 The following text is for questions 40 to 42.

Flies are one of the biggest groups of insects, common nearly everywhere. There are over
90,000 species. Flies include bluebottles, black flies, gnats, horseflies, midges, mosquitoes, and
tsetse flies.
Unlike other insects, flies have only one pair of real wings. The hind wings are small
stumps called halteres which help a fly balance in flight. Flies suck up their food, typically sap
from rotting plants and fruit. Houseflies often suck liquids from manure. Blowflies drink from
rotting meat. The larva or young of flies are called maggots, and they are tiny, white, wriggling
tube shapes.
A housefly flies at over 7 km/h, equal to flying 350,000 times its own length in an hour. If
a jumbo jet flew at the same speed relative to its length for an hour, it would get almost right
around the world. Alaska flies can stand being frozen at temperatures of -60°C and still survive.
Many species of flies are carries of dangerous disease. When a fly bites or makes contact,
it can infect people with some of the germs it carries, especially the flies that suck blood.
Mosquitoes spread malaria, and tsetse flies spread sleeping sickness.

A Biography of An Internet Enterpreneur

Jan Koum is an American internet enterpreneur and computer engineer. He is the CEO and
co-founder with Brian Acton of Whatsapp, a mobile messaging application which was acquired
by Facebook Inc. in February 2014 for US $ 19 Billion.
Koum was born in Kylv, Ukraine on February 24, 1976. He is a Jewish. He grew up in
Fativ, outside Kylv, and moved with his mother and grandmother to Mountain View, California
in 1992, where a social support program helped the family to get a small two- bedroom
apartment, at the age of 16. His father had intended to join the family later, but finally remained
in Ukraine. At first Koum’s mother worked as a babysitter, while he himself worked as a cleaner
at a grocery. By the age of 18, he became interested in programming. He enrolled at San Jose
State University and simultaneously worked at Ernst and Young as security tester.
In 1997, Jan Koum was hired by Yahoo as an infrastructure engineer, shortly after he met
Brian Acton while working at Ernst & Young as a security tester. Over the next nine years, they
worked at Yahoo. In September 2007 Koum and Acton left Yahoo and took a year off, traveling
around South America and playing ultimate frisbee. Both applied and failed to work at
Facebook. In January 2009, he bought an iPhone and realized that the then-seven-month-old
App Store was about to spawn a whole new industry of apps. He visited his friend Alex Fishman
and the two talked for hours about Koum’s idea for an app over tea at Fishman’s kitchen counter.
Koum almost immediately chose the name WhatsApp because it sounded like “ what’s up “, and
a week later on his birthday, Feb 24, 2009, he incorporated WhatsApp Inc. in California.

PRA US BAHASA INGGRIS (WAJIB) TP. 2019/2020 15

 WhatsApp became popular in just a small amount of time, and this caught Facebook’s
attention Facebook’s founder, Mark Zuckerberg first contacted Koum in the spring 2012. The
two began meeting at a coffee shop in Los Altos, California, then began a series of dinners and
walked the hills above Silicon Valley.
On February 9, Zuckerberg asked Koum to have dinner at his home, and formally proposed
Koum a deal to join the Facebook board.
His mother died in 2000 of cancer in the United States, while his father died in Ukraine in
1997.
In 2014, he entered the Forbest list of the 400 richest Americans at position 62, with an
estimated worth of more than seven and half billion dollars. He was the highest-ranked
newcomer to the list that year.
