I let it fall, my heart
And as it fell, you rose to claim it
It was dark and I was over
Until you kissed my lips and you saved me
My hands, they were strong, but my knees were far too weak
To stand in your arms without falling to your feet
But there's a side to you that I never knew, never knew
All the things you'd say, they were never true, never true
And the games you'd play, you would always win, always win
But I set re to the rain
Watched it pour as I touched your face
Well, it burned while I cried
'Cause I heard it screaming out your name, your name
When laying with you I could stay there
Close my eyes, feel you here forever
You and me together, nothing is better
'Cause there's a side to you that I never knew, never knew
And the games you's play, you would always win, always win
I set re to the rain
And I threw us into the ames
Well, I felt something die
'Cause I knew that that was the last time, the last time
Sometimes I wake up by the door
And heard you calling, must be waiting for you
Even that when we're already over
I can't help myself from looking for you
Watched it pour as I touch your face
'Cause I knew that that was the last time, the last time, oh
Oh, no
Let it burn, oh
Let it burn.

Too big a risk
Reports about the easing of restrictions in other countries are ever so tempting. Even in China where a second wave of COVID-19 infections is not ruled out, kindergartens have opened; likewise,
classes have started in Japan and Denmark with school staff taking temperatures at the door and with desks set further apart than usual.
In Australia, Prime Minister Scott Morrison announced Friday a three-step plan for restarting economic and social life with July set as the nal "aspirational" target. In the rst phase to start
"soon", weddings can have a maximum of 10 guests, cafes and restaurants can have up to 10 patrons with at least 4 square meters of space per person; but international travel is unlikely to
resume in the near future.
Last Friday Malaysia announced most businesses would be allowed to resume operations and childcare centres would open. However, parents remain fearful about taking chances. Therefore,
governments are assessing their own societies on when and how to go about relaxing restrictions.
In Indonesia as millions become deeply fearful about how to feed their families in the coming weeks, hopes are high that the economy can slowly resume. But however closely we may try to
imitate the disciplined measures in the above countries, there are already too many holes in the enforcement of the large-scale social restrictions (PSBB).
The national COVID-19 taskforce chief Doni Monardo said Wednesday that essential travel was now allowed, such as for medical personnel but he also described the presence of a military
ofcer's wife at his handover ceremony as "important". So, what other interpretations could there be of what is "essential"?
Adapted fromhttps://www.thejakartapost.com/academia/2020/05/09/too- big-a-risk.html
The world is affected by the burden of virus 19 in many sectors, one of them is economy. Not only Indonesia is worried by the decrease of the economy situation but also other countries, such as

Princess Mandalika (The Story of Bau Nyale)
( Folklore from West Nusa Tenggara)
ONCE upon a time, there was a kingdom in Lombok. The king had a very beautiful daughter. Her name was Princess Mandalika. She was very beautiful; many young princes fell in love with her
and wanted to marry her. Princess Mandalika was a kind girl. She hated to make people sad. When those princes came to propose her, she was very confused.
The king then held a competition at Seger Kuta beach, Lombok. He asked the princes to take part in an archery competition. The rule was simple: whoever shot the target perfectly, he could be
the husband Princess Mandalika.
The princes tried their best and they were great at archery. So, there was no a winner. Then they claimed to be the best and started ghting. Soon, the ghting was like a war, because the
princes brought their soldiers in the archery competition. Princess Mandalika was really worried. She did not want the war to hurt many people. Then, she got an idea. "I can't be all your wives. I
don't want you to ght because of me. I want you all to have me, but not as your wives. I want to be someone that everybody can have. I want to be useful for you," said Princess Mandalika. The
king and other people on the beach did not understand what she meant. Suddenly, Princess Mandalika jumped to the sea. She was disappeared in the big chaos waves. People were screaming.
The princes tried to swim to nd her. But no one dared to jump in the sea because the waves were too high.
After several hours trying to search the princess, suddenly they found a lot of sea worms on the beach. The king then realized that his daughter had returned as sea worms. Later he named the
worms as nyale.

Because of their colorful and unique display, rainbows have generated countless legends and myths throughout history. Among the most popular is the Irish folklore that Leprechauns store their
pot of gold at the end of a rainbow. But the truth is, rainbows can be seen only if you are in the right place at the right time.
Rainbows can be seen when light passes through raindrops, says Kristin Calhoun, a research scientist at the National Oceanic & Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), the scientic agency
focusing in part on the conditions of weather.
When a person sees a rainbow, it's really an optical illusion created by the refraction and reection of light. An optical illusion is when you see something that appears to be something other
than what is really there. They're not located at a specic distance. The location is relative to the person.
When sunlight passes through raindrops, the light bends, or refracts, as it enters the droplet, and then reects off the inside of the raindrop. This happens because the water is denser than the
air that surrounds it. As it exits the droplet, the light separates into wavelengths. Visible light is made up of various wavelengths, and each wavelength appears as a different color: red, orange,
yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet. Red light, for example, bends at a different angle than violet light.
This is why "the person on the ground sees each color at a different location and why rainbows look like a bow or an arc. Sometimes, however, rainbows can actually form an entire circle that you
can see in a plane with the right conditions.
Because rainbows are created by light via raindrops, the best time to catch a rainbow is when it's sunny and raining. There is an even better chance when the sun is at a lower angle, so early or
later in the day. If you're trying to spot one, the key is to face the rain and have your back to the sun.
Adapted from https://unfoldanswers.com/how-does-the-rainbow-occur/
Based on paragraph 4, statement "Each color in rainbow bends at a similar angle", is included TRUE or FALSE?
Once upon a time in the edge of East Java Island, there was a kingdom named Blambangan. The kingdom was led by a king named King Sulahkromo. He was assisted by a brave knight named
Patih Sidopekso in ruling his kingdom. Patih Sidopekso had a very beautiful wife named Sri Tanjung. Because of her beauty, the king was crazy about her. Even, the king had made a plan to take
away Sri Tanjung from Patih Sidopekso. He ordered Patih Sidopekso to do a mission that was very hard and dangerous so that Patih Sidopekso would die there. Without suspicion, Patih
Sidopekso went to do The King's command. When Patih Sidopekso was going on his duty, King Sulahkromo seduced Sri Tanjung in order to be his wife. However, Sri Tanjung stayed faithful to
Patih Sidopekso. The king was angry because he was rejected by Sri Tanjung.
After getting back from his duty, Patih Sidopekso went to see the King in the hall. The king who was hurt because his love was rejected then accused Sri Tanjung that she had seduced him. Patih
Sidopekso was upset to hear what was told by the king. He felt he had been betrayed by his wife. Then he went to see his wife and asked for the truth immediately. Sri Tanjung refuted what was
said by the king. Nevertheless, Patih Sidopekso more believed to the king than his wife. And then dragged her to the edge of a muddy river. He was so angry there and wanted to kill his wife.
Because her husband did not trust her anymore, Sri Tanjung asked for a last request to him. She said that if he did not trust her any more, he might kill her and threw her body into the river. Sri
Tanjung also said that when the water turned to be clean it meant she was right. Nevertheless, if it did not change, the king was right.
Patih Sidopekso couldn't stand his anger any longer and then he stabbed his wife with a knife. Then he threw his wife's body into the river. Immediately the turbid river turned into clean and
diffused the fragrance. Seeing the incident, Patih Sidopekso regretted what he had done. He realized that his wife was innocent. Then he screamed loudly "Banyu …………… ….. …Wangi. Banyu
Wangi ….. "Since the incident happened, the river was called Banyuwangi.

How do you study when the test is coming? Do you start preparing for the test weeks or months before the test or leave things to the last hour? If you start studying weeks or months before the
test, it is great. However, if you study all the material in the last hour or minute, it is not good for you. This is called cramming.
Cramming is when students stay up all night until morning to study before a test or nish an assignment. This habit can lead to negative impacts, the rst being that disruptions in the regular
sleep cycle can cause temporary intellectual lapses. For most students, less sleep can make them could not focus on the class. Additionally, cramming can leave us with memory lapses as well.
Each person has a different sleeping schedule, so some of them often use a stimulant for cramming. An example stimulant, and the most common, is coffee. While delicious and benecial, it
causes many problems in the long-term such as Caffeine Intoxication Syndrome, anxiety, panic, and headaches.
To sum up, cramming is not recommended because it disturbs a person's sleep cycle which causes temporary intellectual lapses, and using stimulants for cramming gives them a bad effect on
their health.
Based on the text, please decide whether these statements are true or false
A. Consuming caffeine in a controlled amount will help us to avoid cramming.
B. Over time, cramming can result to death if its not treated well

Culture shock is the feeling of disorientation experienced by someone when they are suddenly subjected to an unfamiliar culture and way of life. It can be caused by a range of things such as
unfamiliar greetings, hand gestures, food. This unfamiliarity can lead to symptoms such as confusion, anxiety, frustration, loneliness, and homesickness. It can even lead to physical symptoms
such as insomnia, or colds and stomach bugs due to unfamiliar foods and bacteria. There are four different culture shock stages to the process – honeymoon, negotiation, adjustment and
adaptation. Read on to nd out more about each stage.
The Honeymoon Stage is the rst stage of culture shock, and it can often last for several weeks or even months. This is the euphoric phase when you're fascinated by all the exciting and different
aspects of your new life – from the sights and smells to the pace of life and cultural habits. During this phase, you're quick to identify similarities between the new culture and your own, and you
nd the locals hospitable and friendly. You may even nd things that would be a nuisance back home, such as a trafc jam, amusing and charming in your new location.
Next is the negotiation stage which is characterized by frustration and anxiety. This usually hits around the three-month mark, although it can be earlier for some individuals. As the excitement
gradually disappears you are continually faced with difculties or uncomfortable situations that may offend or make you feel disconnected. Maybe you can't remember the way back to your new
home because the street signs are confusing, or you can't fathom how and what to order in a restaurant. At this point, you also start to miss your friends and family back home.
Around 6 months, you will reach adjustment stage. This is the stage where life gradually starts to get better and routine sets in. You begin to become more familiar with the local way of life, food
and customs. By this point you may have made a few friends or learnt some of the languages, helping you to adjust and better understand the local culture.
Finally, you reach the adaptation stage; sometimes know as the bicultural stage. You now feel comfortable in your new country and better integrated – you have successfully adapted to your new
way of life. You no longer feel isolated and lonely and are used to your new daily activities and friends. When coming back to your place, you may experience re-entry shock.
Adapted from https://www.now-health.com/en/blog/culture-shock-stages/
What can we infer from the text?
A. Honeymoon stage is when someone feels happy moving to new places.
B. Adaptation stage is when someone wants to go back to his/ her origin.
C. Culture shock happens because of confusion, anxiety, and loneliness.
D. Negotiation stages may come around 6 months after moving to new places.
E. Adjustment stage means that someone has already felt bicultural.

Made friends and lost them through the years

I'm on my way
Driving at ninety down those country lanes
Singing to ""Tiny Dancer""
And I miss the way you make me feel, and it's real
We watched the sunset over the castle on the hill
Fifteen years old and smoking hand-rolled cigarettes
Running from the law through the backelds and getting drunk with my friends
Had my rst kiss on a Friday night, I don't reckon that I did it right
But I was younger then, take me back to when
We found weekend jobs, when we got paid
We'd buy cheap spirits and drink them straight
Me and my friends have not thrown up in so long, oh how we've grown
Over the castle on the hill
One friend left to sell clothes
One works down by the coast
One had two kids but lives alone
One's brother overdosed
One's already on his second wife

Oniomania (compulsive shopping, or what's more commonly referred to as shopping addiction) is perhaps the most socially acceptable addiction. Think about it. We are surrounded by
advertising that tells us that buying will make us happy. We are encouraged by politicians to spend as a way of boosting the economy. And, for some of us, there is an allure of wanting what
everyone else seems to have. Consumerism, by our own intentions or not (or some combination), has become a measure of social worth.
Shopping addiction is a behavioral addiction that involves compulsive buying as a way to feel good and avoid negative feelings, such as anxiety and depression. Like other behavioral addictions,
shopping addiction can take over as a preoccupation that leads to problems in other areas of your life. Usually beginning in one's late teens and early adulthood, shopping addiction often cooccurs with other disorders, including mood and anxiety disorders, substance use disorders, eating disorders, other impulse control disorders, and personality disorders.
So, what is the difference between normal shopping, occasional splurges, and shopping addiction? As with all addictions, what sets shopping addiction apart from other types of shopping is that
the behavior becomes the person's main way of coping with stress, to the point where they continue to shop excessively even when it is clearly having a negative impact on other areas of their
As with other addictions, money problems can develop and relationships can become damaged, yet people with shopping addiction (sometimes called "shopaholics") feel unable to stop or even
control their spending. People with shopping addiction tend to be more materialistic than other shoppers and try to prop themselves up by seeking status through material objects and seeking
approval from others. They engage in fantasy more than other people, and—as with other people with addictions—have a hard time resisting their impulses.
As a result, they are more susceptible to marketing and advertising messages that surround us on a daily basis.

Fort Rotterdam was built on the location of an earlier Makassarese fort, called Ujung Pandang. Although it has been claimed by some authors that this fort dates back to 1545, there is no direct
evidence for this. It seems more likely that the fort was built in 1634, as part of a fortication programme that the Makassar rulers undertook in response to a war with the Dutch East India
Company (VOC) which broke out in that year. The original fort, Jum Pandan (allegedly named after the pandanus trees growing in the vicinity), gave its name to the city Ujung Pandang, another
name for the city of Makassar.
The stone for the construction of the fort was taken from the karst mountains in Maros, the limestone from Selayar and the timber from Tanete and Bantaeng. Following the Java War of 1825–
1830, Javanese prince, and now national hero, Diponegoro was imprisoned in the fort following his exile to Makassar in 1830 until his death in 1855. It was also used as a Japanese prisoner of
war camp in World War II.

example land use changes such as deforestation and removal of wetlands, changes in waterway course such as with levees, and larger environmental issues such as climate change and sea
level rise. There are many different ways oods can occur, these can be put into 3 different groups. They are ash oods, storm surges, and dam failures.
Flash oods happen very fast and with little or no warning. This type of ood is more dangerous and deadly due to the fact that the water rises very quickly and there's usually a high ow
pushing many things with it. Causes for this are heavy rainfall intensication and the vegetation and the physical features of the area. Urban areas are most effected with ash oods due to the
fact that they do not have as much natural drainage and because of the high amounts of impermeable surfaces. Flash oods happens many times in a river because water can ow downhill onto
the river and overll it, making it ood.
Storm surges is the rising of sea levels, this happens because of high winds and with pressure changes and sometimes high tides. They happen because the friction between the air and the
water creates a drag. Extreme low-pressure systems and also tropical cyclones can create storm surges.
Dams are made to stop water from overowing in an area. But sometimes the dam is built and unpredictably the water is surpassing the maximum the dam can hold, this releases a sudden burst
of water which can cause ash oods and destroy many things because of how powerful the water is after the sudden burst and that it may ow downstream to a town.

One day, while the old woman was down at the river washing clothes, a big peach came oating down the river! It looked so delicious; she decided to take it home for her and her husband to eat. When the old man came back to their home, the old woman cut the peach open, and to their surprise, there was a small boy inside! They decided to call him Momotaro, which means 'peach boy'.
The old couple raised Momotaro to be big and strong. One day, he decided to go and defeat the ogres living on Ogre Island that were pillaging the land. The old woman xed him some delicious
millet dumplings, known as kibi-dango, for his long journey to the island. On the way, a monkey, a dog, and a pheasant joined him, giving them a dumpling each in return for their help in ghting
the ogres.

Consumer Behavior: How People Make Buying Decisions
Consumer behaviour is the study of knowing how individual customers, groups or organisations select, buy, use and dispose of ideas, goods and services to satisfy their needs and desires. It
refers to the actions of the consumers in the marketplace and the underlying motives for those actions. Let's take a look at the stages of the consumer buying journey.
Often the rst step of the buying journey involves identifying a problem or a need. Sometimes, your customers need might be as simple as wanting to be an early adopter, someone who enjoys
being 'rst' to have or use a particular product.
The next step is searching for a solution on how to solve the problem. Let's take that new mobile phone you are thinking of buying. If your old phone has broken down, you can either research
repair shops or you can start looking at new models. Consumers conduct searches internally or externally. An internal search means that the consumer falls back on their personal experiences
(I'm an Apple fan) while external search relies on anecdotes from friends and family and probably the internet (your mum tells you to buy an android because they are better).
The third step in the consumer buying journey is all about comparing different brands and products, evaluating alternatives. After researching a product and building knowledge your customer
may decide to research alternative products available in the market.
Then comes "the actual purchase decision". At this stage, the buyer has nished evaluating the alternatives and is ready to make a decision. This is the magical moment of truth when the
consumer selects a brand to purchase. In the evaluation phase, purchase intentions are developed after the buyer ranks the brand according to all options available to them.
(Adapted from: https://rebelconnect.com.au/marketing/consumer-buying-behaviour/ , retrieved on Dec 19 , 2020)
Based on the above text, write the truth value (true/false) on each of the following statements.
A. After evaluating a product, costumer decides a product to purchase.
B. Need recognition is the very rst step in the consumer buying journey.
C. Customer decides to buy a product without comparing different brands.
The Legend of the Three Sisters
Long, long ago, the mystical land of Gondwana was beautiful, peaceful and untouched. In Gondwana, there lived Tyawan, a Clever Man of the Gundungurra people. He had three daughters
called Meenhi, Wimlah and Gunnedoo, whom he treasured above all else.
In a deep hole in the valley there lived a Bunyip, a huge evil creature who loved to feast on human esh, particularly that of young girls and women. Its cry was harsh and horrible as if the only
safe thing to do was running away as quickly as possible. Everyone feared the Bunyip.
As everyone needed to pass its hole, it was important to creep very quietly so that it was not disturbed.
When Tyawan had to pass the hole, he would leave his daughters safely on the cliff above behind a rocky wall – just in case!
One day, waving goodbye to his daughters, he descended the cliff steps down towards the path near the Bunyip's hole. While the girls were waiting and chatting on top of the cliff, a huge
centipede suddenly appeared. Startled, Meenhi screamed, jumped up, picked up a stone and threw it at the centipede.
The stone missed the centipede, but rolled over the edge of the cliff and, picking up speed, crashed into the valley below. The sound echoed all around the mountains. Birds, animals and even
fairies stopped still as the rocks behind the three sisters, shook and split open, leaving them perched together on a thin ledge.
The Bunyip, angry at being awakened, roared and dragged himself through the split to see the terried sisters cowering on the ledge. His evil eyes widened in delight at the feast before him.
Tyawan looked up and saw the Bunyip reaching for his daughters, so he pointed his magic bone at the girls and immediately turned them to stone. They would be safe there until the Bunyip had
gone and then Tyawan would change them back to their former selves.
But the Bunyip, angered at being deprived of his prey, chased Tyawan through the forest and up a mountain where he found himself trapped. So Tyawan used his magic bone again and changed
himself into a Lyre Bird and glided away. Everyone was safe. But then, in dismay, Tyawan realised that he had dropped his bone whilst changing.
After the Bunyip had gone back to his deep dark pool, Tyawan glided down to the forest oor and searched and searched for his magic bone ... where he can still be seen to this day, in the shape
of the Lyre bird, scratching and searching the forest oors of the Blue Mountains, looking for his bone, calling to his daughters above and feeding on insects whilst he searches.
The Three Sisters stand silently watching him from their ledge, hoping and hoping that one day their father will nd his magic bone and be able turn them back to Aboriginal girls.

Buttery Lovers
(From China)
Long time ago in China, girls were expected to stay at home and learnt household work while the boys went to school, but a girl named Zhu conceived a desire to study but her father did not
want to ght against tradition. He was condent that no school would admit a girl even Zhu's family was wealthy.
Zhu disguised herself as a boy and managed to get a school in the city of Hangzhou, where her aunt lived.
There was a boy named Liang in her class. The two became good friends. As the years passed they became inseparable companions. Zhu realized that she was in love. She wanted to stay with
Liang the rest of her life.
After nishing school, Liang lost no time in taking up a job, and when he had saved enough to get married he hastened to Zhu's house. Zhu saw him coming, and was overjoyed. "I'm your friend,
as you can see I'm a girl. Unable to restrain herself she rushed out, I cannot live without you!"
Liang was dazed but it soon recovered and caught Zhu in a warm embrace. Zhu took him to her father who listened attentively to what Liang had to say, but when the young man asked for Zhu's
hand, he shook his head. He told Liang that Zhu had already been promised to another man, a wealthy merchant. Nothing that Liang said could make Zhu's father change his mind. Liang left,
shattered. On the way, he collapsed and died.
When Zhu learnt of Liang's death, she lost all desire to continue living. She pretended to agree to the marriage arranged for her on one condition that the wedding procession passed by Liang's
grave. As the wedding procession near, Zhu jumped down from her palanquin and rushing to Liang's grave threw herself on it, sobbing uncontrollably. Zhu leapt into it. When Zhu's relatives
reached the grave and peered into it, all they saw at rst was an empty cofn. Then out ew two butteries, dancing as if they could not believe they were together.

In 1914, Europe was a tinderbox of tension and military rivalry. The spark for war could have been many incidents; but, as it happened the assassination of an Austrian Archduke – Franz
Ferdinand by a Serb provoked widespread declarations of war and the fullment of treaties which led to the horrendous conict of the First World War.
The war was to last four years and cost the lives of millions of men and women from all corners of the world. The First World War also led to profound social change. After the First World War,
there was increased recognition for the role of women in society, with many countries giving women the vote. There was also greater emphasis placed on the role of the working class, who had
fought and died in the war, and now wanted a better peace. In 1918/19 there was global u pandemic which killed nearly 50 million people (many young adults) but such was the carnage of the
First World War, it had only a limited effect on changing the world as many governments downplayed its impact.

Since the publication of Marx's Communist Manifesto, there had been sporadic Communist revolutions in European countries, but nothing had really succeeded. But in October 1917, the
Bolshevik revolution, led by Lenin, brought about a radical new form of government with worldwide implications. Lenin was a fervent Marxist and wasted little time in implementing his version
of a 'dictatorship of the Proletariat'.
Communist Russia divided the world. It was seen by some as an alternative to the inequities of Capitalism and by others as an embodiment of totalitarianism and lack of freedom. The Soviet
Union transformed the lives of Russian people – it led to economic growth, but also increased political repression. The ideology of the Soviet Union also led to a prolonged 'Cold War' – with an

Is Social Media bad for Teenagers?
Social media, such as Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Tik Tok and many others have become nearly inescapable facets of modern life, particularly for teenagers. Social media is becoming more than
just a part of their world, but it's becoming their world. Teenagers are spending more time online, usually on a social media platform like Facebook or Twitter. Most teenagers have smart phones
where they are on social media networks all throughout the day now. They are constantly texting, tweeting, and posting pictures via Snapchat and Instagram. However, hyper-connected to
social media could be bad for them.
Using social media too much is not good for teenagers because social media in this era has become a place to bully someone. Now, bullying has moved, not only in the schools or in the other
places but also in online social media as an online bullying place. If teenagers are getting bullied, they cannot get away from it. The people will continue to bully them back via social media.
Today, teenagers use social media as their life online from the time they wake up until they back to sleep via their smart phone. A new study has found that teenagers who engage with social
media during the night could disturb their sleep and increase the risk of anxiety and depression. Teenagers are so enthusiastic in using social media. They will wake up at night and log in their
social media, just to make sure that they don't miss out any text or post.
Another impact of social media for teenagers is, teenagers are being more comfortable doing online than doing something physically. A separate study by the National Citizen Service found that,
rather than talking to their parents, girls are more comfort on social media when they are worried. The survey also has notion that girls are more often stress than boys – an average of twice a
Social media such as Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and many others are basically created to connect everyone around the world, so they can interact and communicate each other. However, too
much exposure of social media can also be bad especially for teenagers. As it mentioned above, I believe social media could become media for bullying, risk them of anxiety and depression, and
risk their real-life social interaction. Therefore, social media are dangerous for teenagers' health both mentally and emotionally.

The ancient Olympic Games were primarily a part of a religious festival in honor of Zeus, the father of the Greek gods and goddesses. The festival and the games were held in Olympia, a rural
sanctuary site (model shown here, courtesy of the British Museum) in the western Peloponnesos.
The Greeks that came to the Sanctuary of Zeus at Olympia shared the same religious beliefs and spoke the same language. The athletes were all male citizens of the city-states from every
corner of the Greek world, coming from as far away as Iberia (Spain) in the west and the Black Sea (Turkey) in the east.
The sanctuary was named in antiquity after Mt. Olympos the highest mountain in mainland Greece. In Greek mythology, Mt. Olympos was the home of the greatest of the Greek gods and
goddesses.
The ancient Olympic Games began in the year 776 BC, when Koroibos, a cook from the nearby city of Elis, won the stadion race, a foot race 600 feet long. The stadion track at Olympia is shown
here. According to some literary traditions, this was the only athletic event of the games for the rst 13 Olympic festivals or until 724 BC. From 776 BC, the Games were held in Olympia every
four years for almost 12 centuries.
Contrary evidence, both literary and archaeological, suggests that the games may have existed at Olympia much earlier than this date, perhaps as early as the 10th or 9th century BC.

Reports about the easing of restrictions in other countries are ever so tempting. Even in China where a second wave of COVID-19 infections is not ruled out,
kindergartens have opened; likewise, classes have started in Japan and Denmark with school staff taking temperatures at the door and with desks set further apart than
usual.
In Australia, Prime Minister Scott Morrison announced Friday a three-step plan for restarting economic and social life with July set as the nal "aspirational" target. In the
rst phase to start "soon", weddings can have a maximum of 10 guests, cafes and restaurants can have up to 10 patrons with at least 4 square meters of space per
person; but international travel is unlikely to resume in the near future.
Last Friday Malaysia announced most businesses would be allowed to resume operations and childcare centres would open. However, parents remain fearful about
taking chances. Therefore, governments are assessing their own societies on when and how to go about relaxing restrictions.
In Indonesia as millions become deeply fearful about how to feed their families in the coming weeks, hopes are high that the economy can slowly resume. But however
closely we may try to imitate the disciplined measures in the above countries, there are already too many holes in the enforcement of the large-scale social restrictions

There is almost no other event that could be called as inuential as the printing press that Gutenberg invented around 1440. Before this monumental creation, books
were copied by hand. Laboriously, monks and other men of learning would spend hours and hours through the bright sunlight and the weak light of an oil lamp to make
copies of religious texts, literature, and ofcial documents. It could take years just to copy one book. When Gutenberg devised a printing press that could print copy after
copy in just a small fraction of the time, the whole world changed dramatically. All of a sudden, everyone could have their own copies of the religious scriptures. They
could read them for themselves. Political pamphlets could be made by the thousands and inuence the masses like never before. Learning was not limited to a select
few. It was available for all. Books were not just for the rich. They could be made for those of lower classes. Gutenberg's press changed the political world, the religious
world, and the everyday life of man. No more would we lean on a select few to direct us. We could take it for ourselves.

Fort Rotterdam was built on the location of an earlier Makassarese fort, called Ujung Pandang. Although it has been claimed by some authors that this fort dates back to
1545, there is no direct evidence for this. It seems more likely that the fort was built in 1634, as part of a fortication programme that the Makassar rulers undertook in
response to a war with the Dutch East India Company (VOC) which broke out in that year. The original fort, Jum Pandan (allegedly named after the pandanus trees
growing in the vicinity), gave its name to the city Ujung Pandang, another name for the city of Makassar.
The stone for the construction of the fort was taken from the karst mountains in Maros, the limestone from Selayar and the timber from Tanete and Bantaeng. Following
the Java War of 1825–1830, Javanese prince, and now national hero, Diponegoro was imprisoned in the fort following his exile to Makassar in 1830 until his death in
1855. It was also used as a Japanese prisoner of war camp in World War II.

Consumer behaviour is the study of knowing how individual customers, groups or organizations select, buy, use and dispose of ideas, goods and services to satisfy their
needs and desires. It refers to the actions of the consumers in the marketplace and the underlying motives for those actions. Let's take a look at the stages of the
consumer buying journey.
Often the rst step of the buying journey involves identifying a problem or a need. Sometimes, your customers need might be as simple as wanting to be an early
adopter, someone who enjoys being 'rst' to have or use a particular product.
The next step is searching for a solution on how to solve the problem. Let's take that new mobile phone you are thinking of buying. If your old phone has broken down,
you can either research repair shops or you can start looking at new models. Consumers conduct searches internally or externally. An internal search means that the
consumer falls back on their personal experiences (I'm an Apple fan) while external search relies on anecdotes from friends and family and probably the internet (your
mum tells you to buy an android because they are better).
The third step in the consumer buying journey is all about comparing different brands and products, evaluating alternatives. After researching a product and building
knowledge your customer may decide to research alternative products available in the market.
Then comes "the actual purchase decision". At this stage, the buyer has nished evaluating the alternatives and is ready to make a decision. This is the magical moment
of truth when the consumer selects a brand to purchase. In the evaluation phase, purchase intentions are developed after the buyer ranks the brand according to all
options available to them.

In the step of "Information Search" (paragraph 3), consumer tends to …
A. gather information from internal and external sources
B. rely their decisions on their personal experience only
C. limit their search and simply buy a specic brand again
D. ask friends about their experiences in using the product
E. accumulate information such in advertisements and sales people

Da Tweekaz - How Far I'll Go
I've been staring at the edge of the water
'Long as I can remember, never really knowing why
I wish I could be the perfect daughter
But I come back to the water, no matter how hard I try
Every turn I take, every trail I track
Every path I make, every road leads back
To the place I know, where I cannot go, where I long to be
See the line where the sky meets the sea? It calls me
And no one knows, how far it goes
If the wind in my sail on the sea stays behind me
One day I'll know, if I go there's just no telling how far I'll go
I know everybody on this island, seems so happy on this island
Everything is by design
I know everybody on this island has a role on this island
So maybe I can roll with mine
I can lead with pride; I can make us strong
I'll be satised if I play along
But the voice inside sings a different song
What is wrong with me?
See the light as it shines on the sea? It's blinding
But no one knows, how deep it goes
And it seems like it's calling out to me, so come nd me
And let me know, what's beyond that line, will I cross that line?
One day I'll know, how far I'll go

Geyser: How It Works
A geyser is a rare kind of hot spring that is under pressure and erupts, sending jets of water and steam into the air.
Geysers are made from a tube-like hole in the Earth's surface that runs deep into the crust. The tube is lled with water. Near the bottom of the tube is molten rock
called magma, which heats the water in the tube. Water in the lower part of the tube, close to the magma, becomes superhot. Gradually, it begins to boil. Some of the
water is forced upward. The boiling water begins to steam, or turn to gas. The steam jets toward the surface. Its powerful jet of steam ejects the column of water above
it. The water rushes through the tube and into the air.
The eruption will continue until all the water is forced out of the tube, or until the temperature inside the geyser drops below boiling (100 degrees Celsius, or 212
degrees Fahrenheit, at sea level).
After the eruption, water slowly seeps back into the tube. The process begins again. In some small geysers, the eruption process can take just a few minutes. In larger
geysers, it can take days. The most famous geyser in the United States, Yellowstone National Park's Old Faithful, erupts about every 50-100 minutes.
(Adapted from: https://www.nationalgeographic.org/encyclopedia/geyser/ , retrieved on Dec 19 , 2020)
Based on paragraph 2, geyser activity is caused by surface water that is gradually seeping down through the ground and meets magma.
Is that statement true or false?
Built in lush, mountainous terrain high above the Urubamba River, Machu Picchu lies in one of the most stunning settings of any archeological site in the world.
This ancient city of Incas cascades down steep walls on each side of the mountain, with terraced steps that disappear over cliff edges into the valley below. These
incredible ruins have been restored and are well maintained, giving visitors a good indication of what the city might have looked like when it was occupied during the
15th and 16th centuries.
Many people come to Peru for the sole purpose of visiting Machu Picchu, and the journey to the ruins can be an adventure in and of itself, depending on how travelers
choose to reach the site. Adventurous souls can opt for a guided, multi-day hike and camping trip along the famous Inca Trail to reach the site, or choose the easier
option of accessing the ruins by bus from the small town of Aguas Calientes at the base of the hill, which most visitors get to by train from Cusco or the Sacred Valley.

B. It is an adventurous journey to reach the site of Machu Picchu

The Trowulan Museum's history is intertwined with Trowulan archaeological site itself. The ancient city ruins at Trowulan had been discovered by the 19th century. Sir
Thomas Stamford Rafes, governor of Java from 1811 until 1816 reported the existence of ruins of temples scattered about the country for many miles. Much of the
region was blanketed with dense teak forest at that time, making detailed survey difcult.
The urgent need to prevent looting and stealing from Trowulan archaeological site was one of the main reasons to build a simple archaeological storage building that
became the old Trowulan Museum. It was established by Henri Maclaine Pont, a Dutch architect and archaeologist, and the Mojokerto regent Kanjeng Adipati Ario
Kromodjojo Adinegoro.
The new museum was ofcially opened in 1987. Covering a spacious area of some 57,625 square metres, this new site accommodates the collection of the old Trowulan
Museum, as well as the bulk of the stone sculpture which used to be housed in the museum of Mojokerto.

The Legend of Telaga Pasir
From East Java
Once upon a time, there lived a husband and wife in the jungle of Lawu Mountain, East Java. They were Kyai Pasir and his wife Nyai Pasir. They lived peacefully. Kyai
Pasir was a farmer. He worked in a rice eld. Nyai Pasir just stayed at home.
Kyai Pasir left the house and went to his eld every morning. While he was walking, he stumbled upon something. He looked at the thing carefully, "What is this? Is this
an egg? But what kind of egg is this? It's very big."
Kyai Pasir put the egg back to the ground. At home, Kyai Pasir told his wife about the egg. "Why didn't you bring the egg home?" asked Nyai Pasir. "It's really big. I feel
strange about the egg," explained Kyai Pasir.
"If the egg is very big, then we both can eat it. Please bring the egg home, Kyai," asked Nyai Pasir.

shocked. A horn was growing. And he also had a tail. He changed into a dragon! Meanwhile, at home Nyai Pasir also felt the same. Slowly Nyai Pasir also changed into a

The conquest of Constantinople began on April 6, 1453 AD. The Ottoman army under the leadership of Al-Fatih numbered 150,000 troops with giant weapons such as
the Basilica cannons made with the latest technology at that time. Sultan Mehmed II or commonly known as Muhammad Al Fatih has many good reasons to conquer
Constantinople. The following is the background of the conquest of Constantinople, namely: The Ottoman dynasty wanted to control international trade activities in the
Constantinople area, Muhammad Al Fatih wanted to overthrow the domination of Byzantium by East Rome in the Middle East, Afrming the power of Islamic inuence
in the international world.
The Battle of Constantinople 1453 took place on land, sea and underground. The peak moment of the conquest of Constantinople occurred when Al-Fatih decided to
move the Ottoman warships overland to avoid the underwater chains installed by Roman Byzantium. In just one night, about 70 ships were able to enter the area of the
Golden Horn strait and carry out a total attack on the heart of the defense of Constantinople. On May 29, 1453, Al-Fatih with the Ottoman troops were able to conquer
Constantinople as a whole.

Because of their colourful and unique display, rainbows have generated countless legends and myths throughout history. Among the most popular is the Irish folklore
that Leprechauns store their pot of gold at the end of a rainbow. But the truth is, rainbows can be seen only if you are in the right place at the right time.
Rainbows can be seen when light passes through raindrops, says Kristin Calhoun, a research scientist at the National Oceanic & Atmospheric Administration (NOAA),
the scientic agency focusing in part on the conditions of weather.
When a person sees a rainbow, it's really an optical illusion created by the refraction and reection of light. An optical illusion is when you see something that appears to
be something other than what is really there. They're not located at a specic distance. The location is relative to the person.
When sunlight passes through raindrops, the light bends, or refracts, as it enters the droplet, and then reects off the inside of the raindrop. This happens because the
water is denser than the air that surrounds it. As it exits the droplet, the light separates into wavelengths. Visible light is made up of various wavelengths, and each
wavelength appears as a different colour: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet. Red light, for example, bends at a different angle than violet light.
This is why "the person on the ground sees each colour at a different location and why rainbows look like a bow or an arc. Sometimes, however, rainbows can actually
form an entire circle that you can see in a plane with the right conditions.
Because rainbows are created by light via raindrops, the best time to catch a rainbow is when it's sunny and raining. There is an even better chance when the sun is at a
lower angle, so early or later in the day. If you're trying to spot one, the key is to face the rain and have your back to the sun.

How Social Media Affects the Brain
Due to the effect that it has on the brain, social media is addictive both physically and psychologically. According to a new study by Harvard University, self-disclosure on
social networking sites lights up the same part of the brain that also ignites when taking an addictive substance. The reward area in the brain and its chemical
messenger pathways affect decisions and sensations.
This is observable in social media usage; when an individual gets a notication, such as a like or mention, the brain receives a rush of dopamine and sends it along
reward pathways, causing him or her to feel pleasure. Social media provides an endless number of immediate rewards in the form of attention from others for relatively
minimal effort. Therefore, the brain rewires itself through this positive reinforcement, making people desire likes, retweets, and emoticon reactions.
Another perpetuating factor of social media addiction is the fact that the reward centers of the brain are most active when people are talking about themselves. In real
life, it's estimated that people talk about themselves around 30 to 40% of the time; however, social media is all about showing off one's life and accomplishments, so
people talk about themselves a staggering 80% of the time. When a person posts a picture and gets positive social feedback, it stimulates the brain to release
dopamine, which again rewards that behavior and perpetuates the social media habit.
Social media use becomes problematic when someone views social networking sites as an important coping mechanism to relieve stress, loneliness, or depression. For
these people, social media use provides continuous rewards that they're not receiving in real life, and end up engaging in the activity more and more. This continuous use
eventually leads to multiple interpersonal problems, such as ignoring real life relationships, work or school responsibilities, and physical health, which may then
exacerbate an individual's undesirable moods. This then causes people to engage in the social networking behavior even more as a way of relieving dysphoric mood
states. Consequently, when social network users repeat this cyclical pattern of relieving undesirable moods with social media use, the level of psychological dependency
on social media increases.

The ancient Olympic Games were primarily a part of a religious festival in honor of Zeus, the father of the Greek gods and goddesses. The festival and the games were
held in Olympia, a rural sanctuary site (model shown here, courtesy of the British Museum) in the western Peloponnesos.
The Greeks that came to the Sanctuary of Zeus at Olympia shared the same religious beliefs and spoke the same language. The athletes were all male citizens of the
city-states from every corner of the Greek world, coming from as far away as Iberia (Spain) in the west and the Black Sea (Turkey) in the east.
The sanctuary was named in antiquity after Mt. Olympos the highest mountain in mainland Greece. In Greek mythology, Mt. Olympos was the home of the greatest of
the Greek gods and goddesses.
The ancient Olympic Games began in the year 776 BC, when Koroibos, a cook from the nearby city of Elis, won the stadion race, a foot race 600 feet long. The stadion
track at Olympia is shown here. According to some literary traditions, this was the only athletic event of the games for the rst 13 Olympic festivals or until 724 BC.
From 776 BC, the Games were held in Olympia every four years for almost 12 centuries.
Contrary evidence, both literary and archaeological, suggests that the games may have existed at Olympia much earlier than this date, perhaps as early as the 10th or
9th century BC.
Read text carefully then read the statement below and state whether the statement is true or false!
A. All the citizens could join the games
B. The games were held in a rural sanctuary site in the western Peloponnesos
C. Based on Greek mythology, the Greek gods and goddesses lived at Mt. Olympos.

Online learning has been on the rise in recent years, and it's really not hard to see why. E-learning courses have become hugely popular as well. I agree that the people
or students like most e-learning course compare with enrolling in a face to face training course by some reasons.
Firstly, by online learning people can t them around their existing responsibilities and commitments, and can engage with multimedia content and learning materials at
whatever time is most convenient to them. Even better: they don't have to travel anywhere to study, they can simply log in to the virtual class from the comfort of their
own home or ofce.
Secondly, it's cheaper. Cost can often be a prohibitive factor in why individual students don't enroll in courses they're interested in. This is also an issue for corporations
who wish to encourage their employees to undergo further training but don't have much of a budget for conferences and training courses. Online courses are easily
accessible on much smaller budgets.
In addition to the convenience and the cost, a large number of students are turning to online learning courses because they have become a better way to learn. Those
students who are serious about improving their understanding, learning new skills and gaining valuable qualications are keen to enroll in the type of course that will be
the most effective.
So yes, I would say that online course is now more popular instead of face to face course.

Culture shock is the feeling of disorientation experienced by someone when they are suddenly subjected to an unfamiliar culture and way of life. It can be caused by a
range of things such as unfamiliar greetings, hand gestures, food. This unfamiliarity can lead to symptoms such as confusion, anxiety, frustration, loneliness, and
homesickness. It can even lead to physical symptoms such as insomnia, or colds and stomach bugs due to unfamiliar foods and bacteria. There are four different culture
shock stages to the process – honeymoon, negotiation, adjustment and adaptation. Read on to nd out more about each stage.
The Honeymoon Stage is the rst stage of culture shock, and it can often last for several weeks or even months. This is the euphoric phase when you're fascinated by all
the exciting and different aspects of your new life – from the sights and smells to the pace of life and cultural habits. During this phase, you're quick to identify
similarities between the new culture and your own, and you nd the locals hospitable and friendly. You may even nd things that would be a nuisance back home, such
as a trafc jam, amusing and charming in your new location.
Next is the negotiation stage which is characterized by frustration and anxiety. This usually hits around the three-month mark, although it can be earlier for some
individuals. As the excitement gradually disappears you are continually faced with difculties or uncomfortable situations that may offend or make you feel
disconnected. Maybe you can't remember the way back to your new home because the street signs are confusing, or you can't fathom how and what to order in a
restaurant. At this point, you also start to miss your friends and family back home.
Around 6 months, you will reach adjustment stage. This is the stage where life gradually starts to get better and routine sets in. You begin to become more familiar with
the local way of life, food and customs. By this point you may have made a few friends or learnt some of the languages, helping you to adjust and better understand the
local culture.
Finally, you reach the adaptation stage; sometimes know as the bicultural stage. You now feel comfortable in your new country and better integrated – you have
successfully adapted to your new way of life. You no longer feel isolated and lonely and are used to your new daily activities and friends. When coming back to your
place, you may experience re-entry shock.

Long, long ago, the mystical land of Gondwana was beautiful, peaceful and untouched. In Gondwana, there lived Tyawan, a Clever Man of the Gundungurra people. He
had three daughters called Meenhi, Wimlah and Gunnedoo, whom he treasured above all else.
In a deep hole in the valley there lived a Bunyip, a huge evil creature who loved to feast on human esh, particularly that of young girls and women. Its cry was harsh
and horrible as if the only safe thing to do was running away as quickly as possible. Everyone feared the Bunyip.
One day, waving goodbye to his daughters, he descended the cliff steps down towards the path near the Bunyip's hole. While the girls were waiting and chatting on top
of the cliff, a huge centipede suddenly appeared. Startled, Meenhi screamed, jumped up, picked up a stone and threw it at the centipede.
The stone missed the centipede, but rolled over the edge of the cliff and, picking up speed, crashed into the valley below. The sound echoed all around the mountains.
Birds, animals and even fairies stopped still as the rocks behind the three sisters, shook and split open, leaving them perched together on a thin ledge.
The Bunyip, angry at being awakened, roared and dragged himself through the split to see the terried sisters cowering on the ledge. His evil eyes widened in delight at
the feast before him.
Tyawan looked up and saw the Bunyip reaching for his daughters, so he pointed his magic bone at the girls and immediately turned them to stone. They would be safe
there until the Bunyip had gone and then Tyawan would change them back to their former selves.
But the Bunyip, angered at being deprived of his prey, chased Tyawan through the forest and up a mountain where he found himself trapped. So Tyawan used his magic
bone again and changed himself into a Lyre Bird and glided away. Everyone was safe. But then, in dismay, Tyawan realised that he had dropped his bone whilst
After the Bunyip had gone back to his deep dark pool, Tyawan glided down to the forest oor and searched and searched for his magic bone ... where he can still be seen
to this day, in the shape of the Lyre bird, scratching and searching the forest oors of the Blue Mountains, looking for his bone, calling to his daughters above and feeding
on insects whilst he searches.
The Three Sisters stand silently watching him from their ledge, hoping and hoping that one day their father will nd his magic bone and be able turn them back to
Aboriginal girls.

On 12 May 1998, six student protestors were shot and killed at Jakarta's Trisakti University, providing the spark for the capital's worst rioting in a generation. Foreigners
ed and Jakarta's commercial districts became ghost towns. As ames swept the capital and army troops took charge, Suharto scrambled to hold on. But one by one, his
most trusted lieutenants abandoned him. On the morning of 21 May, he resigned. Joyful students frolicked in the fountain at parliament as Suharto's vice-president and
close friend BJ Habibie was sworn in as his successor.
During Habibie's short rule, he freed the press, allowed a referendum on East Timor (now called Timor Leste) and steered Indonesia to a democratic election that ended

Covid-19 Pandemic 2020
In late 2019/early 2020, China experienced an outbreak of a new virus, Covid-19. The virus had a fatality rate of between 1-4% and spread with alarming speed. In
March 2020 Italy became the rst country in the western world to implement a lockdown to try and stop the rapid escalation of the virus. There soon followed
widespread global 'lockdowns' with people conned to their homes and business shut down.
Despite travel bans, the virus spread to all countries around the world. This lockdown had a profound adverse effect on the global economy with a sharp rise in
unemployment and a fall in output. It also challenged long-held view of invulnerability amongst western developed countries. The long-term impact of the pandemic is
uncertain, but it will lead to structural changes in the economy and the balance of the world. China is both seen as the source of the virus, but also – as the world's
dominant manufacturer – is a key player in the efforts to manufacture equipment to deal with the crisis.

Overthinking – To What Extent Can It Damage Your Life?
Are you still beating yourself up for the mistake you made last week? Are you constantly going over next week's presentation at work in your head? You are probably
overthinking. Your inability to get out of your head may leave you in a constant state of anguish. Of course, we all tend to overthink a situation occasionally. Overthinking
is more than just a nuisance – science reveals that thinking too much can damage you too.
It triggers mental illness. Are you always xated on your past mistakes? Dwelling on your mistakes, problems and shortcomings increases your chances of being affected
by mental health problems. Overthinking can set you up for a vicious cycle that is hard to break. It wreaks havoc on your mental peace – and as you lose your peace of
mind, you tend to overthink.
It disrupts your sleep. If you are an overthinker, you probably face sleep problems. This is because your body does not allow you to sleep when your mind is not at peace.
Ruminating on almost everything and worrying constantly about things over which you have little or no control often led to fewer hours of sleep. Thus, overthinking
impairs your quality of sleep and may make you cranky the next day as well.
The bottom-line is, overthinking can change the way you work with others and the way you do things. It can signicantly affect your personal life, social life and work-life
too. Most importantly, overthinking may also cause emotional distress. To overcome this, you will need to make some changes in your perspective and make a constant
effort to shrug away any thoughts that make you feel astray.

Angkor Wat Temple
In a unique jungle setting, not far from the city of Siem Reap, Angkor Wat is known for being the world's largest religious monument, but it is more than sheer size that
makes the Angkor complex so interesting. The site was built by the Khmers in the 12th century, and the architecture is nothing less than stunning.
The site has an intriguing mix of excavated and unexcavated temples in varying shapes, sizes, and states of decay, with some buildings taking on a mystical appearance
as they're swallowed up by trees and roots. Huge stone carved faces peer out in all directions. Extensive and intricate bas-reliefs line the walls and doorways. Crumbling
passageways and steep stone stairs call out for exploration.
Before its fall in the 15th century, Angkor Wat was the largest city in the world. The complex is huge, and you may want to spend a couple of days taking in the site.

An earthquake is a shock wave that radiates to the Earth's surface from underground. Causing a range of effects from unnoticeable, mild tremors to violent, prolonged
shaking. Earthquakes develop when tectonic plates, the massive "jigsaw pieces" that make up the crust of the earth, move suddenly, sending shockwaves through
neighbouring area. The movement comes from the Earth, tectonic, and fault lines.
Movement in the Earth's crust causes an earthquake. The Earth is made of an inner core, an outer core and a mantle, and the nal layer is a thin crust covering the
mantle, which is the surface of the Earth including all the oceans and continents. The crust is made of separate rocky portions called tectonic plates, which lie on the
mantle like pieces of a jigsaw puzzle. But the jigsaw puzzle is mobile, and the plates move around. Some slide past each other horizontally, some push together and
force the ground upward, some slide beneath another plate and some pull apart. Whenever a tectonic plate moves suddenly, this causes an earthquake.
The sudden release of friction and pressure between tectonic plates causes an earthquake. Tectonic plates are made of rough rock and cannot slide pass each other
smoothly. Friction prevents movement at the plate edges while the rest of the plates continue to move, causing a build-up in pressure. When the pressure overcomes the
friction, the plates move suddenly, and shock waves from this sudden movement radiate through rock, soil, buildings and water. Usually, small foreshocks occur at rst,
followed by one big mainshock. Aftershocks follow and can continue for weeks, months or even years.
Fault lines are the areas where two or more tectonic plates join, and it's in these areas most earthquakes occur. Well-studied fault lines include the San Andreas Fault
that runs down the West Coast of North America and lines between Australia and Papua New Guinea, as well as in New Zealand, Tonga, Japan and Taiwan.
Earthquakes can also rarely occur in the middle of tectonic plates. Scientists aren't yet able to predict earthquakes, but people living near fault lines can help protect
themselves by living in earthquake-protected housing and practicing earthquake drills.

Once upon a time, there was a peaceful kingdom in central java. The kind king had a beautiful daughter whom he loved so much. He also had great horses that he even
asked a servant, named Suta to take care of them intensively.
His duty was to look after the king's horses, gave them food, cleaned the horses and their mews. Suta liked to take a walk after doing his chores to relax for a while.
One day, when Suta was walking near a lake after doing his chores, he heard a woman screaming. So, Suta hurried to nd the source of the scream. Finally, he found the

"Would you be my friend, Suta. Because I don't have any friends." the princess asked.
Since that day, Suta and the princess became good friends. They even fell in love each other. So, the princess told Suta to go to her father and asked his permission to
marry her. But the king had already heard about their plan. The king was furious to hear about that so he asked the princess to meet him.
"No, you will not marry him. I will not allow that." The king said.
The princess was sad to hear her father's answer, especially after her father throwed Suta in jail for having the nerve to ask the princess to marry him. In jail, Suta was
not given anything to eat or drink.
Hearing about that, the princess made a plan to break Suta out of the jail. They succeeded and ran far away for the kingdom. They rested near the river. There, they got

How do you study when the test is coming? Do you start preparing for the test weeks or months before the test or leave things to the last hour? If you start studying
weeks or months before the test, it is great. However, if you study all the material in the last hour or minute, it is not good for you. This is called cramming.
Cramming is when students stay up all night until morning to study before a test or nish an assignment. This habit can lead to negative impacts, the rst being that
disruptions in the regular sleep cycle can cause temporary intellectual lapses. For most students, less sleep can make them could not focus on the class. Additionally,
cramming can leave us with memory lapses as well.
Each person has a different sleeping schedule, so some of them often use a stimulant for cramming. An example stimulant, and the most common, is coffee. While
delicious and benecial, it causes many problems in the long-term such as Caffeine Intoxication Syndrome, anxiety, panic, and headaches.
To sum up, cramming is not recommended because it disturbs a person's sleep cycle which causes temporary intellectual lapses, and using stimulants for cramming
gives them a bad effect on their health.

A ood is an overow of water that submerges land that is usually dry. In the sense of "owing water", the word may also be applied to the inow of the tide. Floods
are an area of study of the discipline hydrology and are of signicant concern in agriculture, civil engineering and public health. Human changes to the environment often
increase the intensity and frequency of ooding, for example land use changes such as deforestation and removal of wetlands, changes in waterway course such as with
levees, and larger environmental issues such as climate change and sea level rise. There are many different ways oods can occur, these can be put into 3 different
groups. They are ash oods, storm surges, and dam failures.
Flash oods happen very fast and with little or no warning. This type of ood is more dangerous and deadly due to the fact that the water rises very quickly and there's
usually a high ow pushing many things with it. Causes for this are heavy rainfall intensication and the vegetation and the physical features of the area. Urban areas
are most effected with ash oods due to the fact that they do not have as much natural drainage and because of the high amounts of impermeable surfaces. Flash
oods happens many times in a river because water can ow downhill onto the river and overll it, making it ood.
Storm surges is the rising of sea levels, this happens because of high winds and with pressure changes and sometimes high tides. They happen because the friction
between the air and the water creates a drag. Extreme low-pressure systems and also tropical cyclones can create storm surges.
Dams are made to stop water from overowing in an area. But sometimes the dam is built and unpredictably the water is surpassing the maximum the dam can hold,
this releases a sudden burst of water which can cause ash oods and destroy many things because of how powerful the water is after the sudden burst and that it may
ow downstream to a town.
Based on the text, what do you think about this statement?
"This categorization of ood: ash, storms, and dam are based on how the ood happens."

Indian Independence 1947
India had stood as the crowning jewel in the crown of the British Empire. It was the second-most populous nation in the world.
After many years denying Indian calls for independence, Britain nally agreed to full Indian independence in 1947. Indian independence was accompanied by a painful
separation and the birth of a new nation – Pakistan. The separation led to painful incidences of sectarian violence and killing; it led to the migration of many millions of
people who found themselves on the wrong side of the border. The independence of India also created a newly independent nation which claimed allegiance to neither
the US nor the Soviet Union – but a third way as Nehru called it. With economic development, India has the potential to become a new superpower in the coming

Oniomania (compulsive shopping, or what's more commonly referred to as shopping addiction) is perhaps the most socially acceptable addiction. Think about it. We are
surrounded by advertising that tells us that buying will make us happy. We are encouraged by politicians to spend as a way of boosting the economy. And, for some of
us, there is an allure of wanting what everyone else seems to have. Consumerism, by our own intentions or not (or some combination), has become a measure of social
Shopping addiction is a behavioral addiction that involves compulsive buying as a way to feel good and avoid negative feelings, such as anxiety and depression. Like
other behavioral addictions, shopping addiction can take over as a preoccupation that leads to problems in other areas of your life. Usually beginning in one's late teens
and early adulthood, shopping addiction often co-occurs with other disorders, including mood and anxiety disorders, substance use disorders, eating disorders, other
impulse control disorders, and personality disorders
So, what is the difference between normal shopping, occasional splurges, and shopping addiction? As with all addictions, what sets shopping addiction apart from other
types of shopping is that the behavior becomes the person's main way of coping with stress, to the point where they continue to shop excessively even when it is clearly
having a negative impact on other areas of their life.
As with other addictions, money problems can develop and relationships can become damaged, yet people with shopping addiction (sometimes called "shopaholics")
feel unable to stop or even control their spending. People with shopping addiction tend to be more materialistic than other shoppers and try to prop themselves up by
seeking status through material objects and seeking approval from others. They engage in fantasy more than other people, and—as with other people with addictions—
have a hard time resisting their impulses.
Why people become shopping addicts? Because … .
A. They are rich and can afford those things
B. They are surrounded by advertisements
C. They want to feel good and worthy socially
D. They want to boost country's economy
E. They feel lonely and sad

The Pyramid of Giza
One of the most iconic sites in the world, the Pyramids of Giza, just outside Cairo, are a surreal sight rising from the barren desert landscape. Standing guard nearby, and
almost as impressive, is the Sphinx, gazing blankly out over the land.
The pyramids were built as tombs for the Pharaohs, the largest of which was constructed between 2560 and 2540 BC. To put their age in perspective, they were already
more than 2,600 years old when the Colosseum in Rome was being built. Today, these giant monuments are the sole surviving member of the Seven Wonders of the
Ancient World.
