VI. Reading comprehension- Read the following passages carefully and answer the following questions
by encircling the letter of your answer.

At the Movies

It was one of those terribly hot days in Lucena. We always had those for about a month between July and
August. They were the days that were so hot that they made you regret ever wishing it would be summer.
That day in particular was hotter than I could remember it being. The weatherman on the radio
said it would get up to 104!

Needless to say, it was too hot to do anything outside. But it was also scorching in our apartment. This
was 2013, and I would not live in a place with an air conditioner for another ten years. So my brother and
I decided to leave the apartment to find someplace indoors. I suggested the drug store, because I wanted
to get a soda. But he reminded me that the drug store would not let you sit there all day, especially once
the afternoon rush started. My brother instead suggested we could see a movie. It was a brilliant plan.

Movie theaters were one of the few places you could sit all day andmost importantsit in air
conditioning. In those days, you could buy one ticket and sit through both movies of a double feature.
Then, the theater would show the same two movies again after that. If you wanted to, you could sit
through them twice. Most people did not do that, but the manager at our theater, Mr. Bellow, did not mind
if you did.

That particular day, my brother and I sat through both movies twice, trying to escape the heat. We bought
three bags of popcorn and three sodas each. Then, we sat and watched The Music Man followed by The
Man Who Shot Liberty Valance. Wed already seen the second movie once before. It had been at the
theater since January, because Mr. Bellow loved anything with John Wayne in it. Watching it again was
better than going outside, and at least The Music Man was new to us.

We left the theater around 8, just before the evening shows began. Mr. Bellow was expecting a big crowd
for the premier of Wonderful World of the Brothers Grimm, so he insisted that we leave. But we returned
the next day and saw the same two movies again, twice more. And we did it the next day too. Finally, on
the fourth day, the heat wave broke.

Still, to this day I can sing half the songs in The Music Man and quote half of John Wayne and Jimmy
Stewarts dialogue from The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance! Those memories are some of the few I have
of the heat wave of 2013, and theyre not really my memories. Theyre really memories of the screen, not
memories of my life.

theater
C. that the memories are actually those of the narrators brother, not the narrator himself or herself
D. that he or she saw the films too many times and now can only remember what happened in them

Funding

While is it clear that understanding the social, cultural, religious, and occupational beliefs and needs of the
surrounding population is essential, it is also absolutely necessary that we discuss another aspect of the project:
funding. The cost of design is estimated to be P500,000. The cost of materials is estimated to be P750, 000. The cost
of labor is estimated to be P1,000,000. These costs are substantial. That is why it is very important that we have a
plan in place to cover them all. It has been confirmed that P500,000 of the cost will be paid for through the generous
donation of William J. Valdez. We are very appreciative of Mr. Valdezs donation, as it covers the cost of design.
However, this does not pay for the entire project. We still need to raise P1,750,000, for materials and labor.

Gold

Gold used in jewelry is mixed with harder metals to add strength and durability. The metals added can
also be used to change golds color, giving it a fashionable rose or white tint, or to lighten or darken the
natural yellow tone of pure gold. Mixtures like these, of less costly metals with more valuable ones, are
called alloys. Copper and silver are the most common metals mixed with gold to make yellow gold
jewelry. White gold is usually made with an alloy of gold and nickel.

The measure of golds purity is called a karat. The higher the karat rating, the higher the amount of pure
gold: 24 karat is pure gold,18 karat is 75% pure gold, 14 karat is 58.5% pure gold, and 9 karat is 37.5%
pure gold. All other things being equal, the higher the percentage of pure gold used in the alloy, the more
valuable and expensive the jewelry will be.
Gold jewelry pieces are usually stamped with a marking to identify the karat amount. While gold that is
24K is too soft for jewelry, 18K, 14K and 9K gold are all appropriate for jewelry, and they all make
pieces that look great and wear beautifully.

1) Which of the following statements best captures the main idea of this passage?
A. Although gold is very valuable, it is also very expensive.
B. Gold jewelry is stamped with its karat weight.
C. Gold jewelry is made using alloys.
D. Colored gold is more valuable than white gold.

A. not used to make rings
B. stamped with 100K
C. an alloy of different metals
D. colorless

3) According to the passage, the use of other metals in gold alloys
I. can be used to make the gold different color
II. makes jewelry more expensive
III. makes gold more flexible

A. I only
B. I and II only
C. II and III only
D. I, II, and III

4) Based on its use in the passage, it can be understood that which of the following is most similar to an
alloy?
A. a karat
B. a blend
C. an ingredient
D. an accessory
