MULTIPLE CHOICE
Directions: Read the questions carefully. Write the letter of the correct answer in your answer sheet.

Please read the following selection and answer the questions correctly.

Although Sherri was only seven years old, people always wanted to know what she wanted to be when
she grew up. Her response was easy, a teacher. She had the perfect picture in her mind what her classes would
look like and how they would behave. The only problem was that she didn't have any worksheets or materials to
give to her imaginary class. In class she watched the teacher walk over to her file cabinet and throw mounds of
unused worksheets in the trash. "What a waste!" Sherri murmured to herself. An idea suddenly blossomed in her
head. She would use the worksheets that had ended up in the trash. After school, when the halls were clear of
students and teachers, she sneaked into Mrs. Smith's class, her first grade classroom and grabbed the discarded
worksheets. Feeling confident that she had accomplished her mission, she walked around the corner with her
new teaching materials under her arms. A loud, booming voice startled her as the janitor yelled, "What are you
doing here? Go home!"

Sherri didn't wait to respond to his questions as she ran out of the school's front doors. As she walked home,
she kept looking behind her to see if the janitor had followed her. Safely home, she closed her bedroom door and
announced to her imaginary students, "Good morning, students. Today you are going to learn about nouns and
verbs. I am going to pass out a few worksheets and explain the assignment to you."

Unto Others
By Mr. Morton

When the Spellman family moved next door to us, my mother swore the Lord himself sent them to test
her good nature. See, our block was pretty quiet until the Spellman’s came. There were some senior citizens,
the newlywed couple, Mr. Tatum the librarian, and us, the Middleton family, and we didn’t live any way like
the Spellman family did. We kept our lawn cut, turned off our lights at 9PM, and went to church every Sunday.
The Spellman’s had a different life style all together. The first thing that you must know is that there were sixteen
of them, all different ages from twin babies to grown men. That part is only relevant because each Spellman had
a loud personality, and sixteen loud personalities is a lot of volume. They played loud music all hours of the day
and night, had crowds of noisy guests coming and going, and every one of those sixteen Spellman’s must have
owned a bike that they kept resting in the front yard.

Living next to those Spellman’s almost drove my mother insane. If she wasn’t shaming them for not
attending mass, or complaining to her sister Jackie about the way the Spellman girls dressed, then she was
shoeing the Spellman’s dogs out of our yard or filing noise complaints with the police. My mother had never
been so busy. She was even organizing a “good neighbors” committee to discuss ways to improve the
neighborhood. All she ever spoke of any more were the Spellman’s and their wrongdoings. One Sunday
afternoon after church service, my mother was driving old Ms. Parker home to her house on the hill when we
got a flat tire. My father was out of town at the time, so it was just me, my mother, and old Ms. Parker. All of
us together might have been able to get the spare tire out of the trunk if we put our wits together; but as far as
changing the tire, let’s just say that we were at the mercy of the good Lord. Since old Ms. Parker lived so far up
that hill, not a lot of traffic drove by us. It had been about fifteen minutes since the last car passed when we
heard the rattling and puttering of an old pick-up truck as it pulled over to assist us.

The Spellman boys ran up on our car like a NASCAR pit crew. Before my mother could even protest,
they had ushered us out of the car, thrown the car on a jack, and took the tire off. “Her spare is flat,” said the
middle one to the big one. “Give her ours,” replied the big one, barely acknowledging the sacrifice. The
Spellman boys whizzed and zoomed around the car and like that we were back on wheels. My mother was
stunned. “I don’t know what to say,” she stammered. The big one said, “Well, the Lord said love thy neighbor,
and we are neighbors, right?” After that my mother started acting like a neighbor.
The next day when the Spellman’s dogs went traipsing through my mother’s flower garden, she put out a bowl
of water for them. When she saw the Spellman girls walking out with nothing but a halter on, she lectured them
about being upright ladies and offered them sweaters. And when she heard the Spellman’s music through our
walls, she tried to dance a little bit. She even invited the Spellman’s to be part of the good neighbors committee.
So she finally took a page from that book she was always thumping and became a good neighbor herself, and
the neighborhood was a better place because of it.

inherent freedoms, and the common good. In addition, coping with the influx of information from
