Last week, Mr. Damiri's wife had an accident. Her youngest child, Yusuf, was at home when it happened.

The following text is for Questions 8 to 11.

The Earth receives heat from the sun and reflects some of this heat into space. Carbon dioxide and other

This is called the greenhouse effect.
The cutting down of forests and the burning of fuels cause the air to contain more of the gases that cause
the greenhouse effect. When this happens, the greenhouse effect increases. There is a rise in
temperature all over the world, which is called global warming.

Aloe vera is also known as the "crocodile's tongue" plant in Indonesia. It is called so because the leave is

areas and in warm climates. It takes little water to grow.
Aloe vera is a short-stemmed succulent plant growing to 60-100 cm tall. Spreading by offsets, the stems
are thick and fleshy, green to grey-green, with some varieties showing white flecks on the upper and
lower stem surfaces. Aloe vera is a multifunctional plant. It can be used to cure a wound caused by
burning. Using aloe vera to heal the wound is easy and simple. Pick the leaves, peel the rind, then

prevent rheumatism and diabetes because it contains vitamin and minerals.
