THE BIRD AND THE BUMBLEBEE
It was a very hot day. The sun was shining brightly. There were no clouds in the sky. Bubble
bumblebee stopped by a stream for a drink. Suddenly, she slipped and fell into the water. She tried
hard to get out of the water but she couldn’t. “Help! Help!” cried Bubble. Just then, Brittany Bird flew
past. She saw Bubble in the water. Quickly, she plucked a leaf from a tree and dropped it into the
stream. “Climb onto the leaf!” she yelled to Bubble. Bubble climbed onto the leaf. She was safe.
“Thank you, Bird,” said Bubble in a soft voice. “I shall never forget your kindness to me.” One day, a
hunter came to the forest. He saw Brittany Bird in a tree. “What a nice, fat bird,” he thought to himself.
“It will make good soup.”The hunter lifted his gun and aimed. He did not see the little bumblebee
flying towards him. Brittany did not know the hunter was there. Suddenly, the hunter screamed loudly.
He dropped his gun. Bubble Bumblebee had stung him! Brittany heard the hunter’s screams and flew
away. “Thank you for saving my life,” she said to Bubble.

Dear Sabrina,
Please let me express my deepest sympathies to you and the children. I was shocked and
shattered when I heard about Frank's horrific accident. I can't even imagine what you have been
going through for the past ten days.
As you know, Frank and I have been colleagues and friends for the past eight years. His
tragic loss leaves a terrible void in our office. He was so well-liked and respected by everyone
who came into contact with him, both colleagues and clients alike. He had tremendous people
skills, and as such, was a role model in our company and the industry at large.
I trust that, when they are older, the children will be made aware of what an outstanding
person Frank was in his professional life.
Sabrina, please feel free to contact me if I can help in any way while you go through this
very difficult period. I will support you in any way that I can should you reach out to me.
Also, please tell the children how terribly devastated all of us are here at the company due
to their father's tragic passing.
Sincere sympathy,
Darlene Francis

WATER POLLUTION
Water pollution is a large set of adverse effects upon water bodies (lakes, rivers, oceans,
groundwater) caused by human activities. Although natural phenomena such as volcanoes, storms,
earthquakes etc. also cause major changes in water quality and the ecological status of water, these
are not deemed to be pollution.
Water pollution has many causes and characteristics. Increases in nutrient loading may
Try Out Paket 1/Bahasa Inggris/2009-2010 (A) 9

10. lead to eutrophication. Organic wastes such as sewage and farm waste impose high oxygen
demands on the receiving water leading to oxygen depletion with potentially severe impacts on
the whole eco-system. Industries discharge a variety of pollutants in their wastewater including
heavy metals, organic toxins, oils, nutrients, and solids. Discharges can also have thermal effects,
especially those from power stations, and these too reduce the available oxygen. Silt-bearing
runoff from many activities including construction sites, forestry and farms can inhibit the
penetration of sunlight through the water column restricting photosynthesis and causing
blanketing of the lake or river bed which in turns damages the ecology.

KOMODO
Do you know what the largest lizard is? This lizard is called komodo. It lives in the scrub
and woodland of a few Indonesian islands.
Komodo dragon is the world's heaviest lizard, weighing 150 pounds or more. The largest
Komodo ever measured was more than 10 feet (3 meters) long and weighed 366 pounds (166 kg)
but the average size of komodo in the wild is about 8 feet (2.5 meters) long and 200 pounds (91
kg)
Komodo has gray scaly skin, a pointed snout, powerful limbs and a muscular tail. They use
their keen sense of smell to locate decaying animal remains from several miles away. They also
hunt other lizards as well as large mammals and are sometimes cannibalistic.
The Komodo dragons’ teeth are almost completely covered by its gums. When it feeds, the
gums bleed, creating an ideal culture for virulent bacteria. The bacteria that lives in the Komodo
dragons’ saliva causes septicemia, or blood poisoning in its victims. A dragon will bite its prey,
and then follow it until the animal is too weak to carry on.
This lizard species is threatened by hunting, loss of prey species and habitat loss.

Qui Jun and the Arrogant Monk
After the army officer's son had departed Qui Jun asked Shan the
reason for his double-faced behavior.
Then Qui Jun said that for him beating meant not beating and not
beating meant beating.
There once lived a monk called Shan, in a village in China.
Shan immediately realized the folly of his actions and started showing
respect to everyone
Qui Jun heard of his arrogance and wanted to teach the monk a lesson.
He went to meet Shan but the monk neither greeted him nor
acknowledged his presence.
He had earned a great name for himself, but he was very arrogant
Shan the Monk answered that for him greeting meant not greeting and
not greeting meant greeting.
Qui Jun understood the monk's mischief and hit him hard on his head with his stick.
However, when the son of army officer came Shan welcomed him with respect..
