The postman had just taken all the letters out and had gone into the post office to see if there were any parcels. His sister, Janet, had shut her eyes and was counting up to ten when Ian noticed that the small metal door of the letter-box had been left open. Young Ian, who is only five years old found the perfect place to hide. One afternoon, they were playing in the street just outside the post office. My neighbour’s children love playing hide-and-seek as all children do, but no one expected that a game they played last week would be reported in the local newspaper.

SOAL 2: In what paragraph is the definition of iceberg found?Ĭ. SOAL 1: What does the text tell us about. Most icebergs melt completely within a few days of entering the Gulf Stream The ice is weakened, and pieces of iceberg break off and float away. When this melted water freezes at night, it expands and widens the cracks. Cracks appear and become filled with water from ice that melts during the day. Icebergs that do not ground and remain in the Labrador Current often enter the lanes used by ships crossing the Atlantic Ocean.Īn iceberg starts to break up almost as soon as it is afloat. Off Newfoundland they are caught by a warm current from the south called the Gulf Stream. On the way, most of the icebergs become grounded among the many islands and bays along the Labrador coast. Part of the way up the coast the icebergs are caught in the cold Labrador Current and carried southward toward Newfound-land They are carried by the Greenland Current, which then swings them northward around the tip of the island. Icebergs from the eastern coast of Greenland drift southward. In the spring, when the ice block is broken, a whole fleet of icebergs may sail out toward the open ocean. Icebergs pile up behind this jam of sea ice. But in winter their passageway to open the sea is often jammed with masses of frozen seawater. Just as many icebergs break off in winter as in summer. People close enough can hear the hissing of air as it escapes from bubbles bursting in the ice along the break.
Sometimes a low rumbling can be heard for hours before the ice actually breaks away. When calving occurs, a loud cracking noise fills the air. At the coast the tips of the tongues break off, plunge into the oceans, and become icebergs. Their front ends, or tongues, reach down to the sea. Glacier may be thousands of meters thick. They are formed by layers of packed snow. They are huge chunks broken off from the great masses of land ice called glaciers.Īlmost all of Greenland and Antarctica are covered by glaciers the year round. Icebergs are mountains of freshwater ice floating in the ocean. (Teks 1 untuk pertanyaan / Soal nomor 1-4)
