 Firefly or Lightning Bug
Photinus pyralis
The Pyralis firefly (also known as the lightning bug) is a common firefly in North
America. This partly nocturnal, luminescent beetle is the most common firefly in the
USA.
At night, the very end (the last abdominal segment) of the firefly glows a bright
yellow- green color. The firefly can control this glowing effect. The brightness of a
single firefly is 1/40 of a candle. Fireflies use their glow to attract other fireflies.
Males flash about every five seconds; females flash about every two seconds. This
firefly is harvested by the biochemical industry for the organic compunds luciferin
(which is the chemical the firefly uses for its bioluminescence).
This flying insect is about 0.75 inch (2 cm) long. It is mostly black, with two red
spots on the head cover; the wing covers and head covers are lined in yellow. Like all
insects, it has a hard exoskeleton, six jointed legs, two antennae, compound eyes, and
a body divided into three parts (the head, thorax, and abdomen).
Both the adults and the larvae are carnivores. They eat other insects (including other
fireflies), insect larvae, and snails.

When I was in Junior High School, I really loved volleyball and actively
participated in every volleyball event in my school. I practiced routinely every Monday
 and Wednesday afternoon. I belonged to the school team with other 15 students. We
really practiced hard, and we were all very good players. We used to practice in the
school field, but sometimes we went out to practice at a sports center nearby.

Our coach, Mr. Ade, was a very skillful and kind person. He was very strong too.
During the coaching, he was very disciplined. He was punctual and never came late. He
was also serious and hardworking. Therefore, he expected everybody to do the same. He
would punish anyone who came late and did not obey the team’s rules. He seemed to be
very strict. However, we did not mind it. We were even motivated and inspired by him.
We became disciplined and hardworking, too.

With Mr. Ade’s coaching, our team won a lot of tournaments in many big cities
in Indonesia. We played against other junior high schools in the national level and we
always won. Our team was called “Creative Boy” or CB for short. We had fans, too.
There were many of them. That was really cool.

This text is for questions 37 to 40.

An ant is an insect. It belongs to the family formicidae. It is social in habit and

lives together in organized colonies. Ants occur worlwide, they are especially common
in hot climates. They range in size from about 2 to 25 mm. Their colour is usually
yellow, brown, red, or black.

An ant typically has a large head and a slender oval abdomen. This abdomen is
joined to the thorax, or midsection, by a small waist. It has two sets of jaws; the outer
pair and the inner pair. The outer pair is used for carrying objects such as food and for
digging. Whereas the inner pair is used for chewing.
 There are usually three castes, or classes, within a colony. They are queens, males,
and workers. Some species of ants live in the nests of other species as parasites. In these
species, the parasite larvae are given food and nourishment by the host workers.

Most ants live in nests, which may be located in the ground or under a rock. They
may also build nests above ground from twigs, sand, or small rock. Some species live in
trees or in the hollow stems of weeds. Tailor ants in the tropics of Africa make nests of
leaves and similar materials. They use silk secreted by the larvae to hold the leaves
together. Dolichoderus, another genus of ants, glues together bits of animal feces for its
nests.
