For numbers 7-10: Read the text and answer the questions below:

One reason that fireflies glow is to attract a mate. Males and females of the same species will
flash signals back and forth as a way of communicating. Another reason that fireflies glow is to
avoid predators. Fireflies are filled with a nasty tasting chemical called lucibufagens, and after a
predator gets a mouthful, it quickly learns to associate the firefly's glow with this bad taste! So
not only does the flashing help attract a mate, but it also warns predators to stay away.

Having lucibufagens is so important for survival that one species of firefly that can't make this
chemical gets it by eating other species that can make it. They do this by mimicking the flash
pattern of another species and luring them in close. The unsuspecting male firefly thinks he is
going to find a mate, but instead becomes a tasty treat to the tricky firefly. Talk about a bad date!

Read the following:

Captain Ronny called for a meeting with other members of his barangay. Ronny opened the
meeting by saying that he had noticed an increase in criminal instances in the community. When he
looked at the records, he saw that most of these crimes are being committed by teenagers. He also
stated how their neighboring barangay was able to lessen the occurrence of the said instances from
happening in their community by establishing a peer counseling group. Mark, the head of security in the
barangay, agreed that there had been many instances where teenagers were penalized due to
vandalism, fighting, drug abuse, and sexual harassment. He then proposed that they should also start a
peer counseling group for the teenagers in their community. Mila, a teacher, said that the group sessions
may be conducted in classrooms when they are not being used for classes. She also said that she would
start preparing the classroom to be used that Friday, and that sessions can start that Saturday. Ken, a
teenager, volunteered to help design the classroom and conduct the peer counseling sessions, but
estimated the cost of the materials needed to design it to amount to around five hundred pesos, the cost
of the books, instructional materials, and activity materials for the sessions to amount to around two
thousand pesos, and the cost of the food for the participants for each session to amount to around five
hundred pesos. Nina, a mom of a delinquent teenager, approved of the proposal and asked the other

assistance.

primary roads and eleven secondary roads. Thus, it is quite hard to know just where a certain place is in
our own barangay. For example, many people from the eastern part of our barangay do not know that
there is a health center at the western part, while many from the western part do not know of the new
police station that was constructed at the eastern part. Because of this, I would like to propose that this
problem be dealt with immediately. Once it has been resolved, everyone from the barangay would be
able to benefit from all the services that are being offered in the different public service establishments in

plastic pail that contains crushed ice. Then, like all the other vendors in the community, she would then
roam around her barangay and knock on people's houses to see if they want to buy fish. Her regular
buyers have started telling her that it would be more convenient if there was a place where they would

Here is an example of a project proposal: “ I am very extremely excited about the upcoming
summer season, because even though it is hot and everyone will be sweaty, children would be at home
with their families longer than during the school season. However, I think it is quite sad that many
parents cannot play with their little bunso or do not know what their teenage children like talking about
and doing. The poor little children would then just spend their totally unproductive summer playing
outside where it is dangerous, or in computer shops where they can be on their facebook accounts for
the entire day. Thus, I feel that we should have a Family Fun Week this summer. There should be lots and
lots of activities where parents can bond and have loads of fun with their children. There should be
exciting games, contests, film viewing, inter-family sharing, and many many more activities that will
ensure that families spend quality time with each other. With this, parents need not to worry about how
to spend their summers with their kids anymore, and kids will not be neglected and left unattended to.”

43) What can be done to make this project proposal be more effective?

a. make it less wordy

b. add more colorful words

c. expound on the problem further

d. add another paragraph about how the project is important


44) In simpler words, what problems did the writer of the project proposal notice?

summer

b. it is hot and boring during summer

c. there are too many children in the barangay

d. computer shops and facebook are destroying parent-child relationships

unnecessary, except for:

a. I am very extremely excited about the upcoming summer season

outside

For numbers 46-50, read the story below.


Stellaluna (taken from the module)
In a warm and sultry forest far, far away, there once lived a mother bat and her baby.
Oh, how Mother Bat loved her soft tiny baby. “I’ll name you Stellaluna,” she crooned.
Each night, Mother Bat would carry Stellaluna clutched to her breast as she flew out to
search for food.
One night, as Mother Bat followed the scent of ripe fruits, an owl swooped down upon
her.
Mother Bat tried to escape but the owl struck her, knocking Stellaluna. Down she went
into the forest below.
The dark leafy branches caught Stellaluna. By daybreak, she dropped into a soft nest,
startling the three baby birds who lived there. She listened to the babble of the three birds.
“What was that?” cried Flap.
“I don’t know but it’s hanging by its feet,” chirped Flitter.
“Shh! Here comes Mama,” hissed Pip.
Mama Bird has food for her babies. Stellaluna was very hungry but not for the crawly
things that Mama Bird brought.
Finally, she could not bear her hunger any longer. She opened her mouth and in dropped
a big grasshopper.
She learned to be like the birds. She stayed awake all day and slept at night. She ate bugs.
But she still slept hanging by her feet.
Once, the baby birds tried hanging on their feet too. But Mama Bird ordered them back to
their nest and scolded Stellaluna for teaching the birds bad things.
The baby birds grew and learned to fly. Stellaluna learned too but she could not land
gracefully on a branch. She practiced all day and did not notice that it was getting dark.
She didn’t hear the soft sound of wings coming near.
“Why are you hanging by your thumb?” a voiced asked. “You are upside down.”
“I am not. You are,” said Stellaluna.
“But you’re a bat,” said the older bat to Stellaluna.
More bats came. Stellaluna told them her story, how she and her mother were attacked by
an owl and how she came to live with the birds.
“Stellaluna, my baby,” said an older bat.
It was a happy reunion. The next day, Mother Bat taught Stellaluna how to act like a bat,
how to eat delicious fruits and how to hang upside down.
The next day, Stellaluna visited her friends. She invited them to meet her bat family.
The three birds were so happy, “How can we be so different and feel so much alike?”
they asked.
“I think it’s a mystery,” said Stellaluna. “But we are friends. And that’s a fact.”

ANG PAMANA
Ni Jose Corazon De Jesus

Isang araw ang ina ko’y nakita kong namamanglaw


Naglilinis ng marumi’t mga lumang kasangkapan.
Sa pilak ng kanyang buhok na hibla ng katandaan
Nabakas ko ang maraming taon niyang kahirapan;
Nakita ko ang ina ko’y tila baga nalulumbay
At ang sabi “itong pyano sa iyo ko ibibigay,
Ang kubyertos nating pilak ay kay Itang maiiwan,
Mga silya’t aparador ay kay Tikong nababagay
Sa ganyan ko hinahati itong ating munting yaman.”
Pinilit kong pasayahin ang lungkot ng aking mukha
Tinangka kong magpatawa upang siya ay matuwa,
Subalit sa aking mata’y may namuong mga luha
Naisip ko ang ina ko, ang ina ko na kawawa;
Tila kami iiwan na’t may yari nang huling nasa
At sa halip ng magalak sa pamanang mapapala,
Sa puso ko ay dumalaw ang malungkot na gunita
Napaiyak akong tila isang kaawa-awang bata
Niyakap ko ang ina ko at sa kanya ay winika.

“Ang ibig ko sana, Ina’y ikaw aking pasayahin


At huwag nang makita pang ika’y nalulungkot mandin,
O, Ina ko, ano po ba at naisipang hatiin
Ang lahat ng munting yamang maiiwan sa amin?
“Wala naman,” yaong sagot “baka ako ay tawagin ni Bathala
Mabuti nang malaman mo ang habilin!
Iyang pyano, itong silya’t aparador ay alaming
Pamana ko na sa inyo, bunsong ginigiliw.

“Ngunit Inang” ang sagot ko, “ang lahat ng kasangkapan


Ang lahat ng yaman dito ay hindi ko kailangan
Ang ibig ko’y ikaw ina, ang ibig ko’y ikaw inang
Hinihiling ko sa Diyos na ang pamana ko’y ikaw
Aanhin ko iyong pyano kapag ikaw ay namatay
At hindi ko matutugtog sa tabi ng iyong hukay?
Ililimos ko sa iba ang lahat ng ating yaman
Pagkat di ka maaaring pantayan ng daigdigan
Pagkat, ikaw O Ina ko, ika’y wala pang kapantay.”
