Soma ufahamu ufuatao kwa makini kisha ujibu maswali 31-40.

Nilikuwa chumbani mwangu nikijisomea novela ili kukinaisha uraibu wangu. Mama aliniita ghafla, nikaukunja ukurasa niliokuwa nikisoma kabla ya kutoka. Alikuwa ameshika noti ya shilingi mia tano. "Nenda kwa Bwana Mauzo uninunulie kilo ya sukari, maziwa na paketi ya unga," aliniambia huku akinikabidhi fulusi zile. "Hewala mama," niliitikia huku niking'oa nanga kuelekea kwenye duka hilo lililokuwa takriban kilomita mbili kutoka pale nyumbani.

Njiani nilimkuta rafiki yangu, Aviza akiendesha baiskeli yake. Nilimwamkua naye akaniitikia kwa ucheshi kama ilivyokuwa ada yake. Nilimweleza kuwa mama alikuwa amenituma dukani na kwamba nisingethubutu kuwa kihongwe kwa kuwa sisi watoto tunao wajibu wa kuwaauni wavyele wetu. Huku akikubaliana nami, alijitolea kunisaidia. "Kwa kuwa sina ujuzi zaidi yako katika kucharaza baiskeli, utaendesha wewe nami niketi kwenye karia," alisema kisha akanikabidhi baiskeli ile.

Tuliichupia baiskeli tukaiendesha kwa uangalifu katika barabara ile yenye kuruba nyingi. Siku zote nilizingatia kauli ya wahenga kuwa kinga ni bora kuliko tiba. Muda si muda tulifika
dukani.

Umayamaya wa washitiri ulikazania kununua bidhaa. Wanyonge walikaa kando kusubiri muujiza angaa wanunue. Wenye misuli kama mimi nao waliwasukuma wenzao almradi wapate fursa ya kununua bidhaa walizohitaji. Jambo moja lililowavuta wateja kwa Bwana Mauzo ni kwamba hakudiriki kuwapunja wateja wake licha ya kuwa na duka la kipekee pale kijijini. Wema nao hauozi. Hali ilikuwa hivyo siku zote katika duka lake.
Baada ya kujipenyezapenyeza, nilijipata nimekabiliana ana kwa ana na mwenye duka. Usoni, alionyesha tabasamu yake ya kawaida. Pindi tu tulipotazamana, niliuona uso wake ukibadilika ghafla, akawa kama aliyeona mzimu mbele yake. Hali hiyo ilinitia wahaka kidogo. Nilishuku kuwa labda alifikiri nimeenda kumkopa. Falsfa ya Bwana Mauzo ilikuwa wazi kwa wote "Lipa leo nitakukopesha kesho." Ili kumwondolea hofu yake, nilitabasamu, nikaunyosha mkono huku nikimwonyesha noti aliyonipa mama. Ajabu ni kuwa hakuipokea.

Mara noti ile ilinyakuliwa na mkono mzito kama nanga. Kwa udhia mwingi, niligeuka kumwona hasidi huyo aliyenuia kuchuma riziki kutoka mkononi mwangu pasipo kutoka jasho. Lo! Maneno yalinikauka kinywani, macho yakanitoka pima nisiweze kutamka 'be' wala 'te'. Uso wangu ulikumbana na mtutu wa bunduki. Tuliagizwa kulala sakafuni huku majambazi wale wakijiandaa kutupora. Acha mtafaruku uingie! Hakika angurumapo simba mcheza ni nani?

Wahalifu wawili walijitoma dukani wakaanza kupakia pesa za Bwana Mauzo katika mkoba. Mwanaume mmoja aliyekuwa nyuma yangu alimtazama mmoja wao aliyebaki nje akitutishia kwa bunduki. Sijui alikuwa akiwazia nini. Alitazamana na mwanamume mwenye bunduki akasimama na kupiga hatua akienda kwake.

"Nitakufyatulia risasi kichwani mpumbavu wewe!" Jambazi yule alifoka kwa ukali. “Nina hakika kuwa huna uwezo huo," alijibu mwenzetu huku akitabasamu. Jambazi alibabaika. Kumbe mteja mwenzetu alikuwa askari polisi, kwa hivyo alitambua kuwa bunduki ile ilikuwa bandia. Sote tulipandwa na mori, wengine wetu wakiwashambulia kitutu wahalifu hao. Hofu ilituondokea tuliposikia kuwa bunduki ile ilikuwa bandia.
Kamba zilitolewa pale dukani, wakafungwa kitita na kupelekwa marshimarshi hadi kituoni mwa polisi. Noti yangu ilitolewa mfukoni mwa jambazi aliyeniibia. Nilinunua bidhaa alizonituma mama, Bwana Mauzo akawahudumia wachache kisha akafunga duka ili akaandikishe taarifa kituoni. Japo nilichelewa kurudi nyumbani, nilikuwa na uhondo wa kusimulia aila yangu
kuhusu tukio lile.

Hakuna jambo litakalohatarisha maisha yetu humu duniani kuliko ukataji wa misitu. Hakika, ukataji huu si jambo jipya kwetu. Hata mababu na nyanya zetu walikata miti. Walifanya hivyo kwa matumizi mbalimbali kama vile ujenzi, dawa, mavazi na kadhalika. Ukataji miti siku hizo, hata hivyo, ulifanywa kwa uangalifu. Baadhi ya miti ilikatwa kwa ajili ya kafara na kwa matumizi mahsusi lakini leo, miti hukatwa bila kusudi maalum.
Si ajabu kupata miti ikikatwa milimani kwa kusudi la kupanda dawa za kulevya kisiri ili isijulikane na serikali. Aidha, miti imekatwa ili kujenga majumba yetu katika mazingira yaliyo na hewa mwanana bila kujali madhara tunayosababishia mandhari yetu. Tumekata miti kando ya mito ili kulima vishamba vya mboga karibu na chemichemi ya maji. Kile ambacho binadamu hafahamu ni kuwa miti hii ndiyo inayoshikilia udongo usimomonyoke.

Inafahamika kuwa misitu ni asili ya chakula na maskani ya wanyama. Misitu inapokatwa, ama wanyama watakufa au watahamia kwingine. Huko kwingine kunaweza kuwa kwenye makao yetu binadamu. Watavamia mashamba yetu na kuhatarisha maisha yetu na ya wanetu.
Tusisahau kuwa misitu huvuta mvua. Tunapokata miti tunapunguza mvua na tunaharakisha ukame. Bila mvua, mito na maziwa yatakauka. Bila maji sisi hatutakuwa na uhai. Mifugo wetu nao watafuata mkondo uo huo.

Hebu fikiria utafanyaje uamkapo asubuhi na kuambiwa kuwa mfadhili wako ameachishwa kazi katika kiwanda cha karatasi kilichopo hapo karibu. Kuna uwezekano wa hayo kutokea iwapo ukataji wa misitu utaendelea. Viwanda vitakosa malighafi, hivyo vitafungwa na watu kumwaga unga. Basi vitu kama karatasi, mbao, gundi na viberiti vitakosekana au kupanda bei.

Vilevile, misitu inapokatwa, dawa za kienyeji na za kisasa zitapotea kwa maana nyingi kati yazo hutokana na miti. Wagonjwa wengi watatangulia mbele ya haki kwa kukosa dawa. Je, wakataji miti wenyewe wajua wao pia wataangamia?

Misitu mingi yenye manufaa makubwa huchukua muda mrefu kukomaa. Kwa hivyo, tunapoikata bila mpango tunavinyima vizazi vya kesho urithi huu wa kimaumbile. Vijana wengi watakuwa wakizisoma habari za misitu vitabuni bila kuiona misitu yenyewe. Utafiti wa miti pia utakwama na elimu itakoseshwa mahali pa uvumbuzi nyanjani. Sasa iko wapi faida ya kufunza taaluma ya misitu katika shule na vyuo kinadharia tu kama misitu yenyewe haipo?

Miti isipokuwepo hakuna kitu kitakachozuia mmomonyoko wa udongo wetu wenye rutuba. Mimea itadhoofika ajabu. Mchanga nao utajaa kwenye mito na maziwa. Hali hii ikiendelea maziwa yatapotea.

Hakuna mandhari yavutiayo kama yale yenye rangi ya kijani. Mtu atembeapo karibu na miti jioni, hufurahia harufu tofauti; harufu ya maua na mzizimo wa upepo mwanana. Miti ikipotea ghafla hubaki visiki butu vyenye rangi ya hudhurungi au kijivu isiyovutia. Badala ya mzizimo huwa upepo mkali uliobeba vumbi jingi. Matokeo yake ni mawili. Kwanza, upepo huu waweza kusababisha uharibifu kama vile kuangusha miti na hata kung'oa mapaa ya nyumba.

Hasara nyingine ni kuwa upepo husafirisha viini vinavyoeneza magonjwa chungu'nzima ya macho, koo na mapafu. Hewa itachafuka maana hakuna miti ya kuisafisha. Mnaona! sisi wenyewe tunajiua. Tamaa mbele mauti nyuma.

Ni kweli kusema kuwa
1. ukataji wa misitu ni hatari pekee inayoweza kuwaangamiza watu duniani
2. hapo awali, ukataji wa miti haukuwa ukifanyika kiholela
3. wazee wa zamani hawakuthubutu kuikata misitu asilani
4. awali, miti ilikuwa na matumizi mbalimbali, kinyume na ilivyo sasa.
Wanaokata miti milimani hufanya hivyo ili
1. wapate miti iliyo bora zaidi
2. waharibu misitu makusudi
3. wakuze mboga karibu na chemichemi
4. washiriki kilimo cha mimea haramu.
Kulima kwenye kingo za mito kuna athari gani kulingana na kifungu?
1. Kusababisha memonyoko wa udongo.
2. Kusababisha kukauka kwa vyanzo vya maji.
3. Kufariki kwa viumbe wa majini.
4. Kuchafua maji yanayofanikisha kilimo.
Kulingana na aya ya tatu
1. kukata miti ovyoovyo husababisha mgogoro wa binadamu na wanyama
2. kukata miti ovyoovyo ni kichocheo kikuu cha ukame
3. maeneo yasiyo na misitu hayana binadamu wala wanyama
4. watu wengine huharibu mazingira kwa nia ya kuanzisha makao yao.
Kufungwa kwa viwanda katika kifungu husababishwa na
1. ukosefu wa wafanyakazi
2. hali ngumu ya kiuchumi
3. kukosekana kwa malighafi
4. kupungua kwa mvua.
Chagua msemo mwingine wenye maana sawa na 'watatangulia mbele ya haki'.
1. Watakula mwata.
2. Wataenda na ulele ngoma.
3. Watakufa moyo.
4. Wataenda nguu.
Manufaa ya misitu kulingana na makala haya ni
1. kufanikisha elimu na dawa za kulevya
2. kuhifadhi maji na kuzuia mmomonyoko wa udongo
3. urithi wa vizazi na kubuniwa kwa mitambo
4. kuongeza nafasi za kazi na kusafisha hewa.
Matokeo ya upepo mkali yanaweza kuwa
1. magonjwa ya mapafu na ardhi kukosa mvuto
2. kuvunja miti na kutatiza starehe za watu
3. kuporomoka kwa majengo na kueneza maradhi
4. mmomonyoko wa udongo na kupotea kwa maziwa.
Kauli 'sisi wenyewe tunajiua' inaonyesha kuwa
1. binadamu wanauana wenyewe kwa wenyewe
2. tunajiangamiza kwa matendo yetu
3. bila misitu vizazi vijazo havitakuwepo
4. binadamu amevamiwa na maradhi chungu nzima.
Kichwa kifaacho zaidi kwa makala haya ni
1. Faida za misitu.
2. Mmomonyoko wa udongo.
3. Tamaa mbele mauti nyuma.
4. Madhara ya uharibifu wa misitu.

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

Susa and Katina usually walked together to the market. Their talk, which was a punctuated with laughter, never seemed to end. They were so close that it seemed if a third person joined them, it would be an unwelcome move. Seasonally, Susa sold vegetables at the market while Katina went to do her business of selling dry maize at the grain's section. They seemed to rhyme so much that no one thought they could ever separate.

It was during the dry season and the price of maize had soared. This is because the maize was sought from far away and was delivered in lorries. On the other hand, Susa too had to contract people on bicycle to go far away to the villages located near the lake where fresh vegetables were still available. The ones she used to get from the farms along the rivers had since dried up. Only Katina's farm still showed some sign of life because she watered them every morning before sunrise. They maintained their fresh look but interestingly, the pluckable leaves never seemed to grow.

The two women were on their way to the market one afternoon when Katina confided in her friend that she felt like abandoning the farm till the onset of rains as she worked so hard but received nothing in return. She told her friend that the farm did not even produce
vegetables for her to cook at home while earlier, it was supplying a number of women with kales to sell at the market, Susa being one of them. Susa too said that she too felt hard hit for the cyclists she sent for vegetables charged for the transportation quite expensively. They left before dawn and returned around ten o'clock. After paying them and selling the vegetables, she hardly made any profit worth the input. Their conversation was more of lamentations to each other as Katina revealed to her that earlier, they thought someone could be stealing the vegetables at night but after hiring someone to watch over it for a whole week but returned frustrated, she gave up. By the time they reached the market, they were still in a dilemma.

Two days later, the quiet dark morning village was woken up by screams and shouts of men. This was rare as thieves and stock thieves never attacked the village at such risky hours. However, the men hastily dressed up, picked whatever weapons they could get and rushed out to join the rest. They took strategic positions where they believed the robbers would follow. The longer they waited, the more it looked as if it was a false alarm and by the time the sky was clearing in the eastern horizon, there was still no clue at all. The men started asking one another who had first raised the alarm but no one accepted to take responsibility and it was a matter of blame game here and there. The sky was by then clear and it was possible to identify a person walking a distance way. Then Hola, who had walked away from the others for a short-call, suddenly and loudly called the others to urgently join him where he was. The lead to the alarm was there, carefully hidden in the bushes: a green gunny bag and a bicycle with an inscription at the mudguard 'Survivor'. At once, everyone knew who the owner was; Luda! He was known to go far off on his bicycle in search of vegetables which he sold to the market women and Susa was one of them!

The gang immediately took the recovered items to the village elder's home. Another group went straight for him at his home but as expected, he was not there. The village elder asked the party to disperse for eventually, Luda would return home and be guided accordingly.

Susa and Katina usually walked together because
1. their homes were not far apart
2. both of them sold items at the same market
3. they had almost similar daily programs
4. they seemed to enjoy each other's company.
Why did Susa sell vegetables at the market seasonally?
1. Vegetables were not available throughout the year.
2. She had a variety of items to sell.
3. There were too many other women selling vegetables there.
4. She needed to take a rest during the drought.
The main reason why the price of maize had soared is that
1. the maize had since dried up well
2. the commodity had increased in demand
3. many women did not like buying cheap maize
4. there were too many women selling maize at that time.
The problem the two women faced at the same time was due to
1. the diminishing number of customers
2. the distance of their homes from the lake
3. the weather condition at that time
4. the choosy customers each of them had.
Katina felt like abandoning work on the farm due to
1. demand
2. frustration
3. confrontation
4. confusion.
The word 'dilemma' as used in the third paragraph means the two friends
1. would discuss it later on
2. decided to forget about the issue
3. would soon abandon their businesses
4. had not got a solution.
What made the morning alarm by the men rare?
1. The time at which it was raised.
2. The direction it was first heard.
3. The people who raised it.
4. The number of villagers who heard it.
Why were the men interested in who had raised the alarm?
1. Very few people had responded to it.
2. No one had reported losing an item.
3. They didn't seem to see the reason for it.
4. The person's voice was very strange.
The time at which the first alarm was raised is likely to have been
1. shortly after midnight
2. just before dawn
3. at sunrise
4. early in the morning.
It was easy to identify the suspect because of
1. the inscription on the bicycle's mudguard

1. Tools
2. Instruments
3. Implements
4. Exhibits.
The village elder asked the others to disperse because
1. he did not want the women to know about it
2. the crowd could easily scare Luda away
3. it would not be a difficult case to solve
4. he had worse cases awaiting him.
What lesson do we learn from this passage?
1. The weather can make people change their behaviour.
2. It's not possible to conceal a bad thing for long.
3. People who live together must know one another.
4. Identifying a thief in a society is easy.

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

Moles can be found everywhere in the world except in the Antarctica. Moles may resemble rats and mice but they are not rodents. Instead, they are insectivores and are more closely related to the bats. They survive mainly on insects and most of the time, the ones that live underground. Moles therefore spend most of their day digging in the soil for that is where their food is.

Moles can dig tunnels at a rate of up to fifteen feet per hour. That is as long as seven footsteps. There could be a variation to this, depending on the weather conditions. Just like pigs, male moles are called 'boars' and female moles are called 'sows'.

A group of moles, called a labour, may come together at certain times of the year for the breeding season. You have heard that moles live underground, but how? Well, they have unique adaptations in the blood that allow them to survive underground with low levels of oxygen and high levels of carbon dioxide.

When the weather changes to become cold or dry, moles often dig deeper into the ground, following their food source. If they find a 'path' that leads to a nest of insects, they will pause and eat. Some insects will not realise that they have been invaded and thus, the moles could feed well for a while until the number reduces then the digging resumes. Some nests contain insects that are very sensitive and the moment they are interfered with, they hurriedly scatter in different directions. This makes it difficult for the moles to feed as within a short time, the nest is left with voids and remnant scattering insects. The moles therefore have to dig deeper and longer.

Moles' tunnels often follow contours of man-made features, such as fences and building footings. They are also often blamed for eating of roots and seeds but this is not true.

A mole's saliva contains a toxin that paralyzes worms, allowing them to gather and store food for consumption later on. To get dirt out of a worm's stomach, a mole can squeeze an earthworm with its forepaws before eating it.

Moles are among the few species that can smell in stereo, meaning that each nostril smells separately. By doing so, they instantly pinpoint the source of odours and estimate their path.

According to the first paragraph, moles
1. are found in a few areas of the Antarctica
2. have similar characteristics to rodents
3. live together with rats and mice
4. are some of the most common creatures on earth.
The relationship between bats and moles could be due to
1. the eating habits
2. the way they look
3. their manner of movement
4. the size of their body.
If there were not insects completely
1. all the moles would die
2. the number of moles would increase
3. moles would still find a way to survive
4. all moles would come to the surface of the ground.
What could be the cause of variation in holes dug by moles?
1. The quantity of food they get.
2. The effect of nature on the soil.
3. The number of moles digging the same hole.
4. The temperature in the hole being dug.
Moles generally live
1. a loner's life
2. in different holes per family
3. together in most cases
4. in one big group.
What makes moles look unique among other animals?
1. The speed at which their blood flows.
2. Their characteristics resemble those of other animals.
3. Digging deep in the ground almost throughout.
4. Their ability to survive on low levels of oxygen.
Moles could feed well in a nest of insects
1. if they get to it when they are very tired
2. should there be some source of light there
3. if the insects do not realise their presence
4. if they intend to continue digging soon after.
The phrase 'different directions' as used in the fourth paragraph means the insects move
1. in a helter-skelter way
2. very fast into the nest
3. in one specific direction
4. then suddenly change direction.
Why do you think moles follow the man-made features?
1. It is safer for them from falling objects.
2. The areas are easier to dig.
3. They try to dig as man did earlier.
4. The holes are usually left unsealed.
The blame on moles regarding eating of roots and seeds is false as
1. no moles have been found eating them
2. its man who eats seeds and roots
3. moles majorly eat insects
4. insects do not live near seeds and roots.
Which of the following words means much the same as 'separately' as used in the passage?
1. Once
2. Straight
3. Lonely
4. Independently.
The best title for this passage would be
1. The lifestyle of moles.
2. Animals that live in the ground.
3. Reduction of population of insects
4. Effect of low oxygen on moles.

Vitabu vyote vitakatifu vinatufunza tuwe waaminifu na tusithubutu kamwe kuzungumza uongo kwani mambo ya uongo hayadumu. Nadhani ni kwa sababu hii wahenga wakaeleza kuwa njia ya mwongo ni fupi. Mzee siambiwi alitanabahi kuwa uongo haufai baada ya kuona mambo yamemzonga kama chafu anavyomzonga mbuzi.

Kijiji cha Maganya kiliangukiwa na nyota ya jaha kubwa baada ya wafadhili kujenga chuo cha mafunzo ya watoto yatima na shule. Kila mtu aliyekuwa na watoto yatima alitakiwa kwenda kuwasajili chuoni. Hapo wangesomeshwa mafunzo ya kawaida pamoja na kufunzwa taaluma za ufundi wa kila fani. Kulikuwa na kazi za uashi. Uhadisi, taaluma ya tarakilishi mingoni mwa kazi nyingine. Nafasi zilikuwa wazi kwa mtoto yeyote nchini muradi awe yatima na kufiwa na mzazi mmoja au wote wawili. Vilevile kulikuwa na sehemu ya walemavu wa aina zote katika chuo hicho. Hawa nao walikuwa na rabiba yao ya masomo kulingana na uwezo waliokuwa nao.

Mzee Siambiwi, aliyekuwa mtu bahili na mwenye kupenda kuyakwepa majukumu yake ya malezi alipiga bango vile angefaidika kwa fursa hiyo. Siku moja asubuhi Siambiwi alimwita mkewe na kumketisha kitako. "Sharti nimpeleke kitindamimba wetu nasari ya yatima." Siambiwi alimwambia mkewe huku macho ameyatoa ungedhani ni ya bundi.

Mkewe alikiona hicho kama kioja kikubwa kwani wote walikuwa hawajakata kamba, isitoshe mumewe alijiweza kifedha. Ubishi mkubwa ulizuka. Mzee Siambiwi alisisitiza kuwa kutompeleka mwanawe . asome hapo bure ni sawa na mtu mpumbavu ambaye huacha jua lichomoze ashindwe kuliota kisha alitafute waka wa jioni.

Majadiliano yakakomea hapo kama sentensi iliyowekwa kikomo. Majonzi hayo yalimchoma sana mama inoyoni hadi akapata maradhi ya shinikizo la damu yaliyompeleka jongomeo, bila nauli wala matwana. Asubuhi ya majogoo Mzee Siambiwi na mkembe wake mikononi alikuwa kwenye lango la nasuri ya yatima. Alipokelewa kwa heshima kubwa na bawabu na kuelekezwa alikostahili kwenda huko alimwandikisha mtoto kwa mwalimu mkuu kuwa yeye alimwokota njiani na hivyo ni msamaria mwema. Mtoto alipokelewa na kupewa yaya wa watoto wadogo.
Miaka ilipeperuka ungedhani imepachikwa mbawa. Kitimtim alikua na kuwa mkubwa. Inasomekana alikuwa na bongo la sumaku. Aliongoza kwenye mitihani yake yote hadi akaingia chuo kikuu. Huko alifuzu na kupata kazi ya uhandisi. Alikuwa mhandisi mkuu nchini. Siambiwi wakati huo pesa zilikuwa zimemwishia na kubaki maskini hohehahe.

Siku moja alifunga safari kwenda jijini kumtafuta mwanawe ili akamwombe usaidizi na pia amweleze kuwa yeye ni mzazi wake. Kitimtim alishangaa kukiona kizee kilichodai kuwa mzazi wake kikimlilia machozi kupukupu. Alifahamu tangu utotoni mwake kuwa yatima. Siambiwi alidinda kutoka ofisini na ikabidi polisi waitwe kumtoa nje. Alimshika koti mwanawe na kukatalia kumwachia. Palizuka kizaazaa patashika.

Je, umewahi kutafakari kuhusu namna wanafunzi wengi, ukiwemo miongoni mwao, wanavyosafiri kwenda shuleni? Yumkini jibu lako kwa swali hili litadhihirisha kwamba asilimia kubwa hutembea kwenda shuleni, wengine hutumia baiskeli, magari ya umma na ya kibinafsi, pikipiki na gari mosi. Bila shaka aina ya usafiri hutofautiana kulingana na uwezo wa kiuchumi na umbali baina ya mwanafunzi na shule yake.

Kila aina ya usafiri ina changamoto maalum. Mathalani ikiwa umezungumza na wenzako ambao hutembea kwenda shuleni, haikosi wamekueleza dhiki wanazokumbana nazo. Licha ya safari za aina hii kuwachosha wanafunzi, ni wazi kuwa wanafunzi wengine hata hukosa masomo kwa sababu ya kutopitika kwa njia wakati wa mvua nyingi.

Pengine hata wewe umewahi kujipata katika njia panda baada ya daraja unalovukia kusombwa na maji ya mto uliofurika. Isitoshe, watembeao huweza kuathirika kiafya wakati wa kipupwe. Baridi huweza kuwasababishia pumu au hata kichomi. Wengine huwa katika hatari ya kuteleza kwenye njia zenye matope na kuvunjika viungo vya mwili. Hawa pia wamo katika hatari zaidi ya kutekwa nyara na hata kunyanyaswa kimapenzi.

Wanafunzi wengine huwahusudu wale ambao husafiri shuleni, ama kweli gari la sule, au la kibinafsi. Wakiulizwa kuhusu kiini cha husuda hii, wanasema kwamba wenzao hawa hawachoki kwani magari haya yanawachukua kutoka mlangoni mwa nyumba zao. Hata hivyo ukichunguza vyema utapata kwamba hata hawa wana matatizo sugu. Kwa vile magari ya shule huwabeba wanafunzi kutoka sehemu mbalimbali, magari haya hayana budi kuanza safari mapema. Hii huwalazimu wanafunzi nao kuamka alfajiri na mapema ili kuyawahi magari haya. Matokeo ni kwamba wanafunzi wengi hawadiriki kulala usingizi wa kutosha. Kuna wale ambao hulala saa nne usiku baada ya kukamilisha kazi za darasani, kisha wanaraushwa saa kumi ili kijitayarisha basi la sa kumi na moja. Wanafunzi wa aina hii hukumbwa na uchovu, na bila shaka husinzia darasani.
Isitoshe, wanafunzi wanaotumia usafiri wa umma hulalamikia msongamano wa magari ambao unawafanya kukawia njiani, na hata kupewa adhabu kwa kuchelewa kufika shuleni. Wengine hata hukataliwa na magari ya abiria, eti wanalipa fedha kidogo na kuwasababishia wenye magari hasara. Wanafunzi hawa huaibika na kulazimika kutembea hadi shuleni. Hali kadhalika magari ya umma humpa mwanafunzii mazingira ya kujifunzia tabia mzuri na mbaya. Pamoja na wanafunzi hawa hupata fursa ya kutengamana na wenzao kutoka shule nyingine, wao pia huweza kuathiriwa vibaya na hulka za wasafiri wengine. Kuna wale ambao huiga lugha, mitindo ya mavazi, namna ya kutembea na hata mienendo mingine ya madereva na utingo. Wengine huishia kuwa waraibu sugu wa vileo kutokana na vielezo wanavyopata kwenye magari haya. Muziki, picha na video na mazungumzo kupitia vyombo vya habari vilivyo kwenye magari haya huchangia kuzorotesha tabia ya wanafunzi. Hii ni kwa sababu baadhi ya maswala yanayozungumziwa ni ya aibu na hayapaswi kusikilizwa na watu wa umri mbichi.

Nihahiri kwamba kila aina ya usafiri ina athari zake. Hata hivyo, baniani mbaya kiatu chake dawa. Usafiri unaitajika katika kufanikisha masomo ya wanafunzi na katika uchukuzi wa bidhaa na vifaa mbalimbali ambavyo wanahitaji shuleni. Ni jukumu la kila mwanajamii kuhakikisha kwamba mikakati ifaayo imewekwa ili kukinga dhidi ya madhara yanayoandahana na kila aina ya usafiri. Wanafunzi nao wakae ange kutambua watu ambao huenda wakatosa katika maovu. Wachujo ya kuiga na ya kukataa.

Jack could fold any kind of papers into boats. Any kind of paper, Jack could fold it into pretty boats. Be it newpapers, magazine paper, wrapping papers and even paper towels!

One day, Jack made the most beautiful boat he has ever made. The paper he used had a shiny texture. There were words written all over it and had many pictures all over it. He folded the paper into the most magnificent boat. The sail of the boat was truly breathtaking because it was the tallest he had sen on a paper boat. Upon being done with it, little Jack put the paper boat on the table next to his bed and went to sleep.

As Jack slept, he woke up in the middle of the night. Strange noises filled Jack's ears. All of them were coming from the little paper boat. Soon the paper boat had a paper crew and a captain in a blue hat. Jack could hear the captain scream orders.

"Let loose the stern lights." Then the captain yelled again, "sailors, prepare to sail."
Little Jack shot out of his bed and shouted, "Hey! Where are you going with my boat?"

"Then climb aboard" the captain told the boy. Jack realized that his room has turned into an ocean and his boat was about to set sail. After Jack stepped into the boat, the paper boat swiftly slid on the water and slid across the bedroom.

Soon, the paper boat had found its way onto the main road, just across the supermarket. As the paper boat sailed, Jack saw the world whizz by. Just as Jack was watching the world go by, he asked the captain, "Do you think that we could sink after the boat becomes soggy?" To which the captained smilled.

Then he said, "Oh no, my boy! This boat is made out of the toughest material for the paper boats!"

"Okay,” replied Jack. Again he had a question. "But where are we going?" asked Jack. "We are going to catch the pirates little boy," replied the captain. "There are pirates, in the parking lot of the shopping mall!" As the paper boat reached the parking lot, Jack could hear a roaring sound. He became scared.

Immediately, the boat got sucked in and sailed down a pipe and went straight to the parking lot. The parking lot had turned into a vast sea.

"Pirates! They are here! The pirates!" yelled the sailors. When Jack turned he was taken aback. A huge boat with big yellow sails. Jack could see the paper pirates swinging their swords. A fierce battle took place. Alongside the sailors, Jack fought bravely! Like a true hero Jack fought. When the pirates boat sunk with many holes, the sailors and Jack yelled, "Hurray, we won!"

Read the passage below and answer questions 39 - 50.

Kenya is quickly joining the bandwagon in the world of using electricity driven cars. Across the citizenry; notworthy government agencies, the new imports concerning automobiles. Government of Kenya seems to have a soft spot for electric cars. All the reasons are well known to anyone who has made the slightest of effort to understand why.

Rather than a petroleum tank, an electric vehicle has an on-board battery that gets charged.

Incidentally, fossil fuel is non-renewable, has fluctuating prices and pollutes the environment. One of the basic reasons for the emergence of an alternative source of power for vehicles, which are fairly eco-friendly and relatively cheap. For the most part, electric cars offer a near-perfect answer. Nevertheless, like all manmade machines, electric cars have some disadvantages.

Mostly, the cars are fitted with batteries that have built in generators to provide power for thrust. Furthermore, electric cars are not necessarily powered by electricity generated by fossil fuel. Renewable sources of energy like solar and wind can be used to generate electricity for propulsion.

In electric trains, the power is transmitted via overhead cables and then stored in batteries. On the other hand, electric cars are plugged into power sources for a few hours to charge the batteries. However, people are yet to fully embrace electric cars and among the reasons given; they are still on a trial phase, and power recharge stations along highways and scanty.

The most noteworthy case about electric cars is that they are eco-friendly. They boast of having zero emissions of carbon dioxide thus minimal environmental pollution. This is contrary to cars with internal combustion engines. It is also important to note that, it is cheaper to operate on electric car compared to a conventional one because it is cheaper to charge a car battery than it is to refuel a tank.

Moreover, electric cars loose just about around 10% of their energy through heat which make them energy efficient. On the same note, electric cars have silent engines thus they produce minimum noise. Conventional cars produce irritating noise. In addition, since electric cars are powered by energy from renewable sources, they prevent the depletion of fossil fuels.

Unfortunately, electric cars are not suited for long journeys. This is because they have less torque and can only attain just some significant speed.

Besides, electric cars are yet to receive the much needed infrastructural support, like charging and serving stations along highways. In fact, most mechanics find electric vehicles complex because they are a rarity and interaction with them is limited to big cities.

Another thing, electric cars are dependent on batteries that store charge which can only supply enough power for a limited number of hours. As a result, a full tank of a conventional car can give a driver more distance than a fully charged battery of an electric car. In this regard, electric car owners have to operate within a given radius where they are confident of getting a power source and a service station.
