Although
gorillas look ferocious, they are really rather quiet apes. They live in family
groups in the thickest parts of the jungles.
A
gorilla’s feet, hands, and wrinkled face are bare and black. His fur may be
short and long, depending on where he lives.
The
short- haired gorilla lives in the hot, damp, tropical forests of western
Africa, and the long-haired gorilla lives in the cooler air in the high
mountains of central Africa.
A
gorilla’s arms are so long; they almost touch the ground, even when he is
standing up!
Some
wild mountain gorillas weigh as much as you, your father, your mother all weigh
together.
At
night the father gorilla sleeps on the ground. But the mother gorillas sleep in
the big nest of stick and leaves on the ground, or in the lower branches of
trees, where they are safer from prowling animals.

Do you know how paper is made? Well, people make
paper from trees. First, they cut down
trees that make good paper, and then they transport the logs to factory. at the
factory, they wash the logs to rinse away dirt and other impurities. After
that, the logs are put into machines to make small wood chips and then process
this chip into pulp.
This pulping process is to separate
wood fibers. This important, because different kinds of paper need different
kind of fibers. So that is why they have different techniques of pulping too.
The pulp look likes a mushy and watery solution, but if you look at it with a
microscope you can see the individual fibers. All have been separated.
When you get this, you are ready to
get paper. You do it by removing the water because 99 % of the solution is
water. To remove the water, they spray the soup on a long wide screen. They
call this wire. And then the water runs to the bottom of wire, and fibers are
caught on the top of side of the wire. Here, the fibers bonds together and make
a thin mat, the fibers mat. Then people squeeze this mat with rollers to remove
more water. After this pressing, the mat still contains water. It about 60% of
it.
Now the mat is ready to go to the drying
process. This mat, then, has to go through some rollers, sometimes a dozen of
them. These hot rollers seal the fibers closer and eventually turn the mat into
paper.
To make paper from the thickness,
people use paper machine. It called the calendar. This machine has big iron rollers
that press and dry paper smooth with the same thickness. From here, you can do
everything else. You can coat it with fine clay to make it glossier or easier
to print on, and so on. That is why paper comes in different sizes, thickness,
and appearance.

Solar energy is one great alternative
for future energy source. It environmentally friendly, thus making it an
excellent energy source.
According to the United State
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the sunlight which reaches the earth
surface every year produce approximately 1,000 times the amount of energy produced by burning all fossil fuels mined
and extracted during the same time period.
As with most renewable energy system,
the initial cost setting up these solar energy projects is quite expensive.
However, the savings on electricity bills in the long term should make up for
this and t year after year, the cost of this solar energy are falling which
will make it affordable and widespread.
Solar energy will also be powering some
7.000 homes and several hundred businesses in Britain soon after the government
announced a £ 10 million investment into photovoltaic (PV) technologies over
the next three years.
Photovoltaic cells provide an unlimited
supply of free power by converting the sunlight into electricity using
semiconductors. Vast array of these cells will be placed on roof and wall
around a country to provide the building with a renewable source of energy for
lighting, heating and storage.
Street lighting and traffic signals can
also benefit from this power supply. Further, it reduces
our dependence on fossil fuels and nuclear energy.
29.
The first paragraph discusses….
a. solar energy for future source of
energy
b. how to convert sunlight into

Nuclear power is generated by using
uranium, which is metal mined in various parts of the world. The first large-
scale nuclear power station was opened at Calder Hall in Cumbria, England, in
1956.
Some
military ships and submarines have nuclear power plant for engines. Nuclear
power produces around 11% of the world’s energy needed, produces huge amounts
of energy. It causes no pollution as you’d get when burning fossil fuels.
The advantages of nuclear are as follow:
1.
It cost about the same as coal, so it’s
not expensive to make.
2.
It doesn’t produce smoke or carbon
dioxide, so it doesn’t contribute to greenhouse effect.
3.
It produces huge amount of energy from
small amount of uranium.
4.
It produces small amount of waste.
5.
It is reliable.
On
the other hand, nuclear power is very, very dangerous. It is must be sealed up
and buried for many years to allow the radioactivity to die away. Furthermore,
although it is reliable, a lot of money has to spend on safety because if it
does go wrong, a nuclear accident can be a major disaster.
People are increasingly concerned about this. In
1999’s nuclear power was the fastest growing source of power in many parts of
the world. In 2005, it was the 2nd slowest growing.

BANDUNG: Thousands of people who had
fled from their houses located on the slopes of smoldering Mount Gamkonora on
Halmahera Island, North Maluku province, could returned to their homes after
the authorities downgraded the top-
alert status Monday.
The head of the Volcanology Center
and Geology Disaster Mitigation Agency, Sarono, said that the returning residents
still could not get within three kilometers area of the volcano in Ibu
District, West Halmahera regency.
The alert status for volcano was
downgraded because the volcano has shown less volcanic activity. Since July 10
to July 15, only two small tectonic quakes measuring below 2 of Richter scale w
ere recorded in the mountain and the volcano did not burst out hoot lava or
other volcanic materials from its craters.
“Compared to the last Monday explosion,
wherein the ash spewed was 4,000above the crater, it is now only about 10 métiers
high”, Sorono told the journalist in Bandung on Monday.
Following the volcano’s increased
activity last week, which led authorities to put it in the top alert status,
around 10,000 residents in Ibu district fled to safety. Most of the residents
were taking shelter in Shout and Ibu Districts.
Surono warned the people not to get
close to the volcano because small emission of smoke could throw materials from
the volcano’s carters.
The 1,635-
meters volcano has erupted 12 times since records have been kept.
The
last time ash smoke streamed out of the volcano was in 1987. No casualties were
reported.
