Read the selection below. Then, answer the questions that follow. Write the letter of
your chosen answer on your answer sheets.
_____1. Which is NOT an observed change in our body when we get angry?
a. Our face turns red. c. Our shoulders become stiff.
b. b. Our heart beats faster. d. Our breathing becomes slow.

a. Anger may hurt others.
b. Anger is not a feeling you should show to other people.
c. Anger may cause us to create positive change in the world.
d. Anger may cause us to be motivated to act on something.
EFFECTS OF ANGER
Anger is often viewed as harmful. It does not only affect the person feeling this
anger but those around him or her. As these feelings get stronger, changes occur in our
body. Our faces turn red and carry a frown. Our teeth are clenched and our hands are
closed tight. Our breathing becomes heavy and this makes our heart beat faster. Our
shoulder and neck muscles become stiff and our blood pressure begins to rise. All these
things happen because our body is preparing for something. It is preparing for action.
However, this action does not have to be harmful. People are often guilty about
feeling angry. But, anger can be viewed positively. Feelings of anger tell you that
something is not right and that something needs to change. The challenge lies in making
sure that actions resulting from anger will help rather than harm. Expressing our feelings
can help others understand the source of our anger rather than fear its consequences.

Noting Details is a reading comprehension skill that involves picking out,
from a piece of text, the particular piece or pieces of information to achieve a given
purpose.It is one of the advanced skills that a good reader possesses. This skill
enables the reader to fully understand a certain text and helps to unlock the
questions he/she has before, during, and after reading.
How to note details?
1. Always read the story with full understanding and internalize the lines
printed.
2. Jot down notes or highlight texts. You will know that you’re doing the right

follow. Write your answer on your answer sheet.
1. What is sternutation?
a. the voluntary process of expelling dirt and dust from inside our nose
b. the involuntary process of removing an irritation inside the nose
c. a person’s natural reaction to bright light

b. pepper-induced sternutation d. Sneezing when exposed to pollen
4. Which of the following does NOT help to create a sneeze?

5. Why must we cover our nose when we sneeze?
a. to prevent the further intake of pepper powder
b. to prevent the allergens from multiplying
c. to prevent irritants from spreading
d. to prevent ourselves from sneezing
Sneezing
Sneezing happens when our body is trying to remove an irritation found
inside the nose. A special name for this process is sternutation. How does a sneeze
happen? When your nose is tickled, the sneeze center in our brain receives a
message. Soon, the other parts of the body that work together to create a sneeze
such as the abdominal muscles, chest muscles, the diaphragm, the muscles of the
vocal chords, the back of the throat, and the eyelids receive this message. An
explosion as fast as 161 kilometers per hour sends the irritant speeding out of your
nose. Examples of irritants in the air are dust, pepper, or allergens such as pollen.
Some experience having a photic reflex and sneeze as soon as they are under the
bright sun. Now, if it ever happens that a sneeze of yours gets stuck, look towards a
bright light to unstick your stuck sneeze.

10. Which of the following statements is NOT true about the brain?
a. Our brain makes connections.
b. Our brain never stops thinking.
c. Sleeping is our brain’s way of shutting down.
d. Our brain replays our experiences as we sleep.
DREAMS
We often say “Sweet dreams,” but have you ever wondered why we dream? Some
say that dreaming is our brain’s way of exercising. While we sleep, our brain may be
testing the connections and pathways to see if they are working well. Others believe that
dreaming is our brain’s way of sorting out problems. Problems that have not been
addressed during the day are sometimes resolved in our sleep. Yet another explanation is
that dreaming is our brain’s way of fixing and organizing all the information we have. While
sleeping, our brains have a chance to sort out the information that we want to keep from
the stuff we no longer want. Still another idea is that dreams are just another form of
thinking. Will we ever get to know the answer to this question? Maybe we should sleep on
it.

PhilHealth to collapse by 2022 if pandemic persists, warns exec
By: Maila Ager - Reporter / @MAgerINQ
INQUIRER.net / 01:16 PM August 04, 2020
MANILA, Philippines — There will be no more Philippine Health Insurance Corp. (PhilHealth)
by 2022 if the coronavirus pandemic persists, an official warned on Tuesday.
“By next year po, wala na po tayong reserve funds. So one year lang po ang ating
actuarial life,” Nerissa Santiago, Acting PhilHealth Senior Vice President, and Concurrent
Vice President of Data Protection Officer, said during the Senate hearing on alleged
widespread corruption within the state health pension fund.
Santiago was responding to queries of Senate Minority Leader Franklin Drilon, who
was inquiring about the actuarial life of PhilHealth.
“So you’re saying that the actuarial life of PhilHealth is only one year?” Drilon
asked. “Are you saying that in 2022 there will be no more PhilHealth?”
“Yes sir,” Santiago replied.

AIR CURRENTS
Wind is the natural movement of the air from one place to another. It affects the
climate of a place. There are three major air streams that greatly affect our climate. From
November to February, mornings are colder because of the northeast monsoon wind. It
blows from Siberia which is a very frigid place. It brings along temperature and rain that make
us shiver. The wind from June to October, is warm and humid. During this time, the western
section of our country experiences strong rains brought about by the southwest monsoon
wind blowing from Australia. From March to early May, trade winds coming from the east or
northeast reach the Philippines. It brings rains to the eastern part of our country. Trade winds
are warm and moist and bring hot temperature with little rain. Isn’t it amazing that each one
of these air streams brings some amount of rain to the Philippines?

AIR CURRENTS
Wind is the natural movement of the air from one place to another. It affects the
climate of a place. There are three major air streams that greatly affect our climate.
From November to February, mornings are colder because of the northeast monsoon
wind. It blows from Siberia which is a very frigid place. It brings along temperature and
rain that make us shiver. The wind from June to October, is warm and humid. During
this time, the western section of our country experiences strong rains brought about by
the southwest monsoon wind blowing from Australia. From March to early May, trade
winds coming from the east or northeast reach the Philippines. It brings rains to the
eastern part of our country. Trade winds are warm and moist and bring hot
temperature with little rain. Isn’t it amazing that each one of these air streams brings
some amount of rain to the Philippines?
