19. Tombs with Mummy Found in Egypt
CAIRO – Archaeologists have unearthed 57 ancient Egyptian tombs, most of which hold an ornately painted wooden sarcophagus with a mummy inside, Egypt’s Supreme Council
of Antiquities said Sunday. The oldest tombs date back to around 2750 B.C., during the period of Egypt’s first and second dynasties, the council said in a statement. Twelve of the
tombs belong the 18th Dynasty, which ruled Egypt during the second millennium B.C. The 18th Dynasty includes such well-known pharaohs as Tutankhamun, Akhenaten and
Queen Hatshepsut. The discovery throws new light on Egypt’s ancient religions, the council said.
20. Pros and Cons on anti-smoking law The pros and cons on anti-smoking law or ”smoking is haram” is still being discussed in
our country. The issue is not new. It is only a small part of the anti-smoking wave which has been promoted for more than 50 years. Arguments for anti-smoking are abundant.
Some of them such as: smoking is a slow suicide and makes other people passive smokers who have same impacts in term of health. Furthermore smoking invites death
and impotence, causing tuberculosis, lung damage, stomach injury, liver and heart damage and cancer. In social interaction, cigarettes make smoker smelly, weak, thin and
poor. Moreover, cigarette smoke contains around 4,000 chemicals causing massive air pollution. However, smokers have a self-defense argument. They say that smoking helps
thinking, spurs creativity, calms the nerves, eliminates fatigue and grief, is social, and invites chumminess and healthy emotions. Criticizing regulations, smokers argue that the
anti-smoking law is unjust, inhumane, violates privacy, restricts expression and is discriminatory. The anti-smoking regulation is siding with one and denying the other at the
same time. The two sides are equally strong. It is impossible to disregard either. Is smoking or not smoking a matter of personal choice? Adapted from The Jakarta Post.
21. Meteors
Meteors are the short, white trails across the sky that we call “shooting stars.” A meteor shower is a celestial event in which a number of meteors are observed to radiate from one
point in the night sky. Meteors are caused by small pea-sized pieces of inter-planetary dust that burn up when they slam into the Earth’s atmosphere at high speeds.
Meteor showers happen when Earth passes through the orbital path of a comet that left a lot of dust behind. Earth plows through the dust, and the particles form meteors as they hit
the atmosphere. Occasionally a small rock may fall through the atmosphere, causing an extremely bright and colorful streak across the sky called a fireball. Sometimes fireball
rocks are not completely vaporized, and they impact Earth’s surface. A rock that fell from space this way is called a meteorite.

22. Goat Jumping into Deep Hole
Two men were walking through the woods and come across a very big deep hole. Wow...that looks deep. One replied, Sure does... toss a few pebbles in there and we will
see how deep this hole is. Then they pick up a few pebbles and throw them in and wait... no noise Geeez. That is really deep... here. Throw one of these great big rocks down
there. Those should make a noise. After that, they pick up a couple football-sized rocks and toss them into the hole and wait... and wait but no noise they heard. Wow. They were
really impressed with how deep hole it was. They look at each other in amazement. One gets a determined look on his face and says, Hey...over here in the weeds, theres a
railroad tie. Help me carry it over here. When we toss that sucker in this hole, its must make some noise. The two men drag the heavy tie over to the hole and heave it in. But,
not a sound comes from the hole. Suddenly, out of the nearby woods, a goat appears, running like the wind. It rushes toward the two men, then, right past them, running as fast
as its legs will carry it. Suddenly it leaps in the air and into the hole. The goat disappeared into the deep hole.
The two men are astonished with what theyve just seen. How could a goat jump into the hole? Then, not long after that, out of the woods, comes a farmer. He seemed to seek
something and asked to the two men, Hey two guys... have you seen my goat out here? Feeling amazing with what they saw of a goat jumping to the hole, they answer straightly,
You bet we did Craziest thing Ive ever seen A goat came running like crazy and just jumped into this hole The farmer thought a moment and said, That could not have been
my goat because my goat was chained to a railroad tie. Then he left the two men.
