Global Warming: Causes and Effects

Earth temperature has been rising at the rate of 1 degree Fahrenheit in the last 50 years.

The past 50 years of warming has been attributed to human activities. During the last

100 years, global sea levels have risen between 4 – 8 inches.

Greenhouse gasesthat rise into the

atmosphere trap the

sun’s energy and

prevent heat from

escaping. These are

caused by large scale

use of fuels in

vehicles and

factories.

Local changes include increasingly hot weather and thunderstorms.

Damaging storms, droughts and other weather-related phenomenon cause an

increase in economic and health problems.

as coal, natural gas

and oil products

produces

Myths and Facts about DENGUE

Myth 1: Aedes mosquitoes bite only at night, so I need only worry about protecting my

family from the dengue carrier during the later part of the day.

Fact:

Aedes mosquitoes can bite you and your family any time of the day. The

mosquitoes are activated by changes in light intensity, which makes them

particularly bloodthirsty at dawn and dusk. But all-day protection is still the best,

especially for babies or adults who are bedridden. Mosquito netting, aerosols,

mats, coils, liquid vapourisers or insect repellent creams and lotions should beused for such people to minimise the risk of being bitten by the Aedes mosquito.

Myth 2: If I keep my house clean and dust-free, I will not have any mosquitoes.

Fact:Mosquitoes are not like household pests such as flies and cockroaches that thrive

on dirt. The Aedes mosquitoes are particularly fussy about cleanliness. Given the

choice between dirty and clean water, it will go for the latter. Thus, your house

may be spotless and still harbour Aedes larvae.

To be safe, keep changing the water in your vases, potted plant saucers

and refrigerator trays every five days. Keep a lid on any long-term water storage

containers when not in use. Clean the sides or your water containers regularly to

wash away the eggs. It you cannot change the water, use larvicides to keep your

vessels Aedes larva-free.

Myth 3: Dengue is a disease that affects mainly children.

Fact:

It used to be thought that dengue was primarily a health hazard for children. Butthe Aedes mosquito is just as likely to bite an adult as a child. In fact, everyone

is at risk.

Myth 4: Once I've had dengue, I cannot get it again as I’m immune to disease .

Fact:If your have dengue, your body will produce antibodies against the virus. These

antibodies stay with you for about a year but if you are bitten by the infected

mosquito during this time, you can still come down with the fever.

In fact, some doctors believe if you are bitten again while you still havethe antibodies, you are likely to develop the more serious dengue haemorrhagic

fever. However, this is still a point of debate.

(Taken from Sunday Star , November 15, 1998)

Being a parent is very challenging. This is because nowadays, some

children have learning disabilities. They have difficulty reading and

understanding what is required of them. As a result, many do badly in their school

examinations. Worst of all, some teachers label the students as ‘stupid’.

There are also children with dyslexia. They find it hard to look at a page

of words. They see them as distorted shapes and symbols or even as moving

objects. There are others who become too overwhelmed by the words in a page!

Another common learning disability is dyscalculia. It is actually

difficulties with mathematics in counting, recognizing arithmetic symbols,aligning numbers during addition, multiplication and competency in addition,

subtraction, multiplication and division. These children normally have slow

mental processing speed.

Parents must be aware that the environment plays an important part in

inculcating the learning abilities of a child. Poor teaching methods, harsh

childcare, loneliness, the sense of not belonging to the school, a non-conducive

home environment, lack of encouragement and unrealistic parental expectations

can cause a child to face difficulties in learning.

Read the passage below. Then answer the questions that follow.

Every year, during the rainy season, it rains heavily. Consequently, floods

occur in various parts of the country. Although I have read about it, I have never

experienced it until this year. Last month, the rains poured heavily for many days.

People were unable to go to work. Most of the shops were closed. Even the

schools and government offices were closed. The winds blew continuously and

many people, especially children, began to get sick. But the rains continued to

fall.

Then the worst thing happened. The river overflowed the embankment and

there were floods everywhere in my town. In some areas the water was about

three metres high. Parts of the town looked like the sea and the buildings lookedlike islands.

People began to evacuate using any means they could. Some walked

through the water, many used rafts or anything that would float to carry their

belongings. Strangely enough, there were many people who enjoyed playing and

swimming in the muddy water. However, I was too afraid and refused to go near

the water. My uncle had a house high up on a hill, so my family stayed with him.

Then, one morning, the rains suddenly stopped and the sun appeared.

Everyone was overjoyed. But it took another week for the flood waters to go

down. When we went home we were shocked to see the condition of our house. It

was full of mud and stank. Everything, including all the furniture, had been

ruined. My parents were devastated.It took a long time before everything was back to normal. Indeed, I shall

never forget what I experienced during this terrible flood.

____________________________________________________________________________

The Police Superintendent,

Kulim Police Station,

09000 Kulim,

Kedah. 22 FEBRUARY 2012

Dear Sir,

Be Severe With Road Bullies

I would like to complain about a serious problem that has been plaguing the residents of

Kulim lately. It seems like a free-for-all on the roads in Kulim everyday. In the town, it is

common to see a motorist or a motorcyclist going against traffic flow or beating the red light.

It can be quite frightening if the offender is heading towards you. If one is not alert while

driving, both parties can end up in a fatal accident. When confronted, these road bullies can

become extremely aggressive.

2. Many of them make illegal u-turns, ignore ‘No Entry’ signs, go against traffic flow andsome even dare to beat the traffic lights especially during peak hours when the traffic is heavy.

3. The police should put up a road safety campaign, to nab all those inconsiderate and reckless

motorists in town. They must be fined heavily if caught on the spot during the campaign.

Unless the motorists learn to abide by the traffic rules, there is nothing much we can do to

reduce the accident rates.

I hope the authority will look into this matter before it becomes worse. Thank you.

Yours sincerely,

Faridah(FARIDAH BT. SHARIF)

Counsellor : Tell me what’s your ambition, Salbiah

Salbiah : I want to become a doctor

Counsellor : Any particular reason why you want to become a doctor?

Salbiah : Well, being a doctor has been my ambition for a long time. I like to watch

programmes that revolve around the medical treatments and medical

discoveries

Counsellor : Oh, I see! Are you a member of the Red Crescent Society?

Salbiah : No, not the Red Crescent Society but the St. John’s Ambulance. I joined the

St. John’s Ambulance since I was in Form One. I enjoy learning First Aid,

taking part in the march past and also doing the ‘Highway Duty’ during major festivals. I also read a lot of books on First Aid.

Counsellor : Can you explain more about the ‘Highway Duty’?

Salbiah : It is a duty that we carry out in groups. Each group will be assigned to wait

at a certain spot along the highway. Usually, we are stationed at the toll plaza

along the highway. You see there is usually an increase in the rate of

accidents during the festivals when people start going back to their

hometowns. Thus, our group will provide first aid to victims while waiting for

further assistance.

Question 33-40

Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions which follow it.

If you happen to be driving along the East Coast between April and August, it would be

worth your while stop at Dungun. A night or two here would give you an educational

experience, for at this time each year the giant turtles come to lay their eggs.

What is so remarkable about the creatures? For one thing, they are among the world’s

longest living creatures come from as far away as South America, and find the same beaches

time and again. Scientists believe that these turtles manage to find the East Coast beaches

without fail because they were born there, a long time ago. Instinct guides them back.

Turtle-watching has become big business in Dungun. Neat shelters have been built for visitors to the beaches. For a ringgit or two, one can doze or drink coffee while awaiting for the

turtles to come. Visitors arrive at night and wait a few hours.

The turtles start coming in the early hours of the morning. They dig large holes in the

sand and deposit about one hundred and fifty eggs each. While laying eggs, the turtles do not

seem to care what happens around them. Visitors can touch them or even ride on their backs.

After the eggs have been laid and the holes covered up, the turtles return to the sea, only to

reappear the following year.

Until recently, most of the turtle eggs were gathered for sale. Now, however, the

government is concerned over the future of these creatures, and has imposed controls on egg-collecting. Each season, government workers carefully gather the eggs and hatch them under

safe conditions. In this way the young turtles are protected from birds, snakes and crabs. The

local people are permitted to gather the eggs only after a sufficient number has been reserved for

hatching.

Questions 33 - 40

Read the passage and answer the questions.

HANDLE WITH CAREHow does food poisoning happen?

Most cases of food poisioning are beyond the consumer’s control because there are

food which may have already been contaminated before they are bought. Many

outbreaks are due to unhygienic food handling practises by manufacturers and retail

outlets. A decrease in the number of food inspections means that these poor food

practises go unchecked. Also, food poisoning can occur when we eat at restaurants.

Again, there is little that we can do, but we can control how we handle food at home.

Safety tipsThe key to food safety is to keep hot food hot and cold food cold. Bacteria multiply in

temperatures between 6◦C and 60◦C. A single bacterium can multiply to more than

two millions in seven hours at these temperatures. Also, we should pay particular

attention to home and personal hygiene. This can ne done by always keeping our

kitchen clean and washing our hands well before handling food. For most of us, safe

food handling begins in the supermarket and continues at home.

Shopping

• Don’t buy products with damaged packaging.

• Check the use-by or best-before date

• At hawker stalls, make sure the hawker wears gloves and uses tongs to pick up

food.

• Select hot foods or refrigerated and frozen foods last, so that they don’t sit in

your trolley for too long.

• Separate hot, cooked foods from cold food in your trolley and when they are

packed at the check-out-counter.

• Don’t leace groceries sitting in your car, and if you have a long trip home, take

a cool pack for frozen foods.

At Home

• Read food packaging and labels carefully to learn how and where food should be stored.

• If you do not intend to eat meat or poultry within a few days, freeze it.

• Put a date on packaging before putting it in the freezer.

• Thaw meat, poultry and fish in the fridge.

• Cook thawed meats immediately, especially if thawed in the microwave oven.

Do not re-freeze unless the meats are cooked first.

• Raw meat, poultry and fish can contaminate other foods, so keep them

separated.

• Keep the fridge at 4◦C or less and freezer at about -18◦C

Anything that comes into contact with raw food – a knife or chopping board,even your hands – should be washed before it is used for handling cooked

food.
