Kapoposang
Kapoposang is one of the largest of the Spermonde Islands, around 70 km northwest of

Makassar, South Sulawesi. Kapoposang covers an area of around 50,000 hectares and is inhabited by
around 100 families. Several other islands, both inhabited and uninhabited, lie near Kapoposang. The
larger ones include Papandangan, Kondongbali, Suranti and Tambakulu.
Kapoposang and the nearby islands were declared a Nature Tourism Park by the
Department of Forestry in 1999. Diving has been an important activity at Kapoposang since the mid
1990s. There were so few local divers at the time, and because of the distance from other well-known
diving areas in Indonesia, Kapoposang has basically remained a secret.
The best time to visit Kapoposang is between April and November, when the seas are calm, the
weather favorable, and the wind less fierce than in the other months. The trip takes two hours by
speedboat; the ocean breezes help to cool your skin in the hot morning sun. As you approach Pulau
Kapoposang, you see the deep blue water, which suddenly meets an expanse of coral reefs between
extensive shallows with white sands in the seabed. Sea grass also grows lushly near the shore. The
sea bed at Kapoposang has a unique composition; near the island are some quite shallow contours,
and then suddenly steep underwater cliffs leading to seemingly endless depths. The water is very clear;
you can expect underwater visibility of over 15 meters – ideal conditions for divers.
10. The text is about ....

A. Kapoposang and the surrounding islands
B. Kapoposang as a diving spot.
C. Kapoposang as a very popular tourist spot
D. Kapoposang as a secret area
E. Kapoposang and the weather

The Sherlock Holmes Museum
My friend and I didn’t even know that this quaint little museum existed but after dodging the
dreaded Madame Tussauds’ queue, we looked up where else we could go in the area. In comparison,
the queue to Sherlock Holmes Museum was long but moved very quickly and we were soon inside the
warm, Georgian house, for only £8.
Sherlock Holmes and Doctor John H. Watson lived at 221b Baker Street in 1881-1904, according
to the stories. The house is protected by the government due to its “special architectural and historical
interest”, while the 1st floor study overlooking Baker Street is still faithfully maintained for posterity as it
was kept in Victorian Times.
The museum is fun for old and young alike. It is decorated as it is described in the books and
you can really imagine the old detective puzzling mysteries over his pipe. Within each room they have
props you can pose with and wax models representing victims and villains from the books including the
notorious Moriarty.
The part of the museum that my friend and I particularly enjoyed was a book of all the letters
posted to the address throughout the years: from children requesting the great detective to solve their
mysteries to adults expressing their love for the novels. The book is full of some great treats including
adults who genuinely believe the character to be real and have shown their appreciation for his
services to the community.
After your journey around the Georgian town house, you can visit the gift shop next door and
indulge yourself with a magnifying glass or a flat cap. It is an enjoyable experience. Make the most of
our city and its literary culture.
21. Where is the museum located?

A. It is inside the Madame Tussauds.
B. It is next to Madame Tussauds.
C. 212b Baker Street.
D. 221b Baker Strees.
E. In Geogia.

marble statue as a part of the display. Many people from all over the world visited the museum every
day and admired the beautifully crafted statue.
One night, the marble tiles started talking to the marble statue. Marble Tile said, “Hey, Statue!
Don’t you think that is not just fair that everybody from all over the world come all the way here to
admire you while ignoring and stepping on me.”
Marble Statue answered, “My dear brother, Marble Tile, don’t you remember we are actually
from the same cave.”
“Yes, I do! That is why I feel it is even more unfair. Both of us were born from the same cave
and yet the world treats us so differently now. This is so unfair!”, Marble Tile replied.
Marble Statue said, “Yes you are right my brother. But, do you still remember when the sculptor
tried to work on you but you resisted his tools.”
“Yes, I despise that guy. He couldn’t use those nasty tools on me?” Marble Tile answered.
Marble Statue explained, “Well, since you resisted his tools, he couldn’t work on you. When he
decided to give up on you, he started to working on me instead. I knew at once that I would be
something different and unique after his efforts. I bore all the painful tools he used on me and allowed
him to craft me as he wanted!.
Marble Tile exclaimed, “But those tools were so painful.
Marble Statue said calmly, “My brother, there is a price for everything in life. Since you decided
to resist and gave up half way, you can’t blame anybody who steps on you now”.
The marble tiles silently listened to his brother’s words and started to reflect on it.

Little boy with a slingshot
Once upon a time Sammy and his sister Marie visited their grandparents at their farm. Sammy
picked up a slingshot to play with out in the woods. He practised in the woods, but he could never hit
the target. Getting a little discouraged, he headed back for the lunch. As he was walking back, he saw
Grandma’s pet duck.
Just out of impulse, he let the slingshot fly which hit the duck square in the head and killed it. He
was shocked and grieved. In a panic, he hid the dead duck in the pile of woods. Marry had seen it all
from the window, but she said nothing. After the lunch, the next day Grandma said, “Marie, lets wash
the dishes.” Marie said, “But Grandma, Sammy told me he wanted to help in the kitchen.”
Then she whispered to Sammy, “Remember the duck?”, Sammy got nervous knowing her his
sister knew about the duck and if he did not obey, she might tell his grandparents about it. So, without
saying anything he did the dishes.
Later that day, Grandpa asked if the children wanted to go fishing, but Grandma said, “I’m sorry,
but I need Marie to help make supper. “Marie just smiled and said, “Well, that’s all right because
Sammy told me he wanted to help”.
She whispered again to Sammy. “Remember the duck?” So, Marie went fishing and Sammy
stayed to help. After several days of Marie taking advantage of sammy, he finally couldn’t stand it any
longer. He came to Grandma and confessed that he had killed her duck.
Grandma knelt down, gave him a hug and said, “sweetheart, I know. I was standing at the
window and I saw the whole thing, but because I love you, I’ve forgiven you. I was just wondering how
long you would let Marie take advantage of you.

Phubbing was first coined as a term im May 2012. An Australian advertising agency created this
word to describe the growing of phenomenon of people ignoring their friends and family who were right
in front of them and instead of scrolling through their phones.
One study found that more than 17 percent of people phub others at least four hour times a day.
Almost 32 percent of people report being phubbed two to three times a day. While the behaviour might
not seem like a big deal, research suggests phubbing may be hurting your relationships and your
mental health. Read on to learn more.
Phubbing interupts your ability to be present and engage with people around you. Today,
almost all people own a smartphone, so the phubbing problem may be getting worse.
Besides that, the effect of phubbing may be worse on people who found themselves at the
receiving end of the phubbing. When someone phubs you, you may feel rejected, excluded, and not
important. That can have a significant impact on mental health.
Research also shows that people who are phubbed are more likely to reach for their phones
and try to engage with their social media network to fill that void. This is the start of a vicious cycle.
Above all, phubbing is a learned behaviour. It only reecently becomes a problem and you can
unlearn it. It will take time and some work, but your mental health and your relationship will thank you
for it.

Dear Irene
It is good to know that you’re doing well. Thanks for sharing the story your last time in Norway. I
found it really impressive. I’m glad you had a good time. Your story made me want to add that country
to my bucket list.
As we’re on the topic of vacations, I also wanted to share about how I ended up going to Italy. I
told you earlier this year that I was going to visit my grandparents in Scotland just like any other year.
However, it turned out that my grangparents were going on trip with their friends from the senior
community. Therefore I cancelled my trip at the last minute. Before the trip, I already freed up my
schedule, as I did not just want to stay in London alone. I thought it would be fun to visit Italy as I had
never been there before. I arranged everything in a hurry and made it to Italy at last.
The first place on my list was none other than The Learning Tower of Pisa. I know it is common
tourist place, but I’ve always wanted to see it for myself. It was indeed fascinating how the tower was
actually learning. I walked around the complex and took a lot of pictures before I headed to another
place. I spent two days in Rome and Milan. Then I travelled quite far from the city, to the Northeastern
part of the country. Venice was so much beautiful than I expected. All the canals and the bridges
looked like something from a painting. The views were marvellous and breath-taking. I also took a
gondola ride which would actually have been so much better If I were not alone. I cannot wait to come
back and bring you with me.
Well, that’s all for now. I hope you’re having a wonderful day!
Love,
Sonia

A laptop is a kind of computer unit which has the same function as PC (personal computer), but
it is smaller, lighter and of different sizes. Nowadays, most people choose laptops for several reasons.
Laptop is a portable device. This portability is very helpful for our work, study and other
activities. We do not need complicated cable installations to activate a laptop, and with a laptop, we
can do our work anytime, anywhere.
Morever, a laptop allows us to access the internet in public places which provide free access
called hot spot areas. Some pople like to use this facility to carry out their tasks.
Finally, a laptop consumes energy more efficiently than a PC does. This device uses
rechargeable battery as a source of electric energy. So if we prefer using a laptop, it means that we
support the government program to save energy.
That’s why a laptop has become very popular recently.

Solar Eclipse
Have you ever seen a solar eclipse? It is a natural phenomenon that happens when the moon
passes in front of the Sun and blocks it completely. When you look up into the sky at the Sun and the
Moon , you will notice a strange coincidence that can make you feel curious because they both look
like the same size in the sky and you will see really beatiful sight.
An eclipse occurs at the times when the Moon moves into a position of direct alignment with the
Sun and the Eart. There are three types of solar eclipses; a total solar eclipse, a partial solar eclipse,
and an annular solar eclipse.
A total solar eclipse occurs when the new moon passes direcly between the Sun and the Eart.
The moon’s complete shadow ( the umbra ) sweeps across the narrow path of totality on the Earth.
Daytime briefly turns into total darkness, and during these few precious minutes the halo of the Sun-
the corona – comes into view as the dark disk of the Moon totally obscures the bright Sun. Outside the
path of totally, in the Moon’s partial shadow ( the penumbra ), some portion of the Sun’s bright disk
remain visible.
A partial solar eclipse also occurs when the Moon passes directly between the Sun and the Earth.
However , only the penumbra touches our planet. The umbra passes either just above the North Pole
or just below the South Pole, completely missing the Earth. N total eclipse is visible—only partial
phases can be seen.
An annular solareclipse occurs when the Moon’s umbra passesacross the Earth, but it doesn’t
take a long time to reach the surface; the shadow come diminishes to point before reaching the Earth.
This effect happens when the Moon is farther out in its orbit around the Earth. The moon appears
slightly smaller and is not completely large enough to cover the Sun. When the Moon, is centered over
the Sun , a ring of sunlight remains visible around the edge. Because the Sun is not completely
covered by the Moon, the rare and dramatic effects of a total solar eclipse are not present at either
annular or partial eclipses of the Sun.
It is quite remarkable that a solar eclipse can occur because the Sun and the Moon appear from
Earth to be about the same size in the sky. The Sun, whose diameter is 400 times larger than the
Moon, is about 400 times as far away from the Earth. This condition permits the Moon to cover up the
Sun. In fact, if the Moon’s diameter ( 2,160 miles ) was just 140 milesless. It would not be large enough
to completely cover the Sun.
55. What does the text mainly talk about ?

A. The conditions when solar eclipses happen.
B. Several ways to see solar eclipse.
C. A research on solar eclipses.
D. How solar eclipses happen.
E. The time when solar eclipses happen.

remain visible.
A partial solar eclipse also occurs when the Moon passes directly between the Sun and the Eart.
However , only the penumbra touches our planet. The umbra passes either just above the North Pole
or just below the South Pole, completely missing the Earth. N total eclipse is visible—only partial
phases can be seen.
An annular solareclipse occurs when the Moon’s umbra passesacross the Earth, but it doesn’t
take a long time to reach the surface; the shadow come diminishes to point before reaching the Earth.
This effect happens when the Moon is farther out in its orbit around the Earth. The moon appears
slightly smaller and is not completely large enough to cover the Sun. When the Moon, is centered over
the Sun , a ring of sunlight remains visible around the edge. Because the Sun is not completely
covered by the Moon, the rare and dramatic effects of a total solar eclipse are not present at either
annular or partial eclipses of the Sun.
It is quite remarkable that a solar eclipse can occur because the Sun and the Moon appear from
Earth to be about the same size in the sky. The Sun, whose diameter is 400 times larger than the
Moon, is about 400 times as far away from the Earth. This condition permits the Moon to cover up the
Sun. In fact, if the Moon’s diameter ( 2,160 miles ) was just 140 milesless. It would not be large enough
to completely cover the Sun.
56. Compared with other eclipses, the total solar eclipse is considered as the most beautiful one
because...
A. The position of the Moon is right between the Sun and the Earth.
B. The day become dark.
C. People can see the halo of the Sun.
D. The Sun’s bright disk is still visible.
E. The Moon is closer to the Earth.

Disasters in Java Caused by Poor Spatial Planning
TEMPO.CO, Semarang - The Indonesian Forum for the Environment (Walhi) assessed that
disasters occurring on Java Island were attributable to poor spatial planning. Consequently,
Java contributed to the highest number of catastrophies in the archipelago.
Many areas on the island that should be water catchment areas have changed functions.
“There is a function shift of protected areas to commercial use, whether for industry, offices,
educational centers, or others. We call it spatial planning mismanagement,” said Walhi’s
campaigner Abdul Ghofar in Semarang, Monday, January 23, 2023.
He noted that in the last four years, Java has become the epicenter of disasters in the
country. In 2019, 2,351 disasters occurred, or 61 percent of the total national disasters. In 2020,
there were 2,368 disasters, or 50.9 percent of the national disasters. In 2021, there were 2,511
disasters or 46.3 percent of the national disasters. In 2022, there were 1,839 disasters, or 51.8
percent of the national disasters.
“There are three provinces which over the past four years have become the three top
biggest contributors to disasters in Indonesia. They are West Java, Central Java, and East
Java,” he said.
The massive conversion of land functions in Java has also been triggered by a large
number of developments, both by government and private parties, including the national
strategic project (PSN). “Java Island has 83 PSN, or 33 percent of the total PSN, with an
investment value of Rp1,923 trillion,” Abdul disclosed.
The high number of infrastructure development is also eased by licensing without
adequate environmental standards. After the Government Regulation in Lieu of Law or Perpu
on Job Creation Perpu and the Environment Minister’s Regulation on the exception of the
environmental impact analysis (Amdal) obligation were issued, the licensing process for spatial
planning was relaxed.
Meanwhile, no big cities in Java have fulfilled the obligation of green open spaces.
“None of the big cities in Java have fulfilled the spatial planning law, namely 30 percent areas
allocated for green open spaces,” Abdul underlined.
Walhi Central Java Executive Director Fahmi Bastian cited an example of
mismanagement of spatial planning in Semarang. According to him, disasters often occurred in
the city because the upper area which should function as a water catchment have turned into
industrial and residential areas.
68. What caused the disasters in Java?

A. Bad spatial management
B. The change of land function
C. Lack of green areas
D. Large number of development
E. Lack of water catchment

Too many days ending in the darkest night
But, on your own, you'll never know
You'll never know
They say that all you need is faith

But it's almost like you lost your way
Took a few wrong turns, took a few breaks
