Iguana

Iguanas are large lizards found in several southern states, Central and South America, the Caribbean Islands and Africa. Some types of iguanas live in tropical rain forests, others live in deserts, and there are some that live on rocks along the ocean. One special adaptation they have is that they can be different colors from bright green, to dark brown to help them hide in grass, trees, in water, and along rocks. Iguanas lay up to fifty eggs at a time, and baby iguanas are usually bright green. Iguanas can grow to be up to seven feet long if you measure them from their nose all the way to the end of their long tail. They can live for up to twenty years. They are cold-blooded reptiles, so they have to soak up the suns rays during the day to stay warm when the sun sets. Iguanas are omnivores. They like to eat leaves and fruits best, but they also eat insects and sometimes they even eat small animals. Iguanas can run very fast, climb trees easily with their long claws and theyre great swimmers. If a big animal catches an iguana, its tail can break off and it will grow back. (Smaller lizards, like anoles and salamanders, can do this too.) There are forty different types of iguanas and twelve of them are endangered. Some reasons why theyre endangered are because their eggs are eaten by animals, their habitats are becoming smaller because people moving into their territories, and in some countries, iguanas are hunted for food. Some people even keep iguanas for pets. Pet iguanas need large cages, because they can grow very long. Many people feed their iguanas dark green leafy vegetables, and fruit salad, a favorite treat. Because theyre reptiles, they need special lights to keep their body temperature warm and to make sure they stay healthy. If you ever visit places with tropical climates, be on the lookout for iguanas. Theyre one of the largest and most interesting lizards youll ever see.

What is a heart?
The heart is a huge organ of muscle. The function of the heart is to pump the blood through the body. The heart is made up of four chambers, but has two hard working pumps; one is to force blood to the lungs and the other to force blood to the rest of the body. Each persons body contains about 4.7 liters of blood. The function of blood is to help carry food and oxygen and the other is to protect us from germs. The tubes that receive blood from the body are called veins. The blood in the veins is dark read because it is full of oxygen. The white cells act to protect the body from invading germs. The blood receives oxygen from the lungs.

Electronic Media
At the end of the nineteenth century, newspapers were the main pubic sources of information. At the end of the twentieth century, we still have newspapers, but they are no longer the main sources of information. Nowadays, we have the electronic media: the internet, radio, and television. The electronic media link Indonesia to the rest of the world. The electronic media makes us part of the global village. If we want to find out what is happening in Europe or the United States, we can listen to satellite TV stations, such as, the BBC or CNN. We can find out what normal people in many countries think by going on the internet. There we can talk in English to people from all over the world. In the twenty-first century, the internet will be the most important source of information. Even now there is so much information on the internet. Soon people will not buy newspapers from kiosk anymore. They will read electronic newspapers on the internet. All television channels will be on the internet. If you get tired of watching TVRI, you will be able to switch to a New York channel or a channel from South Africa or Egypt. (Taken from English for Communication SMP 3)

Athletics
The word Field refers to athletic sports actually done on the field.Field events include pole vault,high jump,and long jump. The first one is called the pole vault because the athlete uses a pole (galah) for jumping ( vaulting ). Other sports which are usually found in a field events are the Javelin,discus and short-put. They are what we call lempar lembing, lempar cakram and tolak peluru respectively. Originally the word track refered to the path (Jalur in Indonesian ) for running. Now it refers to sport held on the track itself.In U.S.A.,a track meet is what we call pertandingan olahraga lari here. Running events include the 100 metre dash (sprint), 1500 metres and the much longer event,the Marathon. There is another term which is often used when we talk about athletics. That term is decathlon. The word is derived from the word deca and athlon. The former means ten like the word dasa in dasawarsa . The latter means contest. The modern decathlon consists of : (1) 100 m sprint,(2) long jump ,(3) short-put (4) high junp,(5) 400 metres sprint,(6) 110 metres hurdles,(7) discus,(8) pole vault,(9) javelin,(10) 1,500 metres. In the broad sense,athletic sport include cycling,team sports,and "Track and Field" events. Cycling is one event in the Olympic games, so, for example, are sports such as football(soccer), basketball, volley ball and hockey, track events and field events are those which involve the natural athletic motion of running, jumping, and throwing. These sports are what we call athletics in the narrow sense. ( taken from Bahasa Inggris 3A,senior High Scool-Depdikbud )
