One day I was sitting in the local library, I started to read a medical

encyclopedia that was lying on the table in front of me. The first illness I read

about was cholera. As I read the list of symptoms, it occurred to me that

perhaps I had cholera myself. I sat for a while, too frightened to move.Then, in

a kind of dream, I started to turn the pages of the book again. I came to

malaria. Yes, there was no doubt about it – I had malaria too. And I certainly

had hepatitis. And yellow fever. And so it went on. I read through the whole

book, and by the end I came to the conclusion that I had every illness. There

was only one illness I didn’t have – and that was housemaid’s knee.

I sat and thought, and I became more and more worried. I wondered how

long I had to live. I examined myself. I felt my pulse. At first, I couldn’t find it at

all; then, suddenly it seems start off. I looked at my watch to time it – it was

beating 147 times a minute. I tried to feel my heart. I couldn’t feel it. It wasn’t

beating. I stuck my tongue out and tried to look at it. I could only see the end

of it, but from that I was even more certain than before that I had yellow fever.

nI went straight to my doctor, who was a good friend of mine. ―What’s the

matter with you?‖ he asked. ―I have every illness in the medical

encyclopedia.‖ I told him how I read the medical encyclopedia. Then he

opened my mouth and looked at my tongue, and he felt my pulse, and he

listened to my heart. Then he sat down and wrote a prescription. It said:

• 3 good meals every day

• A two-mile walk every day morning

• Be in bed at 11 o’clock every night

• Don’t read medical books!

I followed the doctor’s instructions, and I am happy to say that I now feel

quite well again

A bird develops from an egg cell that is fertilized in the body of the

female. Inside the cell, this fertilized egg cell divides many times. The

cells form tissues, the tissues form organ that make up systems of

organs. Before the egg hatches, most of the organs, of the adult bird have

developed.

The development of embryo takes place after the egg leaves the

body of the mother bird. The time that passes after the egg leaves is laid

until it hatches is called the period of incubation. During incubation, the

parent birds keep the eggs warm, usually by covering them with their

bodies. In some species of birds, the incubation period is two weeks. In

others, it is longer till six weeks.

Some birds such as the killdeer, the bobwhite, and the chicken, are

well developed when they hatch. The young of these birds have feathers

and can run about and feed themselves shortly after they come from the

egg. But the newly hatched young of most birds are completely helpless.

Their eyes are still closed and they have few feathers. While the young

birds are in the nest, they grow rapidly in size, their eyes open, feathers

develop, and the birds get stronger. During this time, the baby birds need

a great amount of food. Usually both the parent birds devote all their time

to finding the food.

Perhaps you have seen robins nesting. The female usually builds the

nest in which he lays from three to five pale-blue eggs. The eggs are

incubated by the female and hatch, both parents find food for babies. The

young develop rapidly, and two weeks after hatching they are ready to

leave the nest. Have you ever seen a young robin soon after it has left its

nI have been thinking for a long time. How can I be clever at mastering a

language? All of sudden, a sort of novel idea comes to my mind. It is a good

dictionary what language learners need to have. Why is it so?

Firstly, a good dictionary can help you. When you learn a language, you are

actually learning words, thousands of words. All words are available in the

dictionary.

Secondly, a good dictionary also contains a lot of patterns of words or

grammatical patterns. You can look up the patterns in the dictionary.

Thirdly, a good dictionary is the best teacher. The reason of this is very

simple. When you find new words out of class or school, your teacher is not

always there to help you. Who else can help you there? That is the

dictionary.

Fourthly, a good dictionary can be a good friend anytime, anywhere

because you can carry and read it in the morning, in the afternoon, in the

middle of the night whether studying in the room, in the living room, out of

class, out of house or wherever you stay.

Thus, based on the facts above I can conclude that every language learner

must require a good dictionary.

n 38. What does the text tell us about?

A. How to be clever.

B. How to use dictionary.

C. How to learn foreign language.

D. How to choose a good dictionary.

E. The need of dictionary for the language learner.

A. Language learner.

B. Dictionary contains words.

C. Dictionary contain patterns.

D. Dictionary is the best teacher.

E. Language learner needs a dictionary.

C. Language learners can treat a dictionary as a friend.

D. A good dictionary can also be the best teacher.

nGlobalization is a social change formed by the increase of interrelation

among society and its elements and happens because of acculturation and

technology development

Globalization gives new nuance and wide impact to the immigrants in

different culture. World becomes more various in aspect of ethnics, race

and skin colour. Nowadays social growth brings about the cultural changes

which have pluralistic and cultural characters.

Globalization has positive effect if we can adapt better, by improving

the self quality and selective attitude to the foreign cultural adoption.

The positive of globalization can be seen in the change of the development

system. In this case, national development has given wide opportunity for

Indonesian society to get proper education.

In the change of life view, globalization expands the concept of the balance

between material and immaterial development.

nNevertheless, globalization results in some negative effects as well.

The society experiences cultural shock because they are not ready to

accept the foreign culture immediately. Globalization makes the value in

social life not ready to anticipate the changes happened in the community.

It may bring about cultural value destruction having been adopted by the

local society.

Good or bad, the changes that caused by the globalization must be

faced with selective attitude to receive the new culture and strong self-

ability to fight for it.

n 41. What is the main idea of the text?

A. Globalization cannot be avoided.

B. Globalization only creates bad effect.

C. Globalization destroys the social values.

D. We must throw away the globalization.

E. We must face the globalization wisely.

What does the underlined word refer to?

A. Elements. C. Acculturation. E. Society

B. Globalization. D. Development.

When author Nicholas Sparks sat down to write The Notebook, a tender

love story inspired by the enduring relationship of his wife Cathy's

grandparents, he wanted his readers to walk away with a renewed spirit of

"I'll never forget watching those two people flirt," he recalls. "I mean,

you don't see that very often. They’d been married 67 years, and yet they

still loved each other. I wanted to write a book about that kind of love. I

wanted people to know that unconditional love does exist."

So Sparks created The Notebook, the simple story of Noah Calhoun, a

soft spoken North Carolina outdoorsman who carried his love for the willowy

Allie Nelson with him long after their youthful romance had ended. He

paralleled Noah's silent passions with Allie's haunting thoughts—feelings

she could not escape even after she became engaged to another man. He

asked his readers to consider what it might mean if these relatively happy,

middle-aged people found their destinies once again overlapped.

nHe presented a question all but universal in appeal: What would happen

if two people were given a second chance at the love of a lifetime?

Sparks deftly answers that question. But it's the inspiration drawn from his

real life grandparents that makes The Notebook more than just a novel of

flames reignited. The novel opens and closes with an elderly Noah Calhoun

reading aloud from his personal journals and "notebooks." And as he shares

the delicate details, the good with the bad, it's clear he is as enchanted with

Allie in old age as he was on the day they met.

"And that’s the legacy of The Notebook," according to Nicholas Sparks.
