Read the passage below and answer questions 26 - 38.

Nothing seemed ordinary as an array of silent wind blew around. Fear crept into Mwendwa. Was this real or some sort of imagination? His heart nearly leapt into his mouth when he saw a silhouette of a huge man. A close-keen look proved to him that it was nothing but a tree.

The thought of breaking into a run to save his dear life crossed his mind but his feet were too feeble to move even an inch. His squinted eyes toured from corner to corner trying to unravel the source of the weird noise.

Flooded in fear, Mwendwa stammered an inaudible prayer; something which he had never done from time immemorial. Fervently, he tried calling all the spiritual beings he had ever heard about. However, one thing was crystal-clear, they had better and more 'serious' matters to attend to. In great fear, he broke into a run hoping against hope to atleast salvage his dear life. It was very evident that lady luck was without a doubt not on his side, probably the god's were against him. He quickly tiptoed on a loop and feli face flat. To rub salt to injury, he sustained a deep cut which made him to bleed heavily. As if that was not enough, he had ripped off his short.

Writhing in pain, he leapt off the mucky ground. It was foolish to labour his mind over such a mere thing. Come what may, he had to put up a fight and see another day. Mwendwa knew he had not a single soul on his side not even the Almighty Deity after all his mischief; he had no one to depend on.

He shed teardrops in bitterness and remorse mourning like he had never done before. If actions could be undone then pressing the 'undo' button would have been the best option but if wishes were horses, beggars would ride. A look into the clear sky spelt doom for Mwendwa for he had been far away from home. His family members would be left in shock after learning where he was; no company or even a mobile phone. Nothing of such kind had ever happened to them, for any reason whatsoever.

The rustling of leaves under his feet brought him back to reality. He had to quickly formulate a plan which would see him escape his immediate predicaments. Through thick and thin he had to survive and live to tell the tale if anyone cared to listen. A continued run into an alien place was riddled with the option of no trace but remaining alive was a very slim chance. In the recent days, there had been numerous complains of how difficult it had become to put food on the table. Worse still was the opportunity for Mwendwa getting employed despite being a minor. Nobody would risk it. At the same time, hunger pangs were making his belly to feel uncomfortable. Not even some wild berries would be spotted in sight to quench his starving body. He made a big yawn before proceeding with his journey which only God knew where to.

A clear stream of mountain waters gave Mwendwa a reason to believe that he would actually survive. He knelt down and drank to his fill straight from the stream. All this while he was so grateful to have come across it. He also opted to wash his dry face and dusty feet before marching on. The sun was setting fast when he came across a dusty, abandoned road. He clearly felt that his body was giving in pretty fast. Any nearby person would have helped him but there was none in sight.

With a thud, his mass of body collapsed right away on the side of the road. He was gone, not sure whether he would walk on earth again. After seemingly having had been in deep slumber, Mwendwa came to only to find a young lady with a stethoscope standing next to him. He smiled at her and she did smile back assuring him that he was alive and in the hospital. No family member was in sight but the nurse informed him that they had spent the previous night watching over him and that they had rushed back home before coming back during visiting hours.

The nurse asked him to rest and that they would talk at a later time. Mwendwa obliged though not knowing how he would explain his disappearance as well as his action.

Read the passage below and answer questions 39 - 50.

As the largest of all land mammals, African elephants play an important role in balancing nature. They trample forests and dense grasslands, making room for smaller species to co-exist. Elephants also create water holes used by other wildlife as they dig dry riverbeds when rainfall is low. Herds travel over vast grasslands and they disperse seeds in their dung, which helps generate new green growth. But threats to this giant of the forest are numerous. African elephants are most threatened by the poaching crisis. A great number is killed every year for their tusks; the natural growth rate in most elephant populations has yet to overtake the rate of killings. Many elephants are also the victims of retaliatory attacks after they venture into human settlement and farm areas.

Meanwhile, climate change and human land use are degrading wild lands, breaking up essential elephant habitats and impending ancient migratory corridors. With the growth of commercial agriculture and infrastructure development, as well as extractive industry across the continent, the future of this species is at risk.

To reserve the drastic decline and secure natural habitats, a deliberate effort to protect the ecosystem is needed. Conservation work should extend across a range of states, including Benin, Botswana, Cameroon, Democratic Republic of Congo, Kenya, Tanzania, Zambia and Zimbabwe. Identified priority landscapes- some spanning thousands of kilometres across countries are under watch. Provision of wildlife rangers and community scouts with the skills and equipment is needed to prevent the illegal killing of this keystone species.

At the same time, working with local communities and landowners to minimize habitat loss caused by unsustainable farming and overgrazing is an ideal thing to do. The training of farming communities in conservation-friendly agriculture and creating land-use plans with communities that might otherwise encroach on critical wildlife corridors outside protected areas is recommended.

The Amboseli is a vital elephant stronghold and popular tourist destination in East Africa. The community created conservancies to secure more space for elephants and other wildlife species. On these communal lands there is provision of an alternative livelihood for pastoralist groups using wildlife corridors as grazing land. By building the technical capacity of wildlife protection, rangers on the ground has strengthened monitoring systems that track threats across vast landscapes. Ranger training and provision of monitoring equipment patrol teams have destroyed uncountable poaching camps, arrested the poachers and confisticated elephant tusks and firearms.

However, catching poachers is only half the battle. Training and deployment of sniffer dog units at strategic ports of entry and exit has helped to deter trafficking and catch smugglers. Without effective prosecution, wildlife offenders can evade punishment-and worse still, continue to engage in crime against elephants. Prosecutors and law enforcers offer effective wildlife crime investigation and prosecution.

In Tsavo which stretches across Kenya and Tanzania, cross-border coordination between anti-poaching units and wildlife law enforcement units has continued to deliver the much needed impact. Aerial widlife count shows that elephant population has increased tremendously. In addition to the growth of elephant population, buffalo and giraffe populations have increased. However, some elephant carcasses were spotted. This is a reminder that the elephant species is under constant threat from habitat loss, human-wildlife conflict and poaching for its ivory..

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.
