SKL 1: PIKIRAN UTAMA
Read the texts and answer the questions.

There are about 20,000 species, or kinds of bees. Bees live everywhere in the world except on high mountains, in the Arctic and Antarctic, and on some small islands in the ocean.
Some bees are as small as 0.08 inch (2 millimeters). Some bees are as big as 1.6 inches (4 centimeters). Bees come in many colors—black, gray, yellow, red, green, or blue. Most bees live alone. They are called solitary bees. Some bees live in groups called colonies. They are social bees.

1.     What does the text mostly tell you about?
2.     What is the main idea of the second paragraph?

Killer bees are a cross between African honey bees and European honey bees, the main kind of honey bee in the United States. Researchers brought African bees to South America. The bees escaped in the 1970s and mated with European honey bees. The killer bees they produced will attack in swarms. They will sting and kill large animals and people.
Killer bees spread north into Central America and the southern United States. Beekeepers worry that the killer bees could harm their honey bees and threaten the important work that honey bees do.
3.     What is the text about?
4.     The second paragraph is talking about……

This is Cassa. He is the male chimpanzee that tended quiet and loner. Cassa could be recognized by seeing the color of his silvery hair, slender body and non symmetrical mouth.
This one is Campo, a female chimpanzee. She is the wife of Cassa and mother of Monica. Campo is friendly enough with humankind. Don’t extend the hands to Campo because she will extend her hands too. That means she is asking for food. Campo could be recognized from her thin arms hair, with the scar on left ears under the left eyes and nostrils.
As the day increases the two of them will not easily be found because they hide on the tamarind tree. Try to find them beyond the tree.

5.    What does the text tell you about?
6.    What is the second paragraph about?
It is possible that we cannot bring a dictionary with us somewhere, but we have to know the meaning of certain word from the text we are reading. In this situation the ability to know the meaning of the word is very important.
7.    What is passage talking about?
A flood is an overflow of an expanse of water that submerges land. The EU Floods directive defines a flood as a temporary covering by water of land not normally covered by water.]In the sense of "flowing water", the word may also be applied to the inflow of the tide. Flooding may result from the volume of water within a body of water, such as a river or lake, which overflows or breaks levees, with the result that some of the water escapes its usual boundaries.
While the size of a lake or other body of water will vary with seasonal changes in precipitation and snow melt, it is not a significant flood unless such escapes of water endanger land areas used by man like a village, city or other inhabited area.
Floods can also occur in rivers, when flow exceeds the capacity of the river channel, particularly at bends or meanders. Floods often cause damage to homes and businesses if they are placed in natural flood plains of rivers. While flood damage can be virtually eliminated by moving away from rivers and other bodies of water, since time out of mind, people have lived and worked by the water to seek sustenance and capitalize on the gains of cheap and easy travel and commerce by being near water. That humans continue to inhabit areas threatened by flood damage is evidence that the perceived value of living near the water exceeds the cost of repeated periodic flooding.
