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

Jeremy lived with his parents in Kongoni village. His father was a peasant farmer who owned a tiny piece of land. Each year, he planted maize and beans on this farm but the family did not have enough to eat. Jeremy's mother moulded pots and weaved baskets to sell at the local market. However, these did not fetch the family much money.

Jeremy was a very clever boy and his father was proud of him. He constantly got very good grades and was top of his class. What his teachers did not know was that Jeremy was always tired and hungry by the time he reached school. He had to walk ten kilometres to school every day. In the evening, he would walk back home and arrive when it was nearly dark. His mother would ask him to look after the younger children while she cooked supper.

One morning, Jeremy's mother was not feeling well. She sent him to fetch some firewood. This would make him late for school. He was worried that he would miss the first lesson.

As soon as he dropped the bundle of firewood in the house, Jeremy hurriedly left for school. On the way, he had to cross a narrow wooden bridge. Some of the wood appeared rotten and could fall into the river any time. So, Jeremy walked across the bridge carefully. Suddenly, he heard a splash and a scream from behind. He turned and saw a small child clinging onto a piece of timber. Jeremy wasted no time. He dived into the river. It was very cold. He felt the current carry him along. He swam hard against it and soon reached the child. He held out his hand and the child clung to him. Jeremy swam to the river bank with the little boy in his arms.

Soon a crowd gathered at the river bank. Among them was a smartly dressed lady.

"You are a brave young man". She said. The overjoyed lady led the two boys to her home. She gave them clothes to change. She told Jeremy, "Don't worry. I will accompany you to school and explain to your teacher why you are late." The lady was pleased with Jeremy's heroic act and gave him a brand new bicycle and promised to pay his school fees when he joined secondary school the following year. Jeremy was grateful and very excited. is

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

There are many sources of natural energy. They include wind, water and the sun. Energy from the sun is called solar energy. This type of energy is renewable. This means that it naturally replaces itself as it is being used. It therefore does not get finished. Solar energy is also plentiful. In fact, in only about 12 minutes, enough solar energy reaches the surface of the earth to supply the entire world with energy.

However, solar energy is not available all the time. It is not available at night. Clouds can also block out some of it. Nevertheless, when there is sunlight, solar energy can be conserved and used later. Moreover, when the sunlight strikes walls of buildings, solar energy is absorbed and stored. During the night, as outdoor temperatures fall, the stored energy is released slowly making the rooms warm.

A device called solar collector can be used to heat water for washing clothes, washing dishes and bathing. Water heated this way can also be stored in a tank to warm indoor air by releasing the heat. Unfortunately, this method of heating water is not used very much because the collector cannot store enough energy required to heat a large amount of water.

Another way of heating water is by using a solar furnace. The method can be used to heat water to temperatures high enough to produce steam. The steam can be used to generate electricity. So far, very few solar furnaces are being used because they are very expensive to build.

All in all, the sun remains one of the most available sources of energy. Therefore, energy experts hope to make better use of solar energy in the future.
