"Mom, have you seen my hat?" Derrick asked as he fumbled around his room.
Picking up a sombrero, Mom replied, "You mean this one?"
"No, Mom, my baseball cap."
"Well, you should wear this hat. It will protect you from the Sun better."
"Nah, I like my baseball cap more," Derrick answered.
"I don't get it," Mom said. "You begged and pleaded for this sombrero when we were on vacation in Santa Fe. I tried to talk you out of it because I knew you'd never wear it. You promised that you would. I paid $30, and you haven't worn it once."
"But, Mom . . ."
"Don't 'But Mom' me, Mister. Here's the deal. You will earn the money to pay me back, or you will wear this sombrero out somewhere at least once within the next week. You've got to think about the effects of wasting money. If I have buyer's remorse over that hat, you should too. You need to fully consider whether or not you'll use what you ask for. Which choice will it be?"
"Raising $30 will take forever," Derrick said and sighed. "Okay, I'll wear the hat, Mom, but I'll look silly compared to everyone else. None of the other kids wear sombreros."
As the days passed, Derrick wasn't sure where he could wear his hat without looking out of place. School was out of the question. Baseball practice was out, too. Derrick didn't even want to consider wearing it to church.
At the end of the week, Mom asked Derrick, "You want to grab some Mexican food from Amigos?"
Derrick bolted to his room and grabbed his sombrero.
When he returned, Mom added, "You'll probably still be the only one in a sombrero."
"I know, but Amigos is still the best possible place to wear it," said Derrick. "Thanks, Mom."

To the Younger Me
have realized that reflecting is a very significant part
of life. I believe that it is something that every person should
do if he/she desires change and progress. It can also give a
person the chance to ponder about his/her decisions in life.
Looking back. I know that you will agree with me
that there are things that we wished we should have
and should have not done. I am sure you have the
same questions running into your mind like. "What if
made a different decision? Would it have made a
great difference?". Well, I am confident that everything
happens for a reason.
a
However, we cannot deny that most of the things
happening to us are repercussions of our choices. Thus,
thinking critically before making decisions is a must. Do
not speak and act out of impulsive emotions. Because in
life, a second chance does not always come for free.

Question 1
Item 1
(The following passage is excerpted from a textbook published by an American and a Dutch scientist in the 1950s.)

Science is often defined inadequately as “an organized body of knowledge.” This would make cookbooks, Sears, Roebuck catalogues, and telephone books science, which they are not. Sometimes science is defined simply as rationality, but that would make much of theology and metaphysics science, which they are not. Rationality is logical consistency, lack of contradiction. It is to be distinguished from reasonableness, the quality of a mind open to arguments and evidence opposed to its beliefs: a willingness to reconsider. Rationalists can be quite unreasonable or dogmatic. Rationalist metaphysicians and theologians are often certain about premises which come from intuition or revelation. Even paranoiacs may be thought of as rationalists, for they are commonly most rigorous in reasoning. But their premises, which they cling to in spite of all evidence, are absurd.

WHAT SCIENCE IS

Science is empirical, rational, general, and cumulative; and it is all four at once. Science is empirical in that all its conclusions are subject to test by sense experience. Observation is the base on which science rests, but scientific observation is more than keeping one’s eyes open. It is observation made by qualified observers under controlled conditions of those things which confirm or disconfirm, verify or refute a theory. Sherlock Holmes* could tell by the stains on a vest what a man had eaten for breakfast. From a number of such observations he arrived at a theory about why and how a particular crime was committed. This procedure is excellent for detection but insufficient for science, because it yields only knowledge of particular events. Science would go on to ask why and how crime, not a particular crime, is committed. Science uses facts to test general theories and general theories to make predictions about particular facts.

Scientific observations may be made of things as they exist, like the color of an apple or the temperature of the air, or it may be made of what results from an experiment. An experiment is the deliberate manipulation of conditions in order to bring about what we want to observe. If we want to test the hypothesis that a new plastic can withstand two hundred pounds of pressure without crumbling, we may have to create a situation in which such pressure is applied to a piece of the plastic, because it is unlikely that the situation already exists anywhere in the world, or if it does, that all other factors are kept constant. In some sciences, like astronomy, we do not sufficiently control the subject matter to experiment on it—although we do control the conditions of observation—and we distinguish those sciences from others, like chemistry, in which experiment is possible, by calling the latter “experimental sciences.”

Although all scientific thought ultimately rests on observation, there are vast portions of it which are entirely rational: analysis of the meaning of terms, deductions from existent theories, explorations of the logical relations among concepts and among theories. Logic is applied to science constantly because logic contains the rules of valid thinking. The application of mathematics is often thought, erroneously, to be an index of the status of any science. Of course, the more it can be applied usefully within a science, the more advanced the science. For mathematics functions both as a language in which scientific laws are stated, giving them the utmost precision, elegance, and economy, and as the basis of measurement. Many of the most significant advances in physics, astronomy, and chemistry have depended on advances in and application of mathematics. Without calculus the work of Isaac Newton would have been impossible. Yet great scientific work in other fields, performed by men like Pasteur, Darwin, and Pavlov (with whose names pasteurization, evolution, and conditioned response in psychology are associated), has used little or no mathematics.

In the second sentence of the first paragraph, the authors mention cookbooks, catalogues, and telephone books primarily to
