B. PARAGRAPH COMPLETION We Filipinos are mild drinkers. We drink only for three reasons. We drink when we are sad. We drink when we are happy and we drink for any other reasons. In 1945, the liberation forces landed in the Philippines. We Filipinos were very glad to see the Americans back, not so much because they were Americans but because they were not Japanese. In our barrio, alcoholized Americans became a common sight. A favorite story in the

barrio then was that of the Yankee soldier who stumbled with a bottle of whisky in his pocket. Finding it is wet, he alarmingly looked at his hands; then with a sigh of relief, he exclaimed. Thank God, it was blood! I thought it was my whisky!
- We Filipinos are Mild Drinkers by Alejandro R. Roces C.

A miser, to make sure of his property, sold all that he had and converted it into a great lump of gold, which he hid in a hole in the ground, and went continually to visit and inspect it. This roused the curiosity of one of the workmen, who, suspecting that there was a treasure, went to the spot and stole it away. When the miser returned and found the place empty, he wept and tore his hair. But a neighbor who saw him in this extravagant grief, and learned the cause of it, said, Fret no longer, but take a stone and put it in the same place, and think of it as your lump of gold. As you never meant to use it, the stone will do you as much as the gold. D. One day, a farmer going to the nest of his goose, found there an egg all yellow and glittering. When he took it up, it was as heavy as lead. The farmers first impulse was to throw the egg away, because he thought a trick had been played upon him. But he got it on second thought, and soon found to his delight that it was an egg of pure gold. Every morning, the same thing occurred and soon, the farmer became rich by selling his eggs. As he grew richer, he grew greedy; and thinking to get at once all the gold the goose could give, he killed it and opened it only to find nothing. E. I am a member of the Ecology Club of our school. Our objective is to conserve the environment in our own little way. We all agree that we will plant trees in vacant areas in our school grounds or in the community. Of course, we will ask the approval of the school and barangay authorities concerning this. We will also use recyclable materials like used cans and plastic containers for planting vegetables and ornamentals. We will clean our immediate surroundings like our homes, schools, backyards, and streets. In school, we will segregate garbage into perishable and recyclable wastes.
