Medical knowledge in ancient Egypt had an excellent reputation, and rulers of other empires
would ask the Egyptian pharaoh to send them their best physician to treat their love ones. Egyptians have
some knowledge of human anatomy, even though they never dissected the body. For example, in the
classic mummification process, they knew how to insert a long hooked implement through a nostril,
breaking the thin bone of the brain case and remove the brain. Egyptian physicians also were aware of the
importance of the pulse and of the connection between pulse and heart. They develop their theory of

Read the selection below. Select the letter of the best answer to question # 60-64.
Orville and Wilbur Wright built their own wind tunnel to test airfoils and measure how to
lift a flying machine into the sky. They were the first to discover that a long, narrow wing shift is
ideal for flight. They figured out how to move the vehicle freely, not just across land but up and
down on a cushion of air. They built the movable part of the tail to control the pitch of their craft as
it nosed up and down. They fashioned a pair of twin rudders in back to control its tendency to
swerve off course. They devised a pulley system that warped the shape of the wings in midflight
flight to turn the plain and to stop it from rolling from side-to-side. They used the data from wind-
tunnel experiments to design the first effective airplane propellers. When they discovered that a
light-weight gas powered engine did not exist, they design and built their own.

Measures of learning outcomes have a special significance as indicators of quality in
education, as a basis for setting targets for improvement, and in monitoring progress towards
educational goals. From the point of view of classroom teachers, systematically-collected
information on student learning can be useful both for classroom decision making and for wider
reporting purposes.

information about what is being expected of, and achieved by students of a given age. When teachers
have access to explicit frame of reference in the form of achievement targets at particular grade
levels, and receive feedback on how their classes are performing in comparison with students in
other schools, they have a powerful basis for structuring and evaluating individual and classroom
learning.

An international education initiative, known as global competence, was first noted in 1988 in a
report published by the Council on International Education Exchange.
Higher education institutions were enjoined to send students in exchange programs to universities
abroad where Americans are not the majority population and where English is not a dominant language.
Educational scholars have proposed definitions for the term global competence and postulates
regarding the required knowledge, skills, attitudes, and experience necessary to become globally
competitive. Cross-cultural awareness and interaction, familiarity with an environment, intercultural
facility, effective two-way communication, interconnectedness of people and systems, acceptance of people
and of their different cultural values, and attitudes are integral components of global competence

Water
The most important source of sediment is Earth and Rock material carried to the sea by the rivers
and streams; the same materials may also have been transported by the glaciers and winds. Other
sources are volcanic ash and lava, shells and skeletons, of organisms, chemicals precipitates formed in
seawater, and particles from outer space.
Water is the most unusual substance because it exists on the surface on the Earth in its three
physical states: ice, water, and water vapor. There are other substances that might exist in solid and
liquid or gaseous state at temperatures normally found at the Earths surface, but there are no other
substances which occur in all three states.
Water is odorless, tasteless, and colorless. It is the only substance known to exist in a natural
state as a solid, liquid, or gas on the surface of the Earth. It is a universal solvent. Water does not
corrode, rust, burn, or separates to its components easily. It is chemically indestructible. It can corrode
almost in metal and erode in the most solid rock. A unique property of water is that it expands and floats
in water when frozen or in the solid state. Water has freezing point of 0 degree Celsius and a boiling
point of 100 degree Celsius. Water has the capacity for absorbing great quantities of heat with relatively
little increase in temperature. When distilled, water is a poor conductor of electricity but when salt is
added, it is a good conductor of electricity.
Sunlight is the source of energy for temperature change, evaporation, and currents for water
movement through the atmosphere. Sunlight controls the rate of photosynthesis for all marine plants,
which are directly or indirectly the source of foods for all marine animals. Migration, breeding, and other
behaviors of marine animals are affected by light.
Water as the ocean or sea, is blue because of the molecular scattering of the sunlight. Blue light,
being of short wavelength, is scattered more effectively than light of longer wavelengths. Variations in
color may be caused by particles suspended in the water, water depth, cloud cover, temperature and
other variable factors. Heavy concentrations of dissolved materials cause a yellowish hue, while algae
cause the water to look green. Heavy of plant and animal materials will cause the water to brown.
74. Which of the topics best organizes the information in the text?
A. Properties of seawater, photosynthesis oceans and seas
B. Water as substance water and plants
C. State of water as a vapor, ice, solid
D. Properties of water, its physical states, effects of the sun in water

A. Water is a poor conductor of electricity.
B. Water is odorless, tasteless, and colorless.
C. Water exists on the surface of the Earth in three physical states.

76. Which of the following beast defines the word distilled as it used in the last sentence of the third
paragraph?
A. Dehydrated soil C. Free of electrical energy
B. Free of salt content D. Containing wine

Exerpt from Like the Molave

Not you alone , Rizal. O souls
And spirits of the martyred brave, arised!
Arise and scour the land! Shed once again
Your willing blood! Infuse the vibrant red
Into your thin anemic veins; until
We pick up your Promethean tools and, strong,
Out of depthless matrix of your of your faith
In us, and on the silent cliffs of freedom,
We carved for all time your marmoreal dream!
Until our people, seeing, are become
Like the Molave, firm, resilent, staunch,
Rising on the hillside, unafraid,
Strong in its own fibre, yes, like the Molave!

Excerpt from I am looking for a Filipino

Is it so hard to believe that we can remain Filipinos and still march onward, ever onward to our
national destiny? Are our minds so narrow, is our intelligence is so limited that we cannot realize this
truth? Can we not see that we can adopt foreign ways and yet retain the enduring, the admirable qualities
that can make the Filipino great? Have we been so westernized that we find the Filipino way alien to our
mode of living?
The Filipino way is our legacy. It is found in the determination and fortitude, the determination
that made it possible for our brothers in the mountains to build breath-taking rice terraces. It is found in
our courage that sustained us at Mactan, at Tirad pass,in bataan. It is found in our simplicity and
modesty, in the beauty of Angelus at twilight, and in the sincerity of our devotion to our god and our
country.
These qualities are still in us in all of us. They are still in our minds and in our hearts. We can
still dig them out if we would only forget about our obsessions with brown Americanism. We can still dig
out if we would only dig hard enough.
I am looking for a Filipino. I cannot find him among those who shout self-righteously about
nationalism and nationalization. I cannot see him among those who preach about Filipinism but whose
preachings are empty and meaningless.
Will may search be long and vain? It will be. I am afraid unless we make in time. It will never
and unless we realize the sacredness of our heritage, unless we see the richness and the beauty, the glory
and the wonder, the promise and the fulfillment of the Filipino vision.
- Professor Felix Bautista

Excerpt from the Cask of Amontillado
The thousand injuries of Fortunato I had borne as I best could, but when he ventured upon insult
I vowed revenge. You, who so well know the nature of my soul, will not suppose, however, that gave
utterance to a threat. At length I would be avenged; this was a point definitely, settled but the very
definitiveness with which it was resolve precluded the idea of risks. I must not only punish but punish with
impunity. A wrong is unredressed when retribution overtakes its redresser. It is equally unredressed when
the avenger fails to make himself felt us such to hi who has done the wrong.
It must be understood that neither the word nor deed had I given Fortunato cause to doubt my
good will. I continued, as was my wont, to smile in his face, and he did not perceive that my smile now
was at the thought of his immolation.
He had a weak point this Fortunato although in other regards he was a man to be respected
and even feared. He prided himself in of his connoisseurship in wine. Few Italians have the true virtuoso
spirit. For the most part their enthusiasm is adopted to suit the time and opportunity, to practise
impostures upon the British and Australian millionaires. In painting in gemmary, Fortunato, like his
countrymen, was a quack, but in the matter of old wines he was sincere. In this respect I did not differ
from him materially; --I was skillful in the Italian vintages myself, and bought largely whenever I could.

NOTES
Read, analyze and reflect on these NOTES.
1. When evaluating mathematical expressions, always be guided by the order of operations:
a. Simplify all operations inside parenthesis.
b. Simplify all exponents
c. Perform all multiplications and divisions, working from left to right.
d. Perform all additions and subtractions, working from left to right.
Remember the mnemonic P-E-M-D-A-S ( Parenthesis-Exponents- Multiplications/Divisions-
Subtractions-Additions).
2. Numbers may be classified as prime, composite and natural denominate:

a. A prime numbers is a positive numberwhich may only divided by 1or itself.
b. A composite number is a positive number which has a positive divisor other 1 or itself. All
even numbers are composite exceptthe number 2.
c. A natural number like 0 or 1 is neither prime nor composite.
d. A denominate number is a number with an attached unit of measurement.
3. Prime factorization is the process of finding which prime numbers tou need to multiply together to
get the original number. There are 2 methods of Prime factorization.
a. In the factor tree method, we use a pictorial method of finding factors, where the
number to be factorized is placed at the top and all its factors branch out one by one
till we get all prime factors, just like a tree.
24
12 2
3 4
2 2
3 2 2 2 = 24
b. In the continuous divivision method, we rperform repeated divisionsusing prime

factors as divisor until the last dividend becomes 1.

4. The least common multiple (LCM) is the smalles multiple that 2 numbers have in common. The
greatest common factor (GCF) is the larges multiple that can exactly divide 2 numbers. To obtain the
LCM or the GCF, prform prime factorization of the 2 numbers and compare their prime factors.
a. For LCM, after you list down the 2 factors, mark similar prime factors as one pair. After you have
done so, multiply together the pairedand unpaired prime factors.
24 = 2 2 2 2
36 = 2 2 2 2
LCM =
2x2x3 x 2
3 = 72
paired factors
b. For GCF, after you list down the prime factors, mark similar prime factors as one pair. After you
have done so, multiply together the paired prime factors ONLY.
24 = 2 2 2 2
36 = 2 2 2 2
GCF =
2x2x3 x = 12
paired factors
1. Please be guided by the divisibility rules.
Divisor Divisibility condition Examples

2 The last digit is even (0, 2, 4, 6, or 8). 1294: 4 is even.
3 Sum of the digits is clearly divisible by 3. 405 => 4 + 0 + 5 = 9
4 The last two digits are divisible by 4. 40832: 32 is divisible by 4.
5 Thelast digit is 0 or 5. 495: the last digit is 5.
6 It is divisible by 2 or by 3. 1,458: 1 + 4 + 5 + 8 = 18, so it is divisible
by 3 and the last digit is even, hence the number is divided by 6.
Subtracttwo times the last digit from the rest.
483: 48 (3 2) = 42: 42 is divisible by 7.
The result should be divisible by 7
8 The last three digits are divisible by 8. 34152: 152 is divisible by 8.
Ad four times the hundreds digit to twice the tens
digit to the ones digit. The result should be divisible 34152: (4 1) + (2 5) + 2 = 16
by 8.
9 Sum of the digits is divisible by 9. 2,880: 2 + 8 + 8 + 0 = 18
10 The last digit 0. 130: the las digit is 0.
2. Recall the concepts of ratio and proportion.

a. A ratio is an expression of the relative size of two quantities; it is usually expressed as the quotient
of one number divided by the other. The ratio of 1 to 2 is written as 1:2 or 1/2.
b. A proportion is a statement of equality between two ratios. The ratio of 1:2 to 3:6 forms of the
proportion 1:2 = 3:6 or = 3/6.
3. Recall the concept of percentage, base and rate.
a. The percentage is the fraction of the original number that is obtained by multiplying the rate and the
base. In problems, it is the number that comes before the word is.
b. The base is the number or quantity which represents the original number. It also represents the total.
