetables. So the first man gives some of his
vegetables to the second, and the second man gives
some of his fruit to the first. He has exchanged the
vegetables for the fruit. They are happy now. Trade has
made them happy.

People have always traded. Why have they
traded? They have traded because they have wanted a
better life. At first people exchanged their things for
other things. Now people buy and sell things - they
trade for money.

Many foreigners have come to Indonesia for
trade. The first traders came for spices. That was for
very long time ago. Now the traders come here for
many other things.

History has shown us that a country has to trade if
its people want a better life. Indonesia is trying hard to
improve its trade. It sells many things to other
countries but the most important things are oil, rubber,
tin and copra.

What has trade to other countries brought us? It
has brought the things that we do not make. The cars
that we drive, the train that we ride in, and the watches
that we wear are examples of this things. It is not hard
to understand that they have made life better.

But we can trade only if we have more things than
we need. So we have to make or produce more things
to sell. We have to produce more oil, more rubber,
more tin, and more of other things. We have to produce
better things, too, because we can get more money for
them. All this means hard work for us, hard work at
school, hard work at the office, hard work in the city,
hard work in the country, hard work everywhere. By
this way we can all enjoy the good things in life.

THE DANGER OF SMOKING MARIJUANA

Marijuana is dangerous drug. It is often called
"pot" and the habit of smoking pot may send people to
their graves, before their time. Pot smoking may
damage the brain and other organs in the body,
especially the reproduction organs. In July 1989, at an
international meeting held on the dangers of smoking
marijuana, researchers from 14 countries presented
proof about the dangerous effect of marijuana on the
lungs, the brain, and other organs of the body. They
discovered other effect too: sleeplessness, heavy
sweating, lack of appetite and nausea.

Marijuana is extracted from the cannabis plant.
The; cannabinoids are soluble in fat so they remain in
the body's fatty organs after the smoking party is over.
One organ that contains a large amount of fat is the
human brain. The female reproductive organs also have
high fat content. What harm does the marijuana build-
up to these organs?

Well, let us take an example, a handsome
teenagers whose name is Steve. Formerly he was good
student who; had always received good grades. But he
started to smoke pot. He had difficulties in
concentrating on his subject at; school and in the
remembering things. He also began to feel sick and to
get headache, especially if he did not; smoke pot
regularly. As a result, all his pocket money; went on
pot, and when this was gone he started to steal in order
to satisfy his needs.

OIL

That oil has helped’ to shape the world is not an
exaggeration. Indeed, the discovery of oil during the
last hundred years has changed a great deal of things.
An oil product called kerosene has replaced firewood
in the kitchen of our cities. Motor vehicles using
gasoline or diesel oil have put animal-drawn carriages
into museums. Steamships have lost against motor
vehicles. Diesel locomotives have driven steam
locomotives off the rails. :Jet planes using aviation fuel
fly the skies, making remote places reachable in a
matter of hours.

That oil is indispensable to our everyday lives is
not an exaggeration, either. Yet few of us ever ask how
this important liquid is extracted from the earth and
changed into finished products. In the first place, it is
not an easy matter to find an oil reserve. Exploration
teams, sent by oil companies, have to go to remote
places, find sometimes have to live under harsh
conditions, to explore the earth or seabed for oil. They
study the rock and the soil, and if there are promising
result, the next thing for the oil company to do is to
send a drilling team to the location. Again, this not a
simple matter. Roads, for examples, have to be built
first to transport the men and materials to the site. What
is worse, the first drilling does not always bring about
oil. The drilling team often has to drill up to ten wells
before oil is found.

Wacana 4

In agriculture, for example, to fulfill demand for
food supply, Man tends to concentrate on growing a
single species of plant (monoculture) in area. High
densities of crops provide optimum condition for pests
and spread disease. To kill pests and the spread of
disease man the uses pesticides, especially insecticides.
Trough effective, it is expensive and can kill many
organisms whish harmless to Man's crops so upsetting
the balance of the ecosystem. They may kill the pest's
natural enemies, thus removing a form of biological
control of the pests. Moreover, pesticides, DDT for
example, can accumulate within the tissues of
organism, and be passed along food chains where they
increase in concentration. Animals at the end of the
food chain may doses large enough to be fatal.

Industrialization pollutes the atmosphere, soil and
water. The main factors in this are the release of
chemical waste from industrial processes the use of
pesticides and herbicides, accumulation of unwanted
materials (rubbish) and the increasing disposal of the
radioactive waste.

The only means of preventing over-exploration of
plants, animals and natural resources, and preserving
the stability of the ecosystem is by conservation. The
government gives protection to the species and animal
threatened with extinction and campaigns to conserve
energy. Forest conservation, re-forestatiori, re-gene
ring: National Parks, like Ujung Kulon for example, to
hunt, kill or trade in protected animal such as
elephants, orang utans, rhinoceros, and cassowary.

Wacana 5

When we buy canned or bottled food products at
the grocer's or the supermarket, we will find out that
there are some additives added to the main nutrients.
An additives is a non-nutritive substance intentionally
added to food generally in small quantities, to improve
appearance, flavor, storage properties, etc.

Most governments issue lists of permitted
additives stating the highest acceptable concentration,
defining food products in which they may be used and
sometimes recommending the maximum daily
consumption. Such legislation is revised periodically,
and product may be added to or deleted from permitted
lists because of additional scientific knowledge and
experience of their use.

A group of food additives includes vitamins,
amino acids, and minerals which are added to
foodstuffs to compensate for losses occurring during
processing or to provide additional sources in diet that
might otherwise be deficient in such nutrients.
Examples of their use include enrichment of margarine
with the addition of vitamin A, and niacin amide to
flour or bread. Salt often has a small amount of iodine
to it to avoided a diet deficiency that can cause goiter
development.

Appearance is an important factor in food appeal,
and legislation in most countries permits the addition
of both natural and synthetic coloring mater based on
the coloring standards issued by the Food and
Agriculture Organization (FAO) and World Health
Organization (WHO).

Flavoring materials are added to basic foodstuff
to; provide a characteristic product flavor or to
supplement or modify the original flavor. Most
flavoring materials are still of natural origin, but
progress in organic chemistry has made, it possible to
analyze flavoring materials and to synthesize product
similar with those found in nature.

Flavor can also be influenced by the addition of
the flavor enhancer such as monosodium glutamate
which intensifies perception of flavoring.

BADMINTON

Badminton is an indoor sport that has been
greatest since the end of world war II. It is sport for
two or four players. The players use long handled
rackets to hit a shuttlecock over a net. The net is
stretched across a marked court. Badminton rackets are
lightweight. A shuttlecock is usually made of cork and
feather. The court is about 5.2 meter wide and 13.4
meter long for singles, and 1 meter wider for doubles.

In order to score, a player has to save, or put the
shuttlecock into play. A server can score when the
opponent lets the shuttlecock fall to the ground or by a

Two very important fuel gases are made from
petroleum during the refining process. They are butane
and propane, which are similar to methane. These
gases are sold in small tanks and are used for cigarette
lighters, portable welding torches, and camping stoves.

Mixture of the two gases are stored under
pressured .as a liquid. For this reason the mixture is
called liquefied petroleum gas or LPG. As it is used the
liquid in the tank evaporates and leaved the tank as gas.
The main use of LPG is as a cooking fuel on farms and
in small towns are where a central gas making plant

THE DIGESTTVE SYSTEM

When you're hungry and you smell dinner, your
mouth waters. This is the first step in changing the
food you eat into the kind .of food that cells can use.
This change is called digestion, and it begins in the
mouth.

Suppose you are eating sandwich. Your front
teeth cut and tear the sandwich. The molars grind it.
Saliva, the juice in the mouth, gets everything moist.
Saliva also contains a type of chemical called an
enzyme. It starts breaking down the starch of the bread
into sugar.

The moist ball of the food is carried to the back of
the mouth by the tongue. Muscles force the food into
the esophagus, a narrow tube behind the windpipe.
Other muscles force the food down the esophagus.
They do their work so well that the food would travel
along even if the person were doing a headstand.

Whenever you go, whatever you do - inside, on
top of a mountain, deep a coal mine - you are always
surrounded by a. sea of gases. This sea called the air, or
the atmosphere.

The gases of the atmosphere cannot be seen, and
we are rarely aware of them. But they are of the
greatest importance. Without the atmosphere, people,
animals, and plants could not live. Of almost equal
importance is the quality of the atmosphere - whether it
is pure or polluted (meaning impure).

The atmosphere is made up mainly of the gases,
oxygen and nitrogen, together with water vapour and
smaller amounts of carbon dioxide and other gases. But
all air contains small amounts of impurities. In rural
areas, far removed from the factories and heavy traffic,
the air may contain pollen from plants, dust from the
soil, and even bacteria. These impurities are usually in
such small amount that they are not important.

Air is said to be polluted when it contains enough
harmful impurities to affect the health, safety, or
comfort of living things. The impurities or pollutants,
could be tiny particles of matter or gases not normally
found in air.

Two very important fuel gases are made from
petroleum during the refining process. They are butane
and propane, which are similar to methane. These
gases are sold in small tanks and are used for cigarette
lighters, portable welding torches, and camping stoves.

Mixture of the two gases are stored under
pressured .as a liquid. For this reason the mixture is
called liquefied petroleum gas or LPG. As it is used the
liquid in the tank evaporates and leaved the tank as gas.
The main use of LPG is as a cooking fuel on farms and
in small towns are where a central gas making plant

would not be practical. Instead of piping the gas to the

Forest the oldest and most diverse ecosystem, are
important for their products. They also keep soil fertile,
ensure the supply of constant water under the ground,
regulate the climate and prevent floods.

The leaves which have fallen to the ground
become some kind of substance. This substance which
is called humus is a fertilizer to the soil. Humus holds
rain water during the wet season, stores it and then
waters the fields in the dry season.

Thus the fields can produce more crops. For years
many people haven't been obeying the government's
regulations and have been cutting down the trees
excessively. As a result, thousands of hectares of what

We can't imagine living without electricity.
Aeroplanes wouldn't be able to take off, car engines
wouldn’t run, radio and television broadcasts would
stop. In other words, modern living could not go on.
Besides, million of people - mechanics, factory -
workers, pilots, etc would lose their job, for they can
work only of electricity is available. Electricity is
undoubtedly one of the most important aids to modem
living.

Nowadays the government tries hard to
modernize the people, not only in the cities but also in
the countries. This is a good wisdom. If people in cities
or towns don't get food from people in the countries
they can't work well. On the other hand if people in the
countries don't get supply, equipments and services
from people in the cities they can't work well either.

One of the government attempts to modernize the
country people is by installing the power plants to
produce electricity to light country homes. By
introducing electricity in the countries, in the country
people can enjoy television broadcast relayed by
nearby relay stations.

A volcano is mountain surrounding is the earth's
crust'. Steam, gases, lava2, ashes, etc. are forced out
almost continuously from an active volcano. A
dormant3 volcano is a little different. The steam gases
lava, ashes, etc. are forced out a long intervals. In an
extinct4 volcano, the opening or crater has long been
closed up with cold, solid lava, etc. There is no heat
left.

Volcanic eruptions cause disaster. Hot materials
that are thrown up destroy all life in their path. Hot
lava, when cooled off, turns into cold 'lahar', which
becomes dangerous when it rains. Eruptions are
accompanied by earthquakes, sometimes very
destructive as when Mount Agung erupted in 1963.

One may conclude that volcanoes only cause
disasters. This is not true, in fact, they are also a great
blessing. Volcanoes and mountains. In general, force
the clouds to rise. While rising they cool off and drop
the water they contain in the form of rain. The
materials thrown up by volcanoes contain minerals that
are needed by plants. After many years volcanic
materials will turn into good soil. Volcanic soil, being
very fertile because of the minerals it contains, is very
good farm land. The higher regions, being cool are
good for coffee, tea, and other plantations, requiring a
cool climate. The woods on the slopes protect the soil
against erosion, while the soil acts as a water reservoir
giving water to the river.

In eruptions, volcanoes may destroy life, but they
also make the land fertile.
