At her death in 1695 Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz left a remarkable body of writing— religious,
courtly, and popular poems in a wide variety of verse forms; intellectual treatises; religious and
secular plays; a long epistemological poem, ―Primero sueño‖; and an autobiographical essay, the
‗Respuesta a Sor Filotea‖, which, to date, remains the most reliable literary portrait we have of
this woman of genius.

What we know of Sor Juana merely awakens our appetite for further information. We are unsure
of the date of her birth. We do not know whether she ever knew her father. We know
approximately when she was sent to Mexico City to live with her mother‘s sister, but not why. We
can approximate the dates of her life in court under the protection and patronage of the Marqués
and Marquesa de Mancera, but we know nothing of the everyday details of those years. We can
only speculate as to why at the height of her popularity and in the full flush of her beauty she left
the court to enter the convent. In addition to the guesses we can make from her writing, and
besides the autobiographical ―Respuesta‖, and the nearly contemporary biography written by
Father Diego Callejas, we have only a handful of birth, death, and marriage records relating to her
family, and a few papers concerning Sor Juana‘s entrance into and subsequent professions of faith
in first the Carmelite Order, and then the Convent of Saint Jerome, where she died.

―Sor Juana Inés‖ by Margaret Sayers

1. According to the text, biographical material on Sor Juana is :

A) accurate in its general content

B) abundant in chronological information.

C)distorted for the study of her work.

D)insufficient for understanding her life.

2. The reasons Sor Juana entered the convent are

A) clear.
B) dubious.
C) unknown.
D) mystical.

3. When the author says ―the most reliable literary portrait‖, he means that

A) the information is true

B) the details are perfect
C) the details are correct
A) the information is trustful

POLLUTION

People have always found ways to destroy themselves. They went from stones and sticks arrows.
Then came guns—much more powerful. Finally, people made atomic bombs. These are a danger
to us and to the earth. In some places, people have damaged land by too much farming or too
much grazing. Without grass or trees, rain may wash away the soil. Sometimes soil is blown away
by strong winds. But people have found another way to harm themselves arid the earth. It doesn‘t
blow up. There is no loud noise. In fact, people don‘t even know it happens. It is done by chance,
but it´s here. It is pollution: the poisoning of the water, hand and air. The poisons are chemicals,
garbage, and wastes of all kinds. Air is dirtied by smoke and by the gases from automobiles and
airplanes. Soil may be harmed by chemicals. Rivers and lakes are polluted. So are the oceans
where cities are on the chores. Wastes have even been found floating in parts of the middle of the
oceans. There they kill the small plants and animals that fish need for food. Think about the last
time you went swimming in a river or a lake. Did the water really look clear and pure? It was it
dirty and unpleasant to swim in? What do you see when you look out your window in the morning
or early evening? Is there a line of haze*? Can you see the hills, mountains, or buildings clearly?. Is
anyone doing anything to clean up the air? How many ugly junkyards** are there in your
neighborhood? Why are they there?

Hachi went to a Tokyo railroad station to see his master off for work, as usual, one day in 1925.
that evening at 5 o‟clock, he went to meet the train on which his master always came home. The
