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

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.

Success often comes to those with humble beginnings. Elvis Aaron Presley was born on January
8, 1935 in Tupelo, Mississippi. He first sang in a church and taught himself to play the guitar, but
he never learned to read music. By 1953, he had moved to Memphis, Tennessee, graduated from
high school. And enrolled in night school to become an electrician. That year, at Sun Records,
Presley recorded a personal record for his mother, a song that was heard by the company’s
president. As a result of the president’s recognition Presley’s first record “That’s All Right
Mama,” was out in 1954.
He toured the South, and in 1955 five of his record were released simultaneously. His first
national television appearance was that year of Jackie Gleason’s “The Stage Show.” But Presley
became known for his appearance on “The Ed Sullivan Show,” where young singer gyrated as he
sang “rock n’ roll” music. During the live television performance, Presley wad photographed
only from the waist up because his motions were considered obscene.
“Elvis the Pelvis” began his film career in 1956 with LOVE ME TENDER and signed a long-
term film contract. The movie critics were not always kind, but teenagers flocked to Presley’s
films. Within a few short years, Presley had established a career that would span twenty-five
years of ups and down and make him one of the most popular entertainers in history. Long after
his untimely death at age 42, Presley would be remembered as “The King of Rock n Roll.”

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.
A. Bayan C. Kabataan
B. Kung D. Nabansot
A. Diwa C. Sulat
B. Salita D. Gawa

11. The amount of your retirement benefits from Social Security depends, in part, on when you
retire. The earliest that you can begin to receive benefits is age 62. 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. If you wait to receive benefits past your full
retirement age, the amount you receive will continue to increase until you reach age 70. There is
no advantage to waiting past age 70 to begin receiving benefits. You can continue to work while
you receive retirement benefits. If you do, the amount of your benefits will be reduced by one
dollar for every two dollars you earn above a certain limit, until you reach your full retirement
age. Once you reach your full retirement age, this limit no longer applies. The amount you earn
will have no effect on your benefits. According to this passage, which of the following
statements is true?
A. You cannot receive retirement benefits from Social Security while you are still working.
C. If you continue to work past your full retirement age, your benefits will be reduced by one
dollar for every two dollars you earn.
