Yasome makala yafuatayo kisha ujibu maswali 31- 40.

Ulemavu ni hali ya kuwa na kasoro katika viungo vya mwili. Upungufu huu huchangiwa na mambo mbalimbali. Pengine mtu anaweza kushindwa kutekeleza baadhi ya shughuli za kawaida kama vile kuongea, kutangamana na wengine, kusoma au hata kujitegemea kwa mambo mbalimbali. Mara nyingi ulemavu huwa wa kudumu japo kuna ule uwezao kuisha baada ya kipindi fulani.

Baadhi ya watu hupata ulemavu kutokana na kasoro wakati wa kufanyika kuwa motto tumboni. Huenda mzazi akajifungua salama lakini baadaye akagundua kuwa mtoto wake amekosa kiungo fulani. Pia, mtoto anaweza kuendelea kukua bila kugunduliwa lakini mabadiliko yanayotarajiwa katika vipindi mbalimbali vya ukuaji yakakosekana. Hata hivyo, wakati mwingine mabadiliko yanaweza kuchelewa lakini mwishowe yakatokea tu.

Mbali na hayo, binadamu anapotangamana na mazingira yake, anaweza kuambulia ulemavu kutokana na majeraha ya viungo, ya ubongo au uti wa mgongo. Magonjwa kama vile kisukari na shinikizo la damu pia yanaweza kuchangia ulemavu. Baadhi ya watu waliokuwa wazima hivi majuzi tu wameambulia ulemavu kupitia ajali mablimbali. Ni vyema mtu ajizatiti kuepuka hali yoyote inayoweza kuhatarisha afya yake.

Unaweza kufikiria kuhusu siku uliyoteleza mlipokuwa mkicheza na wenzako, ukateguka mguu au mkono? Pengine unakumbuka namna ulivyoteseka kwa kushindwa kujifanyia mambo muhimu kama vile kuoga, kutembea kuenda haja au hata kula. Yamkini utaniambia kuwa lililokuuma zaidi ya uchungu wa jeraha hilo hilo ni kule kukosa fursa katika shughuli za kila siku. Hata wenzako walipokuzuru kukujulia hali, ulifurahi lakini ukavaliwa na ukiwa pindi tu walipokupa mgongo. Walemavu wengi hupitia hali kama hizi aushi yao yote.

Wakati mwingine watu huzitonesha nyoyo za ulemavu bila kujali hisia zao. Utamsikia mtu kwa mfano akisema, ‘Niitie huyo chongo nimtume’ au ‘Msaidieni huyo kiwete jamani.’ Sharti ieleweke kwamba walemavu ni binadamu wa kawaida na kila mtu anao ulemavu wa aina fulani. Hakuna aliye na wepesi wa kufanya kila kitu. Hata kuwa na moyo wa harara ni ulemavu mkubwa. Tukumbuke ya wahenga kuwa hucheka kovu asiyefikwa na jeraha. Watu hawa wana majina yao. Tusiwadhalilishe kwa kuwarejelea kwa maumbile yao.

Wapo wazazi wanaowaficha wana wao walemavu na hata kukosa kuwapeleka shuleni. Huu ni ukandamizaji wa hali ya juu. Mtu yeyote akipata nafasi ya kutangamana na mazingira yake ipasavyo, bila shaka atabuni njia ya kutekeleza shughuli zake kadri awezavyo. Walemavu wengine wameinukia kuwa watu wa kutegemewa sana na jamii, hata kiasi cha kuwafikia kuwafaa wale wasio na uatilifu wowote.

Kila binadamu ana haki zake. Ni vyema jamii ikubali kuwa waatilifu ni binadamu wanaohitaji huduma kama wengine wowote. Haki zao zitambuliwe na maumbile yasiwe kigezo cha kuwadhalilisha kwa vyovyote vile.

Daktari Maluki alikaa katika chumba cha matibabu akijisikilizia muziki kwenye rukono yake. Alikuwa amefika kazini saa chache zilizopita. Akili zake zilikuwa mbali kidogo.Aliwaza kuhusu kima cha pesa na muda aliotumia kusomea taaluma hii. Akalinganisha na ‘ mshahara tonge’ aliopata kama alivyouita yeye, japo mshahara wenyewe ulikuwa wa kuliliwa ngoa na akina yahe. Aliona kweli kwamba dunia haina huruma. Alipiga darubini na kuwaona jinsi viongozi wakuu walivyojilimbikizia donge nono licha ya kuwa walifanya kazi kwa muda mfupi sana.

Baada ya kutia na kutoa, aliibuka na uamuzi aliohisi kwamba ungemfaa bila ‘kuwaathiri sana’ waliosaka huduma yake. Kwanza, yeyote aliyesaka huduma yake angelipa kifunguamkoba cha shilingi elfu mbili ili apate nafasi ya kumwona. Maadamu, alikuwa daktari mkuu, uamuzi wake haukupingwa sana pale hospitalini. Si kila mmoja anafahamu vyema kuwa mkono mtupu haurambwi? Tena yeye Daktari Maluki hakumwalika yeyote kuja kumwona. Si wanaletwa na shida zao tena kwa hiari yao?

Mradi huu ulifanikiwa sana na kumfurahisha Daktari Maluki. Sasa kipaji kilionekana kumnawiri wakati wote akiwa kazini. Aidha, aliiraukia kazi mapema sana ili aweze kuwahudumia wagonjwa wengi kadri ilivyowezekana. Kufanikiwa kwa mradi huu kulimfanya azuke na mwingine. Alifungua duka kubwa la dawa mkabala wa hospitali ile. Wagonjwa waliokuwa wakija kwa matibabu walikuwa wakipewa dawa dukani pale. Serikali ndiyo iliyolaumiwa kwa kukosa kuleta dawa hospitalini. Lakini sikwambii kuwa dawa zizo hizo zilizokuwa halali na haki yao ndizo walizozilipia pale dukani.

Daima dawamu mbio za sakafuni huishia ukingoni. Siku moja, wasamaria wema walikuja na mgonjwa aliyehusika katika ajali ya barabarani. Alikuwa akivunja damu sana hivyo basi alihitaji kushughulikiwa kwa haraka. Daktari aliitwa lakini hakubanduka pale kitini mwake. Alitaka kujua ni nani angegharamia matibabu. Wasamaria wema hawakutaka kufanya hiyo maadamu hawakuhusiana na mwele yule kwa damu wala usaha. Basi mgonjwa akaachwa kuendelea kuvunja damu.

Watu waliokuwepo walishauriana na kuafikiana kuchanga angaa kifungua mkoba ili mgonjwa ahudumiwe. Hata zilipotosha walimwendea mgonjwa ili wampeleke kwa daktari. Lo! Walishangaa walipogundua kuwa mwili wake ulikuwa u baridi tayari. Daktari alitia fulusi kibindoni na kuagiza aletwe. Alipompimapima, aligundua kuwa amekata kamba. Hata hivyo, alivutiwa na jingine. Ni uso wa mtu aliyemfahamu sana. ‘Haiwezekani......mama........ mam....’ Daktari akazirai.

Kumbe mamaye Maluki alikuwa amekuja kumzuru mwanawe mjini alipopigwa dafrau na gari kabla ya kufika kwa mwanawe. Sasa alikuwa kaenda jongomeo baada ya kunyimwa huduma na mwanawe aliyemzaa, akamlea na kumsomesha kwa shida. Ama kweli, kigumba ni kwa nguruwe, kwa binadamu ki uchungu.

Read the passage below and then answer questions 26 to 38.

Sending children was always done in more than two. It was either to act as security of the other or to provide company. Likewise, it was for us to report if any of us misbehaved along the way or at the place we had been sent to. So, when Luka was sent to where his eldest sister was married, he resisted. It was a long distance away and one was not expected to return before evening. Upon refusing, his mother called Lowe and I to provide the company. Still, he had to be rebuked and threatened before he reluctantly agreed to go.
I can’t remember what information Luka was to relay to his sister. Naturally, children shared such information so that should any of them forget the others would still remind the bearer: We did not ask Luka - what it was because, anyway, he did not look to be in the moods to talk to us until we were some distance away from home. Then, slowly, he started joining us in throwing stones at birds and making fun of cyclists who rode creakily past us. We never made mistakes in the fun we made for we knew the consequences of being too loud.
We walked, ran and laughed. It is this combination of activities that actually made us reach faster. Luka's sister had just come from her routine wedding when we appeared at the home. She was happy to see us and anyway, she had always been. To her, we were all her brothers and one of us was closer to her than the rest. In a very short time; she had prepared tea which we took with the reddish sweet potatoes.
As we were hungrily taking the tea, she disappeared. Immediately, Luka started urging us to leave before she returned but we told him that would be very bad manners. It did not take long, however, before she reappeared, carrying some fresh fish from the lake. She embarked into the preparation as if she knew what was in the mind of one of us.
Outside, we were expected to be playing in the compound but that was far from it. Luka kept urging us to leave because it was getting late. We wondered whether it was getting really late since we had not been ordered to return home by a specific time. The sister heard us arguing and rushed out. She shouted angrily at Luka and asked him to leave alone if he wanted to but the rest of us would wait for the meal. In that furious mood, she told Luka that he was not being tied there.
Somehow, the scolding drum med some sense into Luke's head. Food was soon brought and we ate so hungrily that one would have wondered where the tea we had just taken had gone to. We got satisfied but not at the same time. Luka remained eating alone, long after we had stopped and we kept stealing glances at the latest turn of events curiously. The sister did not hide her surprise.
All along the way back, we walked in two groups, Luka ahead of us and we trailing. He talked to neither of us and never looked back. We were comfortable that way for Luka had had double that day.

Read the passage below and then answer questions 39 to 50.

If you have ever gone to the Coast, then you must have seen the coconut tree. This is because they grow everywhere from people's doorsteps, city streets to the wild uncultivated areas. It grows well in tropical areas around the world. It grows very tall and without any branches, sometimes up to thirty metres high, with the leaves measuring four to six metres long.
The coconut, it is said, owes its name to the 16h century Portuguese sailors who thought the small holes on the fruit resembled a human face. Therefore, they name the fruit Coco which means Grinning face in Portuguese language. Although it is called a nut, coconut technically belongs to the fruit family called drupes, which includes other fruits like peach, plums and cherries.
It is common to see some coconut vendors slice the top of a coconut, put a straw in it and have one drink. This is done in the early growth stages when the coconut has a lot of water that can be consumed directly. The refreshing drink contains sugar, dietary fibre, proteins, anti-oxidants and minerals. However, the water is not the same as coconut milk. Coconut milk is squeezed from the blended, grated or chopped chunks of the white fleshy part of the fruit and also referred to as coconut meat. The meat is high in milk fat and is a popular additive in rice dishes.
Coconut meat is also pressed for oil. The coconut oil has multiple uses - from cooking to being used as body massage oil. Since coconut tree grows very tall, wood from its trunk was preferred traditionally for building houses. The wood's straightness, strength and ability to resist salt made it a reliable building material for boats, bridges and houses in the tropics.
If you thought that that is all a coconut is worth, you will be pleasantly surprised to learn that the coconut leaves too have many uses. Some of these are making brooms, weaving baskets and mats or dried and used as thatch for roofing houses. Such roofs are called Makuti-thatched roofs.
Although coconut is a drupe fruit, it does not get dispersed by animals like the rest of its family (it's too high up anyway). Instead, the coconut palm disperses its seed using the ocean. Coconut is very buoyant (can float easily) and highly water resistant and can travel very long distances across the ocean.

   Hippos live along the shores of lakes, in pools, in deep wide rivers or swampy lakes. Late in the evening, at night or at dawn, they are seen for they searching for grass. There is a limit to the distance they can go must get back to the water before daybreak. They cannot graze in the forest for there is hardly any grass. They seem to believe that their safety is in the water.
   Most of the hippos grazing grounds have no enough grass. This is because of domestic animals and other wild animals like buffaloes, elephants and antelopes which compete for the same food. The grounds become bare through overgrazing. This results in starvation for the hippos and other animals as well. This is the reason why they turn to destroy people's crops in nearby forms.
