Question 1-10

A solar eclipse occurs when the Moon moves in front of the sun and hides at least
some part of the Sun from the Earth. In a partial eclipse, the Moon covers part of the Sun; in
an annual eclipse, the Moon covers the center of the Sun, leaving a bright ring of light
around the Moon; in a total eclipse, the Sun is completely covered by the Moon.

It seems rather improbable that a celestial body the size of the Moon could
completely block out the tremendously immense Sun, as happens during a total eclipse, but
this is exactly what happens. Although the Moon is considerably smaller in size than the Sun,
the Moon is able to cover the Sun because of their relative distances from the Earth. A total
eclipse can last up to 7 minutes, during which time the Moon’s shadow moves across the
Earth at a rate of about 6 kilometers per second.

 6. According to the passage, how can the Moon hide the Sun during a total eclipse?

Moon’s smaller size
b. The Moon can only obscure the Sun because of the Moon’s great distance from
the Earth.

Question 11-13

One of the drugs that is dangerous is called “Marijuana (ganja)”. The drug is
often called “pot”, and the habit of smoking pot may send people to their graves
before their time. Pot smoking may damage the brain and other organs in the body,
especially, the reproductive organs. In July 1978 at an international meet held on the
dangers, of smoking marijuana, researchers, from 14 countries presented proof about the
dangerous effect of marijuana, on the lungs, the brain and the other organs of the
body. They discovered other effects too; sleeplessness, heavy sweating, lack appetite (nafsu
makan berkurang) and nausea (mual).

Marijuana is extract from the cannabis plant. The cannabinoids are soluble in fat so
they remain the body’s fatty organs after the smoking party is over. One organ that contains
a large amount of fat is the human brain. The female reproductive organs also have high fat
content.
