WHAT IS
THUNDER?
Thunder sounds like an explosion. Lightning
causes thunder. The sound comes from air that suddenly gets very hot.
A bolt of lightning can make the
air around it as hot as 18,000° Fahrenheit (10,000° Celsius). That’s hotter
than the surface of the Sun! The hot air rushes away from the lightning bolt.
The air rushing away makes the loud sound of thunder.
You often hear the thunder after
you see a bolt of lightning. This is because sound travels slower than light.
The farther away the lightning is, the longer it takes for you to hear the thunder.
You can tell how far away the lightning is. You can count the seconds between
the lightning and the sound of the thunder it makes. Sound travels about 1 mile
(about 1.6 kilometers) every 5 seconds. If you count slowly to 5 and hear
thunder, the lightning bolt was about 1 mile away. If you count to 15 before
you hear thunder, the lightning bolt was 3 miles away.

Andreas was a student of the University of Indonesia. Like many other students, he did not have much money because his grant was just enough to live on.
Last year, during the semester holiday, he decided to go to Surabaya. He wanted to visit some friends there. Unfortunately, he could not afford a bus ticket, and even the train was too expensive. He, therefore, decided to hitchhike. He caught a bus to reach the highway and waited. It was a cold, rainy December day. While he was waiting, he got soaked to the skin.
After waiting for hours, he finally got a lift from a truck driver, who was going to Surabaya. Andreas felt extremely relieved. The truck driver, a reasonably well-dressed man of around 35 seemed friendly. He and Andreas talked a lot.
Suddenly, as they were driving along the highway, a police car raced past them and made them stop. They were taken to the police station because the police suspected that the truck was carrying stolen goods.

There are many kinds of cactus plants, but most grow in deserts and other dry places. These plants have adaptations, or special features, that let them live in places where there is little water.
Imagine only having to take one big drink of water two or three times a year. That’s all the water a cactus plant needs. The cactus is made up mostly of stems and roots. Most kinds of cactus have no leaves or leaves that are very small. The cactus is made for storing water, and water can escape through leaves.
The roots of a cactus spread out close to the surface of the ground. When it rains, the roots soak up as much water as possible. Cactus plants do not grow close to one another. Each plant needs lots of room to collect water. The stem of the cactus stores the water for later use.

possible.” (paragraph 3)
