All birds have feathers, although in some types, particularly those that cannot fly, the normal structure of the feathers may be much modified and be downy, woolly, or straw like. The forelimbs of birds are modified into wings. The bony part of the tail, except in the very earliest fossil birds is very short, and the visible tail is composed of feathers only. The teeth are absent except in some fossil forms. As in mammals the only other group of warm-blooded animal , the  circulation is highly perfected so that there is no mixing of arterial and venous blood, but the arrangement of veins and arteries by which this is accomplished different in the two groups.

           “Bisa Saja” is choosen as the first single of the album and theme song of BROWNIES, since the lyric reflects the story in the movie. Budjana of GIGI demonstrates his skills in playing acoustic guitar in “ Cinta Terakhir “. Three other brand new song “Dilema”, “Jangan Bilang Pacarku” and “ Semua Orang Berhak Mendapat Rasa Bahagia”, gives supporting nuances to the movie flow as GIGI composed them by imagining how the scenes would like look based on the screenplay.
             When Hanung Bramantyo, the director, and Dewa Budjana of GIGI chated, Budjana expressed his interest in making soundtrack album. Then, he recommended a few of GIGI songs, which the producer accepted because of the chemistry they created with the movie. Since GIGI can provide a variety of colors to add all kinds of musical nuances to enrich the movie, the producer deemed it unnecessary to find other musicians to complete OST of BROWNIES. Armand Maulana (vocalist), I Gede Dewa Budjana (guitarist), Thomas Ramdhan (Bass player) , and Gusti Erhandy (Drum-stand-in player for Budhi haryono) put a lot of effort to this album. As a result, they’ve created perfect blend of movie and songs that makes BROWNIES tastier.
            It’s always fun to have a piece of Brownies in your mouth. But having it in your stereo set is more entertaining. No movie is perfect without musical score and OST of Brownies proved it excellent.
27.     The passage is mainly about …
         a.      the description how the album  is accomplished through a series of steps
         b.      an account of  unusual or  amusing incident retold by the album
         c.      a  review an of an original soundtrack of movie

                  During the twentieth century the world has witnessed the inventions of many amazing things. Television is a great invention, but there are arguments for and against whether it is the best invention of the twentieth century
                  Television was invented in the1920s and first came to Australia in 1956. It has played an important role in communicating news.

                  On the other hand, there are other inventions that could be considered better than television. Some might argue that computer should be awarded the distinction of being the best invention because computer has made life easier. Others might argue that medical inventions such as heart pacemakers are best inventions because they help to save live.

          Facsimile, often called fax, is a way of transmitting texts and pictures over telephone lines. News services often use facsimile to send news, stories and photographs to newspaper and television stations. Banks, law firms and other businesses use facsimile to send copies of documents to clients and other organizations.
         A device called a facsimile machine is used for transmitting and receiving images. Facsimile machines resemble small photocopiers. However, they are equipped with a telephone or are connected to one. To send a document, the user inserts it into the machine and dials the telephone number of the receiving fax machine. After the connection is made, an electronic scanner on the transmitting machine moves across the page and converts the image into a set of electric signals. These signals travel over the telephone line to the receiving fax machine. Then machine converts the electric signals back into an image of the original document and then prints a copy.
Some business people use small desktop fax machines or portable models at home or when they travel. A personal computer can also be used to send and receive documents if it is equipped with a special electronic circuit board called a fax board
38.     What is the main information in paragraph 2?
         a.      a facsimile machine is a small photocopier
         b.      a facsimile machine is equipped with a telephone to transmit images

The Good Stepmother
The old witch locked Hansel in a cage and set Gretel to clean the house. She planned to eat them both. Each night the children cried and begged the witch to let them go.

               “our team was ambushed on their way to the community to be demolished,” said Gonzales. He added that the security only defended themselves after the residents dug foxholes and opened fire with automatic rifles.
