by encircling the correct answer.
Passage B
Asia’s new generation of kids has more than
just youth in common. Whether in Manila,
Hongkong, Kuala Lumpur, Singapore, Jakarta
or Tokyo, whether rich or poor, urban or
rural, delinquent or not, Asia’s youngsters
share many things. They go to schools, sing-
along bars, fast food outlets, rock concert and
rallies. They are dressed in wild costumes of
screaming colors or black, leather jackets,
outsize t-shirts and candy-colored sneakers.
In Manila, they are particularly called
“bagets”. Their pursuits, though seemingly
inane are innocent – singing-along with the
gang at the malls, sharing cheeseburgers and
sodas or cruising the commercial center of
Cubao and Makati.
In Bangkok, they will wander about the Siam
Shopping Center, in Singapore, in the
shopping complexes of Orchard Road. They
are kids of Asia’s great cities, avant-garde,
rebellious, modernized. They are exposed to
imported television that usher in
international values.
In Hongkong, the kids have been described as
precocious, world-wise, and materialistic,
governed less by teachers and parents than
by the omnipresent television. Peer group
influence is great. Their trademarks are
smoking, foul language, bizarre and attention-
getting appearance, and rude mannerisms.
In Japan, they look like different race to the
old generation. There is rising drug abuse,
sexual freedom, crime and homosexuality
among the youth. There’s less respect given
to parents and to the aged.

READING COMPREHENSION Part 1 Answers
Directions: In this test you will read several
passages. Answer all the questions that follow
by encircling the correct answer.
Passage A
One reason that so many people fail is that
they lack confidence in themselves. If you
think of yourself as being unworthy of great
achievement, you will never achieve
greatness. If, on the other hand, you know
yourself and understand what your abilities
are, and if then you are determined to
accomplish and gain confidence in yourself.
One of the surest ways to accomplish this is
for you to associate with persons who have
really achieved greatness. It is impossible,
however, for most people to come frequently
into the actual presence of the great. The next
best thing, perhaps, is for you to spend part of
your time in reading about great achievers.
Biography is a powerful stimulant to action.
But these processes will not work unless you
rid yourself of a sense of inferiority and
determined to do the best that you possibly
can. One of the great philosophers expressed
the idea in a single sentence when he said
that each individual should hitch his wagon to
a star.

complex
c. Knowing oneself leads to great achievement
in life
d. Self-confidence is the key factor in achieving
success in life
2. Which paragraph/s gives/give specific
suggestions on how to develop confidence

a. Paragraph 1 b. Paragraph 2 c.
Paragraph 1 and 3 d. Paragraph 2 and 3
3. What word is synonymous or closest in
meaning to the word “hitch” as used in the
last sentence of the selection?

remove

who are not because they
a. Work hard at having faith in their abilities.

d. Disregard the opinions of others.
5. What does the saying “Each individual
should hitch his wagon to a star” mean?
a. One should try to fulfill all his ambitions in
life.
b. A person should emulate his ideal person.
c. A person should aim as high as he could
reach.
d. One should wish upon a star to make his
dreams come true.
6. What literary technique was used by the
writer in presenting his ideas?
a. Narration c.
Comparing ideas
b. Detailed analysis d. Giving
suggestions
7. According to the author, what is one of the
surest ways to achieve self-confidence?
a. Read lots of informative books
b. Deal with people who have achieved
greatness
c. Be-friend people who are self-sufficient
d. Develop a strong and independent
personality

enough to propel one to succeed

ANSWERS
Directions: In this test you will read several
passages. Answer all the questions that follow
by encircling the correct answer.
Passage C
In the year 1799, an officer of the French Army
was stationed in a small fortress on the
Rosetta River, a mouth of the Nile, near
Alexander, Egypt. He was interested in the
ruins of the ancient Egyptian civilization, and
had seen the sphinx and the pyramids, those
mysterious structures that were erected by
men of another era.
One day, as a trench was being dug, he found a
piece of black slate on which letters had been
carved. He had studied Greek in school, and
knew this was an inscription written in that
language. There were two more lines carved
into the stone: one on the Egyptian characters
he had seen on the ruins , the other in
completely unfamiliar characters.
The officer realized the importance of such a
find, and relinquished it to scholars who had
been puzzling over Egyptian inscriptions.
In 1802, a french professor by the name of
Champollion began studying the stone in an
attempt to decipher the two unknown sets of
characters using the Greek letters as a key. He
worked with the stone for over twenty years,
and in 1823, announced that he had
discovered the meaning of the fourteen signs,
and in doing so, had unlocked the secret of
ancient Egyptian writing.
Some 5000 years after an unknown person
had made those three inscriptions, the Rosetta
Stone became a key, unlocking the written
records of Egypt and sharing the history of
that civilization with the rest of the world.
QUESTIONS:
16. What is the main idea of the selection?
a. French scholars worked hard in studying
ancient history.
b. Ancient Egyptians wrote and preserved
their history in stones.
c. The discovery of the Rosetta Stone led to a
better understanding of the history of Egypt.
d. A French Army officer studied the Rosetta
Stone and the inscriptions carved into it.
In which country was the Rosetta Stone found?
a. Egypt b. Greece c.
France d. Alexandra
17. What word would best describe ancient
Egyptians based on the selection?
a. dedicated b. resourceful c.
wise d. gifted
What might have happened if the Rosetta
Stone were not found?
a. Egyptian civilization would have flourished.
b. Ancient Egypt would have not reached the
peak of its glory.
c. Ancient Egyptians would have not known of
their cultural heritage.
d. Egyptian civilization would have not been
fully understood by the modern world.
18. What does the lone sentence in the third
paragraph mean?
a. The owner of the Rosetta Stone tried to sell
it to scholars.
b. The Egyptians scholars were puzzled by the
inscriptions found in the Rosetta Stone.
c. The founder of the Rosetta Stone knew of its
value and turned it over to the proper
authorities.
d. The officer did not think the Rosetta Stone
had much value and therefore gave it away.
19. What literary technique was used by the
writer in developing the passage?
a. Detailed analysis c. Narrative
chronological order of events
b. Comparison and contrast of ideas
d. Repetition of important points for emphasis
20. What conclusion may be drawn from the
passage?
a. Egypt has a rich civilization dating back to
the earliest times.
b. Egypt has a mysterious culture which
remained unknown.
c. Egypt was an ancient country with no
significant history.
d. Egypt’s civilization benefited only those in
ancient times.
READING COMPREHENSION PART 4
ANSWERS
Directions: In this test you will read several
passages. Answer all the questions that follow
by encircling the correct answer.
Passage D
The complacent Filipino majority may not
have been awakened yet to the reality of a
ravaged environment; nonetheless, the
evidence must be overemphasized.
Automotive vehicles for one, reportedly
contribute 94.6 million tons of waste released
into the air each year, a commuter can only
imagine how polluted the air that gets into his
respiratory system is.
Pollution experts are inclined to single out
man as the culprit of his own destruction. Man,
rightly referred to as a “messy animal,” has
helped being about untold environmental
decay.
Imperiled by the pollution of air, water and
land are not only human lives. The marine
species as well as the flora and fauna are just
adversely affected. Mass suicides of fishes and
whales have been witnessed along Australian
and American shorelines.
The mushrooming of factories and plants
along river banks have been largely
responsible for the pollution of the different
bodies of water, indiscriminate disposal of
industrial waste makes festering sinks of the
rivers. Too much dumping of industrial waste
renders to water stagnant. Many of the rivers
that used to flow along industrial banks can
use some dredging. And yet what good will
dredging of a river do if in no time at all it will
serve again as dumping basin? The initiative
has to come from the factory owners.
A great number of scientists like or think that
new technology can be called upon to check
the impending pollution disaster, others are of
the opinion that fewer births and less gadgetry
may yet provide the answer to the devastating
dilemma. It cannot be denied, however, that
man’s wasteful ways call for some measure of
discipline.
Man’s brutality toward his environment will
only lead to his unmarking. It is ironical,
indeed, that he who was created to have
dominion over every living creature on earth
should one day be overpowered by an
environment he has helped to pollute. The
catastrophe can hopefully still be averted.
QUESTIONS:
21. What does the selection generally urge
man to realize?
a. The threat of environmental pollution to
each country
b. The necessity of taking immediate steps to
solve the pollution problem
c. The scope of the problem of environmental
pollution
d. The steps to take in checking the impending
pollution disaster
22. The phrase “mushrooming of factories” are
used in the fourth paragraph of the selection
refers to factories which are
a. built b. destroyed c.
maintained d. abandoned
23. In what part of the passage can you read of
the ways we can prevent pollution?
a. First paragraph b. Fourth

paragraph
