A mouse that cured
A new ally against cancer
Dr. Megan Sykes, a medical researcher, has a mouse with a human immune system – her own. She calls it “Mini- Me.”
There are also mice containing a part of 9 year old Michael Feeney- a cancerous tumor extracted from his lungs. Researches have tasted various drugs on the mice, hoping to find the treatment that would work best for Michael.
In what could be the ultimate in personalized medicine, animals bearing your disease, or part of your anatomy, can serve as your personal guinea pig, so to speak. Some researches call them avatars, like the virtual characters in movies and online games.
“The mice allow you the opportunity to test drugs to find out which ones will be efficacious without exposing the patient to toxity.” said Colin Collins, a professor at the University of British Columbia.
Experiments on mice have been done for decades, including implanting people’s tumors into the animals. But the techniques have improved in the past few years and interest is growing. The National Institutes of Health in Bethesda, Maryland, held a workshop on personalized animal models which are mainly being used for research. Companies are beginning to commercialize them for use in drug development and medical treatment as well.
Experts caution that it has not been proved that the use of avatars will prolong the lives of cancer patients. And it costs tens of thousands of dollars, which insurer will not cover, to create and test a colony of the animals.
‘It’s an act of faith to say this is a superior way of proceeding,” said Dr. Edward Sausville, a professor of medicine at the University of Maryland.
23. What is the text about?
A. The commercialization of the mice for drugs development.
B. The use of mice in medical research against cancer.
C. The implanting pepole’s disease into animal.

24. Why did the research use mice? Because ....
A. it will not do any harm to the patient
B. the mice can serve as your personal guinea pig
C. the result will help prolong the lives of cancer patients
D. the mice contain a cancerous tumor

Geyser
A geyser is the result of underground water under the combined conditions of high temperatures and increased pressure beneath the surface of the earth. Since temperature rises approximately 1° F for every sixty feet under the earth’s surface, and pressure increases with depth, the water that seeps down in crack and fissures until it reaches very hot rock in the earth interior becomes heated to temperature in excess of 290°F. Because of the greater pressure, the water shoots out of the surface in the form of steam and hot water. The result is a geyser. In order to function, then a geyser must have a source of heat, reservoir where water can be stored until the temperature rises to an unstable point, an opening through which the hot water and steam can escape, and underground channels for resupplying water after an eruption.
Favorable conditions for geyser exist in some regions of the world including New Zealand, Iceland, and the Yellowstone National Park area of the United States. The most famous geyser in the world is Old Faithfull in Yellow Park. Old Faithfull erupts almost every hour, rising to a height of 125 to 170 feet and expelling more than ten thousand gallons during each eruption.
29. How geyser is produced?
A. By the rise of temperature pressure functioning hot steam.
B. From a huge tension of heated water that coming out from the earth crack.
C. From the heated temperature in earth crack that absorbsing water.
D. From the temperature and absorbed water that occurs on earth surface.
E. By the hot water and temperature of hot rock that occurs on the earth surface.

The following text is for questions 33 to 35
Faster planes and cheaper flights are making it easier than ever before for people to travel. In the most ‘developed’ societies, visiting exotic places is a sought-after status symbol. The tourism industries of both developed and developing countries have recognised this fact and are learning to take advantage of it.
There are, however, some preblems associated with this new industry. Firstly, there is the increasing crime rate. Some locals see tourist as an easy prey because, not only are they in unfamiliar territory and therefore less able to take care of themselves, but also they carry visible items of wealth, such as cameras and jewelery which can be disposed of quickly for profit.
Another major problem is health. With greater mobility comes greater danger of spreading contagious diseases around the world. One carrier returning home could easily start an epidemic before their illness was diagnosed. Moreover, the emergence of many diseases which resist antibiotics is causing scientists to be increasingly concerned about this issue.
Also to be considered is the natural environment, which can be seriously threatened by too many visitors. Australia’s Great Barrier Reef, for example, is in danger of being destroyed by tourists and there are plans to restrict visitors to some of the more delicate coral cays.
These are just three of the reasons why any country should be wary of committing itself to an extensive tourism development program.
33. Why does the natural environment become one of the serious problem associated with the faster planes and cheaper flight? Because ....
A. it easily started an epidemic before their illness was diagnosed
B. it can be destroyed by too many visitors
C. the health problem will increase
D. they carry visible items of wealth
E. it can increase crime rate
34. Why is the crime rate increasing due to the new industry?
A. Some tourists carry visible items of wealth.
B. The tourists are spreading contagious diseases.
C. The government is planning to restict visitors to some coral cays.
D. The new industry makes the number of unemployment increase.
E. The tourists come by plane.
35. “One carrier returning home could easily start an epidemic before their illness wasdiagnosed.” (Paragraph 3)
The underlined word means ....
A. found
B. observed
C. identified
D. examined
E. healed

Harry Potter and Philosopher’s Stones
Judged by this first volume, the Harry Potter books are a fine addition to English children’s fantasy literature. Harry Potter, orphaned when his parents are killed by the evil wizard Voldemort, is taken in by his aunt and uncle, who are Muggles – ordinary, non-magical people. Harry is rather out of place there, but things improve greatly for him when goes to the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry – except that one of the staff is in league with Voldemort.
Part of the attention of Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone comes from the familiar but at the same time exotic setting of an English public school, complete with houses and schoolboy adventures, in which Harry and his friends Ron and Hermione struggle to save the world and win the house cup.
So Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone will be a great Christmas present for kids who haven’t read it yet – and it is a book that adults (at least those without stunted imaginations) can read as well.

The following text is for questions 42 to 44
The respiratory system, in anatomy and physiology, are organs that deliver oxygen to the circulatory system to be transpoted to all body cells. The respiratory and circulatory system work together to deliver oxygen to cells and remove carbon dioxide in a two-phase process called respiration.
The first phase of respiration begins with breathing in, or inhalation. Inhalation brings air from outside the body into the lungs. Oxygen in the air moves from the lungs through blood vessels to the heart, which pumps the oxygen-rich blood to all the body. Oxygen then moves from the bloodstream into cells, which completes the first phase of respiration. In the cells, oxygen is used in a separate energy-producing process called cellular respiration, which produces carbon dioxide as a by product.
The second phase of respiration begins with the movement of carbon dioxide from the cells to the bloodstream. The bloodstream carries carbon dioxide to the heart, which pumps the carbon dioxide-laden blood to the lungs. In the lungs, breathing out, or exhalation, removes carbon dioxide from the body, thus completing the respiration cycle.
42. How does a complete respiration cycle work?
A. It delivers oxygen to the cells and removes carbon dioxide from the cells.
B. It works apart from respiratory and circulatory system.
C. It removes carbon dioxide from the human body.
D. It delivers oxygen to the circulatory system.
E. It inhales air from outside the human body.
43. The first phase of respiration completes when ....
A. oxygen changes to carbon dioxide
B. the air goes from the lungs to the heart
C. carbon dioxide moves to the bloostream

Air Mancur Panas
Geyser adalah hasil dari air bawah tanah di bawah kondisi gabungan suhu tinggi dan tekanan meningkat di bawah permukaan bumi . Karena suhu naik sekitar 1 ° F untuk setiap enam puluh kaki di bawah permukaan bumi , dan meningkatkan tekanan dengan kedalaman , air yang merembes ke dalam celah dan celah sampai mencapai batu yang sangat panas di pedalaman bumi menjadi dipanaskan sampai suhu lebih dari 290 ° F. Karena tekanan yang lebih besar , air tunas dari permukaan dalam bentuk uap dan air panas . Hasilnya adalah geyser . Dalam rangka fungsi , maka geyser harus memiliki sumber panas , waduk di mana air dapat disimpan sampai suhu naik sampai titik stabil , pembukaan melalui mana air panas dan uap dapat melarikan diri , dan saluran bawah tanah untuk resupplying air setelah letusan .
Kondisi yang menguntungkan untuk geyser ada di beberapa wilayah di dunia termasuk Selandia Baru , Islandia , dan daerah Taman Nasional Yellowstone di Amerika Serikat . Geyser paling terkenal di dunia adalah Old Faithfull di Yellow Park. Old Faithfull meletus hampir setiap jam , naik ke ketinggian 125-170 meter dan mengusir lebih dari sepuluh ribu galon selama setiap letusan .

Industri pariwisata kedua negara maju dan berkembang telah mengakui fakta ini dan belajar untuk mengambil keuntungan dari itu .
Namun demikian , beberapa preblems terkait dengan industri baru . Pertama, ada tingkat kejahatan meningkat. Beberapa warga melihat turis sebagai mangsa mudah karena , tidak hanya mereka di wilayah asing dan karena itu kurang mampu mengurus diri sendiri , tetapi juga mereka membawa barang-barang yang terlihat kekayaan , seperti kamera dan perhiasan yang dapat dibuang dengan cepat untuk keuntungan .
Masalah besar lain adalah kesehatan. Dengan mobilitas yang lebih besar datang bahaya yang lebih besar penyebaran penyakit menular di seluruh dunia . Satu kapal pulang dengan mudah bisa memulai epidemi sebelum penyakit mereka didiagnosis . Selain itu , munculnya banyak penyakit yang menolak antibiotik yang menyebabkan para ilmuwan menjadi semakin khawatir tentang masalah ini .
Juga harus dipertimbangkan adalah lingkungan alam , yang dapat secara serius terancam oleh terlalu banyak pengunjung . Australia Great Barrier Reef , misalnya, adalah dalam bahaya yang hancur oleh wisatawan dan ada rencana untuk membatasi pengunjung ke beberapa gundukan karang lebih halus .
Ini hanya tiga dari alasan mengapa negara manapun harus waspada melakukan sendiri untuk program pengembangan pariwisata yang luas .

Harry Potter dan Batu Bertuah
Dinilai oleh volume pertama ini , buku-buku Harry Potter adalah tambahan yang baik untuk sastra fantasi anak Inggris . Harry Potter, yatim piatu saat orang tuanya dibunuh oleh penyihir jahat Voldemort , yang diambil oleh bibi dan pamannya , yang Muggle - biasa, orang-orang non - magis . Harry agak keluar dari tempat di sana, tetapi hal-hal meningkatkan sangat untuk dia ketika pergi ke Sekolah Sihir Hogwarts dan Sihir - kecuali bahwa salah satu staf di liga dengan Voldemort .
Bagian dari perhatian Harry Potter dan Batu Bertuah berasal dari akrab tapi pada saat yang sama pengaturan eksotis dari sekolah umum Inggris , lengkap dengan rumah dan petualangan sekolah , di mana Harry dan teman-temannya Ron dan perjuangan Hermione untuk menyelamatkan dunia dan memenangkan Piala Asrama .
Jadi Harry Potter dan Batu Bertuah akan menjadi hadiah Natal untuk anak-anak yang belum membacanya belum - dan itu adalah sebuah buku yang dewasa (setidaknya mereka tanpa imajinasi terhambat ) bisa membaca juga.

Internet telah menjadi inovasi yang paling luar biasa dalam sejarah umat manusia . Seperti halnya dengan setiap inovasi tunggal, internet memiliki keunggulan tersendiri .
Target internet selalu komunikasi . Pada awal internet komputer , bumi kita telah berkurang dan telah mencapai bentuk desa global . Sekarang kita bisa berkomunikasi dalam sepersekian detik dengan orang yang duduk di bagian lain dunia . Hari ini , untuk komunikasi yang lebih baik , kita dapat memanfaatkan fasilitas e - mail dan kita dapat chatting selama berjam-jam dengan orang yang kita cintai . Ada banyak layanan messenger penawaran . Dengan bantuan layanan seperti itu, menjadi sangat mudah untuk mendirikan semacam persahabatan global.

Padahal, internet juga dapat membuat kekacauan , perusakan dan penyalahgunaan yang bisa sangat fatal, keuntungan itu keluar - timbang kelemahan.

Sistem pernapasan , dalam anatomi dan fisiologi , adalah organ yang memberikan oksigen ke sistem peredaran darah yang akan transpoted ke seluruh sel tubuh . Pernapasan dan sistem peredaran darah bekerja sama untuk memberikan oksigen ke sel dan mengeluarkan karbondioksida dalam proses dua - fase yang disebut respirasi .
Tahap pertama dari respirasi dimulai dengan bernapas dalam , atau inhalasi . Inhalasi membawa udara dari luar tubuh ke paru-paru . Oksigen di udara bergerak dari paru-paru melalui pembuluh darah ke jantung , yang memompa darah kaya oksigen ke seluruh tubuh . Oksigen kemudian bergerak dari aliran darah ke dalam sel , yang melengkapi tahap pertama respirasi . Dalam sel , oksigen digunakan dalam proses penghasil energi terpisah yang disebut respirasi seluler , yang menghasilkan karbon dioksida sebagai produk .
Tahap kedua respirasi dimulai dengan gerakan karbon dioksida dari sel ke aliran darah . Aliran darah membawa karbondioksida ke jantung , yang memompa karbon dioksida darah -sarat ke paru-paru . Di paru-paru , napas keluar , atau pernafasan , menghilangkan karbon dioksida dari tubuh , sehingga menyelesaikan siklus respirasi .
