ISWAHYUDI (1918 – 1947)
Iswahyudi
Wiryomihardjo is the first Indonesian Air Marshall who died on duty. After
graduating from Algemene Middelbare School
(AMS), a high school in Malang, he went on to medical school. However, in his
third year, he gave up his studies because he became interested in aviation. In
1941, he became a cadet of the Luchtvaart
Opleidings School, an aviation school. When the Pacific War broke out, he
continued his studies in Australia.
Returning
to Indonesia in 1943, Iswahyudi made a great landing in Loddojo, South Blitar.

Karangmenjangan, Surabaya, then was put under house arrest, but was later
allowed to continue his activities in Surabaya.

The following text is
for questions 12-15.
A natural
disaster is a terrible occurrence, e.g. a great flood, a big fire or an
earthquake. It usually causes great suffering and the loss of large sums of
money. Casualties are injured or die and several people are left homeless and
need medical care.
Floods
occur when the water of rivers, lakes, or streams overflow their banks and
spill onto the surrounding land. Floods are caused by many different things.
Often heavy rainstorms that last for a time cause floods, but not all heavy
storms are followed by flooding, such as if the surrounding land is flat and
can absorb the water. If, however, the land is hard and rocky, heavy rain cannot
be absorbed. Where the banks are low, a river may overflow and flood adjacent
lowland.
In many
parts of the world floods are caused by tropical storms called hurricanes or
typhoons. They bring destructive high speed winds, torrents of rain and flooding.
When a flood occurs, the destruction to the surrounding land can be severe.
Whole villages and towns may be swept away by water drifting swiftly over land.
Railroad tracks and buckles are uprooted from their beds. Highways are washed
away.
When a building
caught fire, the fireman pitched in to help battle the blaze. Before pumps were
invented, people formed bucket brigades to fight fires. Standing side by side,
they formed a human chain from the fire to nearby well or river. They passed
buckets of water from hand to hand to be poured onto the flames.
The fire
damage depended a great deal on where it happened. In the country or a small
village, only a single house might burn down. But in crowded cities, fire often
destroyed whole blocks and neighbourhoods before being controlled.
12. What can possibly prevent rivers and lakes from
overflowing?
A. An
absorbent bed.
B. A rocky
surrounding.
C. A low
land.
D. A high
bank.
E. A high
road.
13. We know from the text that…
A. rivers
can cause heavy floods.
B. people
can make money from floods.
C. the
destruction by flood is always less severe.
D. flood
water is absorbed by land directly.
E. typhoon
cause heavy floods.
14. We know from the text that…
A. the pump
is the only tool used by fire fighters now.
B. the pump
helps people fight fires more efficiently.
C. fires in
big cities are always very big.
D. people
no long use buckets to control fire.
E. only
firemen can control fires in crowded cities.
15. “They bring destructive high speed winds, torrents of
rain and flooding.” (Paragraph 3)

A. floods
B. low
river banks
C.
hurricanes or typhoons
D. many

Being on
time is a beautiful social ethic and one of great importance, as it creates
efficiency in systems and forms respect for one another. However, it is one of
the many values that is not easy for our students to learn.
Inner
discipline, one that comes from an understanding of the set rules and
regulations, is the highest form of behaviour. Most excellent schools try to
instill this with a loving environment. Whey, even adults arrive late for
meetings, work, etc. Here, we do not agree that late comers should be shut out.
They can give them warnings, most of which are enough to make them try their
best to reach the school on time, afterwards. If this fails, invite their
parents to school.
By closing
the gates, the school is behaving cruelly, to which we prefer not to expose our
children. Every school has a responsibility to implant good educational
principle, but it should be in appropriate ways. Good schools create
competitive students who can organize themselves effectively in society, so
that everyone gets a quality life as a result of ethics and values learned for
as long as 12 years.
Children
are precious and dependent on adults for guidance. Understanding them is the
key and to this end, both parents and schools must work hand in hand without
playing the blame game.
16. What should the school do if a student can’t stop
his/her habit of being late for school?
A. Punish
them.
B. Shut
them.
C. Fail
them.
D. Talk to
their parents.
E. Try to
understand them.
17. What does the writer think to be “the highest form of
behavior”? (Paragraph 2)
A. Respect
for one another.
B. Not
being late for school.
C.
Understanding the regulations.
D.
Understanding the rules.
E. Inner
discipline.
18. “Children are precious and dependent on adults
for guidance.” (Paragraph 4)
The underlined word is closest in meaning to…
A. Valuable
B.
Excellent
C. Clever
D. Innocent
E. Naïve
19. What does the writer think of closing the school gates?
A. It is
good for students.
B. It
should not be done.
C. It is
not an effective punishment.
D. It will
make student come late again.
E. It is
effective to make students come earlier.

Title :
Stop Growing Older… Grow Younger
Author : J
Collins Towers
Rating :
Good!
Publisher : Booklocker.com,

Web page :

Reviewed by : Kym
Markowitz
Stop Growing Older… Grow Younger
contains a massive, almost overwhelming, amount of information regarding
methods the author claims will not only keep a person from aging, but will
reverse the aging process. Some of the suggestions J Collin Towers are not
unexpected. He suggests getting plenty of exercise, including strength training
and he touts the benefits of drinking plenty of water. He also spans pages
talking about good nutrition and the importance of eating lean meats, unrefined
whole grains and plenty of fruits and vegetables, especially those rich in
antioxidants. When he discusses specific nutrients, Towers included several
helpful lists of the most beneficial foods, including a list of functional
foods, which “promote health and provide more than basic nutrition.” He also
recommends many lesser known treatments to heal and restore the body, including
ozone therapy, use of magnetism and supplements that would be unfamiliar to the
majority of people.
Towers has
done extensive research into health and fitness. Unfortunately, most of the
information is poorly cited and from potentially unreliable internet sources
and the reference list does not appear to be as long as one would expect for a
book this large and full of information. While it’s very possible that much of
the information contained in the book is accurate and factual, it is difficult
for the reader to sort through. Collins encourages the reader to form their own
opinion about the methods and products mentioned in his book, however; this
would be made easier if the sources of information were better documented. An
index would also be very helpful and would improve the book’s value as a
resource. Perhaps these concerns would be addressed in a later edition.
Overall, Stop Growing Older… Grow Younger provides
a wealth of information for the reader to consider, if they wish to improve
their own health. However, readers should be warned not to take the advice
verbatim without doing their own research.

The following text is
for questions 23-25.
Study
groups are commonly utilized by many students to prepare themselves for class
discussions, examinations, or class presentations. They can also make use of it
to review their weak points and learn new ideas. I myself find that we can
learn more effectively in a study group. However, I can’t deny that study
groups also have disadvantages.
On the
positive side, a study group gives the students motivation to study and update
their readings because the other members are likely to give them encouragement.
It also helps them learn new ideas as well as important points they missed on
their readings. Most of the members in my study group are very open in sharing
what they know. These alert me that I should update my readings so I could also
share in return.
On the
other hand, the disadvantage of a study group is the part of compelling the
students to attend it after class or during their free time. Commitment among
each member is also an important aspect in a study group. Hence the members of
a study group have to set aside other activities to study together.
To join a
study group or not is the student’s own choice, because there are other
students who learn better when they do it on their own. If a student thinks
they will be learning effectively in a group, they had better go on and enjoy
the fun way of learning.
23. Some students are motivated to study in a study group
because the other members likely…
A. give
them better ideas
B. come up
with important ideas
C. are more
clever than them
D. solve
the problem
E.
encourage them to study
24. The writer finds it necessary to join a study group
because…
A. he knows
study groups also have disadvantages
B. he
should update his readings
C. he can
learn more effectively
D. the
members in his group are open minded
E. his
friends have more knowledge compared to him
25. From the text, we know that…
A. a study
group has nothing to do with reading ability.
B. the
members have to sacrifice their time for their study group.
C. the
writer doesn’t think a study group is useful for him.
D. an
agreement made to study regularly in a study group isn’t necessary.
E. a study
group is always useful for everybody.
The following text is

Remote
sensing is the acquisition of information about an object or phenomenon,
without making physical contact with the object. In modern usage, the term
generally refers to the use of aerial sensor technology to detect and classify
objects on Earth (both on the surface and in the atmosphere and oceans) by means
of propagated signals (e.g. electromagnetic radiation emitted from aircrafts or
satellites.)
There are
two main types of remote sensing: passive remote sensing and active remote
sensing. Passive sensors detect natural radiation that is emitted or reflected
by the object or surrounding area being observed. Reflected sunlight is the
most common source of radiation measured by passive sensors. Examples of
passive remote sensors include film photography, infra-red, charge-coupled
devices, and radiometers. Active collection, on the other hand, emits energy in
order to scan objects and areas whereupon a sensor then detects and measures
the radiation is reflected or backscattered from the target. RADAR and LIDAR
are examples of active remote sensing where the time delay between emission and
return is measured, stabilizing the location, height, speed and direction of an
object.
26. From the text we know that remote sensing…
A. is a way
to obtain information about an object or phenomenon
B. is not
difficult to do
C. makes
physical contact with the object
D. does not
make use of sensors
E. does not
make use of propagated signals
27. What is the main idea of the second paragraph?
A. Active
sensing is better than passive sensing.
B. The
energy in sunlight is important for remote sensing.
C. Passive
sensing is not as strong as active sensing.
D. The
source of energy radiated for sensing determines whether it is the active or
passive type.
E. Active
remote sensing and passive remote sensing are equally useful for the
development of knowledge and technology.
28. Based on the text we can say that…
A. remote
sensing is expensive technology
B. remote
sensing is useful for transportation
C. we can
apply the technology to study animals
D. medical
science can be improved through remote sensing
E. remote
sensing makes it possible to collect information of an object in a dangerous
area.
29. What is the text about?
A. The
description of remote sensing in general.
B. The
advantages of remote sensing.
C. The pros
and cons of remote sensing.
