The following text is for number 39-40Mangrove TreesA mangrove is tropical marine tree or shrub of the genus Rhizhopora. Mangroves have special serial roots and salt-filtering tap roots that enable them to thrive in brackish water (brackish water is salty, but not as salty as sea water).There are several species of mangrove trees found all over the world. Some prefer more salinity, while others like to be very close to a large fresh water source (such as river). Some prefer areas that are sheltered from waves. Some species have their roots covered with sea water everyday during high tide. Other species grow on a dry land, but are still part of the ecosystem.Mangroves need to keep their trunk and leaves above the surface of the water. Yet they also need to be firmly attached to the ground so they are not moved by waves. There are three types of the mangrove roots that play an important role for it:1. Support roots which directly pierce the soil.2. Level-growing roots which twist upwards and downwards, with the upward twist emerging on the water surface.3. Level-growing roots whose downward twist (sub roots) appear on the water surface.Any part of a root that appears above the water flows oxygen to the plant under the water surface. As the soil begins to build up, these roots produce additional roots that become embedded in the soil.89. What is the topic of the text above?a. The characteristics of mangrovesb. Mangroves livingc.

And now in the world, bio fuel is very needed for many reasons.First, fossil fuel become rare now. Fossil fuel has been exploited all over the world. Where as, to make fossil fuel we need at least an hundred million years. So how we must live without fuel until an hundred million years later.

Second, many people have found many bio fuel, especially in Indonesia scientists have found many kinds of bio fuel, such as biogas (fuel from animal feces), banyu geni (fuel from water), bio ethanol (fuel from plants) and others. So for what if we dont use it, whereas now fossil fuel become rare and more.

Third, bio fuel is cheaper than fossil fuel. From the founders of many kinds of bio fuel, they said that bio fuel is cheaper than fossil fuel. It is because bio fuel doesnt use many sophisticated equipments and processes. And both of quality is the same.From the reasons above, we conclude that we must use bio fuel to change fossil fuel that now we use. Because bio fuel is more renewable and cheaper than fossil fuel.(M. Yanuar, XII science 4 08)93.

Fossil fuel become rare nowRegarding toxic ingredient in cooking, people usually assume that Monosodium Glutamate (MSG) is a potentially toxic food additive. But actually there is no study which has proven it. The fact is that MSG is still being researched to understand what effect the rise in serum glutamate will have post-MSG consumption.No study has provided a clear demonstration that MSG as a food additive is either harmful or safe. Glutamate is common in many foods such as cheese, peas, and meat. Research has indicated that dietary of glutamate currently used as an additive to food have shown no significant health risk and such MSG is not considered a toxic substance by the US Food and Drug Administration.However, it does not alleviate MSG of its possibly in food-borne illness. It is a subject of a great deal of research. Many studies have demonstrated toxicity in laboratory animals when MSG was ingested at a high level.In a nut shell, without sufficient research, one would never adequately determine, but one thing is absolutely for certain, one can not predict the potential effect on ones psychology when any chemically derived additive is consumed. The only true safeguard for food safety is adequately funded and established oversight of food production and distribution.96. The main idea of the second paragraph is .a.
