CHAPTER V: CONCLUSION AND SUGGESTION
B. Suggestion
Based on the conclusion above, it is suggested that in reading comprehension and in translation ability are:
1. Students of Sixth Semester in English Education Department
There were the dominant mistakes in finding main idea and specific information in reading and accuracy in translation. The students who still low in reading and translation are suggested to be more concentrated in learning English. Reading and learning more about translation and reading, do more practice in both of them.
2. Translation Lecturer
The average score of translation ability and reading comprehension was good and fairly good. Therefore, the researcher hopes the result of this research can be used as a reference which can be implied by the lecturer to increase the students‟ translation ability.
3. Others Researcher
The researcher hopes that the result of the research can be an additional reference to the following research for further research, especially in translation and reading comprehension.

The following text is for questions 1 until 6
We believe the Earth is about 4.6 billion years old. At percent, we are forced to look to other bodies in the solar system for hints as to what the early history of the Earth was like. Studies of our moon, Mercury, Mars, and the large satellites of Jupiter and Saturn have provided ample evidence that all these large celestial bodies had formed. This same bombardment must have affected Earth as well.
The lunar record indicates that the rate of impacts decreased to its present low level about 4 billion years ago. On Earth, subsequent erosion and crustal motions have obliterated the craters that must have formed during this epoch.
Scientists estimate the Earth‟s age by measuring the ratios of various radioactive elements in rocks. The oldest Earth‟s rocks tested thus far are about 3 1/3 billion years old, but no one knows whether these are oldest rocks on Earth.
Tests on rocks from the moon and on meteorites show that these are about 4.6 billion years old. Scientists believe that this is the true age of the solar system and probably the true age of the Earth.
(Source : www.grammar.co.id)

The following text is for question 9
Before clocks were made, people kept track of time by other means. In ancient Egypt, people used a water clock. Water dripped slowly from one clay pot into another. People measured time according to how long it took one pot to empty and the other one to fill. Candle clocks were common during the Middle Ages. As such, when a candle burned, marks on its side showed about how much time had passed. A final ancient way to measure time was the sundial, which used the movement of the sun across the sky. The shadows moving across the face of the sundial showed the current time.
9. What is the main Idea?
a. As such, when a candle burned, marks on its side showed about how much time had passed.
b. Before clocks were made, people kept track by other means.
c. In ancient Egypt, people used a water clock.
d. All the above.
The following text is for questions 10 until 14
The locations of stars in the sky relative to one another do not appear to the naked
eye to change, and as a result stars are often considered to be fixed in position.
Many unaware stargazers falsely assume that each star has its own permanent home in the nighttime sky.
In reality, though, stars are always moving, but because of the tremendous distances between stars themselves and from stars to Earth, the changes are barely perceptible here. An example of a rather fast-moving star demonstrates why this misconception prevails; it takes approximately 200 years for a relatively rapid star like Bernard's star to move a distance in the skies equal to the diameter of the earth's moon. When the apparently negligible movement of the stars is contrasted with the movement of the planets, the stars are seemingly unmoving.
10. Which of the following is the best title for this passage?
a. What the eye can see in the sky b. Bernard's star
c. Planetary Movement d. The Ever moving stars
11. The expression "naked eye" in line 1 most probably refers to…
a. a telescope
b. a scientific method for observing stars c. unassisted vision
d. a camera with a powerful lens
12. According to the passage, the distances between the stars and Earth are…
a. barely perceptible b. huge
c. fixed d. moderate
13. The word "negligible" in line 8 could most easily be replaced by…
a. negative b. insignificant c. rapid
d. distant
14. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?
a. Stars do not appear to the eye to move.
b. the large distances between stars and the earth tend to magnify movement to the eye
c. Bernard's star moves quickly in comparison with other stars d. although stars move, they seem to be fixed
15. The coming decades will likely see more intense clustering of job, innovation, and productivity in a smaller number of bigger cities and city regions.
The word “Intense” most nearly means…
a. Emotional b. Concentrated c. Brilliant d. Determined
16. When the Pilgrims landed in what is now Massachusetts, they were afraid that the Indians would attack them. However, the Indians that they encountered were a peaceful and generous tribe.
What does "encountered" mean?
a. met b. fought c. hid from d. ignored
The following text is for question 17
The railroad was not the first institution to impose regularity on society, or to draw attention to the importance of precise timekeeping. For as long as merchants have set out their wares at daybreak and communal festivities have been celebrated, people have been in rough agreement with their neighbors as to the time of day. The value of this tradition is today more apparent than ever. Were it not for public acceptance of a single yardstick of time, social life would be unbearably chaotic: the massive daily transfers of goods, services, and
information would proceed in fits and starts; the very fabric of modern society would begin to unravel.
17. What is the main idea of the passage?
a. In modern society we must make more time for our neighbors.
b. The traditions of society are timeless.
c. An accepted way of measuring time is essential for the smooth functioning of society.
d. Society judges people by the times at which they conduct certain activities.
The following text is for question 18
Though fun to watch, chimpanzees should not be kept as pets. They are dangerously stronger that any NFL lineman. Adult chimps weigh only 100 to 160 pounds, but have been measured pulling six to nine times their own weight with one hand. Thus, to match the strength of an average chimp, a human being would have to be able to register a two-handed pull of about a ton it takes a very strong man to pull a quarter of that. Combined with this strength is the fact that a chimp is capable of losing its temper for reasons known only to the chimp. Chimps signal their feelings with subtle cues of behavior that aren't apparent to most humans. It is quite possible for a chimp to be on the verge of violence while its owner sits unaware or even unknowingly continuous to provoke. Furthermore, it's not wise to keep a cute young chimp and release it into the wild when it becomes dangerous. Wild-raised chimps will routinely gang up on and kill those raised in captivity.
18. The main idea of this passage is that….
a. Chimpanzees are not as reliable as dogs.
b. Chimpanzees should not be kept as pets for a variety of reasons.
c. Keeping chimpanzees as pets and then releasing them into the wild is a danger to the pet chimpanzee.
d. No man is as strong as a chimpanzee.
19. I'm in a quandary about which friend's birthday party to attend this weekend.
What does the word "quandary" mean?
a. dilemma b. anxiety c. surprise d. superiority
20. Sarah spilled her beverage all over the floor of the restaurant, causing Olivia to slip.
What does the word beverage mean in this sentence?
a. a drink b. food c. a napkin d. salt and pepper

KEY ANSWER OF TRANSLATION
Kami percaya bahwa Bumi berusia sekitar 4,6 miliar tahun. Pada persen kita dipaksa untuk melihat benda-benda lain di tata surya untuk petunjuk seperti apa sejarah awal Bumi itu. Penelitian terhadap bulan kita, Merkurius, Mars, dan satelit besar Yupiter dan Saturnus telah memberikan banyak bukti bahwa semua benda langit yang besar ini telah terbentuk. Pengeboman yang sama ini pasti juga mempengaruhi Bumi. Catatan bulan menunjukkan bahwa tingkat dampak menurun ke tingkat terendah saat ini sekitar 4 miliar tahun yang lalu. Di Bumi, erosi berikutnya dan gerakan kerak telah melenyapkan kawah yang pasti terbentuk selama ini.
Para ilmuwan memperkirakan usia Bumi dengan mengukur rasio berbagai unsur radioaktif dalam batuan. Batuan tertua di Bumi yang diuji sejauh ini sekitar 3 1/3 miliar tahun. Tetapi tidak ada yang tahu apakah ini adalah batu tertua di Bumi. Tes di bebatuan membentuk bulan dan pada meteorit menunjukkan bahwa ini berumur sekitar 4,6 miliar tahun. Para ilmuwan percaya bahwa ini adalah usia dari tata surya yang sebenarnya dan mungkin usia Bumi sebenarnya.
