Human beings have lived on earth for tens of
thousands of years, and during most of that time
their numbers were small. Before agriculture was
developed about 10.000 years ago, the death rate
was high, partly because of a limited food supply.
But after people began to grow crops and raise
animals for food, the death rate fell. And the
population of the world slowly grew.
The population of the world is not spread
evenly over the earth. The average number of
people who live in an area or territory is called the
population density. The most crowded continents
are Asia and Europe. Cities are more densely
populated than rural areas.
Food and population cannot be separated. An
adequate supply of food is one of the human
needs. Overcrowding has a bad effect on life.
a main cause of famine today is drought - a
long period without rainfall. Crops wither and die,
and animals starve. Drought is almost impossible
to control. In recent years, famine has occurred in
several African countries, including some in
northeaster Africa.
More governments are helping families to
understand the problems of population density.
They give “family planning” advice to families that
request it. Such families can plan to have the
number of children they want.

Animals are almost extinct if their numbers
are getting smaller. It means more animals die
and become rare. One of the rare animals is the
rhinoceros. A rhinoceros is a large, heavy
mammal with a thick skin. The word rhinoceros is
derived from Greek words. Rhinos means nose
and ceros means horn. Some rhinoceroses have
two horn and others have one horn. These horns
are not part of the bony structure of the head.
They don’t have any bony core. They are an
outgrowth of the skin.
Rhinoceroses are herbivorous. They eat grass
and other plants. They live in grassy areas or in
jungles. Rhinoceroses spend most of their time in
water. They usually line alone, except during the
breeding season.
One of these rare rhinoceroses is the Javan
rhinoceros. The Javan rhinoceros, rhinoceros
sondaicus, is comparatively small and slender. It’s
about 1.7 metres high. males have a single horn
up to 10 inches (25 cm) in length. Females are
usually hornless.
Formely the Javan rhinoceros lived in
Myanmar, Indochina, the Malay Peninsula, Java,
and Sumatra. It’s now relatively scarce. People
hunted them for their horns. We only find them in
Ujungkulon, West Java now.
If we don’t want Javan rhinoceroses to be
extinct, we must protect them. We must preserve
their habitat. The law prohibits those who hunt
them.

Collecting Stamps

Life will be more interesting if we have a

hobby. We can enjoy our spare time better. I
myself like to collect stamps. I have been doing
this since I was in the elementary school. I got
many stamps from my Uncle Harry. a pilot, who
likes to send me postcards or letters from all
countries he has visited.
My friends admire my collections very much.
Then I become a member of stamp collectors club.
We exchange stamps with one another. We also
have pen-friends who have the same hobby. They
are from all over Indonesia and some are from
foreign countries. Of course I have to write my
letters in English.
Now I have a more complete collection, and
more friends.
Don’t you see that it is useful and very
interesting? We can choose many kinds of
hobbies, outdoors as well as indoors. Outdoor
hobbies among others are : fishing, camping,
hiking.

INDONESIAN LIFE
The Indonesian society consists of rural and
urban society. Rural society lives in villages. They
usually make their livings by farming. Some make
their livings by working in home industries. Home
industries are usually small-scale industries, so
they don’t need many workers.
There are many kinds of jobs people can do in
cities. Cities are the center of big industries. Most
government offices are also centered in cities.
Therefore, most people in the village want to
move to cities.
The villagers move to cities in great numbers
to get jobs. Some get what they want, but most of
them don’t. They who have skills or good
education can become government civil servants
of employees of private enterprises. The unskilled
and uneducated can only work in informal sectors,
such as, food sellers, porters, and house servants.
As the cities are densely populated, the
demand for daily needs increases sharply. This
condition motivates the growth of trade and new
merchants. Life in city is a competition. It is a hard
life. Everyone must work to earn a living.
37. How do the villagers make their living? By ....
a. farming or working in home
industries
b. becoming government civil servants
c. enjoying the life in the villages

enterprises

industries so they don’t need many workers”.
