Read the following passage and then answer questions 26 to 38.
Teacher Nicholas was also our class teacher. He had a rather difficult surname and hence his request to refer to him simply as Nicholas. He was a piteous-looking, bespectacled man ever in a brown corduroy coat. After bombarding our brains with figures and formulas, he always retreated to his desk at the front of the classroom where he slumped and dozed off only to be awoken by the jingle of the bell. Of all the teachers, he was our favourite because he never administered corporal punishment
Before today's class, teacher Nicholas had mentioned that we needed to think of subjects we hoped to specialize in, in the coming year. There had followed a heated discussion about the merits of various careers.
I had no distinct talent, never felt inclined to any career There was a girl in our class who constantly dreamt of being a nurse. Two classmates had connections to make it to the armed forces. As army generals, with big guns, our homeland could rest safe and secure. A pious student behind me in class was sure of his calling. Even before finally mouthing it we had already nicknamed him .Pope', his deskmate fantasized at being a farmer, a horticulturist to be precise, planting carrots and cabbages. But my future career was just a plain plateau where the horizon was hazy and vague. A few times my mother had tried to help by compiling a list of what she considered to be distinguished professions. From this menu she had read, top to bottom, some familiar and alien names of occupations and watched keenly for a flicker of interest. After she read the last one and I remained still uninterested, she sighed and resignedly. "I guess the time will come."
As much as I did not know what I wanted to be when I grew up, there was one thing I was definite about.! knew what I never wanted to be an accountant. I lost my best friend when he dropped out of school. His father who was an accountant had used his position to embezzle funds from his employer then deserted his family.
"Well, find out what you do best and then work hard at it," the teacher was saying as his voice dragged me back to present. "Another way of finding your life's longing is to read widely: reading will open your eyes to the vasiness and wonders of life's possibilities. Do you like reading?"
I nodded after I realized that the question was directed at me..
"I can help you recognise and develop your own potential," he said. But from now on, he added, paramount in my pursuits, was to perform exemplary in class. With great firmness of purpose which he knew I possessed, I positively could count on his encouragement to improve my academic profile. Was I ready to do that? I hurriedly replied in the affirmative.

Read the passage below carefully and then answer questions 39 - 50
Of all the melon varieties, the watermelon is the most popular among consumers and farmers in the country
There is also the sweet melon, but the growing of this crop has not picked up partly because many farmers are not familiar with it. yet it has huge potential
Sweet melon belongs to the cucurbits family, just like watermelon. The varieties grown in Kenya include Safari F1. It is normally green, and during ripening, it turns light grey or yellow,
The fruit has several health benefits, such as reducing the anti-inflammatory properties, oxidative stress and kidney cell damage. It also has cancer preventive antioxidants. The melon seeds are rich in fat and protein. The fruits have lower sugar levels, unlike others.
Just like watermelon, sweet melon requires warm conditions with loam and sandy soil that is well drained and fertile. The melon can be planted by sowing the seeds and later transplanting direct seeding though the latter is preferred since the seeds are large.
The crop can be grown under irrigation or it can be rain-fed. The former is preferred to prevent long periods of leaf wetness that encourage fungal diseases. Soil moisture test should be done before watering to avoid water logging.
Weeding should be done during the early stages of development to prevent competition of nutrients and space. The crop later develops a cover that helps to conserve moisture and the growth of weeds.
Once the seeds have germinated, it's vital to control cutworms that cut the seedlings at the base of the plant. The crop is also affected by spider mites.
Unlike watermelons, the crop is not easily attacked by fruit flies during the early stages of growth. However, during the ripening stage, the plant is easily attacked by fruit flies which are controlled by use of cultural methods, biological methods and chemicals.
