Bwana Aisee aliporejea jijini alifungua ofisi kubwa aliyoipamba kwa samani za hali ya juu. Kisha aliwasiliana na waandishi wa magazeti mbalimbali. Alidai kuwa kulikuwako na mradi kabambe wa kuhakikisha kuwa vijana waliokosa amali wangeajiriwa kazi za maana kwenye hoteli za kitalii huko Uarabuni na Ulaya na hata kwenye meli za kifahari. Viongozi wengi walimshehenezea Bwana Aisee sifa kemkemu, “Huyu ni mzalendo kindakindaki! Anawakumbuka raia wenzake ambao hawana bahati kama yeye!"Vijulanga waliokuwa na hamu na ghamı ya kuenda ugenini walifurika ilipokuwa ofisi yake.

Walichohitajika kufanya tu ni kulipa ada ya shilingi elfu tano pamoja na kiasi kingine kama hicho kugharimia vyeti vya usafiri. Licha ya kuwa wengi wao hawakuwa na namna ya kuzipata pesa hizo, walikuwa radhi kukopa wahakikishe kuwa wamepata nafasi hizo adimu. Vijana hao pia walitakiwa kuenda hospitali fulani ya kibinafsi kufanyiwa uchunguzi wa kimatibabu. "Aisee bwana, huo ndio ustaarabu wa wenzetu walioendelea.. Ukitaka kumwajiri mtu lazima uijue siha yake ikoje," Bwana Aisee. aliwakumbusha. Hamna aliyejali. Kilichokuwa muhimu ni kuwa, baada ya miezi miwili wangepata kazi ambazo zingewafanya waipige kumbo la milele ukata uliotishia kuwagubika kama wingu.

Baada ya kuzikusanya hela hizo zilizolipwa na vijana zaidi ya elfu thelathini, Bwana Aisee aliwaambia wangoje kwa muda wa miezi miwili. Muda waliokuwa wamepewa wa kungoja mambo yaive ukapita. Tarehe ya kusafiri kuenda kuanza kazi zao ikaahirishwa. Taarifa iliyotoka katika ofisi kuu huko ulaya ilidai kuwa kuahirishwa huko kalitokana na hali mbaya ya usalama. Tarehe hizo zilipokwisha kuahirishwa mara nyingine mbili, kila mmoja alianza kutuhumu kuwa palikuwa na jambo. Malalamishi ya kila aina yalianza kusikika kwenye vyombo vya habari. Wakaanza kumsaka Bwana Aisee. Lakini hawakujua kumbe bwana huyo alikuwa ameingia mitini.

Uchunguzi wa historia ya Bwana Aisee ulianza kufanywa. Jamaa waliosoma naye walitoa habari zake zote bila kusaza lolote. Walieleza jinsi alivyokua fundi wa kuongea kizungu. "Lakini huyu si fundi wa kizungu tu bali na mizungu pia!" Walisema wengine kwa hasira walipozisikia habari hizo. Serikali ilianza mipango kabambe ya kumsaka Bwana Aisee. Ilibidi kuwashirikisha wachunguzi wa polisi wa. kimataifa, INTERPOL, katika swala zima. Haikuchukua muda kabla ya kugunduliwa kuwa mashirika yaliyodaiwa kuhusika na suala la ajira hizo yalikuwa bandia.

Mambo yaliendelea kukanganya wakati ofisi ya Bwana Aisee iliyokuwa jijini ilipochomeka siku moja wakati wa usiku na vyeti vyote kuteketea. Nayo hospitali waliyokuwa wameenda kufanyiwa uchunguzi wa kiafya wale walioenda kuomba kazi ilifungwa ghafla na daktari aliyehusika kutoweka. Ilikuwa wazi sasa kuwa watu walikuwa wametapeliwa.

Kashfa hii ilizungumziwa na wengi kote nchini si katika redio wala runinga bali pia magazetini na kwingineko. Adinasi waliapiza. Lakini njia ya mwongo ni fupi. Aisee alibambwa na polisi wa kimataifa alipokuwakatika uwanja wa ndege wa Frankfurt huko Ujerumani akijitayarisha kuabiri ndege kuelekea Afghanistan alikopanga kujificha kwa muda hadi mambo yatulie.

Baada ya kutiwa mikononi, Bwana Aisee alisafirishwa chini ya ulinzi mkali hadi jijini Nairobi alipofikishwa mbele ya hakimu. Kesi yake ilihudhuriwa na mamia ya vijana waliohasirika. Mwishowe Bwana Aisee alitumbukizwa gerezani kwa miaka minane ikiandamana na kazi za sulubu. Mizungu yake ilikuwa imegota mwamba.

Tarakilishi ama kompyutani kati ya teknoloji mpya ambayo inatumiwa siku hizi karibu kila mahali mathalani katika kampuni kubwakubwa, benki, masoko makubwa, viwandani, viwanja vya ndege, meli, idara za serikali, vyuo, shuleni na kadhalika. Katika shule za upili, tarakilishi ni somo ambalo. linashughulikiwa kuanzia kidato cha kwanza hadi cha nne na hutahiniwa katika mtihani wa kitaifa wa kidato cha nne. Aidha, serikali iko katika harakati za kuwapa vipakatalishi wanafunzi wote wa darasa la kwanza katika shule zote za umma nchini. . .....

Tarakilishi imegawanyika katika sehemu mbili muhimu, programu mfumo na maunzi. Maunzi ni : nenojumlishi ambalo hutumika kwa kurejeleavifaa vyote vya kompyuta kwa mfano kichapishi, kishalekezi. kiwambo au skrini, kipanya m mashine chapishi. Programu mfumo ni neno jumlishi ambalo hurejelea programu zote zinazoweza kutumika katika kompyuta.

Vifaa vinavyotumika katika kompyuta ni vingi. Kiwambo hutumika kwa kuonyesha data ambayo inashughulikiwa, nacho kichapishi hutumika katika kuvugulia data hiyo kwa kompyuta. Kishelekezi ni kifaa ambacho huwaka kikizimika kwenye skrini nacho huashiria mahali ambapo data inayovuguliwa itaingia. Pahali pa kishalekezi panaweza kubadilishwa kwa kutumia kipanya. Kipanya ni kidude chenye mkia mithili ya panya. Baada ya kazi kukamilika nadata kuwa habari mashine chapishi huichapisha. habari hiyo kwenye karatasi ili isomwe na watu wengi iwezekanavyo, pahali penginapahali popote.

Tarakilishi ina sifa nyingi muhimu. Chombo hiki kina uwezo wa kufanya hesabu na kazi nyinginezo kwa kasi sana. Sifa nyingine ni kwamba tarakilishi huhifadhi ujumbe mwingi sana kwa matumizi ya baadaye. Maclekezo huchukuliwa na kuwekwa kwa ajili ya kufuatwana chombo hiki. Mfululizo wa maelekezo haya ndiyo huongoza kompyuta katika wajibu wake na huitwa programu ambayo huandikwa kwa letgha ya kikompyuta. Kompyuta hufuata maelekezo haya kwa kuamshwa na binadamu. Sheria hizi huwa sahili na kompyuta ina uwezo wa kuzitumia ili kufikia uamuzi wa jinsi ya kutenda

Kuwasiliana na mifumo minginc yakompyutani muhimu sana na kompyuta ina uwezo wa kufanya hivyo. Kompyuta huingizwa data ambayo huchakatwa ili kuleta maana, na uzao wa kuchakatwa huku ndio huitwa habari. Programu ni mfumo wa utaratibu ambao umeandikwa kwa lugha ya kikompyuta. Programu huiwezesha kompyuta kuchakata data na kuifanya iwe habari kwa mfano, inaweza kuongeza rumbari mbili au zaidi na kukupa jibu.

Katika kompyuta habari inaweza kuhifadhiwa katika diski ngumu au diski tepetevu. Diskingumu ni nafasi inayopatikana katika kompyuta yenyewe na inaweza kuhifadhi maktaba inzima. Diski tepetevu niile nafasi ambamo disketi huwekwa ili habari inayochakatwa ihifadhiwe kwa disketi. Disketi ni kilaa kidogo mithili ya kaseti. Nafasi hizi za kompyuta zimegawanywa katika viendesha diski kwa mfano ukitaka kuhifadhi habari yako katika diski ngumu, utatumia kiendesha diski A. Ilhali ukitaka kuhifadhi kazi yako katika diski tepetevu utatumia kiendesha diski C.

Kwa hivyo kwa muhtasvi, tunaweza kusema kuwa kompyuta ni kifaa au chombo ambacho hufanya kazi kwa kuongozwa na programu iliyohifadhiwa. Kompyuta hujiendesha yenyewe kwa kukubali na kuchakata data ili iwe habari.

Read the passage below then answer the questions that follow.

Many years ago, baboon was the most boastful ape. He was fast and could jump with ease from one tree to another. Whenever the animals went out to steal crops from man's shamba, baboon would never be caught. He always laughed at his cousins; the monkeys and chimpanzees who would be caught and whipped mercilessly.

"Oh, poor you! How would you be as slow as a tortoise? You should learn to be fast like me whenever you sense danger," he would lease them. The animals once went to steal maize from man's shamba, baboon quickly ate to his full and took a few maize cobs home. He then alerted man from the top of a tall tree. "Hurry up, some thieves are feasting on your maize! Man hurried to the shamba before the animals could escape and shot several of them with poisoned arrows. Baboon watched the drama from the top of the tree with glee.

With time, the other animals got fed up with baboon's behaviour. They avoided him and rarely talked whenever he was within earshot. One afternoon, baboon found monkey peeling a ripe banana, his only meal for that day. Without uttering a word, he grabbed the banana from the monkey. He quickly ate it and when he was done, threw the peel at the poor monkey's face. Shell-shocked, monkey stared at baboon for a moment before asking," surely, why did you do that

"To teach you to be fast when eating delicious bananas," baboon replied. Monkey walked away feeling humiliated as baboon laughed loudly at him. He told other animals what baboon had done to him and they were upset. They decided to put an end to his unacceptable behaviour. They held a sliding competition and gathered on top of a steep hill. The competition involved sitting on the bark of a tree and sliding down a steep hill. The one who would take the shortest time to slide down the hill would emerge the winner

Baboon was upbeat about the competition and boasted he would be the first. Eager to show off his prowess, he sat on the hard bark of a free and made himself comfortable. As he was able to take off, monkey pulled the bark from under his bottoms as chimpanzee shoved him down the hill. Thinking that the animals had done this by mistake, he screamed for help but his pleas fell on deaf ears. The sharp stones and thorns along the steep path were unbearable. They bruised his bottom so much that they felt as though he was sitting on hot charcoal. His effort to hold on to vegetation along the path were frustrated by the animals who continued shoving him downhill. He screamed in pain as other animals joined monkey in mocking him, "are you not the toughest of us all?" they asked.

Read the passage below then answer the questions that follow.

Kenya's weather patterns are changing. The change in rainfall patterns has a huge impact on Kenya because 98 percent of the country's agriculture is rain fed. The major challenge that farmers face is timing. It is crucial for them to know when rains start and stop so that they know when to plant or harvest their crops. Most parts of Kenya experience two rain seasons, March to May's long rains and October to December's short ones. The months of June to August are mainly cool and dry over most parts of the country, except for some areas in the Western region that get rain.

Hot and dry conditions are normally observed in the entire country in January and February. In recent years, delay in the coming of rains has been the norm. In other years, rains came on time but then stopped earlier than anticipated. Such lead to massive crop failures.

Other than rainfall patterns, studies show a reduction in the amount of rainfall, especially during the March to May long rains period. This is a worrying trend; given that this is the main planting season.

The changes in Kenya's rainfall pattern have been linked to climate change. Global warming is known to cause an overall warming in the atmosphere and the ocean, resulting in complex shifts that affect our planet's weather and climate systems. Research shows that rainfall is reducing while temperatures are on the rise in Kenya, as is the case in other countries in the Horn of Africa.

In the case of Kenya's delayed rains, another culprit has also been identified; cyclones. It is normal for cyclones to happen on the Southern African Coast between February and March. But their magnitude is dictated by sca surface temperatures. These warm as a result of increased emission of green-house gases in the atmosphere leading to global warming. This means the intensity and frequency of cyclones is likely to increase.

The most recent cyclones was Idai and it occurred in the Western Indian Ocean in March last year.

The cyclone caused a depression - low pressure zone - in the ocean, cutting off moisture from flowing from the Southern hemisphere to East Africa. Cyclone Idai delayed the Northward progression of the rain-bearing low pressure zone, also known as the Inter-Tropical Convergence Zone.

This limited the moisture flow from reaching Kenya, leading to the observed seasonal rainfall delay that strengthened anomalous dryness from early mid-March last year. A combination of failed rainfall and the observed high temperatures adversely impact agricultural activities across many parts of the country.

39. Why is the impact of the changing weather patterns great in Kenya?
    
    1. Farming activities in Kenya rely majorly on rainfall.

42. A crop that needs a lot of rainfall to thrive is best planted in?
    
    1. May
    2. March
    3. October

    1. pressure zones
    2. atmospheric gases
    3.  temperatures.
    4. position on the globe.
48. Which region was affected by Cyclone Idai?
    
    1. Western Indian Ocean

Aghalabu kila wakati nilipomtembelea nyanya yangu, alikuwa akinitambia hadithi. Basi nilipomtembelea mwezi Juni, aliweza kunitambia hadithi kuhusu Mzee Hekima na bibi yake. Waliishi katika kijiji cha Madongo. Mzee Hekima alijaliwa na Mola na watoto wengi wavulikya magashi. Nao waliwalea wanao vyema kwa kuwalisha vizuri vyakula vya tumboni na kiroho. Usisahau kuwa Mzee Hekima alikuwa tajiri wa mali na moyo. Mamia ya wanakijiji waliofika kwake kumjulia hali aliwasubilia kwa vyote. Kuna wale waliopewa riziki kwa kulima shambani, wengine kufagia boma lake bora tu kila mmoja alifaidika na mkono karimu wa bwana huyu.

Kati ya watoto wake wengi, Mzee Hekim alimpenda zaidi kitindamimba na alimpendelea kwa mengi. Kutokana na hali hii kitindamimba alianza kujivuna na kuwadharau wakubwa wake. Alionyesha kiburi, unyeti na dharau. Mwishoni tabia yake ilianza kuingia ufa. Mambo yalizidi kuzorota zaidi kiasi cha mtoto huyo kuwa mbaya zaidi. Wazazi walipogundua uovu wa mtoto huyo, mambo yalikuwa yamekwisha kithiri. Baada ya kujaribu kulihali kumwongoa na kulemewa walimtupa jongoo na mti wake.

Kila mmoja aliepuka kitinda mimba huyu kama kinyamkera. Hakushirikishwa michezoni wala katika matembezi. Ajabu ni kwamba, hakurekebisha tabia yake hali aliendelea kuwa mkaidi zaidi kuliko hata mkia wa nguruwe. Mzee Hekima naye alizidi kuzeeka na kugotika kadiri siku zilivyosonga.

Mzee Hekima alianza kuwausia wanawe. Aliweka kila kitu wazi. Alisema pesa zote za banki zingegawanywa kwa wanawe wote wa kiume. Nayo mali yaliyohaki yagawatywe kulingana na umri wa kila mrithi. Jukumu la uandishi wa wosia huu lilipewa kitindamimba. Naye akawa amepata nafasi murua ya kufanya hila. Alijiandikia nafasi kubwa ya urithi wa mali ya baba yake. Hekima alipoaga dunia yule kitindarnimba aliazimia kuuza shamba lile. Hapo alimtafuta mnunuzi na kumpata Mzee Kolera. Walipalana bei lakini hakulipwa pesa taslimu ila waliandikiana mkataba

Nakumbuka siku moja, mtoto wa Mzee Johara alienda mtoni kuogelea akiwa ameandamana na marafiki zake. Mto Kingo ulijulikana kwa kuwa na mamba wengi waliowashambulia wakazi wa eneo hilo. Kwa bahati mui mwanawe Mzee Johara alishikwa mgutini na maka Alivutwa na kuelekezwa kwenye maji makuu. Watoto wenzake walipoona hivyo walipiga usiahi kwa hofu waliomba msaada. Kwa bahati nzuri, wana wawili wa yule Mzee Hekima walikuwa wakipita njia karibu na mto huo. Wakasikia mayowe na kelele. Basi bila kulimatia wakaenda haraka kuangalia kelele zilikuwa za nini.

Baada ya kufika mtoni, waliambiwa habari za mtoto yule aliyechukuliwa na mamba. Walipotupa macho walimwona mtoto yule wa Mzee Johara akizamia lulu majini. Bila chelewa chelewa, vijana hawa walivua nguo zao na wakajitosa majini na kumfuata mamba yule. Walishambulia mamba yule kwa sime zao mpaka akamwachilia mtoto yule wakamchukua na kuogelea naye hadi ufuona mato. Hapo walimpa ganga ganga za mganga Anazomwacha mgonjwa na matumaini.

Mtoto huyo alikuwa amejeruhiwa vibaya mguuni kutokana na kuumwa kwa meno ya mamba. Baada ya kumpa huduma ya kwanza, waliamua kumpeleka kwa baba yake ili kumsimulia kisa chote. Mzee Johara alifurahishwa sana na kitendo cha watoto hao na akawaombea dua ya Mola awasaidie.

Baada ya kuwapa makaribisho aliamua kuwasindikiza wana wale wawili huku yeye akielekea kumlipa kitindamimba pesa zake. Basi wote watatu waliaondoka Wana wale walienda nyumbani naye Mzee Johara akielekea kumlipa ujira wake kitindamimba. Mzee Johana aliwaomba kwa unyenyekevu waandamane naye ili wawe mashahidi wake. Vijana wale wawili walikubali bila ya wao kujua ni shamba gani lililokuwa likiuzwa.

Mzee Johara na ndugu wale wawili walipofika kwa wenyeji wake, alianza kuwaelezea jinsi walivyopatana bei ya shamba. Ndugu wale wawili walishtuka sana na kukasirika. Papo hapo wakamweleza Mzee Johara kisa chote kuanzia mwanzo hadi mwisho. Mzee Johara kusikia hivyo alighairi kununua shamba hilo. Ujanja wa kitindamimba kikagonga mwamba.

Maisha ya binadamu huimarika kutokana na urafiki. Urafiki hufanya watu wanaopendana kuwa na mvuto fulani ambao huwapa kiu ya kutaka kuonana mara kwa mara. Umbali kwao huwa si chochote si lolote. Watafanya juu chini ili waweze kuwasiliana hata kama ni kwa kupigiana simu, kuandikiana nyaraka au hata kutembea kilomita nyingi mradi tu wakutane.

Manufaa ya urafiki ni gani? Nia kuu ya urafiki ni kuondoleana ukiwa, kuliwazana, kubadilishana fikira na kusaidiana wakati wa shida. Pasi na urafiki duniani kungejaa madhila, uhasama, zahama na maovu mengine ya kukiriha moyo.

Urafiki bora ni ule wa kujuliana hali, kufaana wakati wa dhiki, urafiki wa kupigiwa mfano yaani ule wa kufa kuzikana. Hata hivyo urafiki huu umeadimika kama milango ya pikipiki. Ni nadra na adimu kumpata rafiki shakiki. Kila mtu sasa ameanza tu kuamba ngoma akivuta kwake. Ya mwenzake hayamghasi, ni kanda la usufi ati.

Kile ninachojaribu kusema ni kuwa, urafiki mwingi ni ule wa juu juu. Ule wa nipe nikupe. Iwapo wewe ni maskini, ole wako! Watakwambia kuwa mkono mtupu haurambwi na utapewa kisogo. Ukiwa tajiri pia huna bahati. Utaandamwa kama nzi na kugandwa kama kupe na wanaotaka kikalia mrija. Siku ya kuonyeshwa mlango kazini watakuhepa labda uauniwe na ndugu yako

Kulonga mithaki urafiki mwingi ni ule wa idumakawili Ni ule wa kulana kivuli. Wale wanaojitapa hadharani kuwa marafiki zako shakiki ukiwapa siri, kesho utazisikia barazani. Ulimthamini lakini yeye hafai ni mfano wa kikulacho ki nguoni mwako. Ni makauleni wakubwa. Ni vycina kila mmoja ajue kuwa, ule urafiki wa zamani wa kufaana kwa jua na la mvua umezikwa katika kaburi la liliwala.

Kinyume na vile watu wengi wanavyodhaniás urafiki unahitaji uvumilivu, uaminifu, ukarimu, upendo, usamehevu na kujitolea mhanga kama kukuahatarishaye maisha yake ili kumwokoa kifaranga.

Je, urafiki una faida? Ndiyo. Kumbuka ukiwa na marafiki huwezi kuteseka sana. Wahenga walisema kuwa mtu ni watu na hakuna mtu anayeweza kujitosheleza. Majanga yapo. Mengine makubwa yanayozidi uwezo wa mtu binafsi. Chukulia kwa mfano shughuli za mazishi. Utachimbaje kaburi na ubebe jeneza peke yako. Hapo ndipo utahitaji marafiki.

Tujue kuwa tuko pia na urafiki wa kuharibiana tabia. Kwa mfano watu wasio na msimamo kimaisha kazi yao ni kufuata wengine kama bendera. Tumewaona wengi wakijitoa kikaangoni na kujiingiza motoni bila kujali. Hawa sana sana ni wale ambao huwa hawaambiliki wala hawasemezeki. Hata wakiambiwa wasitembee na watu waovu kwa kuwa samaki mmoja akioza na mtungo pia huwa hawasikii. Huonyesha kiburi na unyeti mwishowe huishia kujipalia makaa.

Tamu ikizidi sana huwa sumu. Nao-urafiki ukizidi sana wakati mwingi huwa na madhara yake. Unajikuta kwa kuwa ati mtu ni rafiki yako, unaamua kuchukua hatua bila hata kumhusisha. Kumbe uamuzi uliochukua ni sumu kwake.

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

It was break time, a favourite time mostly for boys to play and do all sorts of things the classroom discipline couldn't allow them to. The girls, on the other hand, spent theirs in groups, sharing whatever whoever carried from home or one was able to buy. It was not even possible to tell, among the girls who had and who hadn't. They sat under trees scattered in the school compound and by the time the bell signaling the end of break rang, they would rise and rush into their classrooms. Among the boys, it was a totally different story.

The boys had invented what looked like a game yet it was not. As soon as the break-bell went, they shot out through the classroom doors like arrows. The run went towards where specific boys headed as already, they were known to have money and would definitely buy something. Dori sold doughnuts under the mango tree by the school hedge. It was sold on first-come-first-served basis and based on how strong you were too. There was no line to follow so if you could elbow your way through to reach Dora, you would be served instantly. Not all those who went to buy the doughnuts were certain to get. With your money, you still needed luck, strength and some push to get it, the boys seemed to enjoy it.

Immediately after buying it, the part two of the game would commence. The buyer would take off like a thief with a 'swarm' of boys in hot pursuit, with a sole mission of begging. He would cover as much a distance as he could to shake off the clumsy ones. At times, the run could cover half the school compound then, the buyer would stop abruptly. A number would be far behind, panting and checking if there was another nearer group to relocate to and that is when in a haste, the buyer would dish out one, two or three of the doughnuts to reward his friends' to share as he crammed the remainder into his mouth at ago. The sharing would be instant as they would be moving to try their luck in other groups already in flight.

This is what Juma did and he squeezed three whole doughnuts into his mouth. Ile had no time to chew them as many others were already running after Keri. It was after three or so minutes that he fell down but the others, not sure of why it had happened, burst into loud howls of laughter.

A different group, due to curiosity, immediately went to where he was lying. He looked as if he was suffocating and so they wasted no time. They carried Juma straight into the staffroom and reported that he had fallen down and had stopped talking. Knowing the mischief boys normally involve themselves in all the time, one of the teachers ordered them to take him outside under the mango tree. He quickly turned the victim to face downwards. Then, he gave Juma a gentle blow at the upper back. A ball of doughnut fell from his mouth and he started gasping for breath. In two or so minutes, his eyes opened and shock was written all over his sweating face. Immediately, the bell rang and they pupils dashed into their respective classrooms with a great lesson learnt outside the classroom.

Read the passage below and then answer questions 39 to 50

Many people have seen waste water but hardly any of them can give a proper definition of what it is. Waste water is water that is receivable by the ground and forced to flow away to a place no one cares about. However, scientifically, it's water that has gone through a process and is no longer attractive to the original user. Waste water management is the process of understanding the characteristics of water, treatment and restoring the water from available contamination.

Presently, the world faces a water quality crisis resulting from continuous population growth, urbanisation, land use change, industrialisation, food production practices, increased living standards and poor water use practices and waste water management strategies. This has a direct impact on the biological diversity. It disrupts the life support system on which a wide range of sectors from urban development to food production and industry. Waste water therefore should be managed well as even aquatic animals and those in the wilderness depend on the same source.

The United Nations wanted this improved and increase coverage in terms of access to improved toilet facilities. More attention should be paid towards ensuring that waste streams are adequately collected and treated before being discharged into the environment. Strangely, worldwide waste water treatment is failing. As a result, the majority of waste waters are discharged without any form of treatment. This spreads disease to humans and damaging lives of both plants and animals outside there.

Moreover, dirty water is a key factor in the rise of pollution in lakes, oceans and seas. This is because of increased urban population which is to double in forty years or so. Already, most cities lack adequate waste water management due to poor or lack of proper sewerage infrastructure,

Kenya's rapidly growing capital city is facing a very serious problem with the supply and quality of its water supply, forcing people to get water from unsafe and very dangerous or poisonous sources.

This is very different from early years where more than 90% of the population in Kenya's urban areas had access to clean water. Currently, it is estimated that just 50% of Nairobi's four and a hall million population residents have access to piped water. This is because of the demand which is too high to meet. It is higher than the supply due to other factors, such as population growth, inability to supply enough water, poor distribution network and climate problems.

Some Nairobi residents lament that the city receives around 50 million litres of water per day but Sadly, by midnight, it is all wasted. By morning, water is needed and this strains the source. This important to create a culture of waste water recycling so that all the wastewater can be raised.

39. The number of people who can define waste water
    1. cannot easily be estimated.
    2. is as many as those who see it.
    3. is smaller than those who have seen it.
    4. almost the same as those who have seen it.
40. Waste water is receivable by the ground because
    
    1. no one has any use for it.
    2. it can be used for irrigation.
    3. it is directed there by the users.
    4. the ground absorbs anything poured there.
41.  The MAIN importance of waste water management is to
    1. ensure it is disposed of far away.
    2. safeguard its safety.
    3. make sure it is absorbed into the soil
    4. keep quantity of water on earth safe.
42. The water crisis currently faced by people worldwide is
    1.  caused by poor recycling of waste water.
    2.  due to consistent change of weather.
    3. as a result of the reduction of water.
    4. due to man's several uses of water.
43. If waste water is managed well.
    
    1.  there would be frequent floods during rails.
    2. there would be more fresh water than needed
    3. lives of aquatic and wild animals could he spared
    4. there is likely to be increase in water levels.
44. Which of the four words below would BEST replace ‘waste' as used in paragraph two?
    
    1.  polluted
    2. used
    3. excess
    4. recycle
45. Toilet facilities and industries are expected
    
    1. use more water than other users.
    2. keep using less water in their operations.
    3. separate waste water from their entities.
    4.  improve their quality of water before discharge.
46. Why do you think is water treatment failing worldwide?
    
    1. Climatic change has affected water levels.
    2. Poor collection of waste water.
    3. The treatment methods being used is weak.
    4. Countries do discharge different amounts of waste water.
47. Pollution of water is expected to rise because
    
    1. sewerage infrastructure has collapsed.
    2. no one can tell if water is contaminated
    3. of a lot of rural/urban migration effect.
    4. chemicals for water treatment is becoming scarce.
48. Currently, the number of people in Nairobi getting clean water
    
    1. cannot be estimated due to over population.
    2.  could be half of the total residents.
    3.  is about 90% of the population.
    4.  more than 50% of the population.
49.  It is expected that as the demand for sale clean water keeps increasing
    
    1. the supply will reduce
    2. more available water will be piped.
    3. there will be less wastewater.
    4. less people will migrate from the rural areas
50. The BEST title for this passage would be
    
    1. Effect of poor waste water management.
    2. How waste water is increasing in worldwide.
    3. Increase of waste water in Nairobi,
    4. Treatment and storage of waste water.
