READING COMPREHENSION

PASTA CRISIS

A world without pasta seems inconceivable. Macaroni and cheese

loving children across

the US would howl in protest; Italy might suffer a heart attack; social
unrest could

explode in china where noodles are the main staple.

But if humans want to keep eating pasta, we will have to take much
more aggressive

action against global warming. Pasta is made from wheat, and a large
growing body of

scientific studies and real world observations suggest what wheat will be
hit especially

hard as temperatures rise and storms and drought intensify in the years
ahead.

Three grains- wheat, corn and rice account for most of the food that
humans consume.

All these are already suffering from climate change, but wheat stands to
fare the worst

in the years ahead, for it is the grain most vulnerable to high

temperatures. That spells

trouble not only for pasta but also for bread, the most basic food of all.

International agricultural research centers and the private sector have

woken up to the

fact that higher temperatures are almost inevitable and they have very
little in their

genetic toolbox to deal with them.

36. The meaning of inconceivable in the first sentence of the passage
must be_________.

a. Not imaginable

b. Cannot happen

c. Unable to conceive

d. No possibility

37. The passage emphasizes an alarming future scenario because

__________.

a. Humans will take more aggressive action against global warming

b. China, where noodles are the main staple, could have social unrest

c. Macaroni and cheese loving children across the US would protest

d. Three significant grains, especially wheat may be lost to humans.

38. This passage entitled Pasta Crisis points out with urgency that
____________.

a. Higher temperatures are almost inevitable

b. Three grains are already suffering from climate change

c. More aggressive action against global warming is needed

d. Drought will intensify in the coming years

39. Another way of expressing the idea in the sentence” it is the grain
most vulnerable

to high temperatures” is it is the grain ____________.

a. Most affected under intense heat

b. Likely to flourish when it gets warm

c. Strongly at risk in temperate areas

d. Inclined to wither if it gets very hot

40. The idea in the passage is develop using ___________.

a. Narration

b. Exposition

c. Description

d. Illustration

SOCIAL CHANGES (LIGHT)

In the light of social changes, we come to the question: What

qualities should

distinguish the educated Filipino today? I venture to suggest that the

educated Filipino

should first be distinguished by the power to do.

 The oriental excels in reflective thinking he is a philosopher. The
Occidental is a

doer; he manages things, men and affairs. The Filipino of today needs
more of this

power to translate reflection into action. I believe that we are coming

more to this

power to translate reflection into action.

right to be

considered educated unless he is prepared to take an active and useful

part in the

work, life, and progress of our country as well as in the progress of the
world.

41. what is the best paraphrase of the last paragraph in the passage?

every Filipino

educated Filipino

C. A truly educated Filipino participates actively in the work and progress

of

the country and the world as a whole.

D. To be considered educated, one has to be globally competitive and
willing to take

risks.

42. As used in the selection, what does word “conviction” mean?

A. intellectual guess C. verdict

B. strong belief D. allegiance

A. Oriental people are contemplative

B. Oriental people have the blood of great philosophers

C. They have a tendency to become philosophers

D. They think like Great Solomon.

45. What value is implied in the same passage above?

A. justice C. hyperactivity

B. courage D. active involvement

POVERTY

Studies have consistently pointed to at least the three major

immediate factors that push children to stay or live on the streets. These
are the poverty of the family, family relationship (physical or sexual
abuse) and peer influence. Poverty and peer influence when
compounded with problems and stresses in the family life such as family
break-up, child abuses and neglect, domestic violence by step parents,
underemployed parents, etc. altogether create under pressure on the
child to leave home and find solace, protection and support from the
peers on the street, eventually becoming susceptible of their influence
and lifestyle.

In Metro Manila, population growth, urbanize, and migration have

increased through the years. Children are often forced try circumstances
to help their family eke out of living or tend for themselves on the
streets. Most of the m are children of poor parents who migrated from
rural areas and hope of finding better job opportunities in the city, but
whose lack of education rendered them ill-equipped to struggle for
survival in the urban jungle and are thus curtained to a life of object
poverty.
 For the street children, life on the street is constant struggle to
overcome the various negative comments that threaten to overtake
them and destroy their hoes for survival. They work under the heat of
the sun or in the dark of the night ---- of “occupation” each --- a
legitimate --- way of survive.

CAT

A cat is a precision instrument- a perfectly engineered hunting

machine, designed for stealth, capture and self-defense. It has padded
feet that make no sound and muscle of enormous power and bulk for its
size. Its bones are attached to energy efficient angles that create a
system of springs and levers perfect for bounding, leaping and climbing.
Its claws are sharper than those of any other mammals and can be
withdrawn under sheath like pods where they escape injury and wear.
No teeth are better suited for hunting than those of the cat. Great
canines for tearing and scissors like pre molar for shearing off bits of
flesh, small enough to swallow. In the cat’s eyes, the colored fibers of the
iris respond immediately to like, changes to permit exactness of vision in
all light conditions. In the darkness of night, the iris contract to widen
the pupil shut down to a thin vertical slit. Except in white cat with blue
eyes, a cat hearing is extremely acute. Each ear has 27 muscles that allow
the cat to rotate the ear in all directions, to collect sound. The cat

YOUTH

Youth is not a time of life; it is the state of mind; it is not the matter of
rosy cheeks, red lips and supple knees; it is a matter of the will equality
of the imagination; a vigor of the emotion; it is the freshness of the deep
springs of life. Youth means the temperamental pre dominance of
courage over timidity of the appetite, for adventure over the love of
ease. This often exist in a man of 60 more than a boy of 20. Nobody
grows old merely by a number of years. We grow old by deserting our
ideals. Years may wrinkle the skin, but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles
the soul. Worry, fear, self-distrust bows the heart and turns the spirit
back to dust. Whether 60 or 16, there is in every human being heart the
lure of wonder, the unfailing child-like appetite of what’s next, and the
joy of the game of living. In the center of your heart and my heart there
is a wireless station; so long as it receives messages of beauty, hope,
cheer, courage and power from men and from the infinite, so long are
you young.

When the aerials are down, and your spirits is covered with snows of
cynicism and the eyes of pessimism, then you are grown old, even at 20
but as long as your aerial are up, to catch waves of optimism, there is
hope you may die young at 80.

SET 2 Q&A

1. What can be inferred from the poem's title?

*The title of the poem suggests that this will be a basic, perhaps formal
presentation of poetry, where the reader gets to know the poem's
fundamentals.

2. In the first few lines, who does them refer to?

*I think them refers to students.

3. Based on the relationship between the speaker and them, what can
you infer about the setting?

*Classroom
4. What action does the speaker want them to do when he tells them to
press an ear against the poem's hive?

* The speaker asked the reader to listen to the poem, to establish

whether or not the hive has rhythm or a certain buzz. If the reader listens
carefully enough perhaps the nature of the poem will become apparent.

5. In the lines that refer to the mouse, what does the speaker want them
to do with the poem that the mouse is doing when he probes his way
out?

*The responsibility is on the reader to initiate "the mouse is to be

dropped",which implies that the mouse is a newcomer to the poem, and
has never been in it before.

6. When the speaker compares the poem to a room, what does the light
switch symbolize?

* The reader is invited to walk, not run, around the poem's interior. This
inside room may be dark initially but by feeling, the guest should find the
all important light switch. So the poem is metaphorically a room, with
form and shape and that crucial light switch. Poems may be technically
constructed of letters from the alphabet but a poem is much more than
arranged words on a page,they're all about feeling too;and the flow of
electricity.

7. What emotion is the author trying to convey with the image of

waterskiing?

* The speaker is suggesting that poetry is water, the element of feeling,

emotion, and it is only because of this the reader is able to ski. Have fun,
acknowledge the author, but know that only the most confident of
readers are able to do both at the same time.

8. What is meant by waving at the author's name on the shore? What

kind of relationship would be necessary to wave at someone?

* A good type of relationship. Enough to recognize the person and feel

comfortable enough to wave.

9. What are they doing when they try to torture a confession out of the
poem?

* Harm poetry by restricting it, in the hope that they will find answers and
meaning.

10. Why did the author choose to have them beat the poem with a
hose?

* There is an accusation, the speaker strongly insist that all the readers,
teachers, and the lecturers do is harm poetry by restricting it, doing
horrible things to it in the hope that they will find answers and meaning.

11. What is the theme, and which statement or line best supports it?

* Introduction to Poetry is the poet's way of saying that a poem is a thing

of wonder and should be treated in a way that does not cause internal
bruising to both poem and reader. In effect, Billy Collins is declaring his
love for poetry because, to him, it is a living thing, made of everyday
language.'There's mystery in the ordinary,' according to Collins. This
mystery can be experienced by the reader (and the student/poet) if they
are willing to approach each poem as if it were a new day in which
they're about to be entertained.

PALAWAN

Unique to Palawan is its mega diversity. For a long time, Palawan

bountiful resources, abundant wildlife and extraordinary natural beauty
are known only to the many ethnic communities that thrive in these
islands and the few other daring settlers who wanted to live in
unpopulated surroundings. The island province first attracted foreign
attention in the 1970s when it became a united nations Vietnamese
refugee center.

At this time, a disturbance in Kenya also saw the transport of

endangered animals from its savannas to the plains of Calauit Islands. As
the story goes, a “tuna line disabled a dive boats propeller in the middle
of the night forcing it to drop anchor in an inlet. The following morning,
the divers woke up to an amazing scenery of skyscraping dark, cliffs,
thick green forest, white sand beach, sparkling waters and rising above
it, a series of magnificently sculpted jade island.

ILLIAD AND ODESSY

The views and beliefs of society are often portrayed in the literature,
art, and cinema of a certain era. The Illiad and Odessy, gives scholar and
historian an idea how the ancient Greek lives their everyday life.

The Illiad and the Odessy are two classic stories told by Homer.
Within two stories the roles of the gods are very important to the story
line and how they affect the characters throughout.

In the Illiad more gods are involved with the characters whereas in
Odessy there are only two major gods that affects two major characters.
The roles of the gods in the Illiad are through two different stances of
immortal versus mortal and mortal versus immortal.

The roles of the gods in the Odessy are through two major gods and
they affect the plot as Poseidon verus Odessy and Athena versus
Telemachus.
 Illiad was a tragedy illustrating the despair and useless suffering
associated with war.

Homer’s Odessy was an epic tale of long suffering resolving in

triumph. Though there were a great many differences between the two
works, there was an underlying theme of love which run through both.
Not just the physical manifestation of infatuation, but the kind of love
that makes one willing to die for another.

CAMERA INVENTION

Inventions enhance peoples live, inventions are improvements of

previous discoveries. With technology, inventions are easier to complete.

One such invention was camera. The invention of camera gave way to
the first underwater camera. In 1856. It was placed in a tightly sealed
container. However, when the contraption was underwater, the container
broke before many pictures were taken. It was only in the 1980’s that
camera was made which is able to go deep underwater without being
damaged. Less than twenty years later, technology allowed underwater
camera to take photographs in color and to go even deeper into the
water.

With better technology, an invention will never stay stagnant.

DRUG ADDICTION

The literature on drug addiction has grown at a rate that defies

anyone to keep abreast of the literature, and apparently in inverse
proportion to our understanding of the subject. Addiction or
dependence, as it is more fashionable to call it, excites controversy and
speculation yet true understanding of the phenomenon remains elusive.

In fact, the area is fraught with speculation and acrimonious debate.

Definition of terms such as “drug”, “addiction” and “abuse” is obviously
less controversial than attempts to explain the nature of drug
dependence, yet the terminology is imprecise and over train with
subjective connotations. At its most basic. A drug, as defined by World
Health Organization, is simply any substance which hen taken into the
living organism may modify one or more of its functions. This kind of
definition is too wide to be of any use in discussion of dependence, it
covers everything from insulin to aspirin, penicillin to alcohol.
