CLONING AT ANIMALS: ALLOWED or NOT ALLOWED?

            In this modern era, technology has developed into such a certain degree that scientists are able to create new forms of life. One of them is CLONING. The debate whether cloning at animals is allowed or not seems never endless.

            Those who agree with the cloning at animals usually argue that the seed produced from them can be used to everlasting rare species. They also add that cloning has a purpose to produce high quality of seeds.

            Many species are becoming rare and rare. Scientists are concerned if they don’t do something to save the species, these animals will be extinct forever from the world and this means a big loss in the animal kingdom. For this reason, researchers improve the cloning technology so that many rare species can be successfully cloned.

            Not everyone is excited about cloning at animals, however. Some people feel that it could have terrible consequences. For example, if Dinosaurs are cloned, then men will be destroyed. It is clear that the ferocious beasts cannot live together with humans. In history, these creatures lived several thousand years before men appeared. Can you imagine these giant killing creatures live within the same era and in the same planet with us?

            So far, Cloning still becomes a controversial debate among scientists. On the one hand, they try to preserve the rare species by cloning, but on the other hand, it brings terrible consequences.

Pertanyaan2nya adalah:

1.   The third paragraph is telling us about ………

      a.   the disadvantages of cloning

      b.   the controversy of cloning

      c.   the bad sides of cloning

      d.   the advantages of cloning

      e.   the problem of cloning  

      Jawaban yg benar itu yg D / E ya, Pak/Bu?

2.   Which of the following statement is NOT CORRECT?

      a.   Cloning technology is able to produce high quality of a certain                species.           

      b.   Cloning still becomes a controversial debate among scientists.

      c.   Scientists are very concerned with the rare species of certain                 animals.

      d.   Dinosaurs cannot live together with humans in the same periods.

      e.   Men had lived several thousand years ago before Dinosaurs                  appeared.        

      Jawaban yg benar itu yg A / E ya, Pak/Bu? Mohon      penjelasannya.

Kupang, (JP) The death of thousands of chickens in the last two weeks have raised public fears of Avian Influenza virus in Kupang, although local authorities have said the deaths weren’t related to the virus. The true cause is still under investigation. The specimens of two dead chickens have been sent to two laboratories. They will be investigated there within a month.

            The head of animal health unit of the East Nusa Tenggara Husbandry Agency, Maria Geong, said Tuesday that 7.000 chickens had died in Kupang in the last two weeks.

            “Preliminary investigations suggest the chickens died of Newcastle disease or chronic respiratory disease,” she added.

            Railway accidents frequently occur, mostly the result of damaged tracks. On the latest accident in Central Java, a length of track was removed, causing the derailment of several train cars.

            It is indeed difficult to monitor the extensive rail network given the limited number of employees at state railway company PT. Kereta Api Indonesia.

            Between inspections there is enough time to remove nuts and bolts, saw of pieces of tracks and other acts of vandalism, motivated by greed, sabotage and simply for fun.

            The state railway company should therefore operate an early warning system, by which damaged tracks can be monitored and spotted in time for train to stop before reaching the trouble area.

            It is obvious that traditional control systems are no longer adequate. It is crucial to adopt a modern approach by introducing high-technology precautions for passenger safety and better service.

Pertanyaan2nya adalah:

3.   According to paragraph one, the train accident mostly is caused       by ………

      a.   The damaged tracks

      b.   The length of tracks

      c.   The frequent accidents

      d.   The derailment of train cars

      e.   The difficulty of distant monitoring

      Jawaban yg benar itu yg A / D ya, Pak/Bu?  

            Do you still remember the climate change conference in Bali? Do you know what is meant by the climate changing?

            Global warming is the changing of climate. Temperatures vary from day to day and year to year. Global warming is very dangerous. Why is it so?

            Global warming melts the ice at the poles. This would then cover all the flat coastal lands. People would have less land on which to live or grow food.

            Plants and animals are adapted to their climates. If the climate changes rapidly, many may not be able to adapt. Some species will simply die out. Others may spread to cooler climates. They will be struggling with species already in place.

            So what can we do to save the planet? People should stop cutting down forest and burning the wood. There must be a clear regulation of the use of cars and other machines to decrease the amount of greenhouse gasses in the atmosphere. Otherwise the earth and all the entirely life will vanish.

Pertanyaan2nya adalah:

4.   The last paragraph tells us about ………

      a.   an advice how to cut down forest and burn the wood

      b.   a suggestion to overcome the climate changing

      c.   a warning about a clear regulation of transportation

      d.   a clear regulation of the use of cars and other machines

      e.   the amount of greenhouse gasses in the atmosphere

In olden times, many people who worked as brick makers were slaves or servants. If the master brick maker needed extra help, he could always bail someone out of jail and force them to work without any wages. They received one meal a day, and it was usually corn meal and bread.

            Many events would happen during this brick making “business”. Now let me tell you the process. The first step of brick making process is to gather clay and mix it up by stepping in it. This is rather a very disgusting view.

            Once the clay is clean enough, it is formed into bricks. The brick maker will roll it and then put it in a mold. The mold gives the brick its shape. Sometimes in the middle of the brick making process, the bricks are taken to the area where the bricks will be dried in the sun until they are hard enough to handle.

            Afterward the bricks are piled up in the brickyard. The brickyard is the place where bricks are placed for the last time until it is time for them to go into the kiln.

            The kiln is the final destination for the bricks. This is when and where the bricks will get baked.

            Brick making is an important industry in many parts of the world. It is an activity that can take place in many forms, in large modern factories to small rural businesses. Although the process is simple, many techniques involved in the brick making process are subject to error, possibly reducing the quality of bricks.

Pertanyaan2nya adalah:

1.   The final process of brick making is discussed on     paragraph ………

      a.   one

      b.   two

      c.   three

      d.   four

      e.   five

      Jawaban yg benar itu yg D / E ya, Pak/Bu?

2.   How many processes of brick making? Apakah benar ada 4 ya,      Pak/Bu sesuai yg saya garis bawahi? Ataukah ada lebih dari 4       prosesnya? Tolong tunjukkan yang mana saja ya, Pak/Bu.

Ants are small insects. The body of an ant is clearly divided into three sections: the head, the thorax, and the gaster. (The narrow waist is actually within the abdomen, so the part of the abdomen behind the waist is called the gaster.) The waist can be made up of one or two small segments, depending on the species.

            Ants are social insects living in colonies comprised of one or a few queens, and many workers. The queen generally stays deep and safe within a nest. Most ants that you see are workers and these are all females. Depending on species, workers may be similar in size, or come in a range of sizes.

Sometimes when I pass some certain places in Jakarta, I often see piles of trash by the side of the street or even by the river. This view is annoying. It makes our city look ugly and very dirty. If we walk near the pile of trash, we could smell stinky odors coming from it.

            Piles of trash, they bring the bacteria with them. Isn’t that very dangerous to our health if flies land on our food?

            However, many people live around this mountain – like heap of trash. Many children play nearby. Also, a lot of women wash clothes and fruits and vegetables in the river that is contaminated by trash. This is terrible.

            I think they don’t realize the danger, because they don’t have knowledge about living healthy. In my opinion, the government must make a regulation that people are not allowed to build houses near the trash disposal (dump site).

            The government must protect their citizens, right?

            Maybe there should be special officers, like police officers, who watch and catch people who throw trash on the ground or into the river.

            The government should be harder, because trash has become a big, big problem for our city.

            If a big fine doesn’t make people stop dropping litter everywhere, put them in jail.

            I think to keep our environment clean and tidy needs hard work from both the citizens and the government.

      Rainforest are one of the most complicated environments on Earth. They are recognized worldwide as containing the richest source of plants and animals and are believed to contain nearly three quarters of all the varieties of life on Earth. This is remarkable because rainforests cover only about six percent of the Earth’s land surface.

            Rainforest are the oldest major ecosystem, having survived climate changes for more than one million years. They provide habitats for more species of plants, animals, insects and birds than any other environment found on our planet. Scientists estimate that between 60 and 90 percent of all species of life are to be found on our planet. Scientists estimate that between 60 and 90 percent of all species of life are to be found in rainforests. Unfortunately, the widespread destruction of many of the world’s rainforests has caused a significant decline in the number of plant and animal species on Earth.

            Rainforests influence both our local and global climates. For example, between 50 and 80 percent of the moisture in the air above rainforests comes from the rainforest’s trees. If large areas of these lush rainforests are cleared, the average rainfall in the area will drop. Eventually, the area’s climate will get hotter and drier. This process could convert a rainforests into a sparse grassland or desert.

            Rainforests are major producers of the Earth’s oxygen. In fact, scientists believe that nearly 50 percent of the Earth’s oxygen is produced by rainforest in the Amazon region alone. Nearly 40 percent of the world’s carbon is contained in the trees of the rainforests. As rainforests are cut down and burned, carbon dioxide is released into the Earth’s atmosphere. Eventually, as this gas builds up the atmosphere, leading to what scientists call the enhanced greenhouse effect.

In conclusion, rainforests are essential to our life on Earth.

1.   What is the text about?

      a.   The most complicated environments on Earth.

      b.   The oldest major ecosystem.
