The Dog and the Shadow

Do you like keeping an animal in your house? Okay. Do you know the reason why people keep a dog in their house? Don’t you know that sometimes a dog can be so greedy that he steals all we have? This is a story about a greedy dog.

It happened that a dog had got a piece of meat and was carrying it home in his mouth to eat it in peace. Now on his way home, he had to cross a plank lying across a running brook . As he crossed, he looked down and saw his own shadow reflected in the water beneath. Thinking it was another dog with another piece of meat, he made up his mind to have that also. So, he made a snap at the shadow in the water, but as he opened his mouth the piece of meat fell out, dropped into the water and was never seen any more.

So, what lesson can you learn from this story?


D. THIRD CHALLENGEListen to the story of ‘The Wolf in Sheep’s Clothing’. While listening, fill in the blanks with the words you hear. Then, answer the questions.

The Wolf in Sheep's Clothing

A wolf found great difficulty in getting at the sheep owing to the vigilance of the shepherd and his dogs. But one day it found the skin of a sheep that had been flayed and thrown aside, so it put it on over its own pelt and strolled down among the sheep. The lamb that belonged to the sheep, whose skin the wolf was wearing, began to follow the wolf in the sheep’s clothing; so, leading the lamb a little apart, he soon made a meal of her, and for some time he succeeded in deceiving the sheep and enjoying hearty meals.

F. FIFTH CHALLENGE

Read and listen to the following story. Pay attention to its structure and the speaker’s intonation. Then, answer the questions.

The Faithful Lovers

The following story will be special for each of you who want to know the real meaning of love. Hmm, there once lived a chief's daughter who had many admirers. All the young men in the

village wanted to have her for a wife and were all eager to fill her skin bucket when she went to the brook for water.

There was a young man in the village. He was a good hunter; but he was poor and had a mean family. He loved the maiden and wished he could marry her. So, one day when she went for water, he threw his robe over her head while he whispered in her ear: “Will you marry me?”

For a long time the maiden acted as if she hadn’t heard anything, but one day she whispered back saying that she would be willing to marry him if he took a scalp.

So he made a war party of seven, himself and six other young men. Before they started, they sat down to smoke and rest beside a beautiful lake at the foot of a green knoll that rose from its shore. The knoll was covered with green grass and somehow as they looked at it they had a feeling that there was something about it that was mysterious or uncanny.

One of the lover’s friends was so curious about it that he ventured into the knoll. Four of the young men followed. Having reached to the top of the knoll, all five began to jump and stamp about in sport.

But, suddenly they stopped. The knoll had begun to move toward the water. It was a gigantic turtle! The five men cried out in alarm and tried to run, but it was too late! They cried; but the others could do nothing. In just a few moments, the waves had closed over them.

The other two men: the lover and his friend, went on, but with heavy hearts. After some days, they came to a river. Worn out with fatigue, the lover threw himself down on the bank. Fortunately, the lover’s friend came up to help him.

The following day, his friend told him that he found a fish which he had cleaned and asked him to eat the fish together. The lover said that if he ate the fish, his friend had to promise to fetch him all the water that he could drink. When they had eaten, the kettle was rinsed out and the lover’s friend brought it back with full of water. The lover drank the water at a draught. Again his friend filled the kettle at the river and again the lover drank it dry but still asked for more water. The lover’s friend then took the lover to the river. When the lover saw the river, he walked to the river, sprang in, and lying down in the water with his head toward land, drank greedily.

Then, he called out his friend. The friend came and was amazed to see that the lover was now a fish from his feet to his middle. Sick at heart, he ran off a little away and threw himself upon the ground in grief. After a while, he returned to find that the lover was now a fish up to his neck.

The friend went home and told his story. There was great mourning over the death of the five young men and for the lost lover. In the river, the lover had become a great fish and its fin was just above the surface. Canoes had to be portaged at great labor around the obstruction.

Meanwhile, the chief’s daughter mourned for her lover as for a husband and nobody could comfort her. Day by day, she sat inside her mother’s tepee with her head covered with her robe, silent, working, and working. Whenever her mother asked, the maiden did not reply.

The days lengthened into moons until a year had passed. And then the maiden arose. She left her mother’s tepee with holding lots of things in her hands. There were three pairs of moccasins, three


pairs of leggings, three belts, three shirts, three head dresses with beautiful feathers, and sweet smelling tobacco.

One day she had a new canoe made. Then, the next morning she stepped into the canoe and floated slowly down the river toward the great fish. Her canoe came and stopped to the place where the great fin arose. One by one she laid her presents on the fish's back, scattering the feathers and tobacco over his broad spine.

“Oh, fish,” she cried, “oh, fish, you who were my lover, I shall not forget you.. Because you were lost for love of me, I shall never marry. All my life I shall remain a widow. Take these presents. And now leave the river, and let the waters run free, so my people may once more descend in their canoes.” Slowly the great fish sank, his broad fin disappeared, and the waters of the St. Croix (Stillwater) were free.

Hand in Hand

A. FIRST PROJECTWork in groups of four. Read and listen to the following story. Pay attention to the speaker’s intonation. Then, answer the questions.

Here is a story for you to enjoy. Listen! Once upon a time there lived as neighbors, a bear and a rabbit. The rabbit was a good shot and

the bear, being very clumsy, could not use an arrow to a good advantage.The bear was very unkind to the rabbit. Every morning, the bear would call over to the rabbit

and ask the rabbit to take his bow and arrows and come with the bear to the other side of the hill. The rabbit, fearing to arouse the bear’s anger by refusing, consented and went with the bear.

The rabbit shot enough buffalo to satisfy the bear’s family. Indeed, he shot and killed so many that there was lots of meat left after the bear and his family had loaded themselves and packed all they could carry home.

However, the bear was so greedy and evil that he didn’t allow the rabbit to get any of the meat. The poor rabbit could not even taste the blood from the butchering, as the bear would throw earth on the blood and dry it up. The poor rabbit would have to go home hungry after his hard day’s work.

The bear was the father of five children. The youngest boy was very kind to the rabbit. Knowing that the youngest boy was a very hearty eater, the mother bear always gave him an extra large piece of meat. Instead of eating this extra meat, the youngest bear would take the meat outside and pretend to play ball with it, kicking it toward the rabbit's house, and when he got close to the door he would give the meat such a great kick that it would fly into the rabbit's house. In this way the poor rabbit would get his meal unknown to the papa bear.

Unit 2

Getting StartedB. ACTIVE LISTENINGRead and listen to a text about a pipeline and pay attention to the intonation. Circle the right action verbs used in the text. Then, fill in the table.Tape script Look Ahead 3 5

Have you ever heard about a pipeline in computer technology? Guess what. Right. A pipeline is very close to a computer. But can you tell me what a pipeline is? Well, let me explain. A pipeline in a computer is a sequence of stages a computer uses to carry out instructions.

The CPU makes sure every stage in a pipeline is always operating on an instruction. As a stage of a pipeline in the CPU finishes manipulating an instruction, it hands its instruction to the next stage and gets another instruction from the stage before it, moving several instructions along the pipeline simultaneously. This process is more efficient than it would be if each instruction had to start at the first stage after the previous instruction finished the final stage.

Oh, I almost forgot, the more pipelines a CPU has, the faster it can execute instructions. A CPU with two or more pipelines is said to be a super pipelined or superscalar. Okay. Have you got it? Not yet. How about going to the library and searching for more explanations about a pipeline? See you and good luck.

Good morning, students. Hmm, have you ever heard about ‘Cire Perdue’ or ‘Lost Wax’? Well, let me axplain. ‘Cire Perdue’ which is the French words for ‘lost wax’is a process of wax casting used in making metal sculptures.

When a model is coated with wax, the solidified wax is encased in a two-layer mold of plaster or clay. It is then melted or otherwise removed from the mold, and the metal is poured into the space where the wax had been. Oh, I almost forgot, after cooling, the mold is broken to free the metal object.

Making Paper from Woodchips

Do you have any paper in your bag? It may seem like a silly question but do you know how to make paper? What is paper made of ? Right. And how about ‘wood chipping’? Have you ever heard about it? Well, wood chipping is a process used to obtain pulp and paper products from forest trees.

First of all, the tops and branches of the trees are cut out and then the logs are taken to the mill. At the mill, the bark of the logs is removed and the logs are taken to a chipper which cuts them into small pieces called woodchips. The woodchips are then screened to remove dirt and other impurities. Hmm…, at this stage they are either exported in this form or changed into the pulp by chemicals and heat. Oh, I almost forgot, the pulp is then bleached and the water content is removed. Finally, the pulp is rolled out to make paper.

Considering the complexity of making paper, let’s appreciate any paper on our hands. Use it more effectively. Thank you for listening. Bye.

students who are caught up in a computer and they forget about lunch, their homework, or even want to skip after-school activities.

Andien : Yeah, I heard about that too. Once, I saw a student who was forced to leave the computer because he was so absorbed in computer games.

Viva : See what I mean? Besides, this problem will become even worse as more classroom works center around a computer. And one more thing, computers make the users unsociable.

Andien : Do they? How come?Viva : The prolonged exposure to computers makes the users lazy to socialize with other people.

They find their world more enjoyable in computers, since they are inanimate objects. This makes them abusive to other people.

Andien : You know, I can’t deny the facts that computers help us a lot in the information age. I can’t imagine what this world would be if there were no computers. How could I handle so much work in my office? How could the police regulate the traffic lights without the help of computers? How would we communicate with each other in different places without computers?

Viva : You’re right. I don’t object to that.Andien : To me, computers have more advantages than disadvantages. B. YOUR TURNListen to the following monolog. While listening, complete the missing words with the words you hear. Then, answer the questions.


Hacking: Pro and Contra?

Do you know what a hacker is? Well, a hacker is a person who enjoys exploring the details of programmable systems on computers and they like to stretch the capability of the systems. And you know what, the activities they do in the computers are called ‘hacking’.

So, what’s the problem with ‘hacking and its hackers’? Well, the problem is whether ‘hacking and its hackers’ is legal or illegal? What I mean is that people in the world have many different views about hacking and the hackers. Some of them take sides, but many object.

To get back to what I was saying previously, let us see the positive points of a hacker, shall we? Although in most places breaking into computer systems is considered illegal, I believe that hackers don’t do anything illegal because they only want to know and try the systems. I dare to say that a hacker likes finding the strengths and the weaknesses of a computer system. They feel proud if they can find the weaknesses. So I don’t really see the crimes in this case. In addition, these hackers sometimes help the police catch the ‘white collar criminals’, such as bank robbers, money launderers, credit card forgers. For example, in 2000, the U.S. hackers caught some Singaporean hackers who made ‘Virus Love’ to break up the programs of the U.S. National Security system.

Nevertheless, those who object to the good points of a hacker say that hacking is a crime. The reason is that some hackers use their brilliant skills to break into banks and other vital institutions where they can get money, destroy information, and the worst thing is they can get secret information and sell it to another country. This is a treachery.

Take for example, in 1994, The U.S. government broke a conspiracy of computer hackers out of Majorca, Spain. These hackers were responsible for accessing and eliminating 190,000 telephone credit card numbers over computer bulletin boards in America and Europe. Seeing this fact, I don’t blame those who think negatively about hackers.

To put the whole thing in a nut shell, I personally think that hackers are not bad people with their brilliant skills. However, they could be bad because of money orientation to get the wealth. That’s just the point.

make holes in them. However, now they’ve found a vaccine to attack the bacteria. They did tests on monkeys and it’s completely safe.

Jim : That’s good news. How do you get the vaccine?Jane : It isn’t on the market yet, but when it is, you’ll get it from…. Oh, I don’t think the article tells

B. FIRST CHALLENGERead and listen carefully to the following discussion. Pay attention to the speaker’s intonation. Then, answer the questions.

Is an X-Ray Examination Necessary?

Students, can you show me your hands? Right! Now can you show me your head? Excellent! But, can you show me what is inside your stomach? Hmm… Can you show me your lungs? No? Why? Yeah, you’re right. Because they are inside our body.

So what do you think, how can we see the internal parts of our body? Yes. We use an X-Ray. So, what is an X-Ray? Does anybody know? No? Well, an X-Ray is a spectrum of light. It is radiated through our body. It is used for detecting our internal body organs. Am I making myself clear?

Well, let me continue. Where can you find an X-Ray? Yes, that’s right. In a hospital. And do you know who invented the X-Ray? Does anybody know? No? Oh, come on…. Nobody remembers the name? Well, the X-Ray was invented by a German scientist, William Conrad Rontgen.

Where was I? Oh, O.K. Hmm… When do people get an X-ray? Correct. When they are ill. I mean when there is something wrong with the internal parts of their body. Can you give any examples of illnesses? When people have these diseases they need an X-Ray to check. Yes, cancer…, kidney trouble…, heart trouble…, tumors, etc.

Students, do you know that there are many conflicting opinions about the use of X-Rays in a hospital? Well, look at the chart! 60% of people agree that an X-Ray examination is beneficial. They say that doctors should use an X-Ray in examining a severe illness. If doctors don’t use an X-Ray, they could miss some important information which is very useful in making a diagnosis on a patient’s disease. And this will sometimes cause a doctor to be inaccurate in prescribing medicine to cure an illness.

However, not all patients agree with the use of X-Ray examination. Look at the chart again, 40% of patients disagree with the use of an X-Ray examination. Do you know why? Gues what? They


think that using an X-Ray examination will cost them a lot of money. That’s really true. Another reason is that the radiation of an X-Ray has some risks to body tissues.

Well, as a result of this controversy, many people use traditional health cure to avoid the high cost of hospital care. However, hospitals still insist on having X-Ray examinations on patients to get an accurate diagnosis although the cost is very high.

Skeleton in the Cupboard

Narrator : It was a busy day, as usual. The traffic circle began to get scorched in the strengthening heat of that morning as a protest was taking place. People in a long wavy line, among them religious groups and local community leaders—were staging an outcry against the issue of the “Playboy” magazine-Indonesian version. They were jamming up the well-known capital city of Jakarta. This was indeed troublesome! Sinta and I were among those who were trapped in that awful situation, behind the steering wheel.

Sinta : Is something bothering you, Ann?Annie : Ehm…. It’s from my mom at home. About my little brother, Jody.Sinta : What’s wrong with him?Annie : He was caught scanning a porn magazine in his classroom. What a shame! He’s still

15. I can’t believe my ears!Sinta : Where’s he now?Annie : My mom said he would be very upset if my dad found out, so he decided to sleep out

tonight. He’s staying at a friend’s house. He didn’t tell my mom where it was exactly. There should be no reason for him not to live up to what he has done. Besides, my dad has never been too strict with him.

Sinta : Strict? There’s nothing wrong about being hard on a child for his own good. That’s if you don’t want to let him down someday.

Annie : You know, I just wonder myself. Am I a good sister that he can be proud of?Sinta : Do you have any problems with your brother?Annie :No, … no, everything is okay. I remember the last time we had a conversation. The way

Jody talked and behaved had convinced me and I found nothing wrong with him. I know, many kids the same age as he would probably try new things to amuse and please themselves, experimenting, including sexually. Was this normal? First seeing, next doing. Could I say the time hadn’t come yet for you to do that, Jody? Oh, come on….

(Suddenly Sintas’s phone rings, it is an SMS)Sinta : Want to read this SMS?Annie : Gimme that. “Honey, where have you been? It’s been a week. Don’t you miss me?

Please reply.” Is it from your boyfriend, Syahril?Sinta : No, it is from Andre. Annie : Well, well, well…. How long have you been involved with him?Sinta : Almost a year.Annie : Oh, my God. Does your boyfriend, Syahril know it?Sinta : No, I guess not. I hope not.Annie : Look, please don’t take this wrong. But, I don’t think it’s a good idea to have two

I think it is not wise to do. I wouldn’t do that if I were you. It’s too risky. That’s a stupid thing to do. I wouldn’t do it if I were you. I think that’s not a good idea. You’d better cancel your plan.

Ways to response a prevention: I’ll consider that. I’ll think about that. I’ll think it over. I’ll reschedule my plan.

Unit 5

Getting StartedB. ACTIVE LISTENINGListen to the following pieces of information. Guess what kind of entertainment they are. Give a tick in the right column. Number 1 has been done for you.

Fantastic! The Harry Potter series and all of the books will always hold a special place in my heart!

Great! I absolutely love Jurrasic Park, and all of the science fiction movies will always please the fans, including me.

Funny! Bajaj Bajuri, and all of the comedian series will always keep me stay at home. Extremely unhappy! Since the first production of Private Lives in 1930, the play has tended not

to be seen as a vehicle for being stars. Phew! Since the first album of Padi, Lain Dunia and the latest album Save My Soul, the songs

composed have blended a wide array of musical genres.

Get It RightA. WAYS TO SAY ITShowing how you feel

Asking someone’s point of view: What do you think about the comedian series Bajaj Bajuri?


Excuse me, what do you feel about the language used in that film? What are your views about Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone? What are your feelings about the two characters which were terrified by a Tyrannosaurus rex in

Jurassic Park? What do you think about TV shows? Have you got any comments on the latest album of Padi? What is your reaction to…? I’d be glad to have your view on… What would you say to…?

Expressing points of view: Fantastic! I always love the Bajaj Bajuri serial and all of the silly ideas of these series. Awful! I must say frankly that sometimes the intimate language used in these series is very

dangerous for Indonesian children. Personally I believe…. In my view, …. It seems to me…. From my point of view…. I’d just like to say…. Well, to my mind this scene…. Personally, I consider…. To be perfectly frank….

Expressing pleased: Great! Terrific! Fantastic! Super! Phew! How wonderful! Hey, that’s terrific. It’s the best thing… Interesting. Exciting! You will like/love/enjoy the movie very much.

Expressing displeased: I am very annoyed! How irritating! Extremely unhappy! That/it makes me mad! That/it isn’t nice! How infuriating! I’m afraid… How boring! Totally uninteresting!

Moving ForwardB. FIRST CHALLENGEListen carefully to the following short interview. While listening, fill in the blanks. Then, answer the questions.

Jurrasic Park: The Lost World

A reviewer from Indonesia :Good morning to all the fans of science-fiction movies. Welcome back with me, Putri Made

Lestari, in an adventure program, Science-fiction review. Do you still remember the story of Jurassic Park I? Great! I absolutely love Jurassic Park and all the science fiction movies will always please the


fans, including me. The Lost World is Jurassic Park Part II, which is still about an island populated with real dinosaurs. Released in 1997.

This science-fiction adventure is the sequel to the box-office hit Jurassic Park (1993), in which a scientist built a dinosaur theme park on a remote island. Although those dinosaurs were destroyed, there were still some left on another island. Dr. Sarah Harding, played by Julianne Moore, and Dr. Ian Malcolm, played by Jeff Goldblum, travel to the island to observe the dinosaurs and try to prevent Roland Tembo who is played by Pete Postlethwaite from rounding the beasts up and taking them to a theme park in the United States. The weather turns bad, the dinosaurs become violent, and one of the angry beasts makes its way to Los Angeles, California. It’s very amazing, isn’t it?

Okay audience, with me this morning is Mr.Steven Spielberg, the director of the Jurassic Park. Good morning and welcome to Indonesia. I’d be glad to have your view on Jurassic Park.

Steven Spielberg: To be perfectly frank, this is not a science fiction, it’s science eventually. This movie, however, wants you to learn one thing: you decide you can control nature, and from that moment on you’re in deep trouble because you can’t do it. You can make a boat, but you can’t make the ocean. You can make an aeroplane, but you can’t make the air. Your powers are much less than your dreams would have you believe.

The reviewer from Indonesia: Wow, Jurassic Park really deserves the highest praise. Thanks for joining with Mr. Steven Spielberg and me. See you tomorrow on the same program. Bye.

D. THIRD CHALLENGEListen carefully to the following book review. While listening, fill in the blanks. Then, answer the questions. Consult with your dictionary for the difficult words.

The Guy Next DoorMeggin Cabot

A novel normally consists of chapters. But you will find none in this book. Why? Because it consists of e-mails. Yep, you read me right, they are a bunch of e-mails from people who keep in touch with each other and talk about all kinds of seemingly unrelated things, which somehow share a common thread, in a humorous way.

Melissa Fuller is a journalist working for the New York Journal. From her and her friend’s e-mails, we get the impression that Melissa is an attractive, intelligent, red-haired single girl with a kind heart toward her friends and animals. After an accident and some arrangements, she ends up living next door to a handsome stranger whom she believes is the nephew of her elderly neigbor. Actually, he is not what he admits he is. But before she knows it, they fall in love with each other. Will she be able to accept the fact that the gorgeous guy next door has been lying to her even though they both share the same feelings?

Meggin Cabot alias Meggin Patricia Cabot is also the writer of the successful teenage series The Princess’ Diaries. The Guy Next Door is her debut in the genre of contemporary adult novel. It discusses relationships, working environments, and solving a mystery from many people’s different point of view. Just like her other books, The Guy Next Door is amusing, refreshing, and enlightening altogether. I wonder what this and other writers will do next, create a novel out of cluster of SMS’s, perhaps? THAT would be cool. Ully
