Read the passage below and answer questions 26-38

The bell for lesson one had just rung. It was the second day of the third week of terra three. Tana sat on her seat and her heart was beating unusually harder. She had just completed the work given the day before. She knew the maths teacher was just about to enter the classroom and demand for the books. Mrs. Hardy was a no nonsense teacher. She never put up with any sort of laziness. Tana was well aware of this and she began to shake a little

She was still thinking about this when from the pavement the sound of shoes as they hit the ground filled her ears. Tana was already sweating. Then the heavy door was pushed and the figure of Mrs. Hardy filled the classroom. Her face was as hard as her name suggested. Not a single trace of smile could be seen. Then she ordered for all the maths exercise books. The class monitor did not hesitate. She hurriedly collected the books from the class members.

"Teacher, I'm feeling terrible pains on my belly. I think I'm very sick and can even die. Please allow me to go outside." Tana said this amid tears. She was holding her stomach with both hands and her eyes looked pale. When she finally collapsed on the floor and twisted on the ground like a snake, Mrs. Hardy believed her. She gave her a piteous look and beckoned some three boys. Together they lifted Tana who was now groaning and carried her outside. The headteacher was informed of Tana's condition and a car was hired to rush her to hospital. The driver in trying to save life, drove at the speed of lightning. They were rounding the last bend to the hospital gate when something breath taking happened.

The car must have lost control and it swerved out of the road and rolled eight times. When it finally stopped rolling, the wheels were facing the sky as the top part supported the rest of the car. When the ambulance came ten minutes later to carry the victims to the hospital, all the four occupants of the car were unconscious. The driver was not very lucky, he died at the scene of the accident. Both Mrs. Hardy and Mr.Riziki the teacher on duty had sustained fractures on the legs. Tana had lost her right arm which cut off at the elbow. The three stayed in the hospital ward for four months in plasters. When Tana recalled the events that led to the accident, she burst into fresh tears. She cried more and more. When she looked at the state of both Mrs. Hardy and Mr. Riziki. She felt her body burning with guilt.

Read the passage below and answer questions 39 to 50

Eyes are the second most complex organ after the brain Only one sixth of the human eyeball is exposed. If the human eye was 2 digital camera, it would have 576 megapixels. Most phones have only 12 megapixels. You actually see with your brain, not your eyes. Our eyes function like a camera, capturing light and sending data back to the brain. You see things upside down but your brain which turns the image the right way up.

In a single second, it's possible to blink five times. You are likely to blink more often when you are talking. The eye is the fastest muscle in your body that's why when something happens quickly, we say in the blink of an eye!" The human eye can function at 100% at any given moment, without needing to rest.

Even if no one in the past few generations of your family had blue or green eyes, these traits can still appear in later generations. The world's most common eye colour is brown. But all babies are born color blind.Colour blindness is more common in males. Blue-eyed people share a common ancestor with every other blue-eyed person in the world.

Although our nose and ears keep growing throughout our lives, our eyes remain the same size from birth. A new-born baby will cry but not produce any tears. Babies do not produce tears until they are around six weeks old.

Blind people can see their dreams as long as they weren't born blind. 80% of our memories are determined by what we see. Your eyelashes keep dirt out of your eyes. We all have unseen, harmless microscopic creatures living in our eyelashes. Yuck!

Your eyebrows prevent sweat dripping into your eyes. It's impossible to sneeze with your eyes open. Although the function of tears is to keep eyes clean, scientists dor upset.

Your nose gets runny when you cry as the tears drain into your nasal passages. Some people have a fear of eyes; it's called omatophobia.

Soma taarifa ifuatayo kisha ujibu maswali 31-40.

Siku moja, mume na mke wakiwa wamekaa pamoja, mume alimwambia mke wake, "Mke wangu nimewakumbuka sana ndugu zangu (kaka zangu, dada zangu na hata baba na mama) tujumuike pamoja na kula pamoja. Kesho nitawaalika ili tufurahie nao katika chakula cha mchana, itabidi uandae chakula kwa ajili yao."

Mke alijibu kwa unyonge, “Sawa, Mungu akipenda."

Asubuhi ya siku iliyofuata, mume alitoka kwenda katika shughuli yake lakini baada ya saa kadhaa alirejea nyumbani. Alimsaili mke wake, “Mke wangu, umeandaa chakula cha mchna kwa ajili ya wageni? Baada ya saa moja watakuwa wameshafika." Mke alijibu, "La. Sijapika madhali ndugu zako sio wageni hapa. Watakula chochote wakipatacho." Mumewe alimwambia kuwa Mungu amsamehe. Alitaka kujua kwa nini mkewe aliyasema hayo ilhali alikuwa amemweleza kuhusu wageni tangu siku iliyotangulia. Aliuliza kwa nini mke wake hakumwambia kuwa asingepika ilihali wazazi wake wangewasili baada ya muda mfupi.

Basi mume ilimbidi aondoke pale nyumbani ili aibu isimfunike na kumzamisha. Baada ya dakika kadhaa, mlano ulibishwa. Mke alienda kuufubgua mlango. Alipigwa na butwaa alipokuta kuwa wageni waliokuja ni wazazi wake: baba yale, mama yake, dada zake pamoja na kaka zake. Alishtuka nusura azimie. Hata hivyo, aliwakaribisha ndani.

Baba yake alimwuliza alikokuwa mume wake. Mke alimjibu kwamba alikuwa ametoka dakika chache zilizopita. Baba alimwambia "Mumeo jana alitupa taarifa kuwa leo anatualika hapa tuje kula pamoja chakula cha mchana. Sasa vipi yeye ameondoka? Tendo hili si la busara." Mwanamke yule alishangaa kwa taarifa hiyo. Alianza kufikicha mikono yake huku akipigapiga mguu chini kwa kuchanganyikiwa. Ilimbidi aingie ndani na kumpigia mume wake simu. Alimwambia, "Kwa nini hukuniambia kuwa wazazi wangu ndio wanaokuja?"

Mume alimjibu, "Wazazi wangu na wazazi wako wote ni kitu kimoja, hawana tofauti."

Mke alimwambia mumewe, “Leta chakula huku. Chakula kilichokuwepo ni kichache. Hakitawatosheleza."

Mume alimjibu, "Mimi nipo mbali na hao si wageni. Watakula chochote kilichopo namna wewe ulivyokuwa ukitaka kuwalisha wazazi wangu." Mke alibabaika sana. Mikono yake ilitetemeka huku akimwomba mumewe msamaha. Aliwaelezea wazazi wake yote yaliyojiri. Nao waliamuru kuwa wazazi wa mume watafutiwe siku ya kuwatembelea wana wao ili waandaliwe mlo.
