F. READING COMPREHENSION (7 ITEMS)
In the 16th century, an age of great marine and terrestrial exploration, Ferdinand Magellan led the first expedition
to sail around the world. As a young Portuguese noble, he served the king of Portugal, but he became involved in
the quagmire of political intrigue at court and lost the king’s favor. After he was dismissed from service by the
king of Portugal, he offered to serve the future Emperor Charles V of Spain.
A papal decree of 1493 had assigned all land in the New World west of 50 degrees W longitude to Spain and all
the land east of that line to Portugal. Magellan offered to prove that the East Indies fell under Spanish authority.
On September 20, 1519, Magellan set sail from Spain with five ships. More than a year later, one of these ships
was exploring the topography of South America in search of a water route across the continent. This ship sank,
but the remaining four ships searched along the southern peninsula of South America. Finally they found the
passage they sought near 50 degrees S latitude. Magellan named this passage the Strait of All Saints, but today it
is known as the Strait of Magellan.
One ship deserted while in this passage and returned to Spain, so fewer sailors were privileged to gaze at that first
panorama of the Pacific Ocean. Those who remained crossed the meridian now known as the International Date
Line in the early spring of 1521 after 98 days on the Pacific Ocean. During those long days at sea, many of
Magellan’s men died of starvation and disease.
Later, Magellan became involved in an insular conflict in the Philippines and was killed in a tribal battle. Only
one ship and 17 sailors under the command of the Basque navigator Elcano survived to complete the westward
journey to Spain and thus prove once and for all that the world is round, with no precipice at the edge.

34. The 16th century was an age of great ______ exploration.

a. Cosmic
b. Land
c. Mental
d. common man
e. None of the above
35. Magellan lost the favor of the king of Portugal when he became involved in a political ________.

b. discussion
c. negotiation
d. problem
e. None of the above

other of an imaginary geographical line 50 degrees west of Greenwich that extends in a _________ direction.
a. north and south
b. crosswise
c. easterly
d. south east
e. north and west

Si Amang- Percival Campoanor Cruz; Asian Journal. Mayo, 2011

1 Ang paksa ng ating kuwento ay si Guillermo Tolentino, na ang magiliw na tawag sa kanya ng mga kamag-
anakan at kasamahan sa
sentro ng mga ispiritista ay Amang.

3 Ipinanganak siya noong 1890 sa Malolos, Bulakan at noong 1922, siya ay pumasok sa Regge Istituto di Belle
Arti, kung saan siya ay
nakapagtapos ng pag-aaral nang bahagya sa pamamagitan ng lingap ng kolonyang Italyano sa Maynila.

5 Sa Roma, gumanap ang kanyang unang pang-isahang eksibisyon kung saan kabilang ang Saluto Romano
(Saludong Romano).

6 Noong 1926, siya ay inatasan bilang guro sa Paaralan ng Pinong Sining ng Pamantasan ng Pilipinas at
kinalaunang naging propesor,
kalihim, at sa huli tagapamahala. Namuno siya ng Paaralan mula sa 1953 hanggang sa kanyang pagreretiro
bilang Emeritong Propesor
noong 1955.

9 “Nakilala si Tolentino sa buong bansa nang dahil sa Monumento ni Bonifacio na may maraming pigurang
kasinlaki ng tao na dinisenyo
noong 1930 at inilantad noong 1933. Nakapaglikha din siya ng iba pang mga tanyag na bantayog tulad ng mga
Oblasyon ng Pamantasan
ng Pilipinas, ang bantayog ni Pangulong Ramon Magsaysay sa bulwagang pasukan ng GSIS, at ang Lualhati ng
Pamantasan ng Silangan.

12 “Kinumpleto niya ang ugnay-ugnay ng anim na pansilangang mananayaw, kabilang ang mananayaw na
pambibliya na si Salome,
Maria Clara, Persyana, Havanesa, at mga mananayaw Tsino.

14 “Isang produkto ng pampaaralang pinamulihanang naayon sa nakapamihasnan, Si Tolentino ay isang

kampeon ng klasisismo.

15 “Mula Hulyo hanggang Oktubre 1948 sa Magasing Sunday Times at sumunod sa This Week, kinasundo niya
si Victorio Edades sa
isang pagtatalo sa pagsusulat sa klasikal at makabagong aestetika, tumutuligsa sa 'pagpalipit' at muling
pagsasandata ng halaga ng
sining na naayon sa nakapamihasnan.

18 Bagama't ang pagsasanay ni Tolentino ay klasikal, ang kanyang mga likha ay lumalagos ng palaibig na
kakayahang makadama na
namamayani ang Kanluraning daigdig mula sa unang ika-19 na siglo hanggang sa dekadang 20. Kaya, ang
kanyang mga likha ay
nakatuon na may damdamin, lalung-lalo na may pagkamakabansa mula't sapul na siya'y marubdob na Rizalista.

21 Ang bahay ni Amang sa Retiro, sa may hanggahan ng Maynila at Quezon City, ay tagpo ng mga
mahihiwagang pangyayari. May mga
testigo na nakakikita sa mga pangyayari katulad ng malimit na pagsalo ni Amang ng mga tila binhi o buko ng
halaman na nahuhulog
mula sa itaas, na kung saan nagmumula ay walang nakaaalam. Binubuksan ni Amang ang nasasalong bagay
(“aportes” ang tawag) at
nakakikita siya ng mga mensahe sa loob ng mga ito.

25 Minsan ay may ibig magpagawa kay Amang ng rebulto ni Hesu Kristo. Sabi niya ay hindi niya matatanggap
ang trabaho.“Bakit po,
bawal ba sa inyong relihiyon?”, tanong ng nagpapagawa.

27 Sagot ni Amang, “Hindi naman. Ang dahilan kung kaya’t hindi ko matatanggap ang inyong pakiusap ay
hindi ko kayang gawin ang
pinagagawa ninyo.”

29 “Nguni’t kayo po ang pinakamagaling na iskultor sa Pilipinas!” tutol ng tao.

30 “Totoong makagagawa ako ng rebulto at ipagpapalagay natin na ang nagawa ko ay rebulto ni Hesu Kristo,
nguni’t iya’y
pagsisinungaling,” dugtong ni Amang.
32 “Hindi ko kayo maintindihan,” sabi ng tao.

33 “Hindi ko alam kung ano ang itsura ni Hesu Kristo! Hindi ko pa siya nakikita! Upang maililok ko ang
kanyang kaanyuan, kailangan na
makita ko siya,” paliwanag ni Amang.

35 Lumipas ang mga araw at mga buwan. Minsan ay pinapunta niya sa kanyang “studio” ang taong
nagpapagawa ng rebulto ni Hesu
Kristo. At nang ang tao ay dumating ay nakita niya na nakapatong sa isang mesa ang isang kalilikhang
rebulto ni Amang – ang mukha ni Hesu Kristo!

38 Paano niya ito nalikha? Ayon sa sariling salaysay ni Amang, nagkaroon siya ng masidhing pagnanais na
makita ang mukha ni Hesu
Kristo at nang ito ay maihubog niya sa isang rebulto. Isang araw na siya ay abala sa kanyang “studio” ay may
kumatok sa pinto. Nang
buksan ni Amang ang pinto ay nagpakilala ang
panauhin at nagsabi, “Masdan mo ang aking anyo. Ngayong nakita mo na ako,
magagawa mo na ba ang aking rebulto?”

43 Totoo man o hindi ang pangyayari, may isang obra si Amang na ang kawangis ay ang anyo ng mukha ni
Hesu Kristo at ang
pinagmulan nito ay nababalot ng hiwaga.

kakulangan-ng-nutrisyondumarami/#.UZRsQyspaI0]

1 Sinabi ng The United Nations Children’s Fund na mahigit sangkapat ng mga batang nasa edad 5-anyos
pababa sa buong mundo ay permanenting nabansot dahil sa malnutrition, na nauuwi sa mahinang
pangangatawan at utak, isang eskandalosong pagsasayang sa potensiyal ng tao.
3 Sinabi ni Anthony Lake, executive director ng UNICEF simula 2010, na ang organisadong pagbibigay ng mga
bitamina at malinis na tubig at pagbibigay-diin sa pagpapasuso ng ina sa mula sa pagsilang ang makatutulong
sana sa 165 milyong kabataang ito para matamo ang kanilang normal brain at body development.

6 Ngunit ang kanilang kakulangan ng tamang nutrisyon ay nangangahulugan na mas madali silang kapitan ng
mga karamdaman at maaagang pagkamatay.

8 “Stunting is the least understood, least recognized and least acted upon crisis. It is a hidden crisis for these
children,“ sabi ni Lake, beteranong US diplomat na naging national security adviser ni pangulong Bill Clinton.

10 Sinabi ni Lake na ang kabiguang mabigyan ang mga bata ng sapat na Vitamin A, iron at folic acid habang
sila ay nabubuo sa sinapupunan ng ina,at balanseng pagkain na may malinis na tubig sa unang 2 taon ng
kanilang buhay, ang nagsasadlak sa karamihan sa kanila sa karalitaan.

12 “Stunted doesn’t mean simply short,“ ani Lake sa The Associated Press sa isang panayam. “The child’s brain
never properly develops. Irrevocably. That’s it. You can’t fix it later. You can fix being underweight. You can’t
fix being stunted after age 2.“

14 Si Lake ay nasa Dublin para pasinayaan ang mga natuklasan sa report sa isang pagpupulong na nakapokus sa
paglaban sa pagkagutom at malnutrisyon. Ipinakita niya ang slides sa CAT scans ng utak ng mga batang nahinto
ang paglaki, na may mas mahinang cell at nerve development.

16 “What this means is, for the remainder of that child’s life, irrevocably the child will learn less in school, will
earn less later, is more vulnerable to disease,“ aniya. “This is a tragic violation of that child’s life, but it’s also a
tremendous strain on that society.“

18 Natuklasan sa UN report na 24 na bansa ang may pinakamataaas na antas ng mga nabansot na bata ay
nakatipon sa sub-Saharan Africa at South
Asia. Mahagit kalahati sa mga nasa edad 5 pababa sa Timor-Leste, Burundi, Niger at Madagascar ang biktima
ng stunting. Ang bansang may
pinakamalaking bilang ng nabansot na bata ay ang India na mayroong 61.7 milyon.

21 Nang tanungin kung saang bahagi ng mundo ang higit na nangangailangan ng atensiyon, sinabi ni Lake na
maaari lamang siyang mag-alok ng “a
sad litany of how many spots there are.“

23 Binigyang diin ni Lake na ang pagtitiyak ng maayos na paglaki sa panahon ng unang dalawang taon ng
buhay ay hindi lamang nangngaahulugang kumain ng marami.

25 “People too often assume if you get enough food to eat, you’re getting enough nutrition to head off
malnutrition or stunting. The fact is you can eat lots of food and not get enough nutrients,“ aniya.

27 Sinabi niyang ang tao sa Third World ang partikular na nangangailangang tumuon sa pagpapasuso sa unang
anim na buwan ng bata dahil ang pagbigay sa bata sa maduming tubig ay maaaring magdulot ng pagtatae, isa
sa pangunahing dahilan ng pagkamatay sa mga maralitang bansa. Sinabi ni Lake na ang pagtatae o diarrhea,
hindi man napatay ang bata, ay nilalabas ang nutrisyon na mayroon ang bata at binabansot siya.
