The shooting star that streak across the sky is a tiny
particle enters the earth’s atmosphere, friction the air causes it glow white
hot and then turn to gas. Most of this particles or meteors are smaller than a
grain of rice. Mengamati bintang yg
melesat dilangit adalah suatu partikel kecil memasuki atmosfir bumi, pergeseran
udara menyebabkan ia memancarkan cahaya putih yg panas dan kemudian berubah
menjadi gas. Sbg besar partikel ini atau meteor/cirit bintang lebih kecil
daripada biji padi.
Comets
move around the sun have a very bright head and a long tail. Many meteors seem
to be fragments of comets that crashed into one another. Other meteors are tiny
particles from tails of comets. Some meteors are iron and some are stone. Komet/bintang berekor bergerak mengelilingi
matahari memiliki kepala yg sangat terang dan ekor yg panjang. Banyak meteor
kelihatannya menjadi pecahan komet yg bertubrukan satu dengan yg lain. Meteor
yg lain adalah partikel kecil dari ekor komet. Sebagian komet adalah besi dan
sebagian lain adalah batu.
Once
in a while, an extra bright meteor, or fireball appears. Fireballs can
sometimes be seen during the day and may even as bright as the full moon. Some meteors
survive their fall through the earth’s atmosphere and land on the ground. There
are called meteorites, and are usually cool enough to touch when they land. Pada suatu ketika, suatu meteor yg lebih
terang, atau bola api muncul, bola api kadang kadang bisa dilihat selama siang hari dan mungkin bahkan seterang
seperti bulan purnama. Banyak meteor hidup lebih lama atas kejatuhannya melalui
atmosfir bumi dan mendarat di bumi. Disana disebut meteorites/batu bintang, dan
biasanya cukup dingin untuk disentuh ketika mereka mendarat.

READING 3 FOR QUESTIONS 171 – 175.
Just
hearing the name Vedic was enough to frighten the criminal in Paris, France, in
early 1800s. They knew that once the great detective was on their trail they
were certain to be caught. Hanya
mendengar nama Vedic cukup membuat takut pelaku criminal di Paris Perancis di
awal 1800. Mereka mengetahui bhw suatu ketika detektif yg hebat berada di suatu
tempat mereka dipastikan ditangkap.
Francois
Eugene Vedic was clever at solving strange crimes. He often wore disguises.
Then he could mingle with criminals without being noticed. By mixing with
robbers, he often gathered the facts he needed to catch them. For one case he
would dress as a cruel, hard nosed man. For another case he would appear as a
raggedy old person. FEV pandai memecahkan
masalah tindak kejahatan yg aneh. Dia sering melakukan penyamaran. Kemudian ia
dapat berbaur dg penjahat/narapidana tanpa diperhatikan. Dg membaur dg para
perampok, ia sering mengumpulkan fakta yg ia perlukan untuk menangkap mereka.
Untuk satu kasus, ia akan bergaya seperti seorang yg kejam dan berhidung keras.
Untuk kasus yl ia akan muncul sebagai seorang tua yg berpakaian compang
camping.
As a
young man Vedic was himself as a prisoner. He learned a lot of about the habits
of criminals. When he became a detective, Vedic remembered that criminals often
repeat their methods. So he inaugurated (melantik) a new way for keeping files
on criminals. Police now use this system throughout the world. Sebagai orang laki laki muda Vedic sendiri
seperti seorang narapidana. Ia berlajar banyak ttg kebiasaan para penjahat.
Ketika ia menjadi detektif, Vedic mengingat bhw penjahat sering mengulang cara
cara mereka. Maka ia melantik/membuka suatu cara baru untuk menyimpan file file
para penjahat. Polisi sekarang menggunakan sistim ini diseluruh dunia.
During
his years as a detective, Vedic was responsible for the arrest of at least
20,000 criminals. Once Vedic was sent to raid a den of robbers. An official
insisted the operation would take 1,000 members of the police force. Selama masa waktunya sebagai seorang
detektif, Vedic bertanggung jawab atas penahatan kurang lebih 20.000 penjahat.
Pd suatu ketika Vedic dikirim untuk menggrebek sarang perampok. Seorang pejabat
meminta dg tegas /menuntut/mendesak operasi tsb akan menggunakan 1000 anggota
angkatan kepolisian.
“I
shall need only eight!” declared Vedic. As the eight police officers waited outside,
Vedic entered the room where the thieves were meeting and shouted, “I am
Vedic!”. At the sound of his name, the robbers dropped their knives and lined
up. Saya hanya akan memerlukan 8 anggota,
Vedic menyatakan. Selagi 8 anggota polisi menunggu diluar, Vedic memasuki
ruangan dimana para pencuri sedang melakukan pertemuan, dan berteriak, Saya
Vedic. Begitu terdengar namanya disuarakan, para perampok menjatuhkan pisau
mereka dan antri.

READING 4 FOR QUESTIONS 176 – 180. COMBUSTION/PEMBAKARAN.
Do
you know why it is dangerous to leave paint rags piled in a corner? The rags
can catch fire without being near a match. The fire starts when the oxygen in
the air mixes with chemicals on the paint rags. The heat given off by the pile
of rags is not able to escape as fast as it is made. So the temperature rises
higher and higher until a fire starts. This set of actions is called
spontaneous combustion. Other things can also burst into flame “spontaneously”
of by themselves, in places such as a damp of haystacks or the hold of coal
carrying ships. Tahukah anda mengapa
berbahaya meninggal kan kain lap cat teronggok di sudut? Kain lap dpt menangkap
api tanpa didekatkan korek api. Api mulai ketika oxygen di udara bercampur dg
bahan kimia pd kain lap cat. Panas yg dikeluarkan oleh tumpukan kain lap tdk
dpt melepaskan secepat seperti yg ia buat. Maka temperature udara meningkat
lebih tinggi dan lebih tinggi sampai api mulai menyala. Rangkaian kejadian ini
disebut pembakaran secara spontanitas /secara spontan. Hal yg lain dpt juga meledak menimbulkan api
secara spontan oleh mereka sendiri di tempat tempat seperti timbunan rumput
kering yg lembab atau kapal pengangkut batubara.
Many
series fire happen because of spontaneous combustion. But most fire start from
a source of heat, such as match. When a match on fire the combustion, or
burning start with a chemical reaction, just as in spontaneous combustion. But
this time the fire doesn’t begin by itself. Something called friction starts
it. (When the match tip is rubbed against a rough surface, friction heats the
tip so that burning begins.) The very hot flame breaks down the chemicals on
the match tip, and oxygen is released. The oxygen keeps combining with the
chemicals to keep the tip burning. Then the flame is hot enough to burn the
rest of the matchstick. Banyak rangkaian
kebakaran terjadi karena pembakaran secara spontan. Tetapi sebagian api mulai
dari suatu sumber panas, seperti korek api.
Ketika
sebuah korek terbakar pembakaran atau pengapian mulai dg suatu reaksi bahan
kimia, hanya sbg pembakaran spontan. Tetapi waktu ini api tidak mulai dg
sendirinya. Sesuatu disebut friction / pergesekan memulainya. (ketika ujung
korek digesek Pd permukaan yg kasar, pergesekan memanas kan ujung tsb hingga
pembakaran mulai). Api yang sangat panas menguraikan bahan kimia pd ujung korek
dan oxygen dilepas. Oxygen menjaga gabungan dg bahan kimia utk menjaga ujung
tsb terbakar. Kemudian api cukup panas untuk membakar sisa tangkai korek.
Burst kb. ledakan. -kkt. (burst) membuka keras. -kki. 1 meledak
(pecah). 2 penuh.
Damp kb. gas, kabut (kelembaban), uap.
