The greenhouse effect is a warming of the air around us. It gets its names from the greenhouses that people use to grow plants. These greenhouses let in heat from sunlight and trap it inside. Earth’s atmosphere the layer of air that surrounds our planet also traps heat. Greenhouse effect is raised temperature at a planet’s surface as result of heat energy being trapped by gases in the atmoshpere. Certain gases cause the atmosphere to act like the glass in a greenhouse. As a result, the temperature of a planet’s surface may be higher that it otherwise would be on earth about 330C higher. The main gases that produce the greenhouse effect on earth are water vapour and carbon dioxide .Scientist suspect that increased discharge of carbondioxide from human activity is contributing to global warming. From the text we know that a greenhouse…

Jellyfish are not really fish .They are invertebrate animals .This means that unlike fish or people, they have no backbones. In fact, they have no bones at all. Jellyfish have stomachs and mouths, but no heads. They have nervous systems for sensing the world around them, but no brains. They are made almost entirely of water, which is why you can look through them. Some jelly fish can glow in darkness by making their own light. The light is made by a chemical reaction inside the jellyfish. Scientist believes jellyfish glow for several reason. For example, they made glow to scare away predator or to atract animals they like to eat. Most jellyfish live in salt water, apart from a few types that live in fresh water. Jellyfish are found in ocean and seas all over the world. They live in warm tropical seas and in icy waters and near the North and south poles. Which one creates Jellyfish light?

Fuel Price Government should not raise fuel price to solve the problem of economic issues. People were affected severely with the high fuel price like last year. Obviously they cut their spending. As an example, they had to buy lower quality of rice or palm oil. There were also fewer buyers of secondary commodities like flour, or canned meat or fish. Furthermore, the condition of low income family will become even worse because their expenses will increase while their salaries will not. Many companies will have to trim the number of employees because they are incapable of managing, buying or selling price, standard wages and personal affairs. Finally, government should not raise fuel price to overcome economic problem but the solution should be sought by tapping into the nation’s own potential and utilizing it to enhance productivity to its maximum.

TEXT 12 In the 1990s, the astronomer Edwin Hubble found that stars exist in huge groups, called galaxies. It was only about seventy years ago that astronomers who were taking pictures of the heavens noticed some vague, cloud like formations on their photographic plates. It was thought that there were near clouds of gases. But as larger, more accurate telescopes were constructed, the 'gases' turned out to be something far more surprising galaxies. Galaxies, is a vast, rotating group of stars, gas and dust. Galaxies have been called' island universes', because each one of them is indeed like a universe. The earth, the sun, which is actually a star and other planets of our solar system are tiny parts of our galaxy, which. is called the 'MILKY WAY". This name comes from the Greek word galaxy which means “milky way". Our Milky Way galaxy is, only of a "normal size". Yet it is very vast, containing about one hundred billion (thousand million) stars including the planets of our solar system and other materials such as gases and Oust. The diameter of our galaxy is so fast as the speed of light (about three million per second), it would take you a hundred thousand years to cross it. How many kilometers is that? Well, since light travels about nine and half trillion (million) kilometers in a year, multiply that by 100.000 yard, you have the answer: our galaxy the Milky Way, is about 950 quadrillion kilometers in diameter. (A quadrillion is the number I followed by fifteen zero). When did the astronomer learn that the gases they saw were actually galaxies ?
