7 Once a black raven wanted to have white feathers like a swan. The raven

8 Birds' eggs are almost as different from each other as are the birds

white eggs. The sparrow lays six or eight speckled eggs. If we should
find a nest with four blue eggs in it, we could be pretty sure that it

9 Once there lived on a mountain near a village an immense giant whose
cruelty kept the people of the village in great terror. However, there

her to come in. As soon as she had done so. Miss Cabot introduced
herself to Mr.............. and begged him to come out and talk with
............., who was waiting outside in the carriage.
15 Joe made up a game which he called "Jac-alack." One person called Jack
must climb a tree and hang by his arms from a low bough. The others
stand behind him and say in unison, "Alas, alack, he fell on his back,"
and while they are saying it, one of them hits Jack with a bean bag. If
Jack can see or guess who did it, he may drop down, and the guilty

21 If I were writing about the rich, I should be inclined to divide them,
according to their attitude toward life, into workers and parasites.
The motto of the worker is, "I owe the world a life," and the motto of
the.................. is, "The.................. owes me a living."
22 Caution, when not present in excess, is a desirable trait. Often it
saves one from disappointment or failure. Occasionally, however, one
finds a person so extremely.................. that his will is
paralyzed and he is totally unable to set about any new undertaking.
Too much.................. is indeed often.................. than too
little.
23 A whale is not a fish, even though it does live in water. A fish has no
lungs, is cold-blooded, and absorbs oxygen from the water through its
gills; but a whale is warm-blooded and has a genuine set of lungs. In
consequence, in bodily structure the is.................. like a
shark, which is a true fish, than it is like a horse.
24 The brook on our farm has many whims. It ripples over bright and shiny
rocks, and falls into a placid little pool so clear that I can see the
pebbles on the bottom and can see myself down there, too. As I look

25 To pant for recognition, to yearn to impress one's personality upon
one's fellow-men, is the essence of ambition. The ambitious person may
think that he merely thirsts to "do something" or "be somebody" but
really what he craves is to figure potently in the minds of others, to
be greatly loved, admired, or feared. To reap a success which no one
.................. does not satisfy the yearnings of the
.................. individual.
26 Washington was a very silent man. Of no man in the world's history do
we have so few sayings of a personal kind. As for talking about
himself, that was something in which he almost never indulged. Yet it
would be a great error to interpret his.................. as an
indication that he was in any sense cold or unfeeling.
27 As a rule, it is more economical to remember things by associating them
clearly and vigorously than by going through many repetitions of them.
Thus, a clear understanding of the causes for the Democratic victory in
the national election in 1916 will be.................. effective in
remembering the fact than a dozen.................. of the statement
"Woodrow Wilson was elected in 1916."
28 Fundamentally, education depends upon the capacity of a person to
profit by past experiences. Past situations modify present and future
adjustments. Education in its broadest sense means acquiring
experiences that serve to.................. existing inherited or
acquired tendencies of behavior.
29 "Naïve" and "unsophisticated" are frequently confused. The former
suggests a type of behavior which is artless, spontaneous, and free
from the restraints of custom. The latter implies fully as great lack
of knowledge of social usage, and, in addition, conduct which is
primitive and perchance inelegant. Thus, the.................. youth
was the first to enter the car, and his.................. little
sister warmly kissed him in the presence of the king. We may also say
that a country boy is.................. with respect to city life and
customs.
