REPORT TEXT KELAS 9

Butterflies are a type of insect with colorful wings. They start as eggs. They lay their eggs on leaves. The eggs hatch into caterpillars with tabular bodies. The caterpillar eats the leaves or flowers of plants. When a caterpillar is full-sized, it goes into another stage called chrysalis. Caterpillars attach themselves to something solid before becoming a chrysalis. The caterpillar inside the chrysalis changes into a butterfly. Some butterflies make the change in one week. When the change is complete, the adult butterfly splits the chrysalis. The insect unfolds its wings until they become dry and harder. The beautiful butterfly then flies to get nectar from flowers. Most butterflies live only for one or two weeks.

Why do butterflies fly to some flowers?

• To dry their wings

• To get nectar

• To get some food

• To pump blood

Where does a caterpillar change into a butterfly?

• Inside the chrysalis

• On the leaves

• Inside the nectar

An electronic calculator is a small, portable electronic device used to perform both arithmetic operations and complex mathematical operations.

The first solid electronic calculator was created in the 1960s, building on the extensive history of tools such as the abacus (developed around 2000 BC), and the mechanical calculator (developed in the 17 century AD). It was developed in parallel with the analog computers of the day.

In addition to general purpose of calculators, there are those designed for specific markets, for example, there are scientific calculators which include trigonometric and statistical calculations. Some calculators even have the ability to do computer algebra. Graphing calculators can be used to graph functions defined on the real line, or higher dimensional Euclidean space.

According to the text, what is the usage of a calculator?

• To count numbers

• To write time

• To make notes about numbers

• To play music

What is the meaning of “extensive” in the second paragraph?

What is the main idea of paragraph 3?

• There is computer algebra

• Calculators are designed for specific markets

The sugar glider is a marsupial, just like many other Australian animals – the kangaroo, the koala, and the wombat for instance. The sugar glider is a possum. It basically lives in trees. It eats leaves and fruit. However, the Australian sugar glider has a very special skill. It can jump from tree to tree. It can also glide as well. When it jumps from one tree to another it spreads its four legs out wide, and its extra skin also spreads out and functions like a parachute.

Why can the sugar glider glide from tree to tree?

• It is very similar to the squirrels in Indonesia

• It can spread its four legs and skin out wide

• It basically lives in trees

• It eats leaves and fruit

Whales are sea-living mammals. They therefore breathe air but cannot survive or land. Some species are very large indeed and the blue whale, which can exceed 30 meter length, is the largest animal which lives on earth. Superficially, the whale looks rather like a fish, but there are important difference in its external structure; its tail consists of a pair of broad, flat horizontal paddles (the tail of a fish is vertical) and it has a single nostril on top of its breadth, broad head. The skin is smooth and shiny and beneath it lies a layer of flat (blubber). This is up to 30 meter in thickness and serves to conserve heat and body fluids.

The length of a whale is……..

• less than 30 meter

• more than 30 meter

• may be less than 20 meter

• 20 meter

An elephant is the largest and strongest animals. It is a strange looking animal with its thick legs, huge sides and backs, large hanging ears, a small tall, little eyes, long white tusks and above all it has a long noise, the trunk. The trunk is the elephant’s peculiar feature, and it has various uses. The elephant draws up water by its trunk and can squirt it all over its body like a shower bath. It can also lift leaves and puts them into its mouth. In fact the trunk serves the elephant as a long am and hand. An elephant looks very clumsy and heavy and yet it can move very quickly. The elephant is a very intelligent animal. Its intelligence combined with its great strength makes it a very useful servant to man and it can be trained to serve in various ways such as carry heavy loads, hunt for tigers and even fight.

The text tells us about….

• strange looking animal

• useful servant

• Elephant’s peculiar feature
