The Necessity of Salt

 Once upon a time there was a king who had three daughters. Because they were good and
beautiful he loved them all sincerely. He did not know which one he should appoint as queen.
As his birthday approached he summoned his daughters and said to them, "My dear children, I
love all three of you sincerely, and for a long time have not known which one of you I should name to
be the heir to my throne. But I have now decided that the one of you shall become queen who brings to
me a birthday present that is most necessary in human life. Go and make your plans accordingly and
with utmost diligence."
The old king's birthday arrived, and the two oldest daughters brought him presents that were
very necessary, but at the same time extremely expensive. However, the youngest daughter brought
him nothing more than a little pile of salt in a decorated container. When the king saw her present, he
became very angry, and he drove his daughter out of the castle, forbidding her ever again to let herself
be seen by him.
With deep sorrow the rejected daughter went out into the unknown world, comforted only by
her faith in her own good sense. After walking a good while she came to an inn. There she found a
female innkeeper who thoroughly understood cooking. She entered an apprenticeship with her and soon
exceeded even the innkeeper in the art of cooking.
News spread far and wide of the excellent cook in this inn, and everyone who came this way
and who still had a few kreuzers left in his pocket stopped to be served a roast or something even more
elegant.
The king heard of the cook's reputation, and he hired her as court cook. Now it came to pass that
the oldest princess was getting married, and the famous cook was assigned the preparation of the
wedding feast, with no expenses to be spared.
 Thus on the wedding day one elegant dish after the other was served until the table almost
cracked. Everything was excellently prepared, and everyone praised the cook. Finally the king's
favorite dish arrived. Quickly taking a spoon he tasted it. "This has not been salted!" he cried out
angrily. "Have the cook brought before me!"
They quickly ran for the cook, who entered the hall undaunted.
"Why did you forget to salt my favorite dish, you careless girl?" snapped the king at her.
The cook answered, "You drove away your youngest daughter because she thought that salt was
so necessary. Perhaps you can now see that your child was not so wrong."
When the king heard these words he recognized his daughter, begged her for forgiveness, asked
her to be seated at his side, and accepted her once again as his dear child. Then the wedding became
doubly joyful.
The king lived happily with his children for many years thereafter.

people wanted to go from one village to another, they often had to pass through wild and unsafe forest.
One day, a farmers young wife went to the next village to visit her own mother and brother. She
brought along her baby son. When it was time for her to leave, her brother said it is getting dark. Let

So Ah Tim led the way and the young woman followed behind, carrying her baby. When they were in
the forest, suddenly they saw a group of wolves. They began to run to avoid the danger, but Ah Tim
kicked against a stone and fell down. At once the wolves caught him. The young woman cried to the
wolves, please eat my own son instead. Then, she put her baby son on the ground in front of the
wolves and took her nephew away.
Everyone understood that this was because the woman was very good and kind. She had offered her
own sons life to save her nephew.

Use of Formalin and Other Additives in Foods

The use of formalin and other dangerous preservatives in food has been serious problem
for three reasons. Firstly, formalin is not for human beings, but it is for biological specimens
and experiments. Formalin in Biology is a 10% solution of formaldehyde in water which is
usually used as a disinfectant or to preserve biological specimens. Thus, it is not for food
preservatives. Of course when it is used for food preservative, it will be very dangerous to
humans body.
The second reason is that there is no tight control from the government. This condition
makes the peoples health is really in a threat. When the control is weak and the use formalin
was spread wide all over the Indonesian regions, and these days it has really happened, the
citizen's bodies will be badly contaminated with the poisons. Fish or food traders still sell their
products which contain formalin and dangerous preservatives. Can you imagine that our
digestive system absorbs the substance that should be for the human and animal corpses?
Considering the reasons, we can make a conclusion that the use of formalin and other
preservatives is really a serious problem if it is not resolved immediately.

Integrated Pest Management

There is no best way to deal with pests in agriculture. Pesticides which are commonly
used may cause many problems. I think combining different management operations is the most
effective way to control pests.
Firstly, the chemicals in the pesticides may build up as residues in the environment and
in the soil which absorbs the chemicals. This reduces the quality of farm product.
Secondly, pests can gradually become resistant to pesticides. This means that newer and
stronger ones have to be developed.
Lastly, some pesticides affect non target plants and animals such as fish and bees. This
affects the ecology and environment as well.
So, understanding of ecology of an area helps a lot in pest control. Pesticides should be
chosen and applied carefully so that they don't affect the ecological balance and environment.
Therefore, integrated pest management is a safe and more effective option to fight pest
in agriculture and livestock.
20. Which of the following is not directly affected by pesticides used?
A. Plants
B. Ecology
C. Animals.
D. Environment.
E. Human Beings
21. What can you say about paragraph two and four?
A. The fourth paragraph supports the idea stated in paragraph two.
B. Both paragraphs tell about the disadvantages of using pesticides.
C. Both paragraphs tell about how pesticides affect the quality of farm products.
D. The statement in paragraph is contrary to the statement in paragraph four.
E. The second paragraph tells about the effects of using pesticides on animals
22. One of the disadvantages of using chemical pesticides is
A. Killing fish and bees.
B. Increasing crops productivity.
C. Creating balanced ecosystem.
D. causing the pests to become inactive
E. helping reduce pollutants in the environment.

23. Secondly, pests can gradually become resistant to pesticides. (paragraph 3) . The word
resistant in the sentence above means
A. Weak

Keeping dogs
There are many reasons for keeping dogs as pets in the city area, but many people feel that
keeping pet dogs should not be allowed in the city. Dogs are often not taken care properly. They are
kept in small backyards and rarely taken for walks. They are left in the yard all day by themselves
while the family is at work. Very little attention is given to the dog and it is not a very good life for it. It
is no wonder why these dogs bark and disturb the neighbours and become a nuisance to the community.
On the other hand, not all people treat their dogs this way and why should the people receive a
lot of pleasure and enjoyment from dog's suffer? Dogs can make a lonely person's life happy or make
wonderful playmate. It can also teach a child responsibility as they not only get to lay with the dog, but
also need to exercise, feed, and care for the dog.
I feel that we should be allowed to keep dogs in the city, because if it is taken care of properly,
dogs can be a great source of pleasure. As a child I used to enjoy playing and taking care of my pet.

Anybody who is over the age of six knows that there is nowhere safe for skateboarders to
skate. This prevents young people from enjoying an active, energetic and adventurous pastime.
Just watch a local street for a short while and note the steady stream of skaters speeding
up and down the footpaths. Toddlers can be trampled on and old ladies can be knocked down as
they struggle home carrying their cat food from supermarkets.
 Skateboarding is a serious sport that improves young peoples health. It increases fitness,
improves balance and strengthens the joints in knees and ankles. Although it appears to be a
solo sport, when groups practice together and compete to perform stunts or runs they form firm
friendships.
Young people should be prevented from becoming overweight couch potatoes. If they are
actively involved in skating, they do not smoke, take drugs or break laws for fun.
Kids will always seek thrills and excitement. They need to practice their 180s, 360s and
Ollies free from restrictions. We must build skate parks in the suburbs so that streets are safe
for small children and senior citizens and skaters have spaces where they can race, chase, speed,
and soar towards the sun.
