Alligators These large reptiles which are unable to swim in salt-water habitats (such as mangrove habitats) thrive in slow-moving water. With the largest recorded alligator being 1,011.5 pounds, these creatures have the ability to bite down with the force of almost 3,000 pounds per inch. Along with this, they have about 75 teeth in their mouth at any one time, and these are replaced when they get worn down. In addition to this, while they may be greatly known as carnivorous, meat is not the only food source they rely in. Alligators also enjoy eating fruits. 14 Amazing Facts About Alligators. Treehugger.

19 © Penerbit Mahir Sdn. Bhd. (183897-P) English Form 4 Unit 2 Reading Comprehension Questions 1 to 8 You are going to read an article. For questions 1 to 8, choose the correct answer (A, B, C or D). In addition to the diffi culties of growing up in poverty, Yona was born with a disease which makes his white skin stand out in stark contrast to his friends in Tanzania. It causes severe medical issues, but worst of all, it causes him to live in fear for his life. People with albinism lack an enzyme necessary for producing melanin. It renders those aff ected mostly devoid of pigment in their skin, hair and eyes. Albinism comes with many medical complications and in Tanzania, it comes with a terror that you may be the victim of violence – having one of your limbs hacked off by a witch doctor. Since 2000, a string of murders has left 72 Tanzanians with albinism dead and several others maimed. The killings are believed to have been motivated by a lucrative trade in albino body parts; some Africans believe these body parts possess magical powers to bring wealth and good luck. The potions can be sold for thousands of dollars on the black market. The Tanzanian government has taken action in the wake of the slaughters, opening shelters for children with the condition and commissioning a task force to investigate the killings. This was the uncertain future that Yona was born into. At birth, his parents immediately knew something was wrong. Yona was their third child and he looked nothing like his two elder siblings. After an anxious meeting at the local hospital, it was confi rmed he had albinism. A family already vulnerable because of poverty, they now felt the social stigma attached to their young son’s condition. People whispered about him when they walked down the street, rumours spread about his conception; that his mother must have had relations with a spirit, and the family feared being the target of violence. Yona’s father, Mosses Ezekiel Manzi, works as a small business trader, selling plastics and nylon to earn a living. His mother is a peasant farmer who grows vegetables to sell. Their combined income of around A$6.08 per day has never been enough to support their family of eight. Not only did they have fi ve children of their own, they had also taken in their young niece, Isabella. When Yona was fi ve, his life took a dramatic turn when he was registered into Compassion’s program. Being part of the Compassion project provided an environment of love, care and protection, which allowed this shy boy’s confi dence and trust in people to grow. “Before I joined Compassion I had not enrolled in any school. My parents could not aff ord to send all of us to school at the same time because of school fees. If there was a need for one child to wait, I was always the victim because I had not been enrolled,” Yona said. “But after I was registered in the Compassion program, I started nursery school. Since then, I have been supported in many ways. I get school education supplies, such as textbooks, and I have been given an opportunity to study at a competent school. These could not have been possible without support I have received. Also, my parents have been working hard and improving our home environment, making it easier for me to learn.” While Yona’s life improved with the opportunity for an education, the medical issues associated with albinism made everyday tasks hard. “Sometimes I walked to and from school when my parents were not able to aff ord transport fees for me. I faced sunburn because of my skin, especially during hot seasons, and my sight in the sun is much disturbed,” says Yona. Yona has impaired vision and suff ers rapid eye movement, common for people with albinism. For him, Compassion’s medical fund has become a lifeline when his family can’t aff ord the cost of medicines and treatment. However, he has overcome every obstacle thrown at him, even the jeering from his classmates. “My fellow students and people nicknamed me ‘mzungu’ meaning ‘white man.’ It was a bit hard for me to accept such comments or jokes, but now I am used to them and their jokes are diminishing slowly as they see my determination and what I have been able to achieve,” Yona says. His hard work paid off – Yona was one of the best students in his school. In fact, his scores earned him a position among the students awarded fi rst division. With these results, Yona is optimistic he can achieve his dream for the future. “From the very beginning when I started secondary school education, I fell in love with science subjects. My plans are to got to university and become a chemical engineer,” says Yona, smiling.

Benefi ts of Teen Travel Both parents and teens alike often fi nd the idea of teenagers travelling abroad daunting and sometimes even scary! It’s easy to let these fears hold us back and prevent us from seeing all of the awesome ways that overseas teen travel can transform teens into amazing young people. Travel abroad provides teens of all ages with invaluable experiences that will last a lifetime. Travelling is important for youth because it teaches meaningful life skills, provides an opportunity to meet new people, facilitates cultural appreciation on a deeper level, and teaches the ability to adapt to new environments. Travel is a fantastic way of gaining these unique experiences, and developing youth into more well-rounded citizens, all while having fun along the way! Here are fi ve reasons why travelling is important for youth and the benefi ts of overseas travel for teens: 1. Learn how to save and budget money This is such a basic principle of life that everyone starts to learn from a young age, but nothing shows true deferred gratifi cation like saving up all school year for an epic trip throughout Europe that you can proudly say that you paid for partially or even all on your own. And once on that trip, it feels even better to be able to budget your money accordingly so that you can enjoy the little things like gelato on a hot day in Rome or bring back lavender soaps from France for your mum at the end of your trip. 2. Ability to make an itinerary Whether you are joining an existing itinerary or planning your own from scratch, nothing is ever completely set in stone. Everyone will learn this when travelling abroad. No exceptions! Itineraries are just as alive as the places that you will visit and this will refl ect upon your travels no matter where you venture next. Maybe you are planning an epic trip to Thailand or joining up with other teen travellers in Peru, but no matter where you go, embrace the power to make and change your itinerary so that you can have the best experience possible. 3. Problem-solving skills Dealing with problems like pouring rain when the forecast predicted sun for your bike tour or your sandal breaking as you descend the Acropolis will make you a savvy problem-solver as you work through your predicaments proactively and positively rather than allowing them to spoil your trip. 4. Become an independent and responsible young person When you’re overseas with family and friends, it’s super easy to follow their lead and let others take care of things like tickets, transportation, meals and itineraries. The list goes on and on. Travelling on your own or with a group without the familiarity of people from home motivates you to take more responsibility for your own actions. This means that you need to show up prepared, make the eff ort to participate, and be accountable throughout the trip. 5. Break stereotypes and experience new cultures It is a sad truth that people are so quick to believe stereotypes about other countries and their cultures, especially the negative ones. This is true of Americans and their views of overseas destinations and unfortunately, other countries can have negative perceptions of Americans. When you travel overseas, you have the opportunity to break this often vicious cycle. Show the people of London that Americans aren’t loud or obnoxious, but are curious and excited about life! Show the people of Japan that you are polite and eager to learn about their culture. Conversely, teach your friends and family back home about the people and their cultures that you have learned about. Instil in them the same curiosity about diff erences and appreciation of similarities across cultures that they might have never thought to consider. Keep an open mind and an open heart and never stop sharing everything that it means to be a global citizen. (Source:https://www.travelforteens.com/blog/the-best-benefi ts-of-overseas-teen-travel/)
