Kwa muda huo wote, sikujua kuwa angeweza kunifaa kwa lolote. Hata hivyo, siku moja nilielewa ukweli wa kauli kuwa jambo ulisolijua ni kama usiku wa giza. Siku hiyo, nilikuwa nimetulia tuli nje ya kijumba chetu cha msonge. Kijumba hicho kilijiinamia kwa majonzi na sikitiko ungedhani kuwa kingeanguka pu kama kidaka cha mnazi. Hakika, kuwa ndani na nje hakukuwa na tofauti yoyote. Wakati huo, nilikuwa hoi bin tiki kutokana na maradhi yaliyonifyonza nguvu na kuiguguna mifupa yangu daima dawamu. Aisee, ni wazi kama meno ya ngiri kuwa nilikuwa maskini wa nyama na tajiri wa mifupa. Nilikuwa dhaifu kama mkufu. Nzi angetua juu yangu, bi la shaka ningeanguka mithili ya mgomba uliokatwa.

Nilipokuwa papo hapo, nilifungua dafina ya ubongo wangu na kukumbuka nilivyoanza kuugua. Japc husemwa kuwa yaliyopita si ndwele tugange yajayo, mimi nilishikilia kikiki kuwa mavi ya kale hayaachi kunuka, ashakum si matusi. Nilikumbuka siku niliyowasili hospitalini ili nimsaili tabibu chimbuko la madhila yaliyonisibu na kuniletea masaibu chungu nzima. Daktari alinipasulia mbarika kuwa niliugua maradhi ya figo. Afanalek! Nilipigwa na butwaa chakari, nikabaki kinywa achama kama spana. Ukweli usiopingika ni kuwa nilidhani kwamba masikio yangu yalikuwa yakinichezea shere. Ghafla kama mawingu, nilianza kukonda na kukondeana kama ng'onda. Nilitembea kwa takilifu na kupepesuka ungedhani kuwa ni mlevi. Maadamu tulikuwa maskini wa sina sinani, sikuwa na jingine ila kusubiri siku yangu ya kufumwa na mvi wa manaya. Chambilecho wataalam na watalamidhi wa lugha, sililo budi hubidi. Wengine husema, mkono usioweza kuukata ubusu.

Nilizinduliwa kutoka mawazoni na michakacho kwenye majani yaliyokuwa karibu nami kama pua na mdomo. Nilipoangalia kwa makini, nilishangaa mshangao wa shilingi kuzama na pantoni kuelea. Aliyesimama mbele yangu alikuwa Zumbukuku, kijana tuliyesoma naye katika darasa moja. Sawa na jina lake, alikuwa mbumbumbu asiyeweza kuongeza moja kwa moja akapata mbili. Yakini yakinifu, asingeweza kutofautisha mbu, umbu na mbung'o. Takribani kila mwanafunzi katika darasa letu alimdhalilisha na kumtweza ungedhani kuwa ni tambara bovu. Kila tulipofanya mtihani, Zumbukuku aliongoza kutokea nyuma. Yeye ndiye aliyeburura mgwisho katika kila somo. Katika hali hiyo ya kupigwa na bumbuwazi kenyekenye, Zumbukuku alinijuza kiini cha mjo wake. Alinifahamisha kuwa baada ya kutoniona shuleni kwa siku kadhaa, alikata shauri kuwauliza wanafunzi wengine. Aliamini ya wajuzi wa lugha kuwa kuuliza si ujinga, ni kutaka kujua.

Wakati huo wa jua kuaga miti, alikuja kunieleza kwa mapana na marefu kuwa alikuwa amesemezana na wavyele wake kuhusu hali yangu. Alikuwa amewarai kuhusu haja yao ya kunifaa. Aliwakumbusha kuwa ndugu ni kufaana si kufanana. Nilishangaa mithili ya mja aliyeona jua likiwaka usiku aliponifahamisha kuwa wazazi wake walikuwa wamekubali kugharimia matibabu yangu. Aidha, yeye alihiari kutolewa figo moja katika upasuaji huo. Je, nilikuwa katika ndoto ama huo ndio uliokuwa ukweli kamili? Iweje kijana niliyedhani kuwa asingemfaa yeyote kwa lolote wala chochote anipige jeki na kuniaviza kwa kiwango hicho? Hewaa! Umdhaniaye siye kumbe ndiye. Ni nani asiyejua kuwa dau la mnyonge huendeshwa na Mungu?

Siku ya kufanyiwa upasuaji ilipofika, nilikuwa na wasiwasi wa mwasi. Nilitetemeka temtem mithili ya kuku mwenye manyoya haba msimu wa kipupwe. Mtima wangu nao ulidunda kwa jazba nusura ukivunje kifua changu. Hata hivyo, nilipiga moyo konde nisikonde. Nilijitia moyo kwa kauli ya wenye lisani za uhenga kuwa maji ukiyavulia nguo ni lazima uyaoge. Nasaha za mwalimu wangu wa Kiswahili kuwa mja hatindi rehema ali hai duniani zilijiradidi katika masikio yangu wakati huo wote. Baada ya saa kadhaa katika harakati za kufanyiwa upasuaji, niliyafungua macho yangu. Zumbukuku naye alikuwa yu salama salimini. Hali ya kila mmoja wetu ilikuwa shwari bila shari.

Aya ya kwanza inaonyesha kuwa mhusika;
1. hakujua kuwa maisha yake yangefaa kwa lolote.

Ufisadi ni kati ya matatizo yanayolihangaisha taifa letu siku nenda siku rudi. Ufisadi wenyewe umekita mizizi sio tu nchini humu bali pia katika bara zima la Afrika. Umekuwa mithili ya dondandugu lililokataa katakata kusikia dawa. Sijui niseme kuwa juhudi zetu zimeshindwa kulimaliza au nieleze kuwa hakuna mwenye haja ya kulimaliza dudu hili. Kabla ya kuingia uongozini, utawasikia watu mbalimbali wakila yamini kuwa watakabiliana na ufisadi kwa jino na ukucha. Shani hutokea watu hao wanapochukua hatamu za uongozi. Watu walewale walioulaani ufisadi hutokea kuwa mafisadi wakubwa. Wao huwa mithili ya mja aliyeonjeshwa utamu wa asali. Baada ya kuichovya, akaamua kuishi palipo na mzinga ili kutimiza la wahenga kuwa mchovya asali hachovi mara moja. Kadri tunavyozidi kulibembeleza jitu hili, ndivyo taifa letu linavyozidi kuzama katika lindi la dhiki na mashaka. Nchi yetu haipigi hatua kimaendeleo. Inachechemea, inapepesuka isijulikane inakoelekea.

Kwa mujibu wa takwimu za hivi punde, idara ya polisi ndiyo inayoongoza kwa ufisadi. Ufisadi katika idara hii umekithiri kiasi cha maafisa wa trafiki kupokezwa hongo mchana wa jua. Jambo la kuatua moyo ni kuwa maafisa hao wa trafiki wamechukulia hongo hiyo kama haki yao. Madereva na makondakta huwa hawana jingine isipokuwa kuwakabidhi hela hizo shingo upande. Kwa kuelewa kuwa mpiga ngumi ukuta huumiza mkonowe, huwa hawaoni haja ya kushindana na mwenye nguvu. Si walisema wajuao kusema kuwa mwenye nguvu mpishe!

Swali ambalo pengine unajiuliza ni je, madhara ya ufisadi ni gani? Madhara ya ufisadi katika taifa letu yarhekithiri. Ufisadi una madhara makubwa sana kwa uchumi wetu. Maendeleo hurudi nyuma kwa kuwa walio na uwezo wa kihela pekee ndio wanaopata huduma. Inapotokea kuwa watu wawili wanahitaji huduma kutoka katika afisi yoyote, yule aliye na pesa za kutoa hongo ndiye anayepewa huduma huku maskini akiwa ameshika tama kwa masikitiko makuu. Serikali nayo hukosa ushuru wa kutosha kwa kuwa walipa ushuru hukwepa kulipa ushuru kupitia ufisadi. Badala ya kulipa shilingi milioni moja kama ushuru, mtu hupendelea kutoa hongo ya shilingi laki mbili. Serikali hukosa pesa za kufanyia maendeleo na hivyo kuididimiza nchi katika lindi la ufukara. Wawekezaji nao hawawezi wakaanzisha miradi ya maendeleo katika nchi iliyoathirika na ufisadi. Katika nchi kama hiyo, mtu hulazimika kutoa hongo kwa kila jambo. Utoaji huo wa hongo hufanya wawekezaji kujiepusha na nchi kama hiyo.

Ufisadi nao huongeza kiwango cha maovu katika nchi. Wahalifu hufanya matendo yao maovu bila kujali iwapo watashikwa. Wanafahamu kuwa hata wakifumaniwa katika matendo yao ya uhalifu, watatoa hongo na kuachiliwa huru. Mara kwa mara, utaliona gari lililobeba abiria kupita kiasi likipita mbele ya polisi wa trafiki na kumpokeza polisi huyo shilingi hamsini au mia moja. Polisi hulifumbia jicho uovu huo na kuutuliza mfuko wake pesa za hongo. Ni mara ngapi umesikia kuwa mhalifu fulani amekuwa akitiwa mbaroni na kuachiliwa mara kwa mara? Ni kutokana na ufisadi ambapo kiwango cha wizi, ulanguzi wa mihadarati, uporaji na mauaji kimeongezeka.

Jambo jingine ni kuwa ufisadi umeongeza unyanyasaji katika jamii. Umewahi kusikia mtu anayejiona kuwa na uwezo mkubwa akimwuliza mwenzake "Utanipeleka wapi?". Huwa haina maana kuwa mwovu huyo hajatenda kosa. Huwa amemkosea mwenzake lakini hajali. Hajali kwa kuwa hata akishtakiwa, ana uhakika kuwa atatumia pesa zake kuwarambisha asali maafisa wa polisi na kuachiliwa. Ufisadi umejenga jamii ya mnyonge mnyongeni. Aghalabu tunaishi maisha ya 'mnyonge kupata ni mwenye nguvu kupenda". Wajane na mayatima wanapokonywa mali bila kujali. Maskini wanaojaribu kufungua biashara hukandamizwa na matajiri wanaotumia pesa zao ili wajiimarishe zaidi. Si shani kupata visa vya maskini wanaopokonywa mashamba na matajiri wenye tamaa.

Pendekezo langu ni kuwa serikali ijitolee mhanga kuhakikisha kuwa uovu huu umepotea. Maafisa wa kupambana na ufisadi wakae ange na kuchapa kazi usiku na mchana. Wahalifu wa ufisadi wanapotiwa mbaroni, kesi zao zifuatiliwe na kuhakikisha kuwa wameadhibiwa kwa njia inayofaa. Hili litakuwa funzo kwao na kwa wengine wenye nia kama zao. Raia nao wanafaa kukataa njia za mkato. Wafuate njia zinazofaa ili kupata kile wanachohitaji. Vita dhidi ya ufisadi ni vita vya jamii nzima. Vivyo hivyo, faida ya jamii isiyokuwa na ufisadi ni ya kila mmoja wetu.

Kwa mujibu wa aya ya kwanza, ni kweli kuwa;
1. ufisadi ni dondandugu lililokataa kusikia dawa nchini.
2. Kenya ndiyo nchi katika bara la Afrika inayotatizwa na ufisadi.
3. yapo matatizo mengi ambayo yanalisumbua bara la Afrika.
4. Kenya inakumbwa na ufisadi pamoja na matatizo mengine.
Chagua jibu lililo sahihi kulingana na aya ya pili.
1. Madereva na makondakta hutoa hongo ili wasihangaishwe na maafisa wa trafiki.
2. Maafisa wa trafiki hutoa hongo kwa kuwa mwenye nguvu mpishe.

Read the passage below and then answer questions 26-38.

Mutua and I were classmates despite the fact that he was about five years older. Everyone in our class enjoyed his company a lot because he told amusing stories and even dared to make fun of some unpopular teachers. To this day, I cannot say whether or not Mutua was really my friend. Occasionally, he treated me in a manner that was neither kindly nor friendly.

Since we were preparing for the final examinations, the head teacher encouraged us to do evening studies in the school. He thought we would make better use of the time than if we studied at home. Unfortunately, we did very little serious work. Whenever there was no supervision, we engaged in endless mischief.

Mutua and I lived further than all the other pupils. We had to cross a river and climb a steep hill before reaching school. The footpath was covered with thick bushes on either side. Homes in this area were few and far apart. One felt unsafe walking along the path even during the day. At night it was very lonely and quiet; dreadfully quiet. It was said that hyenas and leopards roamed the neighbourhood soon after nightfall and once in a while we did hear the howling of a hyena very distinctly. My blood would freeze. I needed Mutua's company desperately. But I was scared of him because he behaved strangely. He would quicken his pace and begin imitating the wailing of a starving hyena. I would cling to him begging him to stop it but he wouldn't pay any attention. He seemed to enjoy every moment of it. Formless terrors would seize me and I would imagine myself being eaten up by a monster. Like every coward, I must have died many times. Somehow I didn't imagine that Mutua would also suffer if real danger arose.

There was a storm one evening and, on our way home, we discovered that the wooden bridge had been washed away. Normally, it was possible to jump across the river. But it was dark and we didn't know how far the water spread. We stood there undecided. Then we realized that the only option was to attempt to jump across. It was risky. I prayed earnestly. Perhaps, Mutua prayed too.

"You first, coward," Mutua jeered.

I walked a few metres back and then came running at top speed. I landed on dry land on the other side of the river. But I don't know what happened to Mutua because he fell with a splash in the middle of the impatient river. The strong current washed him away and I thought he was gone for good. Then I heard him call me. I was so happy, so relieved. The water had pushed him against the bank where he held on to something and scrambled out. I had never seen such a pitiable sight- he was wet, frightened and terribly embarrassed. I felt sorry for him though a naughty voice kept whispering to me, "Serves him right. He is always teasing me!"

The temptation was great but I could not rejoice at Mutua's bad luck. It was still dark and home was quite a distance away.

It is surprising that Mutua and the writer were classmates because Mutua
1. told many amusing stories.
2. was about five years older.
3. was not really his friend.
4. treated the writer badly.
Why did the head teacher encourage them to do evening studies in school?
1. They were preparing for the final examination.
2. They made better use of the time there

4. They did very little serious work.
Which of the following best explains why the path was lonely?
1. Few people lived in this area.
2. Mutua imitated the wailing of a hyena.
3. There were thick bushes on either side of the road.
4. Hyenas and leopards roamed the neighbourhood.
Mutua was not a good companion because
1. he would not listen to the writer.
2. he enjoyed wailing like a hyena.
3. he enjoyed teasing the writer.
4. he did not behave like a gentleman.
He seemed to enjoy every moment of it... what did Mutua seem to enjoy?
1. Hearing the howling of a hyena at night.
2. Wailing like a hyena and frightening the writer.
3. The fact that the writer could not keep up with him.
4. The fact that he could do what he wanted.
My blood would freeze means that
1. the writer was always frightened at night.
2. the writer's blood would actually freeze.
3. the writer would get terribly afraid.
4. the writer would shiver with cold.
How did the storm make it difficult for Mutua and the writer to get home?
1. They had to jump across the swollen river in the dark.
2. The wooden bridge had probably been washed away.
3. The river overflowed making it impossible to cross.
4. they stood there undecided and it was getting late.
Why does the writer refer to the river as impatient?
1. It was violent and washed away Mutua very quickly.
2. It did not wait for Mutua to get across.
3. Mutua fell with a splash in the middle of the river.
4. The current was strong and Mutua was impatient to cross.
I thought he was gone for good means
1. Mutua had decided to disappear for good.
2. the writer thought he was now all alone.
3. it was a good thing that Mutua had gone.
4. the writer thought Mutua had drowned.
Why do you think Mutua was embarrassed?
1. The writer wanted to laugh.
2. The writer felt sorry for him.
3. He was wet and frightened.
4. Mutua had failed to jump across.
The writer could not openly rejoice because
1. it was still dark and dangerous near the river.
2. he needed Mutua's company as home was still far.
3. Mutua was a bigger boy and could easily beat him up.
4. it is not good to rejoice at other people's bad luck.
Which of the following would be the best title for this passage?
1. The unfortunate experience.
2. The lonely footpath.
3. Mutua falls into the river.
4. Memories of my childhood.

Read the passage below and then answer questions 39-50.

Nature has supplied every animal except man with some covering for his body such as fur, feathers, hair, scales, shells or thick hide. But man has nothing but a thin skin, and for thousands of years human beings must have wandered about the world with no covering - though the earliest men may perhaps have been hairier than modern man.

If someone were to ask us, "Why did human beings start to cover their bodies with clothes?" Most of us would answer, "To keep themselves warm, of course."
It is only when we begin to think about it a little deeper that we realize clothes are worn for a great many reasons that have nothing to do with the climate, or with our need for warmth, at all.

For instance, we wear clothes to some extent in order to decorate ourselves - to make ourselves, if possible, look more dignified or graceful or striking than we are. Even the plainest clothes worn by civilized people have their buttons, belts, collars and so forth arranged in such a way that they form a kind of decoration, and the material itself is of a kind and colour that we think suits us, and is cut or arranged in a way that we think looks nice - though ideas about what looks nice change from time to time.

Besides decorating us our clothes have to link us up with the people amongst whom we live. We feel uncomfortable if they do not 'look right' - if they are not similar to those which other people of our age, sex, country and period are wearing.

Clothes of a specific kind are often worn to show that the wearer has authority or power. The individual wearing them is treated with respect because he occupies a certain office. The judge on the bench, for instance, might look very ordinary and unimpressive figure without his wig and gown. Clothes are an essential part of all ceremonial occasions, whether they are connected with religion, the law, parliament, royalty, the fighting force, the state, or some less important body.

Sometimes, even in civilized countries, people wear some article of clothing, or some jewel or charm, because they believe that it will bring them luck or protect them from evil or illness, or because it is connected with their religious beliefs. None of these reasons for wearing clothes to decorate ourselves, to show our position in the world, for ceremonial purposes, for "luck', to give ourselves dignity and authority - have anything to do with our need for warmth and protection from the weather. And it is possible that prehistoric man worried even less about keeping his body warmer than we do, because civilized people, after having worn clothes for thousands of years, are probably much more sensitive to cold than the men of the Stone Age were.

We know that primitive people who are living now, or were until quite recently, in conditions similar to those in which men lived many thousands of years ago, do not seem to feel the cold as we do.

You would expect to find scales on
1. a tortoise
2. a bird
3. an elephant
4. a fish
It is suggested in the first paragraph that at one time man may have had
1. more hair
2. less hair
3. softer skin
4. a harder skin
What is the main idea in the fourth paragraph?
1. People wear clothes to look different from other people.
2. People wear clothes to improve their appearance.
3. People wear clothes to set new trends in fashions.
4. People wear clothes to keep themselves warm.
The word extent printed in bold in the fourth paragraph, can be best replaced by
1. degree
2. range
3. manner
4. space
The expression suits us as used in the fourth paragraph, means that the material
1. is the right choice for us.
2. fits us well.
3. keeps us warm.
4. is the right price for us.
We feel uncomfortable if they do not look right. This sentence means that our clothes should
1. be similar to those of other people
2. be different from those of other people
3. be striking
4. not look comfortable
According to the passage, special clothes were often worn by
1. farmers.
2. common people.
3. people holding important official positions.
4. traders and shopkeepers
The writer thinks that special clothes
1. must be worn on ceremonial occasions.
2. need not be worn on ceremonial occasions.
3. must be worn on all occasions.
4. make less important ceremonial occasions more impressive.
According to the passage prehistoric people
1. did not feel the cold as much as we do
2. felt the cold as much as we do
3. felt the cold much more than we do
4. did not feel the cold at all
The most important reason for wearing clothes is
1. to bring us luck and protect us from evil.
2. to decorate ourselves on ceremonial occasions.
3. to let other people realize what positions of authority we hold.
4. to keep ourselves warm and protected from the weather.
The phrase for thousands of years can be replaced by all the following except
1. for ages.
2. for years on end.
3. for many years.
4. for several years.
The best title for the passage above would be
1. Why humans have no body coverings.
2. The origin of clothes.
3. Why human beings wear clothes.
4. Animals and the law of nature.
