A long time ago in Prambanan palace lived a king named Baka with his beautiful daughter, Roro Jonggrang. Many rulers wanted to marry Roro Jonggrang, so they competed for her. When Bandung Bondowoso conquered Prambanan, he killed King Baka in a battle.

Eventually, Roro Jonggrang agreed to marry Bandung, but on one condition, Bandung had to present a big wonderful palace with one thousand sculptures in it. In addition, he had to finish it before the sun rose.
Bandung immediately called his invisible friends for help. They did what their master ordered. Knowing it, Roro Jonggrang was worried. It appeared they would finish the work before morning, and would not stop.
“What can I do?” Roro Jonggrang thought in a panic. Suddenly, she had an idea. She awoke her maids and nannies, and asked them to do their daily routines as if morning had come. They also made shadow as if there was a sun in the sky.
Bandung was surprised. The sky was red, the rooster crowed, and the people pounded rice. Meanwhile, the job had not been finished. The evil spirits disappeared because they were scared of light.
Bandung was left alone. When he found out that Roro Jonggrang had used tricks, he cursed her. He turned her into a stone, which completed the temples.
Even today, the statue of Roro Jonggrang remains in the temple.

VISIT GRANADA
Granada is one of Andalucia’s most historic centers, famed particularly for its glorious Alhambra. Granada’s location is stunning, situated as it is at the foot of the Sierra Nevada. Winter skiing holidays are popular around Granada. Like Cordoba, Granada has a distinctly Moorish character and was the last of the Andalucian Arab centers to be conquered finally by the Christians in 1492.
In the 20th century the name of Frederico Garcia Lorca, poet and writer of numerous plays, is celebrated in his hometown Granada. Lorca is considered by many to be one of Spain’s best 20th century authors. A republican supporter, he was shot by nationalists in Granada in the early days of the Spanish Civil War in 1936. Lorca’s summerhouse just outside Granada is now a house-museum with numerous personal items and photography on display. The Granada region, in tribute, has named their airport after the poet.
Granada has a thriving music, cinema and theater / festivals scene, alongside a host of monuments and museums, including an archaeological musem.

THE ROAD TO PRESIDENCY
A large number of candidates initially entered the Democratic Party presidential primaries. After a few initial contests, the field narrowed to a contest between Obama and Hillary Clinton, with each winning some stated and with the race remaining nearly tied throughout the primary process. On May 31st, the Democratic National Committee agreed to seat all of the disputed Michigan and Florida delegates at the national convention, each with a half-vote, narrowing Obama’s delegate lead. On June 3rd, with all states counted, Obama passed the threshold to become the presumptive nominee. On that day, he gave a victory speech in St. Paul, Minnesota. Clinton suspended her campaign and endorsed him on June 7th. From that point on, he campaigned for the general election race against John McCain, the Republican nominee.
On August 23rd, Obama selected Delaware Senator, Joe Biden, as his vice presidential running mate. At the Democratic National Convention in Denver, Colorado, Obama’s former rival Hillary Clinton gave a speech in support of Obama’s candidacy and later called for Obama to be nominated by acclamation as the Democratic presidential candidate. On August 28th, Obama delivered a speech to the 84,000 supporters in Denver. During the speech, which was viewed by over 38 million people worldwide, he accepted his party’s nomination and presented his policy goals.
After McCain was nominated as the Republican presidential candidate, there were three presidential debates between Obama and McCain in September and October 2008. In November, Obama won the presidency with 53% of the popular vote and a wide electoral college margin. His election sparked street celebrations in numerous cities in the United States and abroad.

Suddenly, he realized that he couldn’t eat because when he touched the food, it turned into gold.

When Midas touched his beloved daughter, she turned into gold. He was extremely unhappy.
Finally, Midas went back to Dionysius and said, “Please take back your gift. I no longer want the golden touch. I realized that wealth does not always bring happiness.”
Dionysius laughed, “I see that you have changed. Go and bathe in the river of Poctulus. The spell will be underdone and your woe will be gone.”

The durian is the fruit of trees of the genus Durio. The fruit is widely known and revered in Southeast Asia as the “King of Fruits”. A durian is distinctive for its large size, unique odor, and a formidable thorn-covered husk.
The fruit can grow up to 30 centimeters (12 in) long and 15 centimeters (6 in) in diameter, and typically weighs one to three kilograms. Its shape ranges from oblong to round, the color of its husk green to brown and its flesh pale-yellow to red, depending on species. The hard outer husk is covered with sharp, prickly thorns, while the edible flesh within emits the distinctive odor. The odor of the ripe fruit is very strong and penetrating, even when the husk of the fruit is still intact.
The flesh of the durian was famously described by the British naturalist, Alfred Russell Wallace. He called it “rich custard highly flavored with almonds”. Durians can be consumed at various stages of ripeness, and are used to flavor a wide variety of edibles, both savory and sweet.
Durians from different species or clones can have significantly different aromas. For example, red durian has a deep caramel flavor with a turpentine odor, while red-fleshed durian emits a fragrance of roasted almonds. The degree of ripeness has a great effect on the flavor as well.
Pertanyaannya adalah:
According to the text, the following statements are true, EXCEPT………
a. the ripe fruit releases unpleasant odor
b. a deep caramel is one of the durian’s flavor
c. the hard outer dusk is covered with sharp thorns
d. durian revered in Southeast Asia as “King of Fruits”
