Part B. Active Listening. Listen to Mike, talking about whales. While listening, complete
the missing words with the words you hear.

Whales are sea-livings mammals. They therefore breathe air but cannot survive on land.
Some species are very large indeed and the blue whale, which can exceed 30 meters in
length, is the largest animal to have lived on earth. Superficially, the whale looks rather
like a fish, but there are important differences in its external structure; its tail consists of a
pair of broad, flat horizontal paddles (the tail of a fish is vertical) and it has a single
nostril on top of its large, broad head. The skin is smooth and shiny and beneath it lies a
layer of fat (blubber). This is can be up to 30 centimeters in thickness and serves heat and
body fluids.

B. Your Challenge. Listen to Belle, talking about spider. While listening, complete the
missing words. Then, answer the questions.

Uhmm....... do you know Arachnids? I mean, it is a spider. Spiders are not insects.

I mean spiders are Arachnids. Arachnids have four bite pairs of legs but they only have
two body parts while insects have three pairs of legs and three body parts. The most
surprising thing is that spiders have two to four pair of eyes. They can see extremely well.

Uhm .... spiders eat small insects such as flies and mosquitoes and you know what? They
sometimes bite people. When a spider bites an insect, it doesn’t kill the insect
immediately but a special poison passes through its fangs, and this poison paralyzes the
body of the unlucky insect.

Most spiders make their own homes. They do this with a special substance produced by
their bodies. In the corner of some rooms it is possible to find a spider’s web where the
spider is waiting for its next dinner guest.

Why do the Sun and the Moon live in the sky?

(A Nigerian Folk tale )

Here is the story. A long time ago, when the world was new, the Sun married the Moon
and they lived as happily as can be. They lived in a little cottage near the Ocean.

You know what? One day, the Sun and the Moon invited the Ocean to their house for a
visit. The Ocean liked it so much. He wanted to stay in a little cottage. The Sun and the
Moon liked the Ocean and hoped the cottage would be big enough for all three of them.

So the Sun and the Moon invited the Ocean to stay with them. What happened then?
Then came the Ocean with all his friends; the whales, the fish, the tortoises, the crabs and
all the creatures that live in the sea.

Oh my….. The water rose higher and higher in the cottage. Soon, there was no more
room for the Sun and the Moon. Oh, how poor they were. They rose up into the sky
where they have lived ever since. Well, that’s the story.

Moon live in the sky?' (New Mexico version). Complete the text and answer the
questions.

Why do the Sun and the Moon live in the sky?

(New Mexico Version )

Long time ago, there was no day. It was always dark and always summer. This was
because the Kachina, a very powerful people had stolen the Sun and the Moon and locked
them away in a box. In the light, Coyote and Eagle, two friends wandered the desert.

Coyote and Eagle had always hunted together, but Coyote could not hunt anymore
because he could not see at night. Coyote suggested that they go to find the Sun and the
Moon and make them light up the world. Eagle was worried. He reminded Coyote that
the Sun and the Moon were very strong and it was dangerous to try to trick them.

In the end, Eagle agreed to help Coyote. While the Kachina were sleeping, Coyote and
Eagle crept into their village, stole the Sun and the Moon, and headed into the hills.
Coyote told Eagle that he wanted to open the box containing the Sun and the Moon.
Eagle said, “No.” They must wait until their travels and open it with their eyes closed.
Coyote grumbled. He couldn’t wait to see what was in the box.

Finally, he grew so curious that he threw it open. The light of the Sun was so bright that it
blinded Coyote’s eyes. The Sun and the Moon laughed and flew far away, up into the sky
where they are today.

talked and talked. Then one day when one of them talked to an iguana and didn't let the
iguana say one word. The iguana just grumbled and waved her tail until she forgot to say,
'Hello” to her friend a snake. After that, everything was in a mess. The snake was so

Cleopatra, Queen of Egypt, was known throughout the ancient world for her beauty and
intelligence. Every man would fall in love with her. Antony, who with two others ruled
Rome after the death of Julius Caesar, went to the East to meet Cleopatra and discover
she was plotting against Rome.

When Antony reached Egypt and saw Cleopatra for the first time, he was fascinated with
her beauty and fell in love with her; he completely forgot his purpose there.

Antony stayed in Egypt enjoying the lazy and luxurious life with Cleopatra. Cleopatra
was very happy. She asked him to live in Egypt forever.

Meanwhile, Anthony’s fellow ruler in Rome, Octavius was angry to hear that Antony
spent his time in merry-making in Egypt while Rome was threatened by its enemy,
Pompey. So, he arranged a marriage between her sister, Octavia and Anthony for political
reasons and restored the friendship.
Although Antony treated his wife with great kindness and respect, he longed for
Cleopatra in Egypt. In fact, he knew that Octavius was ambitious and wanted to be a
single ruler in Rome. At last Antony went back to Egypt and joined with Cleopatra
against Rome.

This time Octavius could not tolerate Antony so he sent his army to Actium to fight
Antony and Cleopatra's army. The battle was so fierce that Antony and Cleopatra lost
their armies.

Feeling ashamed of being dishonored, Antony took his own life using his own sword.
Cleopatra was speechless with grief. She couldn’t go on living without Antony. She told
her servants to bring her two poisonous snakes. And so, dressed in a queen, she prepared
for her death. On her throat and her arm she placed two snakes which bite and killed her
instantly.

A : Oh, please, Mum, tell me. I’m curious.

B : All right….all right. Don’t behave like a five-year old child, okay?

A : Okay. Now, what’s the story?

B : Well, this is the story. Long, long time ago, a hawk fell in love with a hen. The
hawk flew down from the sky and asked the hen,”Will you marry me?” You
know what? The hen loved the brave, strong hawk in return and wished to
marry him. But she said,” I cannot fly as high as you can. If you give me time, I
may learn to fly as high as you. Then, we can fly together.”

The hawk agreed. Before he went away, he gave the hen a ring. ”This is to show
that you have promised to marry me,” said the hawk. It so happened that the hen
already promised to marry a rooster. So, when the rooster saw the ring, he
became very angry. “Throw that ring away at once!” shouted the rooster. The
 hen was so frightened at the rooster’s anger that she threw away the ring
immediately.

When the hawk came a few months later, the hen told him that the truth. The
hawk was so furious that he cursed the hen. “Why didn’t you tell me earlier?
Now, you’ll always be scratching the earth, and I’ll be always be flying above
to catch your children.” said the hawk.

A : The curse seems to have come true, doesn’t it? Thanks for the story, Mum.

Part G. Sixth Challenge. Listen to the story of Anne Boleyn. While listening, fill in the
blanks with the words you hear. Then, do the following task.

Anne Boleyn

During the reign of King Henry VIII of England in 1522, Anne Boleyn, the daughter of
Sir Thomas Boleyn and a niece of the Duke of Norfolk, returned to England from France
where she spent her childhood. She became the Lady-in waiting into the service of
Catherine of Aragon, King Henry VIII’s first wife.

She soon caught the eyes of the King. The King tried to make Anne his mistress but Anne
refused it. Her sister, Mary Boleyn had been the king’s mistress and gained little from it
but a scandal. She demanded that the King marry her. She waited nearly seven years for
Henry to obtain an annulment of his marriage with Catherine of Aragon. In 1532 Henry
VIII and Catherine divorced. It finally took an unavoidable breaking with the Pope in
Rome before they wed in the mid of September in 1533.

A year later Anne was pregnant, but she was unable to give the King the son he
desperately needed for an heir. The King was so disappointed. Their marriage ended
tragically for Anne. She was accused of witchcraft, incest and adultery. On May 19th,
1536 she was beheaded at the Tower of London. Ten days after her death, King Henry
married to Lady Jane Seymour who was able to give the king a son, Prince Edward. But
this didn’t last long. The young prince died young. Elisabeth, the daughter of Anne and
Henry VIII became England’s greatest queen.

Cars Should be Banned from Cities

Cars should be banned from the city. As we all know, cars create pollution, and cause a
lot of road deaths and other accidents.

Firstly, cars, as well as we know, contribute to most of the pollution in the world. Cars
emit a deadly gas that causes illness such as bronchitis, lung cancers and “triggers” of
asthma. Some of these illnesses are so bad that people can die from them.

Secondly, a city is very busy. Pedestrians wander everywhere and cars commonly hit
pedestrians in a city, which causes them to die. Cars, today, are the biggest killers on
roads.

In conclusion, cars should be banned from a city for the reasons listed above.

Part G. Sixth Challenge. Listen to the following interview. While listening, complete the
blanks. Then, answer the questions.

A : Hey guys! Nice to see you again. Welcome back in the “Young Learners”
Program. I’m Lala, your host. Guys, this time I’d like to interview a high school
student, named Melissa. Good morning, Melissa.

B : Good morning, Lala.

A : Well, guys. In this occasion we will be talking about an interesting topic. Guess
what it is…..uhuh…….it’s HOMEWORK! Okay, Melissa do your teachers
always give you homework to do at home ?

B : Most of the time.

A : Hm….really ? How do you feel about it? Is it effective or ineffective?

B : Well, I personally think that homework is ineffective in developing student's
skills.

A : Oh, that surprises me. Tell me about that.

B : Well, in the first place, homework is a waste of time, because you’re just
forced to complete tasks that you already know how to do.

A : Now, that’s an interesting point. And then?

B : Hmm….secondly, homework is ineffective because the tasks you do involve

more memory than discovery. Most of the tasks you do are just repetition and
therefore you don’t discover or learn anything.

A : Really?

B : Moreover, I would say that homework is inefficient because when most kids
come home from school they’re usually tired from all the work that they have
done during the day and they probably won’t produce their best work for the
tasks.

A : Okay, Melissa. So, what is your conclusion then?

B : My conclusion is that homework is ineffective and is not the best way to

develop students’ skills.

A : Guys, those are Melissa’s opinion about homework. Now, let’s see what others
say about homework. Well, thank you Melissa. See you.

Once upon a time in Pasundan land, Garut, West Java, there lived a young rich widow.
She lived in a very beautiful large house in a village near Mount Situ Patenggang. This
young widow lived alone. Although her wealth was plentiful, she didn't have any friends
at all. You know why? Because she was a miser. She never helped other poor people in
her village, so people in the village named her Bagendit. It means a wealthy miser. And
you know what she did? She mocked and scorned other people who came to her house
for a help. What happened then?

One day, an old man came to her house. He wanted to get some water from Bagendit's
well. When he was trying to get a pail of water, Bagendit came out of the house and hit
the old man with a pounder. She beat up the man cruelly many times. Then, something
amazing happened. The old man got up steadily. He walked closer to Bagendit and
pointed his cane to her face.

“Let God curse you, woman! For you are evil and ruthless!” rebuked the man sharply.

Do you know what happened after that? Suddenly the water from the well gushed out
violently and in a sudden the water flooded over the village. Bagendit and her beautiful
house were drowned in the water.

The village disappeared and nothing was left. There was only a wide and deep lake and
people called it Situ Bagendit. It means the Lake of Bagendit. Well, that's the story.

for her. She felt sorry for her and prayed to God to help Galuh Candra Kirana.

I’m not mistaken.

T : Correct. Good student.

S : What a strong man he is. What’s his name, ma'am?

T : His name was Joko Tole.

S : That sounds funny!

T : Students, have you heard the story of Joko Tole?

S : Not yet, ma'am. Would you like to tell us the story?.

T : All right. Here is the story.In the Kingdom of Majapahit, there was a young
strong man. He was from Madura. His name was Joko Tole. He was so famous for his
strength that the king admired him and often gave him a lot of gifts. And this made
several officials feel jealous of him. So, they slandered Joko Tole. They told that Joko
Tole planned to rebel against the king.
S : Did the King believe that?

T : Well, fortunately, the king was a wise man. He made a test for Joko Tole. He
asked Joko Tole to marry his blind daughter. And Joko Tole agreed to marry her. The
King nodded and smiled happily.

S : He must have been faithful to the King.

T : In fact he was. Then, a few days later there was a great wedding celebration in
the kingdom. Joko Tole married Dewi Ratnadi, the King’s daughter. After the wedding
was over, the new married couple asked the King’s permission to go to Sumenep in
Madura. The king permitted them. So Joko Tole and his wife left Majapahit for Madura.
During the journey, Joko Tole cared for his wife very much. He always guided her
gently.

S : What a guy! I wish someday I met a man like him.

T : In short, they arrived in Madura safely. Madura was a dry land. Dewi Ratnadi
wanted to take a bath after a long journey, but there was no water.

S : How unlucky she is.

T : Yes. Joko Tole took his wife’s cane and stabbed it into the ground. After a
while, he pulled the cane out and suddenly, water gushed out from the hole. The water
splashed out onto Dewi Ratnadi’s face. You know what happened then? Suddenly,
DewiRatnadi can see again!!

S : Wow, that’s a miracle!

T : It’s true. You know, until now people call the place of the spring “Soca”.It
means “eyes”.

S : So what’s the end?

T : Well, they lived happily ever after in Sumenep and the people of Sumenep and
the people of Sumenep were also very happy.

Okay students. Listen to me. I have a good story. The story is about a boy named
Michael. He was ten years old. He was not a very good pupil. Why? Because he didn’t
like doing his homework. What did he like then? Oh, he liked playing in his leisure time.
He liked football very much. Do you know why he didn’t like doing his homework?
Because he always made a lot of mistakes when he did it.

Well, one day, his mathematics teacher looked at Michael’s homework and found
that all his homework was correct. Wow, that’s a good job! Of course students, the
teacher was very pleased and surprised. So, he called Michael to his office and said to
him, “Michael, you’ve got all your homework right this time. You’re doing great. Well
done, Michael. Did your father help you?”

“No, sir” Michael said, “Usually my father did it for me. But last night he was
very busy. He had a meeting. So, he couldn’t do my homework. Then, I had to do it by
myself.”

Part B. Active Listening. Listen to the cassette. Then, answer the questions.You will hear
a radio presenter taking calls during a segment of ‘BEAUTIFUL WORLD’. Two senior
high school students, Sarah and Tuti call to talk about ‘Quitting litter-bug habits’

A : It’s ten to three and it’s time for our special program today ‘Beautiful World’….. !!
Hello, everybody, I’m Ketut Sutiono. I’ll be your host for about 15 minutes ahead and
now we already have two senior high school students, Sarah and Tuti on the line ready
to debate about our topic of the day: ‘Quashing litter-bug habits.’ If you do care to your
environment, please join the show by sending SMS to us. All you have to do is to type
B-W space Sarah, S-A-R-A-H, or B-W space Tuti, T-U-T-I, and send it to 1313.
Remember, tomorrow, at the end of the segment we will give a cool gift for the luckiest
listener. Okay, back to our topic today: Quashing litter-bug habits. Listeners, the
problem of littering reflects a lack of responsibility on all sides. Although heavy penalty
has already been arranged under government regulation, many people still drop broken
bottles or empty cans in public places, like parks or streets, even in the river. It’s always
interesting to know how the youth are concerned about social problems like littering.
First on the line is Sarah. Hello. Thank you for being part of our program. Please tell us
what do you think of this bad habit?

B : I am against this bad habit 100%. I personally believe that throwing litter on the
ground is a very bad habit. Everybody knows that. However, many people do it. I think
that’s because they don’t care about a clean and healthy environment. I would say that
these kinds of people are really really selfish. I mean, don’t they realize the effect of
throwing litter carelessly. And …

A : Okay Sarah, hold on one second. Now the question is: ‘What is your suggestion or
advice for these people’s bad habits?’

B : Well, honestly, I don’t have anything to say to such people who don’t have awareness
to their environment. Maybe we should just let them do whatever they want but when
there are disasters like floods or disease, don’t help them!

A : Well, well, well .… I don’t know how to comment on that. How about you listeners,
are you going to support Sarah’s opinion? If you do, send your SMS to 1313. And
now, our next participant is Tuti. Hello Tuti… sorry, you’ve been holding on very
patiently. Do you have any different opinion about this bad habit?

C : Honestly, I always feel so bad every time I see people throwing litter on the ground
instead of intothe litter bin. Don’t they understand that this bad habit is a dangerous
thing? If we step on a banana skin, for example, we can slip and fall down and get
injured. And the worst thing of throwing litter carelessly is that our environment will
get dirty and the air will full of bad odors. Really, it isn’t good at all.
A : I agree with you, Tuti. So, what’s your suggestion to overcome this bad habit?

C : It’s so simple, Mr. Ketut. I believe that we must start it from our homes. We have to
clean our gardens and also keep our neighborhood clean.

A : All right, Tuti. Now dearest listeners, are you going to support Tuti’s or Sarah’s
opinion? It’s all up to you, dearest listeners. Just send your SMS as many as possible.
And the luckiest listener will be announced tomorrow at the same time and the same
program here in ‘Beautiful World’. So don’t miss it, okay. And thank you very much,
Sarah, Tuti. All in all, time’s up. I’m Ketut Sutiono sign out. Bye.

Part C. Enjoy This. Listen to the following conversation between a daughter and her
mother. While listening, complete the text below. Then, answer the questions.

A : Morning, Mom, look here. Yes page 5, column 1. Read it carefully, Mom.

B : Morning, dear. Good news? Okay, let me see. You mean “ Tap water should be free of
charge.” It’s good news, isn’t it?

A : Read the issue more closely Mom.

B : Mm…The tap water rate increase, one of the automatic increases will take place every
six months for the next five years. The city administration says the money collected
from the increase will be used to pay an outstanding debt of 938 billion rupiahs to its
foreign water company partner. Oh, dear. I can understand an increase in fuel and gas
prices, but water is supposed to be subsidized by the government.

A : It annoys me too, Mom. I have been thinking about the impact of the water rate hike. I
realize it depends on who’s using it. But as far as I know most of the users are low-
income families, who are already suffering from the recent fuel and gas price hike.

B : Maybe, it is because Jakartans are mostly business people, ranging from street vendors
to tycoons and you know dear, they use large amount of water.

A : Well, you’re right but still I think that the government should provide water for free
because it is a public resource. If the tap water rate increase is a must, I hope that the
increase will improve service.

B : Oh, I think I can’t stand it anymore. How can we manage our life with our same
amount of salary?

A : Okay, Mom, but don’t be so scared. You still have me.

B : Oh, thank you dear. Okay, let’s enjoy our breakfast.

Part C. Second Challenge. Listen to the cassette. Fill in the blanks. Then, answer the
questions.

Crime in Cities

Crime is a serious problem in big cities and it is getting worse every year. This is what
police departments around the country said in their reports last week. The subways and
streets are more dangerous. You may not even be safe in your own houses.

Why is the problem so serious now? This is not an easy question to answer. There may
not be a single answer. Many problems together seem to make cities so dangerous from
time to time.

One more of the problems is money. To fight crime a city needs police officers, cars, and
guns. These cost a lot of money. But right now cities do not have much extra money. So,
there are not enough police officers, cars and guns for the cities.

Another problem is drugs. Crime studies have shown that many criminals use and sell
drugs. After they start taking drugs, they want to have more. However, drugs are very
expensive. So, these people have to sell drugs to other people to make money or they may
steal money to get more drugs.

There is an even more important cause of crime. Cities have rich and poor
neighborhoods. In the poor neighborhoods, jobs are hard to find. Many young people
don’t have much hope for a better life. They only know one way to make a better living
for themselves, that way is to sell drugs or steal. So, some of these young people have
become criminals.

It is not going to be easy to change these crime problems. We must first change many of
laws about drugs. We must change the way cities spend their money. Until then, the
crime problem will not go away and we will live our lives in fear.
