Nimejaribu niwezavyo kumkanya mwanangu dhidi ya matendo maovu lakini nimeshindwa. Nawaomba wazee wenzangu mnifanyie kazi hiyo."

Kulonga dhahiri shahiri Kiswahili ni mojawapo ya lugha za kimataifa zinazozungumzwa ulimwenguni. Hata hivyo inasikitisha sana sisi wenyeji wa eneo la Africa Mashariki ambao ni kitovu cha lugha hii, tumekuwa tukinyonga raslimali hii kwa ukatili mkubwa.

Ni aibu iliyoje kukitumia Kiswahili kiholela bila kuzingatia kanuni zake huku tukijidanganya kuwa sisi ni mahiri tunapokiporomosha Kimombo kwa usanifu mkubwa. Jinsi tunavyokitema kiingereza sawasawa. Kwa nini hali hii tusiizingatie katika lugha yetu tunu? Wageni kutoka nchi za ughaibuni waliopata fursa ya kuzuru eneo la Afrika Mashariki wametambua utamu wa Kiswahili wakajifunza wakajistawisha. Baadhi ya wageni hao wamekuwa walimu wa lugha hii.

Aidha tunazidi kukitia kitanzi Kiswahili kupitia uchapishaji wa magazeti yetu. Bei ya gazeti la kiswahili inaashiria uduni wake. Habari zinazochapishwa katika magazeti ya kiswahsili ni za kiwango cha chini na ni chache mno cha kuudhi zaidi ni kuwa baadhi ya kaifa za magazeti ya kiswahili hujikuta katika masuala ya kijamii kwa kiasi kikubwa na kuyapa kisogo au kugusia gusia tu mambo kuhusu uchumi,siasa na dini. Hakuna mazito kuhusu matangazo ya biashara. Hakuna habari ya vifo. Hakuna habari za ajira na kadhalika. Si ajabu wakati mmoja niliulizwa mtaani, "Hili gazeti ulilo nalo umemnunulia babu yako?" Swali hili lilinijulisha kuwa fikra za waja wengi imejengwa na mtindo wa wakati mrefu wa kuchapisha magazeti kwa njia hii; hivi kwamba magazeti ya kiswahili yanapaswa kusomwa na wazee na labda wale walioshindwa na masomo skulini.

Nawasihi wananchi wa eneo lote la Afrika Mashariki wazinduke na kukiendeleza kiswahili.

Read the passage below to answer questions 26-38

Is it possible to predict the future? Can we know something before it has taken place? For those of us who do not think it possible, let us look at the case of Janet Henley.

One day, Janet, a colleague of Linda's, a nurse, told Linda that she had dreamt something terrible. Apparently, in her dream, Linda was trapped in a store-room in the hospital and fire was engulfing her. Janet could not remember the ending to the dream. Linda laughed it away as "Overwork!" The dream came again two days later. This time, she saw Linda trying hard to escape but unable to do so because the door was stuck. However, Janet also saw a large hammer in the corner of the room. She related the events to Linda again. Two days later, she dreamt the same thing again. This time she was scared as the number ten kept appearing too.

She got up the next day and felt depressed When she reached the hospital, she realized that the date that day was the tenth. She told Linda, "Please be careful - remember my dream - it's the tenth today." Linda shrugged it off as another crazy dream

At about eleven in the morning, Linda had to get some plasters and bandages for an emergency case from the store-room. As she was rummaging through the shelves for more bandages, she smelt smoke. Before she knew it, there was an explosion and bottles started cracking in the heat. She ran to the door to escape and found it locked. Suddenly, she remembered Janet's dreams. Looking around her frantically, she saw a large hammer leaning against the wall! She grabbed it quickly, broke the lock and scrambled out to safety.

After the firemen had put out the fire and everyone was safe, Linda related what had happened in the store-room to Janet. She added, "I remember you saying there was a hammer in your dream. You know what - that's what saved me. You are psychic!"

It was a scary thought for Janet but she was pleased that her dreams had saved Linda. She never dreamt anything like that again but she could never understand how she knew about the fire.

Was it really a dream or was it a premonition? Was it God's way or just a fantastic coincidence? As you can see, there is no rational explanation — or, at least, I cannot think of one. Can you?

Read the passage below to answer questions 39-50   

A visit to a healthcare provider is often not a very exciting undertaking. Patients and their family members are in an uneasy state during the time. Many healthcare professioanls that we interact with during such visits do not make it any better.

Most of us have come across cold doctors, harsh nurses, insensitive dentists, slack laboratory assistants, unhelpful pharmacists among other not-so- caring healthcare professionals. Experience with such staff makes patients feel worse about their medical condition.

Why is customer experience in healthcare lagging? Why are our experiences in hospitals, doctors' and dentists' clinics laboratories, pharmacies and other health-service providers frequently below par?

Two to three decades ago, healthcare services in Kenya were mainly public. Growing up, those were our natural choices, locally, we had a renowned health centre for outpatient services, there was the general hospital and a few missionary hospitals not too far away. This may not have been the case for every Kenyan. Today, it is different both public and private healthcare servies in most counties are a stone's throw away and some are next to each other. The number of healthcare providers has soared.

Most patients are spoilt for choice. Despite this, many of our local providers do not seem to have improved their experience considerably. The healthcare industry seems to be trailing in its focus on the customer. Kudos to the few providing an exceptional experience.

In the public sector, healthcare services continue to face a myriad or indequancies. There has been frequent labour unrest. There is also lack of adequate supplies, and facilities are poorly maintained. As a result, most Kenyans continue to experience sloppy public healthcare services. The customer
experience in public heathcare certainly needs improvement.

    1. Loose
    2. Quiet
    3. Calm
    4. Lazy
42. According to paragraph four sentence one, it is true to say that
    
    1. there were no private hospitals then 
    2. healthcare services were topnotch
    3. there were few private hospitals
    4. there were many private hospitals
43. Three decades is equivalent to
    1. thirty years
    2. three years
    3. ten years
