Back of the smokehouse into the lot,
And across the filed.
And I meant to kill him on sight.

And all I could say was, “Don’t, Don’t Don’t,”
As he aimed and fired at my heart/

Situation 2 – below is an excerpt from John F. Kennedy’s “Inaugural Address.” Read the excerpt and answer the questions that follows

In your hands, my fellow citizens, more than mine, will rest the final success or failure of our course. Since this country as founded, each generation of Americas has been summoned to give testimony to its national loyalty. The graves of young Americans into answered the call to service surround the globe.

Now the trumpet summons us again-not as a call to bear arms, though arms we need, not as a call to battle, though embattled we are; but a call to bear the burden of a long twilight struggle, year in and year out, “rejoicing in hope, patient in tribulation,” a struggle against the common enemies of many tyranny, poverty, disease, and war itself.

Can we forge against these enemies a grand and global alliance, North and South, East and West, that can assure a more fruitful life for all mankind? Will you join me in this historic effort?

In the long history of the world, only a few generations have been granted the role of defending freedoms in its hour of maximum danger. I do not shrink responsibility; I welcome it. I do not believe that any of us would exchange places with any other people with any other people or any other generation. The energy, the faith, the devotions which we bring to this endeavor will light our country and all who serve it, and the glow from that fire can truly light the world.

And so, my fellow Americans, ask not what your country can do for you; ask what you can do for your country.

My Fellow citizens of the world, ask not what America will do for you, but what together we can do for the freedom of man.

Still send from underground against your blades
The roots of things battalions greens and curled
And tender, that will match your blades with blades
Till the revolted throats shall strangle on

All armored beasts are eaten by their lawns.

Situation 5 – Ang sumusunod ay isang talumpati na may pamagat na SA KABATAAN
na isinulat ni Onofre Pagsanghan

Isa sa mga salitang napag-aralan natin sa wikang Pilipino ay salitang NABANSOT. Kapag ang isang bagay daw ay dapat pang lumaki ngunit ito’y tumigil na sa paglaki, ang bagay na ito raw ay NABANSOT. Marami raw uri ngpagkabansot ngunit ang pinakamalungkot na uri raw ay ang ng isipan, ng puso at ng diwa.

Ang panahon ng kabataan ay panahon ng pagklaki, ngunit ang ating paglaki ay kailangang paglaki at pag-unlad ng ating buong katauhan. Hindi lamang ng atinmg sukat at timbang. Kung ga-poste man ang ating at ga-pison man angating bigat ngunit kung ang pag-iisip namat nati’y ga-kulisap lamang kay pangit na kabansutan. Kung tumangkad man tayong tangkad-kawayan at bumilog man tayong bilog-tapayan, ngunit kung tayo nama’y tulad ni “bondying” ay di pagkatiwalaan anong laking kakulangan. Kung magkakatawan tayong katawang “Tarza” at mapatalas ang ating isipang sintalas ng kay Rizal, ngunit kung ang ating kalooban nama’y itim na duwende ng kasamaan anong kapinsalaan para sa kinabukasan.

Kinabukasan, kabataan, tayo raw ang pag-asa ng inang Bayan. Tayo raw ang maghahatid sa kanya sa lagnit ng kaganaan at karangalan o hihila sa kanya sa putik ng kahirapan at kahihiyan. Ang panahon ng pagkilos ay ngayon, hindi bukas, hindi sa isang taon. Araw-araw ay tumatawid tayong palangit o bumabaluktod tayong paputik. Tamang-tama ang sabi ng ating mga ninunong kung ano raw ang kinamihasnan ay siyang pagkakatandaan. Huwag nating akalaing makapagpapabaya tayo ng ating pag-aaral ngayon at sa araw ng bukas ay bigla tayong maging mga dalubhasang magpapaunlad sa bayan. Huwag nating akalaing makapaglulublob tayo ngayon sa kalaswaan at kahalayan at sa mahiwagang araw ng bukas bigla tayong magiging ulirang mga magulang.

Kabataan, tunay na pag-ibig sa bayan, ang tunay na nasyonalismo, ay wala sa tamis ng pagnarap wala rin sa pagpag ng dila. Ang tunay na pag-ibig ay nasa pawis ng gawa.

B. Di ito mapagkakatiwalaan
C. May kakulangan ito
D. Di totoo ito

kailangang taglayin upang ang hangarin sa buhay ay ating kamtin.

MGA TEORYA NG PINAGMULAN NG WIKA

Filipino

TEORYANG BOW -WOW Ginagaya nila ang tunog na nililikha ng mga hayop gaya ng tahol ng aso, tilaok ng manok at huni ng ibon. Ginagaya naman daw ng tao ang tunog ng kalikasan at paligid gaya ng ihip ng hangin, patak ng ulan at langitngit ng kawayan.

TEORYANG DING DONG  Lahat ng bagay may sariling tunog na siyang kumakatawan sa bawat isa at ang tunog niyon ang siyang ginagad ng mga sinaunang tao na kalauna’y nagpabago-bago at nilapatan ng iba’t ibang kahulugan.

TEORYANG DING DONG  May sariling tunog na kumakatawan sa lahat ng bagay sa kapaligiran. Tinawag din ito ni Max Muller na simbolismo ng tunog.  Halimbawa: tsug- tsug ng tren, tik- tak ng orasan.

TEORYANG POOH -POOH Nakalilikha ng tunog sanhi ng bugso ng damdamin. Gamit ang bibig, napabubulalas ang mga tunog ng pagdaing na dala ng takot, lungkot, galit, saya at paglalaan ng lakas.

TEORYANG TA-RA-RA- BOOM DE AY- Ang wika ng tao ay nag –ugat sa mga tunog na kanilang nilikha sa mga ritwal na kalauna’y nagpapabagu-bago at nilapatan ng iba’t ibang kahulugan. Halimbawa: pagsayaw, pagsigaw at incantation o mga bulong na ginagawa tuwing makikidigma, pagtatanim at iba pa.

TEORYANG SING-SONG- Iminungkahi ng linggwistang si Jesperson na ang wika ay nagmula sa paglalaro, pagtawa, pagbulong sa sarili, panliligaw at iba pang mga bulalas- emosyunal. Iminungkahi pa niya na taliwas sa iba pang teorya, ang mga unang salita ay sadyang mahahaba at musikal, at hindi maiikling bulalas na pinaniniwalaan ng marami.

TORE NG BABEL Teoryang nahalaw mula sa Banal na Kasulatan. Nagkaroon ng panahon kungsaan ang wika ay iisa lamang. Napag-isipang magtayo ng isang tore upang hindi na magkawatak-watak at nang mahigitan ang Panginoon. Nang malaman ito ng Panginoon, bumababa Siya at sinira ng tore. Nang nawasak na ang tore, nagkawatak-watak na ang tao dahil iba-iba na ang wikang kanilang binibigkas kaya nagkanya-kanya na sila at kumalat sa mundo.

TEORYANG YOO HE YO- Pinaniniwalaan ng linggwistang si A.S Diamond (2003) na ang tao ay natutong magsalita bunga diumano ng kanyang puwersang pisikal.

TEORYANG TA -TA  Ayon sa teoryang ito, ang kumpas o galaw ng kamay ng tao na kanyang ginagawa sa bawat partikular na okasyon ay ginaya ng dila at naging sanhi ng pagkatuto ng taong lumikha ng tunog at kalauna’y nagsalita. Tinatawag itong ta-tana sa wikang Pranses ay nangangahulugang paalam o goodbye sapagkat kapag ang isang tao nga namang nagpapaalam ay kumakampay ang kamay nang pababa at pataas katulad ng pagbaba at pagtaas na galaw ng dila kapag binibigkas ang salitang ta-ta.

Teoryang Mama - Nagmula ang wika sa mga pinakamadadaling pantig ng pinakamahahalagang bagay. Pansinin nga naman ang mga bata. Sa una’ y hindi niya masasabi ang salitang mother ngunit dahil ang unang pantig ng nasabing salita ang pinakamahalaga diumano, una niyang nasasabi ang mama bilang panumbas sa salitang mother.

Teoryang Hey you - Iminungkahi ng linggwistang si Revesz na bunga ng interpersonal na kontak ng tao sa kanyang kapwa tao ang wika. Ayon kay Revesz, nagmula ang wika sa mga tunog na nagbabadya ng pagkakakilanlan (Ako!) at pagkakabilang (Tayo!). Napapabulalas din tayo bilang pagbabadya ng takot, galit o sakit (Saklolo!). Tinatawag din itong teoryang kontak.

Teoryang Coo Coo - Ang wika ay nagmula sa mga tunog na nalilikha ng mga sanggol. Ang mga tunog daw na ito ang ginaya ng mga matatanda bilang pagpapangalan sa mga bagay- bagay sa paligid, taliwas sa paniniwala ng marami na ang mga bata ang nanggagaya ng tunog ng mga matatanda.

Teoryang Babble Lucky - Ang wika raw ay nagmula sa mga walang kahulugang bulalas ng tao. Sa pagbubulalas ng tao, sinuwerte lamang daw siya nang ang mga hindi sinasadya at walang kabuluhang tunog na kanyang nalikha ay naiugnay sa mga bagay-bagay sa paligid na kalaunan ay naging pangalan ng mga iyon.

Teoryang Hocus Pocus - Ayon kay Boeree (2003), maaaring ang pinanggalingan ng wika ay tulad ng pinanggalingan ng mga mahikal o relihiyosong aspeto ng pamumuhay ng ating mga ninuno. Maaari raw kasing noo’y tinatawag ng mga unang tao ang mga hayop sa pamamagitan ng mga mahikal na tunog na kalaunan ay naging pangalan ng bawat hayop.

Teoryang Eureka!  Sadyang inimbento/nilikha ang wika ayon sa teoryang ito ayon kay (Boeree, 2003). Maaari raw na ang ating mga ninuno ay may ideya ng pagtatakda ng mga arbitraryong tunog upang ipakahulugan sa mga tiyak na bagay.Nang ang mga ideyang iyon ay nalikha, mabilis na iyong kumalat sa iba pang tao at naging kalakaran sa pagpapangalan ng mga bagay- bagay.

The longer you wait to begin receiving benefits (up to age 70), the higher your benefits will be. If you were born between 1938 and 1960, you cannot receive “full retirement” benefits until age 66. If you were born in 1960 or later, your full retirement age will be 67.

PARTS OF THE CELL
The parts of the plant cell are as follows:
Cell wall is the outermost rigid covering of the plant cell. It is a salient feature of plant cell.
Cell membrane or the plasma membrane is the outer lining of the cell inside the cell wall.
Cytosol or cytoplasm is the gel-like matrix inside the cell membrane which constitutes all other cell organelles.
Nucleus is the control center of the cell. It is a membrane bound structure which contains the hereditary material of the cell - the DNA
Chloroplast is a plastid with green pigment chlorophyll. It traps light energy and converts it to chemical energy by the process of photosynthesis.
Mitochondria carries out cellular respiration and provides energy to the cells.
Vacuoles are the temporary storage center of the cell.
Golgi body is the unit where proteins are sorted and packed.
Ribosomes are structures that assemble proteins.
Endoplasmic reticulum are membrane covered organelles that transport materials.
The parts of the animal cell are as follows:
Cell membrane
• It is a semi-permeable barrier, allowing only a few molecules to move across it.
• Electron microscopic studies of cell membrane shows the lipid bi-layer model of the plasma membrane, it also known as the fluid mosaic model.
• The cell membrane is made up of phospholipids which has polar(hydrophillic) heads and non-polar (hydrophobic) tails.
Cytoplasm
• The fluid matrix that fills the cell is the cytoplasm.
• The cellular organelles are suspended in this matrix of the cytoplasm.
• This matrix maintains the pressure of the cell, ensures the cell doesn't shrink or burst.
Nucleus
• Nucleus is the house for most of the cells genetic material- the DNA and RNA.
• The nucleus is surrounded by a porous membrane known as the nuclear membrane.
• The RNA moves in/out of the nucleus through these pores.
• Proteins needed by the nucleus enter through the nuclear pores.
• The RNA helps in protein synthesis through transcription process.
• The nucleus controls the activity of the cell and is known as the control center.
• The nucleolus is the dark spot in the nucleus, and it is the location for ribosome formation.
Ribosomes
• Ribosomes is the site for protein synthesis where the translation of the RNA takes place.
• As protein synthesis is very important to the cell, ribosomes are found in large number in all cells.
• Ribosomes are found freely suspended in the cytoplasm and also are attached to the endoplasmic reticulum.
Endoplasmic reticulum
• ER is the transport system of the cell. It transports molecules that need certain changes and also molecules to their destination.
• ER is of two types, rough and smooth.
• ER bound to the ribosomes appear rough and is the rough endoplasmic reticulum; while the smooth ER do not have the ribosomes.
Lysosomes
• It is the digestive system of the cell.
• They have digestive enzymes helps in breakdown the waste moelcules and also help in detoxification of the cell.
• If the lysosomes were not membrane bound the cell could not have used the destructive enzymes.
Centrosomes
• It is located near the nucleus of the cell and is known as the 'microtubule organizing center' of the cell.
• Microtubules are made in the centrosome.
• During mitosis the centrosome aids in dividing of the cell and moving of the chromosome to the opposite sides of the cell.
Vacuoles
• They are bound by single membrane and small organelles.
• In many organisms vacuoles are storage organelles.
Vesicles are smaller vacuoles which function for transport in/out of the cell.
Golgi bodies
• Golgi bodies are the packaging center of the cell.
• The Golgi bodies modify the molecules from the rough ER by dividing them into smaller units with membrane known as vesicles.
• They are flattened stacks of membrane-bound sacs.
Mitochondria
• Mitochondria is the main energy source of the cell.
• They are called the power house of the cell because energy(ATP) is created here.
• Mitochondria consists of inner and outer membrane.
• It is spherical or rod shaped organelle.
• It is an organelle which is independent as it has its own hereditary material.
Peroxisomes
• Peroxisomes are single membrane bound organelle that contain oxidative enzymes that are digestive in function.
• They help in digesting long chains of fatty acids and amino acids and help in synthesis of cholesterol.
Cytoskeleton
• It is the network of microtubules and microfilament fibres.
• They give structural support and maintain the shape of the cell.
Cilia and Flagella
• Cilia and flagella are structurally identical structures.
• They are different based on the function they perform and their length.
• Cilia are short and are in large number per cell while flagella are longer and are fewer in number.
• They are organelles of movement.
• The flagellar motion is undulating and wave-like whereas the ciliary movement is power stroke and recovery stroke.
Cell membrane
• It is a semi-permeable barrier, allowing only a few molecules to move across it.

Famous Scientists
Archimedes of Syracuse (287 - 212 BC)
Due to the fact that Archimedes was a person with multiple interests, including math, physics, astronomy and engineering, he managed to become a successful inventor. He became famous for his innovative thinking and was the one to come up with a lot of innovative machines, including the Archimedes screw that is still used today to pump liquids, coal, grain and more. But probably his most famous discovery is the way of finding the volume of objects that have an irregular shape. It is worth mentioning that most of his works were meant to help his home city.
Leonardo Da Vinci (1452 - 1519)
Leonardo Da Vinci was a great inventor, being fond of engineering, astronomy, aeronautics, mathematics and more. His drawings include a number of various inventions, the basics of which more or less can be found in different technologies today. Da Vinci is considered to be the father of modern science. Some of his most important inventions include the hydraulic machine, the boat and design of a flying machine.
Evangelista Torricelli (1608-1647)
The famous Italian physicist and mathematician is the author of the barometer (scientific tool used in the field of meteorology to estimate atmospheric pressure), built in 1643. It would be interesting to note that a number of Italian Navy submarines were named after the inventor.
Ferdinand Verbiest (1623 - 1688)
