Soma taarifa ifuatayo kisha ujibu maswali kutoka 31 hadi 40.

Ni nani mwenye akili razini awezaye kupata hata lepe la usingizi usiku kama huo? Niligaagaa kitandani huku nimetawaliwa na kiwewe na wasiwasi uliopiku ule wa mwasi. Niliwaza na kuwazua jinsi siku iliyofuata ingekuwa keshoye, ilikuwa siku ya kutangazwa kwa matokeo ya uchaguzi wa gatuzi letu Uchaguzi huo mdogo ulifanyika baada ya aliyekuwa gavana wetu kufumwa na mvi wa manaya katika ajali ya barabarani. Bila shaka, hakuna aliyetarajia kwamba ningekuwa nambari ya pili, sembuse nambari ya kwanza? Ilikuwa wazi kama pengo kuwa ningeburura mgwisho. Tangu lini mja asiyekuwa na misuli ya kihela akaibuka mshindi katika kinyang'anyiro chochote cha uchaguzi? Licha ya kuwa mkata aliyekatwakatwa na ukata, nilitoka katika kabila lenye watu wachache mno.

Asubuhi ilipofika, nilichukua baiskeli yangu na kuiendesha polepole huku wafuasi wangu wakinishangilia nilipopita. Tuliwasili katika ukumbi wa kaunti ya Ingusi, ambapo matokeo ya uchaguzi huo yangetangaziwa. Ukumbi huo ulijaa sisisi ya watu wake kwa waume, wazee kwa vijana, waliosoma kwa wasiosoma. Mashangingi ya wapinzani wangu yalikuwa yameegeshwa pale nje. Maafisa wa polisi walizunguka hapa na pale ili kuhakikisha kuwa hakuna uhalifu uliotokea.

Afisa wa tume ya uchaguzi alipokichukua kinasasauti, kila mtu alitulia tuli kama maji mtungini. Kimya cha makaburini kilitanda kote, hata unywele ungedondoka chini ungesikika kama mlipuko wa bomu katika ukimya huo, afisa huyo alikoroma na kupasua ukimya uliokuwa umetawala. "Mshindi wa uchaguzi huu ni Amani Mlachake". Wote walionipinga waliduwaa kama mja aliyedungwa sindano ya ganzi. Wengine wote waliokuwa wakigombea kiti hicho walidhani kuwa walikuwa katika ndoto mbaya. Rafiki yangu Nyangweso na kundi lake la watumbuizaji walianza kupiga isukuti. Akina mama walisakata densi ya mabega yao. Vijana wenzangu waliniinua juu kwa furaha. Sherehe na shangwe hizo zilifanyika bila kujali mipaka ya ukabila.

Hewaa! Jua la mabadiliko lilikuwa limechomoza. Hiyo ilikuwa siku mpya. Tofauti na hapo awali, uchaguzi wa kiongozi ulikuwa umefanyika bila kuzingatia kuwa mkono mtupu haulambwi. Wale waliodhani kuwa wangechaguliwa madhali walikuwa wakiwarambisha wapigakura asali walinamisha vichwa vyao kwa tahayuri Walikuwa wamekula inwande. Aidha, waliokuwa wakijipiga kifua kuwa kiongozi alichaguliwa kwa kuegemea dhana ya ukubwa wa kabila lake waliinamisha vichwa na kujiendea zao.

Niliutuliza umati uliokuwa umepandwa na jazba. Hamrerehamrere na chereko zilipotulia, nilichukua kinasasauti ili niwashukuru raia walioniunga mkono. "Ninawapa shukrani za dhati kutoka sakafuni pa mtima wangu. Ninawakumbusha kwamba ahadi zote nilizowapa hazikuwa ahadi za Kiswahili. Vilevile, ninawapa shukrani kwa uzalendo wenu. Shughuli za uchaguzi zilifanyika bila fujo wala vurugu. Hata baada ya mshindi kutangazwa, sijaona visa vya uharibifu wa mali kama hapo awali. Nyinyi ni mashujaa na wazalendo kindakindaki."

Ukeketaji ni dhuluma ambayo huendelezwa na baadhi ya jamii humu nchini. Licha ya serikali kujifunga kibwebwe ili kukabiliana na jinamizi hili, bado linatishia kuendelea kuharibu mustakabali wa vijulanga wa kike humu nchini. Kuna viongozi wa kidini hapa nchini ambao huegemea mila na desturi za jadi katika jamii na ambao kisiri huunga mkono ukeketaji, hivyo basi kuhujumu vita dhidi ya ukeketaji. Pia hali ni tofauti kabisa ambapo shughuli hiyo ambayo zamani iliendeshwa kisiri vichakani hasa huko mashinani, leo hii imekuwa ni biashara ya faida na ambapo kuna wauguz ambao hulipwa ili kukeketa katika usiri wa vyumba vya kifahari na pia katika hospitali

Aidha, kuna wakuu wa kiusalama ambao wamethibitisha kuwa wauguzi wengine wamejiunga na wale ambao wamekataa katakata kutupilia mbali tohara ya wanawake katika jamii. Wengi wac wanachochewa na tamaa ya kujipa pato. Hii ni ithibati ya kutosha kuwa umaskini ni mojawapo ya vizingiti vikubwa katika vita dhidi ya ukeketaji. Hata hivyo, si umaskini tu bali pia unyama. Unyama huu unatokana na ukweli kwamba ukeketaji huu una madhara si haba kwa yule anayekeketwa. Kwa hivyo, mtu anayethamini hela anazopewa kushinda maslahi ya mwenzake ni mwovu anayefaa kutiwa mbaroni na kuozea katika jel

Uchunguzi wa hivi karibuni umedhihirisha kuwa idadi kubwa ya wale waliokumbatia ukeketaji huu ama hawajui madhara yake au wanajitia tu hamnazo.

Baadhi ya wale waliopitia ukatili kama huu, wasiposaidiwa kupona majeraha ya moyoni, huweza kulipiza kisasi kwa wenzao au hata kuishi maisha yaliyosheheni uchungu na maumivu ya ndani kwa ndani.

Ni jukumu la kila mkenya kutathmini faida tunazopata kutokana na mila na desturi zetu. Mila na desturi zisizokuwa na umuhimu wowote zitupiliwe mbali. Ukeketaji una faida gani? Wale waliokeketwa wanawashindia nini wale ambao hawajakeketwa? Tukilipiga suala hili darubini tutang'amua kuwa ukeketaji hauleti faida yoyote.

Read the passage below and then and the questions 26 to 38.

Jacob started smoking and taking alcohol when he was in Form Three, after having been influenced by his peers. He was introduced to drugs by a "friend who lived in the same dormitory with him. At first he was reluctant, but later he started to feel it wasn't a bad idea af been a very bright student, but now his performance had deteriorated markedly. And because of this new lifestyle, he narrowly made it to one of our public universities.

By the time he joined the university, Jacob had become clinically a drug addict. The addiction was so severe that he would even steal money from his colleagues to buy drugs. In the meantime, he was barely making it in his studies. He would skip lectures and tutorials; and he even missed an examination. The university doctors reported that he was suffering from drug dependency, and he was subsequently discontinued.

After being sent away from the university, Jacob became a destitute. For a while he kept away from his family: he didn't know how to explain to them what had happened. And being cut off from family and relatives meant he didn't have anybody to help, nay, to feed him, on a regular basis. He, therefore, went on the streets and became a beggar. But being a beggar in the streets of Nairobi is a step away from being a pickpocket and a shoplifter, and that is exactly what he became.

The inevitable happened. The law caught up with him, and the poor fellow was locked up for two years.

Jacob was released from jail last year, and as I write this essay, he is trying to recover from his drug addiction. He sees a counsellor regularly, and tries to interact with his family, relatives and friends. At one time, his parents had given up on their son, but after counselling, they have taken the view that Jacob was sick and is now recovering. The fact that the sickness was selfinduced is neither here nor there.

During the period of his addiction, this young man was always withdrawn and uncommunicative. It was as if he lived in a world of his own. Occasionally, he would be violent and abusive. But now he is warmer and more personable. He talks more openly with members of his family, and he also tries to reach out to his friends.

In order to fully recover, Jacob must do three things.

First, he must completely come out of the stage of being in denial. He needs to face the unpleasant fact that he was addicted to drugs and drug addiction which is an emotional as well as a medical condition. Being in denial is tantamount to refusing to accept the reality. It is refusing to accept the truth, to swallow the bitter pill; and as they say, truth shall set us free.

    4. a small leak will sink a great ship.

Read the passage below and answer questions 39 to 50.

Some people imagine that life would be much more interesting if they were allowed to do exactly what they wanted. But in my view, such thinking is mistaken because behaviour that is not controlled would lead to anarchy. Just imagine what would happen if every motorist drove on the right or the left or in the middle of the road, and ignored traffic lights or speed limits. In a city like Nairobi, one would probably be stuck in a jam for a month, covering a distance of a hundred metres on a good day. When everybody observes the rules, things run smoothly.

Obedience is not a sign of weakness or cowardice. Rather, it is the recognition of the fact that respecting lawful authority leads to social order and harmony. Obedience means doing what is expected. It is also the acknowledgement that the common good transcends individual interests. Of course we must carefully think about what others tell us to do. We must not blindly. follow every instruction. For example, if someone tells you to commit a crime, you have an obligation to defy such an order however senior the person is. What we should obey are rules or instructions that are reasonable; in other words, those that are meant to promote the common good.

Now, why do some people find it difficult to obey parents, teachers or other authorities? The main reason is that they are self-centred. Their primary motivation is to pursue only those things. that benefit them, those that advance their private interests. And because obedience involves doing what others tell them, and frequently having to sacrifice their own desires, their spirits rebel. However, if they would consider the benefits of obedience, they would want to nurture this virtue.

In our everyday existence, we unconsciously obey many rules. No one, for instance, forces us to eat a balanced diet or obey a doctor's instruction. Many of us also report to school or places of work when we are supposed to. If you own a car, no one forces you to take it for service. Why do we do these things almost automatically? Obviously, it is because any act of disobedience would have grave consequences. So, obedience leads to a harmonious, stress-free life

Young people often find it difficult to accept rules and regulations because they think they are unfair or old-fashioned. It is true that some requirements may be illogical, but it pays to consider the motive behind the requirement before dismissing it offhand. Moreover, people we regard as old-fashioned may have a lot of experience and insight. Many have defied their parents' instructions and suffered much heartache later. It should be encouraging to know that even when some parents and teachers appear harsh and uncompromising, they have the best of intentions

39. According to the author, uncontrolled behaviour would lead to
    1. interesting life
    2. lawlessness
    3. ignorance
    4.  freedom.
40. If there was anarchy on the roads in Nairob
    
    1. traffic snarl ups would be endless
    2. traffic would flow smoothly 
    3. people would only travel for a hundred kilometres
    4. many cars would break down.
41. Which one of the following would not lead to clogged traffic in Nairobi?
    1. Driving on the wrong side.
    2. Disregarding speed limits.
    3. Covering a distance of a hundred metres,
    4. Ignoring traffic lights
42. All the following define obedience except
    
    1. respecting lawful authority
    2. doing as expected of you
    3. as a sign of weakness or cowardice
    4. the common good overrides self interest 43. 'We must not blindly follow every instruction' means that
43. all that glitters is not gold
    1. one should look before leaping
    2. birds of a feather flock together
    3. every dog has its day. 
    4. The writer, in paragraph two, advises us to
44. obey all rules and instructions
    1. obey all rules but not all instructions
    2. disregard all fair rules
    3. obey rules and instructions that promote the common good.

    1. They are tactful.
    2. They are kind
    3. They are sensitive 
    4. Obedience is a virtue.
46. What is the opposite of virtue?
    1. Vice
    2. Fortitude 
    3. Prudence
    4. Rectitude 
47. The phrase 'grave consequences' as used in the passage would mean
    1. deadly results
    2. serious results
    3. ultimate results
    4. obvious results
48. Obedience leads to
    1. stressed free life
    2. a harmonious life with stress
    3. stress-free life and harmony
    4. automatic stress free life
49. According to the last paragraph, it is true to say that
    1. when all leaders appear harsh, they have the best of intention
    2. some parents may appear uncompromising but they have very good intentions 
    3. young people disobey rules because they are old fashioned
    4. many of the requirements are illogical 
50. Which one of the following would be the best title for the passage?
    1. Obedience as a sign of weakness
    2. The old fashioned.
    3. Anarchy in the streets.
    4. The sweet fruits of obedience.
