Read the passage below and answer the questions 26 to 38.
The birds were singing merrily on the trees as the sun rose majestically in the eastern harizon. The lone hunter walked the beaten forest path. A bitter morning chill numbed his body. He knew the warmth of the sun would drive away the cold as the day progressed.

The hunter had come to inspect his traps this early. It was another market day and he prayed one of his traps might have trapped a game that he wished to barter meat with foodstuffs and everything else that would be of interest to him.

The day was growing old and the hunter was a bit disappointed. His traps had seemingly caught nothing. Yet in one trap, there were feathers and bones. An animal had managed to have eaten what appeared to be a big bird caught in it.

The fifth trap yielded something. There was a strange animal, the animal he had never seen before. It was struggling to free itself and the hunter quickly took an arrow from his quiver and fixed it to his bow. The animal realising the danger, gave a very loud cry begging for its life.

"Spare me and I will be of help to you," the animal said to the hunter. The surprised hunter regarded the animal and lowered his bow.
"How will you help me?" asked the hunter.
"I will help protect your life and also aid you in hunting, said the animal.

The hunter freed the trapped animal and was surprised to see it following him faithfully. Man and the animal walked together as the hunter went on inspecting his other traps. As the two walked, the animal stood alert and tensed near a bush, then gave out a very loud noise. "Bow, wowowo wow wow!

The hunter looked at the bush and saw some movements there. He quickly fixed his arrow to the bow. Immediately, a leopard jumped out of the bush. The hunter let the arrow fly and it struck the leopard in the heart and it fell before getting to the hunter. The hunter was pleased that his life had been saved by his new animal friend. The animal is now called the dog and is man's best friend.

Read the passage below and the answer the questions 39 to 50.
The well to do citizens owned land outside the city, and probably had trading interests too. There were a great many skilled craftsmen as well as labourers, who may have been either freemen or slaves.

In Athens, all freeborn citizens, rich or poor had a share in the government and vote in the election of their millitary commander. This gave them a feeling of service towards their city, so that it became quite common for a private citizen to pay for the fitting -out of a worship or for the training of the chorw in a play. He would do so simply for the good of his city.

Slavery was looked upon as a necessity to enable the freemen to pursue the arts of a civilized living. In Athens, there was a large class of slaves, from the clever craftsmen and scribes, who were well-trained and house-slaves who performed menial task, to the lowest class who toiled in chains in the quarries and silver mines.

As the house had no garden, the children played in the courtyard. Knuckle bones, ball, pick-a- back, tops and hoops were popular games. Girls did not go to school but boys were taken there by an old slave called a "pedagogue". He took them to the teacher, where they learned to read and write, to play a musical instrument and to say by heart passage from Homer.

At eighteen, an Athenian boy became a citizen and promised to defend his country and obey the laws. He spent a year or two in millitary training, and then if his family was well-to-do, he attended the academy for training in athletics, boxing, wrestling and chariot racing.

Naikumbuka siku hiyo vizuri kana kwamba ilikuwa ni jana au juzi tu. Kama kawaida, mama alikuwa ameenda cheteni kuuza mboga na matunda. Baba naye alikuwa ameandama shughuli zake za uashi katika jengo moja huko mjini. Ilikuwa kawaida yangu kubaki na mnuna wangu. Basi siku ile, ilivyokuwa ada, nilimlisha, nikamwosha na kumvika yale tuliyoita mavazi japo hayakusetiri viungo vyetu barabara. Hata hivyo mtaa wetu ulisheheni watoto kufu yetu, wengine hata hali zao za kiafya, mavazi na mtindo wa maisha kwa jumla zilikuwa mbaya zaidi.

Mabanda tuliyoita nyumbani yalisongamana sana. Mara nyingi, sisi watoto tulienda kuchezea katika eneo moja wazi lililokuwa katikati ya reli na barabara moja pale mtaani. Eneo hili lilikuwa na jaa lililohanikiza uvundo wa kila aina. Hapo ungewaona walalahoi waliozumbua riziki yao kwa kusaka vyuma, fnakombo na chupa za plastiki mumo humo jaani. Waling'ang'ania nafasi hii na nguruwe, mbuzi, ng'ombe na ndege wa porini kama kunguru. Wageni nao walichepukia mbali kidogo huku wakiziba pua zao kujisetiri na uvundo huo uliokirihi. Ajabu ni kuwa kile kilichoonekana kama taka na wengine kiligeuka chanzo cha kupata riziki kwa idadi kubwa ya viumbe.

Tulipiga milundi, tukavuka mitaro ya majitaka na kujipenyeza katikati ya mabanda. Hatimaye tulifika kwenye eneo lile la kuchezea. Mara kwa mara nilimshika ndugu yangu mkono, asije kubwagwa na mahamali ambao aghalabu walipita bila simile. Tuliwakuta wenzetu ambao aghalabu walicheza katika makundi. Michezo ilipangwa kulingana na hirimu ya wachezaji wenyewe. Wadogo wetu walishiriki kibe, gungwi na kibafute miongoni mwa michezo mingine. Kwa upande wetu, tulitumia karatasi kujitengenezea mipira ili angaa tushiriki kipute.

Mchezo ulipokuwa umetunogea, nilisikia Rindo kikali si mbali sana kutoka pale tulipokuwa. Shughuli zote zilisitishwa ghafla kila mmoja adaposhikulikoshuhudiwa kishindo kile. Akili zangu ziliduru mara moja kwani sikumbha mugu Sijui nilikopata nguvu kama za buldoza nikausukuma umati hadi pale katikati. Mnung vangura kuwa amelala kingalingali huku akivuja damu kwa wingi. Alikuwa katika hali ya kutisha Wenzake walikuwa wakijaribu kumpangusa ngeu ile huku wakimwita licha ya umri wao mdogo.

Nilikimbia huku na kule nikilia kama mwchu. Kwa nyota ya jaha, msamariamwema mmoja alisimamisha gari akamchukua majeruhi. Mama mmoja alinishika mkono tukaingia garini huku likiondoka kwa kasi. Safari yetu ilitia nanga katika hospitali moja ya kibinafsi. Wahudumu walishikilia kuwa ndugu yangu asingehudumiwa minghairi ya kutoa arbuni. "Vipi nyinyi! Yaani mnathamini fulusi zaidi ya uhai wa binadamu? Mbona hivi lakini.?" Msamariamwema yule alisaili kwa ukali.

Hali ilipozidi kutokota, alitoa kitambulisho chake cha kazi. Kumbe alikuwa mhariri mkuu katika idhaa moja ya runinga. Wauguzi na matabibu walipoyaona haya, walimchukua mnuna wangu kwa haraka na kumpeleka katika chumba cha matibabu ya dharura. Yamkini waliogopa kuwa uozo na ubaguzi katika utoaji huduma pale hospitalini ungemulikwa na kuisambaratisha biashara yao.

Mkurugenzi wa hospitali ile alimwita chemba msaidizi wetu. Sijui walijadiliana kuhusu nini. Hatimaye niliruhusiwa kuingia katika wodi kumwona mdogo wangu ambaye alikuwa amelala na kutulia baada ya kupewa dawa ya kupunguza maumivu. Kule nje, shughuli ziliendelea kana kwamba hakuna lolote lililojiri. Kwa wengine, mkasa uliotusibu haukuwahusu ndewe wala sikio.

Mbio za sakafuni huishia ukingoni. Muda mfupi baadaye, polisi walifika na kueleza kwamba walishamtia nguvuni dereva aliyesababisha ajali kwa kuendesha gari kwa kasi huku amepiga maji. Waliomba idhini ya kunihoji ili wapate taarifa zaidi. Hata sikumbuki niliyowaambia kwani akili yangu ilikuwa kwa mnuna wangu wakati huo wote.

Malezi ya watoto yamekumbwa na changamoto anuwai. Hali hii inatishia mustakabali wa jamii kwani huenda tukakosa wa kupokeza usukani wakati utendakazi wetu utakapodidimizwa na umri. Hatua za dharura na za hakika hazina budi kuchukuliwa ikiwa tunataka kuliokoa jahazi letu kabla halijagonga mwamba. Lau sivyo, tutaishia kujiuma kidole mambo yakituendea mrama.

Hapo zamani, jukumu la kuwatunza watoto lilikuwa la jamii nzima. Hakika ilijulikana na wote kuwa mkono mmoja haumlci mwana. Hata pale wazazi wa mtoto walipotangulia mbele ya haki kabla mtoto mwenyewe hajakomaa na kuwa mtu mzima, walezi wengine walichipuka miongoni mwa familia, majirani au hata jamaa wengine ambao hawakuhusiana na mtoto huyo kwa damu wala usaha. Kwa njia hiyo, watoto wote walipata malezi yafhayo katika jamii.

Siku hizi mambo yamebadilika sana. Wavycle wengi wanawajali tu wanao huku wakiwapuuza mayatima na watoto. Kwa kukosa walezi wa kuwatunza, watoto wengine wasiobahatika katika jamii. Si ajabu kumwona mtoto akifanya mambo ya kuhatarisha maisha yake au wanajamii wengine huku watu wazima wamemkodolea macho tu na kujitia hamnazo. Ukiwasaili kuhusu kiini cha hali hiyo, watakujibu kuwa wanaogopa kubwekewa na wazazi wa mtoto huyo au 'Kila mmoja ajibcbee mzigo wake'. Wasilolijua watu kama hawa ni kuwa mtego wa panya huwanasa waliokuwemo na wasiokuwemo. Athari za matendo mabaya katika jamii hazichagui ni nani atakayehasirika.

Kuwanyima watoto malezi yafaayo kumewasababishia dhiki chungu nzima katika jamii. Kati ya dhiki hizo ni ajira ya watoto wenyewe hutafuta ajira za kijungujiko ili kujikimu. Wengi wa hawa hufanyishwa kazi za sulubu ambazo huwaathiri kiafya na ukuaji wao kwa jumla. Ilali hii aidha huendeleza ukuaji zaidi kwani hawapati fursa ya kubugia elimu ambayo ingewabadilishia mustakabali wao.

Kuna wale ambao huangukia mikono ya watu katili ambao huwaingiza katika ndoa za mapema, mila potovu kama vile wizi wa mifugo na dhuluma za kimapenzi. Madhalimu hao hawabagui umri wala jinsia bali huwakandamiza watoto hao bila kujali.

Jamii haina budi kuchukua hatua zifaazo kuhusiana na malezi ya watoto. Hili likipuuzwa, huenda tukaishia kujenga ukuta baada ya kupuuza kuziba ufa. Yeyote. asijipakatic mikono, na kusema 'kila mtoto ana mzazi au jamaa zake Tujue kuwa walezi wa kweli ni mimi na wewe. Tujali maslahi ya watoto na kuwalindia haki zao.
