The text for questions number 6-10!
In the beginning there lived one man and one woman, Toglai and Toglibon. Their first children were a boy
and a girl. When they were old enough, the boy and the girl went far away across the water seeking a good place to
live. Nothing more was heard of them until their children, the Spaniards and Americans, came back. After the first boy
and girl left, other children were born to the couple; but they all remained at Cibolan on Mount Apo with their parents,
until Toglai and Toglibon died and became spirits. Soon after that there came a great drought which lasted for three
years. All the waters dried up, so that there were no rivers, and no plants could live.
“Surely,” said the people, “Manama is punishing us, and we must go elsewhere to find food and a place to
dwell in.”
So they started out. Two went in the direction of the sunset, carrying with them stones from Cibolan River.
After a long journey they reached a place where there were board fields of cogon grass and an abudance of water,
and there they made their home. Their children still live in that place called Magindanau, because of the stones which
the couple carried when they left Cibolan.
Two children of Toglai and Toglibon went to the south, seeking a home, and they carried with them with
women’s baskets (baraan). When they found a good spot, they settled down.
Their descendants, still dwelling there, are called Baraan or Bilaan, because of the women’s basket.
So, two by two the children of the first couple left the land of their birth. In the place where each settled a
new people developed, and thus it came about that all the tribes in the world received their names from things that
the people carried out of Cibolan, or from the places where they settled.
All the children left Mount Apo except two (a boy and a girl). Hunger and thirst had made them too weak to
travel. One day when they were about to die the boy crawled out to the field to see if there was one living thing, and
to his surprise he found a stalk of sugarcane growing lustily. He eagerly cut it, and enough water came out to refresh
him and his sister until the rains came. Because of this, their children are called Bagobo.
6. How many children did Togla and Toglibon have?

a. It is not stated in the text d. Four

b. Two e. Six
c. Three
7. Who are descended from the Spaniards and Americans?

a. The children who remained on Mount Apo with their parents

b. The children who remained at Cibolan
c. Toglai and Toglibon’s first children
d. The children who were born after the first children left
e. The children who were called Magindanau
8. Why did the children of Toglai and Toglibon leave Cibolan?

a. Because the Spaniards came to the Philippines

b. Because their parents passed away
c. Because they came a great drought which lased for three years
d. Because the region where they lived was inundated with water
e. Because they went far away across the waters seeking a good place to live
9. ”Surely,” said the people, ”Manama is punishing us, and we must go else where to find food and a place to dwell.”
What does Manama probably mean?

a. Father d. God
b. Mother e. Spirit
c. Children
10. Why didn’t the last two children leave Mount Apo?

a. They were about to die d. Tthey found a stalk of sugarcane

b. They waited for rainfall e. They were too weak to travel
c. They loved their land very much

The text for questions number 11-13!
 There have been a number of important American novelists in this century, but F. Scott Fitzgerald is one of
the more interesting ones. Born in 1986 and educated in Princeton, he wrote novels that describe the pots-war
American society, very much caught up in the rhythms of jazz.
In 1920, the same year that he published his first book. This Side of Paradise, he married Zelda Sayre, also
a writer. His most famous book. The Great Gatsby, appeared in 1925.
Fitzgerald had a great natural talent, but he became a compulsive drinker. A brilliant success in his youth, he
never made the adjustments necessary to a maturing writer in changing world. His later novels, All the Sad Young
Men, Tender is the night; and The Last Tycoon, were less successful, so that when he died in 1940his books were
out of print and he had been almost forgotten.
His reputation now is far greater than it was in his lifetime, especially since the film version of his novel The
Great Gatsby was released.
