On Friday, June 12th, I
woke up at six o’clock and no wonder, it was my birthday. But of course I was
not allowed to get up at that hour, so I had to control my curiosity until a
quarter to seven. Then I could bear it no longer, and went to the dining
room, where I received a warm welcome from Moortje (the cat).
Soon after seven I went to Mummy
and Daddy and then to the sitting room to undo my presents. The first to
greet me was you, possibly the nicest of all. Then on the table
there were a bunch of roses, a plant, and some peonies, and more arrived
during the day.
I got masses of things from Mummy and
Daddy, and was thoroughly spoiled by various friends. Among other things I
was given Camera Obscura, a party game, lots of sweets,
chocolates, a puzzle, a brooch, Tales and Legends of the Netherlands by
Joseph Cohen, Daisy’s Mountain Holiday (a terrific book) and
some money. Now I can by The Myths of Greece and Rome – grand!
Then Lies called for me and we
went to school. During recess I treated everyone to sweet biscuits, and then
we had to go back to our lessons.
Now I must
stop. Bye-bye, we’re going to be great pals!

The following text is for questions 4-6
Long long ago, there was a kingdom in
West Java. The kingdom was ruled by a king named His Majesty Prabu. Prabu was
a kind and wise king. But it was a pity that Prabu and his queen hadn't got
any children. The queen often cried. That was why Prabu went to the jungle.
There he prayed to God every day, begging for a child.
A few months later, the queen got
pregnant. Nine months later, a princess was born. Prabu and Queen loved their
beautiful daughter so much. They gave whatever she wanted. It made Princess
turn into a very spoiled girl.
One day, the princess celebrated her
17th birthday party. Many people gathered in the palace. Then, Prabu took out
a necklace which was made from gold and jewel. "My beloved daughter,
today I give you this necklace. Please, wear this necklace," said Prabu.
"I don't want to wear it! It's ugly!" shouted the princess. Then
she threw the necklace. The beautiful necklace was broken. The gold and
jewels were spread out on the floor. Everybody couldn't say anything. They never
thought that their beloved princess would do that cruel thing. In their
silence, people heard the queen crying. Every woman felt sad and began
crying, too. Then, everybody was crying. Then, there was a miracle. Earth was
crying.
Suddenly, from the underground, a spring
emerged. It made a pool of water. Soon, the place became a big lake. The lake
finally sank the kingdom.
Nowadays, people called the lake
"Telaga Warna". It means "Lake of Color". On a bright
day, the lake is full of color. These colors come from shadows of forest,
plants, flowers, and sky around the lake. But some people said that the
colors are from the princess's necklace, which spreads at the bottom of the
lake.

The following text is for questions 7-10
Asia
News Network (The Yomiuri Shimbun), Sci-Tech. Japanese researchers have
developed a robotic system that can convey the sense of touch-including
temperature, hardness and texture-from a robot to human hand. The system was
developed by Susumu Tachi, a special professor at Keiko University, and his
development staff.
The
user wears a helmet with a monitor display, a vest and gloves that can receive
the ‘sense of touch’ of fabric and objects grasped by the robot. The vest
transmits information about the wearer’s position and posture, while the gloves
recreate the sense of touch and
temperature of the object.
When
the user tries to touch an item displayed on the monitor, the robot grasps the
real item and transmits data about its temperature and hardness.
As
the robot has a number of sensors on its fingertips, the user can even feel the
vibration of marbles in a glass container and detect differences in the fee.
