Alternatively, one can make a library among his or her friends and exchange books. This way you will buy fewer book but end up reading very many.
Knowledge, so they say is power. We can only write or talk what we know. The more we read, the brighter we get. Reading is a hobby that can keep us from bad company and peer pressure.
The material you read should be right for your age. Don't pollute your mind with dirty materials.
The new knowledge we want to acquire are in books. The best friends should be people who get us books we haven't read to make a difference in our lives.

Kuku aliketi nje ya nyumba yake huku amejishika tama. Moyo wake ulijawa na huzuni mpwitopwito. Je, angewezaje kuujenga urafiki wake upya na mwewe mwandani wake wa chanda na pete? Tatizo sugu lililokuwa limeubomoa urafiki wao wa kufa kuzikana ni wembe. Kuku alishangaa namna ambavyo kitu kidogo kama hicho kingesababisha mgogoro kama huo mkubwa. Mawazo kedekede yalizidi kumzunguka akilini mithili ya pia.
Mwewe naye kwa upande wake pale kiotani alitabasamu kwa furaha mzomzo. Aliurarua mnofu wa nyama wake kifaranga mtoto wa kuku. Kwake alijiambia kuwa, “Sasa ninazidi kujilipa deni langu la wembe. Mtu hawezi kuwa ananipotezea rasilimali zangu pasipo kuzingatia hisia zangu pia. Bado atakuja kunitambua! Atabaki mzazi bila vikembe hadi atakapolipa deni lote!"
Giza la usiku lilikumbatia siku yenyewe. Sauti za mbwa zikawa zinasikika kwa umbali. Bado kuku pamoja na vifaranga wake watatu walikuwa hawajalala. Biwi la simanzi liliwaangukia kuku. Mtoto wake wa kiume alikuwa amenyakuliwa na mwewe. Mwewe asiye na utu wala msamaha. Mbona asingengoja hata siku moja imalizike kabla ya kuanza kujilipa yeye mwenyewe? Kwa nini basi asingekuja wapange mikakati namna ya kulipwa? Utitiri wa mawazo ulimtembea akilini mwake bighairi ya kuwa na mwisho. Hatimaye, kuku aliwageukia wana wake ambao ndio chanzo cha kupotea kwa wembe wake mwewe. Aghalabu, alikuwa amewakanya dhidi ya kuchezea vitu vya wenyewe bila ya ruhusa. Kuku alijua siku moja mchezo wao huo ungewatumbukiza katika kidimbwi cha moto. Sasa moto huo ulikuwa umeanza kuwateketeza mno. Kuku akaishia laiti ningalijua na vyanda vi mkononi. Hata hivyo, akaamua kulitafuta suluhisho la kudumu ifikapo asubuhi.
Jua la asubuhi liliramba umande wa alfajiri huku likimzizimua kobe ambaye alitoka nyumbani mwake asteaste. Mzee kobe alisifika sana kwa maarifa yake na akili tambuzi alizokuwa nazo hasa katika kuyatatua mambo baina ya wenzake. Aliketi pale nje huku akibukua tabu kubwa kuhusu migogoro. Kuku jirani yake aliwasili kwake kwa kishindo. Hapo kobe akatambua ya kwamba lazima kuna jambo. Huku amenyong'onyea kama mkufu. Kuku alimpasulia mbarika mzee kobe kuhusu tatizo lake. Jungu kuu halikosi ukoko. Baada ya kikao hicho cha saa tatu naye mzee kobe, kuku alirudi nyumbani akiwa na matumaini kwamba suluhu limepatikana. Mzee kobe alibaki katika kina kirefu cha fikra ili kulipata suluhisho hilo la kudumu na kumpiga jeki jirani yake. Kwa hakika, ni heri jirani kuliko ndugu yako wa toka nitoke wa mbali.

Afya au siha ni hali ya kutokuwa na maradhi. Hali hii humwezesha mtu kuhifadhi nguvu zake za mwili na kumwezesha kufanya kazi katika mawanda mbalimbali. Mtu mwenye afya bora huweza kutekeleza mengi bila masumbuko. Kwa mfano, yeye huweza kujirausha na kujishughulisha hadi jioni bila kuhisi uchovu mwingi.
Chombo hakiendi ila kwa makasia, nayo afya nzuri haimjii tu mtu. Afya hustahili kupaliliwa na kutunzwa kwa namna anuwai kama vile kula vyakula vyenye viinilishe, kufanya mazoezi na kuandama mienendo miadilifu. Usafi wa mv ili na mazingira pia huchangika katika kuimarisha afya. Ni bayana kwamba mazingira yakiwa machafu hukosa kuvutia na kusababisha kusambaa kwa harufu inayokirihisha. Isitoshe, uchafu huwa hali mufti ya kuzaana kwa wadudu kama vile chawa, nzi, kunguni na mbu ambao ni maadui wakuu wa afya. Tabia ya binadamu huathiri afya yake. Wapo watu ambao wameambulia magonjwa kama vile saratani ya mapafu na kifua kikuu kutokana na mazoea ya pombe, sigara na dawa za kulevya. Wengine hujiponza kwa kuingilia vitendo viovu kama vile kushiriki mapenzi kiholela na kujisababishia magonjwa. Magonjwa haya ni kama vile kisonono na ukimwi ambao umewapukutisha watu kama majani makovu kutoka mtini.
Aidha, watu hujiharibia afya kwa kufanya kazi mfululizo bila kupumzika. Licha ya kwamba bidii ni muhimu katika maendeleo ya jamii yoyote ile, utendaji kazi pasipo kupumzika huweza kuwa na athari hasi. Kuna baadhi ya watu ambao wamewahi kupata maradhi ya moyo, ya kiakili na hata shinikizo la damu kutokana na hali kama hii. Wengine hujihasiri kwa kula vyakula vingi kupindukia. Kadhalika, wapo wengine ambao hupata magonjwa kwa kula vyakula visivyofaa katika kundi hili kwa wale ambao hawadiriki kufanya kazi wala mazoezi. Hawa hujinenepea na kudhoofisha utendakazi wao.
Hali ya umaskini pia huchochea kuzoroteka kwa afya. Asilimia kubwa ya watu nchini humu haimudu huduma bora za afya na lishe bora kutokana na hali ya ufukara. Wengine, kwa kukosa fedha hawapati elimu ya kimsingi kuhusu afya. Hawa huweza kujizulia magonjwa kwa kutojua na kutofuata sheria za afya. Pamoja na hayo, kuna wale ambao wanarithi magonjwa ya kiukoo kama vile bolisukari kutoka kwa wazazi wao. Umuhimu wa afya hauwezi kupuuzwa. Nchi yenye kizazi chenye afya hustawi kiuchumi. Afya ikidumishwa wanajamii huweza kutumia fedha zao kuwekeza katika miradi badala ya kuzitumia kujiunga na kuwauguza wenzao. Ni jukumu la kila raia kuhakikisha kwamba anailinda afya yake na ya wengine kwa vyovyote vile. Walio na mazoea ya kupuuza ushauri wa wanaotoa huduma za afya na lishe wajiase, la sivyo watakuja kujiuma vidole.

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.
- Where are elephants most likely to be found in Africa?
- On grasslands and forests.
- On mountains and grasslands.
- On sparse grasslands only.
- On the savanna and plateaus
- Which of the below would secure natural habitats?
- Development of infrastructure.
