Carbon tetrachloride is a colorless and inflammable liquid that can be produced by combining carbon disulfide and chlorine. This compound is widely used in industry today because of its effectiveness as a solvent as well as its use in the production of propellants.
Despite its widespread use in industry, carbon tetrachloride has been banned for home use. In the past, carbon tetrachloride was a common ingredient in cleaning compounds that were used throughout the home, but it was found to be dangerous: when heated, it changes into a poisonous gas that can cause severe illness and even death if it is inhaled.

Questions 17 – 23
The locations of stars in the sky relative to one another, do not appear to the naked eye to change, and as a result stars are often considered to be fixed in position. Many unaware stargazers falsely assume that each star has its own permanent home in the nighttime sky.
In reality, though, stars are always moving, but because of the tremendous distances between stars themselves and from stars to Earth, the changes are barely perceptible here. An example of a rather fast-moving star demonstrate why this misconception prevails; it takes approximately 200 years for a relatively rapid star like Bernard’s star to move a distance in the skies equal to the diameter of the earth’s moon. When the apparently negligible movement of the stars is contrasted with the movement of the planets, the stars are seemingly unmoving.
17. Which of the following is the best title for this passage?
1. What the Eye Can See in the Sky

Answer : 3. unassisted vision
19. According to the passage, the distance between the stars and Earth are
1. barely perceptible
2. huge
3. fixed
4. moderate
Answer : 2. huge
20. The word “perceptible” in line 5 is closest in meaning to which of the following
1. Noticeble
2. Persuasive
3. Conceivable
4. Astonishing
Answer : 3. conceivable
21. In line 6, a “misconception” is closest in meaning to a(n)
1. idea
2. proven fact
3. erroneous belief
4. theory
Answer : 3. erroneous belief
22. The passage states that in 200 years Bernard’s star can move
1. around Earths’s moon

Informative Speech
Cirebon is City of Shrimps. Cirebon city is a nice and beautiful city in the North Coast of java Island. Close to the border of West Java and central Java. The city lies on Jalur Pantura (Pantai Utara Jawa). Its name is often said to be derived from the Sundanese words of "Cai" (or river) and "Rebon" (or "shrimp").
Cirebon had many traditional culture such as Topeng dance, Batik Cirebonan, Sintren, and Tarling. Many traditional food can you find there, such as Empal gentong, Docang, Tahu Gejrot(fried tofu with red sugar topping), Nasi Jamblang(bowls of dishes to accompany rice served on teak leaves), Nasi Lengko (vegetarian rice with tofu and beansprout), Intip (rice snack), Kerupuk Mlarat(Chips made of tapioca flour and fried in hot sand (not oil)) and then Emping (Padi Oat Crackers).
Cirebon has four kratons such as, kratons Kasepuhan, kratons kanoman, kratons kacirebonan, kratons kaprabonan.
The most thing I like in Cirebon is, wherever you go, you can easily find a food corner,Started from the cheapest till the most expensive one. And if you wanna go somewhere by public transportation, it’s easy for you to get them. Cirebon which always crowded with ‘an gkot and becak’ will work again.
