Waswahili husema kuwa safari ya kesho hupangwa leo. Waaidha, msafiri ni aliye bandarini. Mwanadamu anatakiwa awe na mpango madhubuti wakati anapohitaji kufanya jambo lolote; liwe jambo dogo au kubwa. Kimsingi ni kwamba, mtu hawezi akafyeka kichaka akalima, akapanda, akapalilia na kufaidi matunda kwa siku moja. Ni sharti mtu kujua kwamba mambo hutayarishwa hatua kwa hatua na kupatiwa muda ili yatengenee.

Mtahiniwa yeyote anafaa kujiandaa barabara wakati ambapo anaungojea mtihani wowote. Mtu hupata kufahamu wakati wa mtihani mapema zaidi. Kwa hivyo si vyema hata kidogo mtu kungojea hadi siku ya siku kuwa pua karibu na mdomo ili aweze kuanza kujiandaa. Mwanzo kabisa, ni sharti awe na ratiba yake binafsi. Ratiba huwa kama dira na rubani. Rubani anapokosa dira bila shaka atasalia pale hewani na wala hataweza kutua hata kidogo. Hivyo ndivyo ilivyo kwa mwanafunzi pia. Hakuna vile unaweza kuketi tu na kuchomoa kitabu na kuanza kusoma. Mwanafunzi anapofanya hivyo atajipata kuwa amesoma masomo anayoyapenda huku akiyasahau yale ambayo yanampa changamoto.

Mtahiniwa anapodurusu, afanye udadisi wa kutosha. Asichukue vitabu tu bila kufahamu kinachohitajika ili kujiandaa vyema ni lazima asome mwanzo akili ya mtahini. Atafanya hivi kwa kutazama karatasi zilizofanywa awali. Hili litamsaidia kusoma tu yale muhimu kwa mujibu wa kuupasi mtihani huo. Mtu anaposomasoma kila kitu hata kisichomhusu atamalizia kuyajua mambo mengi zaidi ambayo hayamhusu ndewe wala sikio. Huu ndio unaoitwa ukasuku katika kusoma. Hebu nikuulize, je, mwanafunzi anaweza kufaulu kwa kusoma magazeti tokea asubuhi hadi jioni? Hapo nafikiri hatafua dafu mtihanini.

Aidha, mwanafunzi anashauriwa kuwa pahali pake pa kusomea pasiwe karakana. Yaani pasiwe na kelele wala vitu vinavyoweza kumchachawiza msomaji akaacha kusoma. Ijapokuwa wengine hupenda kudurusu huku wakisikiliza muziki, ni bora kuwe kutulivu na shwari kwa uelewa aula. Vile vile, sehemu hiyo iwe na hewa safi; madirisha yafunguliwe, pasiwe baridi sana au joto kupita kiasi. Licha ya hayo, aandae vifaa vyake mapema, mathalan meza, kiti, vitabu, kalamu, karatasi na vingine vingi vinavyohitajika. Fauka ya hayo, awe na saa ili aweze kuyapatia masomo yake wakati maalum.

Kusoma pia kuna mipaka. Mwanafunzi asijilazimishe na kujipagaza bure hasa anapoona kwamba anasinzia. Inafaa ajipumzishe kidogo au atembee kidogo ili kupata hewa safi, halafu arudie kusoma. Ikiwa ni usiku, anaweza hata akaenda kulala ili aamke alfajiri kuendelea na masomo wakati hana chelewa ya usingizi. Ifahamike kwamba binadamu anapaswa angalau kulala muda wa saa sita na saa nane ili akili na mwili viweze kufanya kazi vyema. Pia, anaposoma, ahakikishe kwamba hana njaa wala kushiba sana kupita kiasi.

Wakati wa mtihani, mtahiniwa anafaa kuamka mapema kama kawaida. Afike darasani kabla ya muda rasmi wa kuanza mtihani. Apatiwapo karatasi ya maswali, asome maagizo kwa makini na ayaelewe vizuri kabla ya kuanza kujibu maswali. Kufuata maagizo aliyopewa pia ni sehemu ya mtihani. Asilimia kubwa ya watahiniwa hufeli mtihani kwa kuyapuuza maagizo yaliyotolewa. Kumbuka kuwa mtu hutungiwa mtihani, hajitungii mwenyewe.

Nilikuwa nimeungojea wakati huo kwa hamu na ghamu. Japo niliona kuwa siku hiyo ilikuwa mbali, hauchi hauchi unakucha, hatimaye iliwadia. Mwalimu wetu alikuwa anasisitiza kuwa achanikaye kwenye mpini hafi njaa; waaidha, mchumia juani hulia kivulini. Wahaka usio na kifani ulinivaa kwani nilifahamu kuwa ni vyema kujiandaa mapema ili niende kupokea Hidaya yangu. Furaha mpwitompwito ilinivaa kwelikweli.

Niliondoka kitandani huku nikiimba nyimbo za furaha. Nilijua kuwa safari yangu ingechukua takriban saa tatu unusu. Tayari ilikuwa saa thenashara na sherehe ingeanza mida ya saa nane. Kwa pupa nilivalia sare zangu za shule yangu ya awali. Mwalimu mkuu ambaye angeandamana nami alikuwa amenishauri niweze kuvalia sare hizo. Hafla hiyo yote ingeonekana kwenye televisheni zote nchini. Alikuwa akitaka sare hiyo ipate kunadi shule yake ambayo ilikuwa haijatia fora kwa mwongo mmoja mtawalia. “Shule ya upili ya Busara itatambuliwa leo na dunia nzima," nilijisemea kimoyomoyo. Niliwaza na kuwazua kuhusu maisha ya chuo.

Baada ya kujiandaa, niliharakisha kufika katika kituo cha mabasi. Inshallah, nipate basi bado halijaondoka. Mwalimu mkuu alikuwa tayari amekata nauli ya watu wawili. Basi lenyewe lilikuwa jipya. Mlikuwa na abiria wengi ambao walikuwa wameabiri. Basini mlikuwa na viti vinne ambavyo havikuwa na abiria. Mwalimu aliniambia kuwa twende kutafuta staftahi. Tuliandamana naye kuelekea kwenye mkahawa tukanywa chai kwa mahamri. Japo mwalimu alitaka tunywe kwa haraka, chai ile ilikuwa moto ajabu. Hata hivyo, tulijikaza tukaimaliza. Tulirudi kituoni huku tukihema na kutweta. Tulifahamishwa kuwa basi lilikuwa limeondoka. Kwa hivyo ilitulazimu kusubiri saa moja kabla ya basi jingine kufika. Nilitekwa na hisia za huzuni lakini nikajizuia kulia. Hapo ndipo nilianza kusinzia na kukumbuka maisha yangu yalivyokuwa.

Nilikuwa nimezaliwa katika familia ya ukata. Mazingira niliyokulia yalikuwa yenye matatizo chungu nzima. Haya ndiyo yaliyonifanya kusoma kwa bidii ili niinusuru familia yetu kutokana na uchochole. Nilipopelekwa katika shule ya msingi nilitia fora masomoni nikaweza kujiunga na shule ya sekondari ya kutwa pale karibu na kwetu. Kupitia wadhamini wenye ukarimu si haba niliweza kukamilisha masomo yangu na kupata alama ya A iliyonipa hadhi niliyokuwa nayo.

Mawazo yangu yalikatizwa na milio ya hofu. Mwalimu wangu aliniashiria kitu. Nilipotazama upande wangu wa kulia niliona basi ambalo nilikuwa nikilisubiri likigongana na lori la takataka. Niliharakisha kwenda kuwasaidia watu waliokuwa wamejeruhiwa. Kwa nyota ya jaha, wote walikuwa salama salimini. Lakini tatizo la usafiri likatokea tena. Basi hilo lilihitajika kukarabatiwa tena kabla ya kuendelea na safari. Pasipo budi hubidi.

Punde si punde, simu ya mwalimu ilitoa mlio. Alitazama kidogo kisha akaanza kutetemeka kama aliyetoka kwenye friji. "Wamepiga simu" alisema. Aliichukua, akazungumza nayo kisha nikaona akitabasamu. Baada ya kumaliza, alinifahamisha kuwa sherehe ile ilihairishwa hadi wiki ambayo ingefuata. Nilifurahia sana kwa kuwa nilikuwa nimekata tamaa-muda wetu ulikuwa umekwisha. Tuliamua kurudi nyumbani japo tulikuwa tumechoka hoi bin tiki.

Read the passage below and answer questions 26 to 38

I had always prided myself on my sharp tongue and witty retorts whether in class debates or casual arguments. Thus, when I was selected to represent the school in the regional debate series, I was naturally supremely confident of my readiness for the task. Little did I know that this would turn out to be one of the most important lessons in my life..

The run-up to the finals was a breeze for my team. We were all good speakers who had the benefit of an experienced teacher who trained us well. But in the team, I was undoubtedly the most outstanding speaker. In each of the rounds that I debated, the judges had unanimously selected me as the best speaker. This meant that my confidence was at an all-time high by the time we found ourselves with one week to train before the finals. I had no reason to even think that I would not be voted the overall best speaker for
the debate series.

Unfortunately, this got into my head and I began to get arrogant about the whole busines. I started putting on airs. I would laugh at what I saw as their pathetic arguments and poor debating style. I saw myself as the natural debater who would be let down by my teammates bad performance. As the finals drew closer, I became more and more dissatisfied with my team. I began missing practice, much to the panic of my teammates and the frustration of the teacher. They had no choice but to rely on me to pull through on the day of the finals. As much as they would love to remove me from the team, they could not as there was no replacement good enough.

The day of the finals dawned bright and fine. I practically skipped to the venue of the debate finals, feeling the exhilaration of being able to finally show off my debating prowess. But the reality was not something that I had ever imagined. My absence from the practice sessions had created a rift between my teammates and me. We could not seem to work seamlessly like we did in the previous rounds. Instead, our coordination was so bad that even our school supporters were shamed into silence. When it was my turn to conclude as the last speaker of the team, an expectant hush fell over the hall. Everyone knew that I was touted as the one most likely debater to win the coveted overall best speaker for the series.

As I launched into my speech, I knew that things were very wrong. I was hesitant in my explanation of the issue. I had realised rather late that what I was saying sounded incoherent. It did not in relate to my teammates' points. The puzzled looks on the faces of the judges almost drove me to tears. I had to struggle on with my speech, trying to hold back the hot tears that threatened to overflow. I realised too late that I could have been a really good speaker if only I had not been overconfident. As I sat down after speaking my piece, tears broke their banks and scalded my cheeks. I knew that we had lost the title. Never before had I ever felt so alone, or so rightly so.

Suddenly, a reassuring hand clasped mine. I looked up into the kindly face of my teammate, the one whom I had earlier condemned as a moron to her face. She gestured that it was all right and that I should not feel bad. That made me feel even worse. The other two teammates of mine came over and hugged me. Together, they hoped to stem my feelings of regret and pain even though I had rightfully deserved everything and more. In fact, I had cost them the title. I kept sobbing the word "sorry" to them, feeling even worse now that they had repaid my irresponsibility and pride with their kind words and comforting gestures. Even my teacher came over to give me a tight squeeze on the shoulder to say that all was forgiven. When we were called to receive the prize for the first runner-up position, we went up together as a team and bravely lifted the trophy to salute the cheers of our supporters. I finally realised what it was like to be a team.

Read the passage below and answer questions 39 to 50.

Most African countries are slowly adopting the anti-public smoking campaigns by designating certain regions for smokers. In most countries, there are smoking zones and times beyond which individuals are not allowed to smoke. For instance, even though there is no specific time for smoking, government workers are not supposed to be found smoking during working hours. In addition, people are not allowed to smoke while inside buses, churches, schools and cinema halls. Anyone found breaking this rule will be brought to book. Public smoking is prohibited due to the following reasons.

First and foremost, smoking accounts for a significant number of respiratory infections like lung cancer and throat inflammation. Although, there is no law that stops individuals from smoking, it is advisable to ensure that only willing smokers are exposed to cigarette smoke. This means that those willing to smoke are allowed to do so but should also bear in mind the welfare of other people. All cigarette manufacturing companies have clear warnings on their products advising consumers to avoid excessive smoking. In addition, their advertisements carry strong messages that cigarette smoking is not beneficial to health. There are even scary images of the effects of smoking. Smokers know these instructions very well but, as strange as it is, they ignore them. While buying cigarette packets, their eyes usually cross the many bold advertisements and conspicuous images and rush to see the contents without giving the instructions and images a second thought. They ignore these instructions and images at their own will and later suffer the consequences. On the other hand, the government has a duty of ensuring all citizens are guaranteed safe and healthy environment. This means that smokers should not interfere with non smokers by smoking in public. This policy protects innocent civilians against the effects of tobacco smoke.

In addition, smoking must not be done in the presence of children. It should be noted that parents are role models to their children. Children emulate their parents and other senior members of their societies. No parent is ready to see his school-going child puffing tobacco fumes while studying. This sight is not only disgusting but also unacceptable. Therefore, to avoid exposing children to cigarette smoking, it is necessary to regulate smoking habits. This is why most nations are adopting the anti-public smoking policy to prevent children from learning this habit. It is clear that it is impossible to stop an adult from smoking but it is advisable for the person to smoke while in a designated place. These smoking zones are usually out of bounds for children. Besides, some habits are regarded as public nuisance. A public place is supposed to have order and accommodate people from various backgrounds. The fact that people have different personalities should not be an excuse for anyone to misbehave. Public smoking is public nuisance just like shouting in public. Therefore, anti-public smoking policies should be reinforced, if possible, in all countries.

In addition, the world is struggling to control and eliminate all forms of pollution. In the early years of civilization, most automobiles used fuels that emitted a lot of smoke. For instance, the trains and ships that used steam were largely dependent on firewood to boil water. Consequently, the amounts of smoke emitted by these engines were much more than the benefits achieved by these transport vessels. Pollution was at its best while the destruction of natural forests also became an issue of serious concern. Even though some critics argue that tobacco smoke is not sufficient enough to cause climate change this argument is misleading and cannot be used to justify smoking in public places. In a country where three out of ten people smoke on a regular basis, the average smoke emitted in the whole country is far much more than the smoke that a truck full of rice emits. This means that the smoke emitted when many people smoke on a daily basis is enough to fill tons of gas cylinders. The little amount of smoke produced by each cigarette accumulates in the atmosphere and is responsible for a number of climate changes.

Moreover, public smoking is as dangerous as walking in a workshop without shoes or other protective clothes. Most public places do not have ash trays to deposit the filter or ashes produced after smoking. It is evident that most forest and domestic fires have been caused by irresponsible smokers. Most of them usually dump their cigarette butts along footpaths or in bushes while only a few of them squeeze them between their fingers or step on them to extinguish them. The majority of the population is usually careless and leaves lighted cigarettes on the roadside or public benches. Some are ignorant enough to dump lighted cigarettes butts in public dustbins only to be shocked later by fire eruptions. Needless to say, prohibiting public smoking will ensure that all smokers dump their unfinished or finished cigarettes in designated places. These places are usually equipped with water and fire extinguishers to make sure all emergencies are handled as soon as they arise.

39. Smoking zones are aimed at
    
    1. forcing smokers to give up the habit. 
    2. keeping all people free from smoking. 
    3. making smokers less exposed to the dangers of the habit.
    4. controlling smoking in public places.
40. Any person found violating the restrictions. related to smoking will be
    
    1. banned from smoking again.
    2. punished accordingly.
    3. put behind bars.
    4. made to record a statement.
41. Why are there images on the cigarette packets? They are meant to
    
    1. encourage people to smoke more regularly.
    2. sensitise people about dangers of smoking.
    3. control the rate of smoking in public.
    4. advise people to choose the best brands of cigarettes.
42. What is the role of the government according to the passage?
    
    1. To ban all people from smoking.
    2. To make smoking less harmful to all people.
    3. To shield the non-smokers from the effects of smoking.
    4. To create smoking zones.
43. The word prohibited has been used in the passage. Its opposite is likely to be
    
    1. forbidden
    2. permitted
    3. acknowledged
    4. licensed

    1. often feel embarrassed.
    2. usually have low self-esteem.
    3. always get into trouble with the authority.
    4. may be tempted to take up the habit.
45. Why are smoking zones out of bounds for children?
    
    1. Children do not know the roles of such places.
    2. Children easily get influenced.
    3. To prevent children from smoking. 
    4. To stop children from getting affected by respiratory diseases.

    1. It is a demonstration of lack of self discipline.
    2. It leads to interference with other people's freedom.
    3. It causes pollution.
    4. Smokers are usually uncontrollable.

    1. People were ignorant.
    2. There were limited means of transport.
    3. Steam engines gave off a lot of smoke.

MUGUMO

Miti ina faida nyingi kwetu sisi wanadamu. Hutupatia matunda, mbao, kivuli na hata kuvuta mvua. Nchi isiyokuwa na miti hubadilika na kuwa jangwa. Hii ndiyo sababu ya kuwa na siku maalumu ya kupanda miti kila mwaka.

Babu zetu walikuwa na njia yao ya kuzuia ukataji wa miti. Watoto wadogo walitolewa hadithi za kuwafanya waogope kuikata miti fulani. Miti kama mugumo una hadithi nyingi kama hizo. Hii ni kwa sababu ulitumiwa na makabila mengi kutolea sadaka kwa Mungu.

Hadithi moja inahusu mtu mmoja aliyeishi katika kijiji kilichoitwa Makongo. Jina lake lilikuwa Tangawizi. Watu wa kijiji cha Makongo walimchukia Tangawizi kwa sababu ya kukata miti ovyo. Walijaribu kumzungumzia lakini aliendelea kuikata miti.

"Miti ni mali ya Mungu," aliwaambia. Siku moja, Tangawizi aliondoka nyumbani kulipopambazuka, shoka mkononi na kuuendea mugumo uliotumiwa na watu wa kijiji cha Makongo kutolea sadaka kwa Mungu.

"Watatafuta mahali pengine pa kutolea sadaka," alisema na kuanza kuukata. Lakini kabla ya kuendelea sana, damu ilianza kutoka katika sehemu aliyoikata. Mara aliisikia sauti kubwa kutoka kwa mugumo huo.
Tangawizi!.... Tangawizi!...... Tangawizi!
Kwa vile wataka kuniua, mimi nitakuadhibu.
Kutoka leo, utakuwa kipofu hadi kufa.
Macho ya Tangawizi yalijifunga na akawa kipofu hadi kufa kwake.

24. Taja faida moja ya miti kama zilivyozungumziwa katika hadithi.
25. Nchi isiyokuwa na miti hubadilika na kuwa nini?
26. Muguro una hadithi nyingi kwa sababu gani?

    4. Uliwapa watu matunda.
27. Aliyekwenda kuukata Mugumo alikuwa na nini?
    Taja vitu viwili vilivyofanyika mti ulipoanza kukatwa.
