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

Jacob started smoking and taking alcohol when he was in Form Three, after having been influenced by his peers. He was introduced to drugs by a "friend who lived in the same dormitory with him. At first he was reluctant, but later he started to feel it wasn't a bad idea af been a very bright student, but now his performance had deteriorated markedly. And because of this new lifestyle, he narrowly made it to one of our public universities.

By the time he joined the university, Jacob had become clinically a drug addict. The addiction was so severe that he would even steal money from his colleagues to buy drugs. In the meantime, he was barely making it in his studies. He would skip lectures and tutorials; and he even missed an examination. The university doctors reported that he was suffering from drug dependency, and he was subsequently discontinued.

After being sent away from the university, Jacob became a destitute. For a while he kept away from his family: he didn't know how to explain to them what had happened. And being cut off from family and relatives meant he didn't have anybody to help, nay, to feed him, on a regular basis. He, therefore, went on the streets and became a beggar. But being a beggar in the streets of Nairobi is a step away from being a pickpocket and a shoplifter, and that is exactly what he became.

The inevitable happened. The law caught up with him, and the poor fellow was locked up for two years.

Jacob was released from jail last year, and as I write this essay, he is trying to recover from his drug addiction. He sees a counsellor regularly, and tries to interact with his family, relatives and friends. At one time, his parents had given up on their son, but after counselling, they have taken the view that Jacob was sick and is now recovering. The fact that the sickness was selfinduced is neither here nor there.

During the period of his addiction, this young man was always withdrawn and uncommunicative. It was as if he lived in a world of his own. Occasionally, he would be violent and abusive. But now he is warmer and more personable. He talks more openly with members of his family, and he also tries to reach out to his friends.

In order to fully recover, Jacob must do three things.

First, he must completely come out of the stage of being in denial. He needs to face the unpleasant fact that he was addicted to drugs and drug addiction which is an emotional as well as a medical condition. Being in denial is tantamount to refusing to accept the reality. It is refusing to accept the truth, to swallow the bitter pill; and as they say, truth shall set us free.

26.  According to the first paragraph, it is true to  say that Jacob.
    1. took to drugs in Form Three.
    2. was not yet a teenager when he started smoking and taking alcohol.

    2. was not affected in any way

    1. noun
    2. adjective

    1. knows he is addicted to drugs
    2.   thinks he is not addicted to drugs
    3. has denied his family members
    4. is not sick at all. 
38. Jacob's predicament can be summed up as

    3. every dog has its day
    4. a small leak will sink a great ship.

Read the passage below and answer questions 39 to 50.

Some people imagine that life would be much more interesting if they were allowed to do exactly what they wanted. But in my view, such thinking is mistaken because behaviour that is not controlled would lead to anarchy. Just imagine what would happen if every motorist drove on the right or the left or in the middle of the road, and ignored traffic lights or speed limits. In a city like Nairobi, one would probably be stuck in a jam for a month, covering a distance of a hundred metres on a good day. When everybody observes the rules, things run smoothly.

Obedience is not a sign of weakness or cowardice. Rather, it is the recognition of the fact that respecting lawful authority leads to social order and harmony. Obedience means doing what is expected. It is also the acknowledgement that the common good transcends individual interests. Of course we must carefully think about what others tell us to do. We must not blindly. follow every instruction. For example, if someone tells you to commit a crime, you have an obligation to defy such an order however senior the person is. What we should obey are rules or instructions that are reasonable; in other words, those that are meant to promote the common good.

Now, why do some people find it difficult to obey parents, teachers or other authorities? The main reason is that they are self-centred. Their primary motivation is to pursue only those things. that benefit them, those that advance their private interests. And because obedience involves doing what others tell them, and frequently having to sacrifice their own desires, their spirits rebel. However, if they would consider the benefits of obedience, they would want to nurture this virtue.

In our everyday existence, we unconsciously obey many rules. No one, for instance, forces us to eat a balanced diet or obey a doctor's instruction. Many of us also report to school or places of work when we are supposed to. If you own a car, no one forces you to take it for service. Why do we do these things almost automatically? Obviously, it is because any act of disobedience would have grave consequences. So, obedience leads to a harmonious, stress-free life

Young people often find it difficult to accept rules and regulations because they think they are unfair or old-fashioned. It is true that some requirements may be illogical, but it pays to consider the motive behind the requirement before dismissing it offhand. Moreover, people we regard as old-fashioned may have a lot of experience and insight. Many have defied their parents' instructions and suffered much heartache later. It should be encouraging to know that even when some parents and teachers appear harsh and uncompromising, they have the best of intentions

39. According to the author, uncontrolled behaviour would lead to
    1. interesting life
    2. lawlessness
    3. ignorance
    4.  freedom.
40. If there was anarchy on the roads in Nairob
    
    1. traffic snarl ups would be endless
    2. traffic would flow smoothly 
    3. people would only travel for a hundred kilometres
    4. many cars would break down.
41. Which one of the following would not lead to clogged traffic in Nairobi?
    1. Driving on the wrong side.
    2. Disregarding speed limits.
    3. Covering a distance of a hundred metres,
    4. Ignoring traffic lights
42. All the following define obedience except
    
    1. respecting lawful authority
    2. doing as expected of you
    3. as a sign of weakness or cowardice
    4. the common good overrides self interest 43. 'We must not blindly follow every instruction' means that
43. all that glitters is not gold
    1. one should look before leaping
    2. birds of a feather flock together
    3. every dog has its day. 
    4. The writer, in paragraph two, advises us to
44. obey all rules and instructions
    1. obey all rules but not all instructions
    2. disregard all fair rules
    3. obey rules and instructions that promote the common good.

    1. They are tactful.
    2. They are kind
    3. They are sensitive 
    4. Obedience is a virtue.
46. What is the opposite of virtue?
    1. Vice
    2. Fortitude 
    3. Prudence
    4. Rectitude 
47. The phrase 'grave consequences' as used in the passage would mean
    1. deadly results
    2. serious results
    3. ultimate results
    4. obvious results
48. Obedience leads to
    1. stressed free life
    2. a harmonious life with stress
    3. stress-free life and harmony
    4. automatic stress free life
49. According to the last paragraph, it is true to say that
    1. when all leaders appear harsh, they have the best of intention
    2. some parents may appear uncompromising but they have very good intentions 
    3. young people disobey rules because they are old fashioned
    4. many of the requirements are illogical 
50. Which one of the following would be the best title for the passage?
    1. Obedience as a sign of weakness

    3. Anarchy in the streets.
    4. The sweet fruits of obedience.

Hakuna kitu muhimu maishani kuliko afya ya akili. Kwa hakika afya hii ya akili ndiyo humwezesha mtu kutenda mambo jinsi anavyotakikana. Mtu mwenye afya ya akili huweza kutangamana vyema na wenzake bila kuwabughudhi kwa lolote. Aghalabu mtu huyu huwa mfurufu wakati wote, jambo ambalo humsaidia kudumisha hata afya ya mwili.

Matendo ya watu wengi katika siku za hivi karibuni yanadhihirisha kuwa afya ya akili inazidi kudorora. Imekuwa kawaida kama sheria kusikia kuwa mtu fulani amechukua silaha na kumwumiza mwenzake vibaya. Wengine wanatumia silaha za maangamizi ya halaiki pasi na kisa wala sababu. Baadaye watu hawa wakipelekwa mbele ya sheria huonekana kuchanganyikiwa; yaani hawajijui hawajitambui.

Je, ni nini hasa kinachochangia kuvurugika kwa afya ya akili? Kwanza, binandamu anapokabiliwa na hali ngumu ya maisha kila uchao, hujipata akihangaika kimawazo. Hali hii ikiendelea kwa muda mrefu pasipo kushughulika ipasavyo, akili ya mhusika huweza kuenda tenge. Watu wengi, wakubwa kwa wadogo wanaendelea kuhangaika kwa sababu mbalimbali.
Matumizi mabaya ya vileo yamewafanya baadhi ya watu kuwa punguani. Kwa mfano, uvutaji wa bangi ni sababu kuu ya vijana wengi kurukwa na akili. Ni vyema tujitenge na waraibu wa mihadarati kwani niazi mbovu ni harabu ya nzima.Kwa hakika dawa hizi hazina manufaa yoyote.

Ili kudumisha afya ya akili, ni lazima ushauri nasaha uimarishwe katika sekta zote za kijamii. Kupitia ushauri walmarika shuleni kwa mfano, vijana watashauriwa kuhusu madhara ya kuandama sana starehe vilevile, watajifunza kuratibu muda wao na kuutumia kwa njia ya manufaa. Vilevile, wataelekezana kutambua mbinu mwafaka zaidi za kuepuka vishawishi vinavyoambatana na ujana.
Serikali haina budi kukabiliana na ulanguzi wa dawa za kulevya. Hili halitafanyika kwa kuwatia nguvuni waraibu tu. Huku ni kama kupogoa matawi ya mti na kuutarajia ukauke. Biashara hii sharti ikomeshwe kuanzia kwa wauzaji wa humu nchini na hata magenge ya kimataifa.

Mtu anapokabiliwa na tatizo, ni vyema kuwaendea washauri ili aongozwe kwa njia ifaayo. Wale walioathirika nao wajikubali na kutafuta matibabu kabla hali zao hazijazorota zaidi. Taifa halitaweza kupiga hatua bila raia wake kuwa razini.

Msenangu alifahamika katika kijiji chao na takriban kila mtu. Watoto walimfahamu kutokana na mtindo wake wa kutembea. Alitembea wima kama askarijeshi na kila alipokwenda kupiga chupa zake, alikuwa na mazoca ya kupiga kwata kama mwanajeshi gwarideni. Sababu nyingine iliyomfanya Msenangu afahamike ni ucheshi wake. Aliwasimulia vijana hadithi za kila aina na kuwavunja mbavu kwa umahiri wake wa kuzitamba hadithi zenyewe.

Ingawa Msenangu alikuwa na umri mpevu sana, alikuwa mmoja kati ya wazee wachache wa kwao waliojua kusoma. Idadi ya waliojua kusoma wakati huo ilikuwa akali sana na mzee huyo aliona fahari kuwa miongoni mwa hao wachache. Habari za kuandikwa kwa katiba mpya zilipofika kijijini, Msenangu alifurahi na kuchanua uso. Hii ni nafasi ya kuhakikisha kuwa nimewaeleza yote yanayohitajika kufanywa : alijitapa Msenangu. Wanakijiji walitaka kuteua vijana wawawakilishe ambapo tume ya kuandika katiba ampya ingefika pale kijijini. Hata hivyo, Msenangu alikazania kuwa ni lazima angekuwa mmoja wao. Licha ya uwezo wake wa kusoma, wanakijiji wengi hawakuamini kuwa alijua lolote kuhusiana na katiba.

Siku yenyewe, vijana walioteuliwa walitumia lugha ya kisheria ambayo ni dhahiri wanakijiji wengi hawakuielewa. Muda is muda, watu walianza kuondoka ukumbini mmoja mmoja. Ndipo bila kungoja aalikwe, mzee Msenangu alisimama. Watu waliokuwa nje ya ukumbi waliambiana, "Haya Msenangu huyo!' Alianza kuongea," Ndugu wanakamati, nimcisubiri fursa hii kwa hamu kubwa. Maneno yangu mimi si mengi kwani sikusoma mambo hayo ya "yesi" "yesi". Lakini ningependa kusema machache niliyo nayo moyoni. Nataka iandikwe katiba itakayoiendesha nchi yetu, kwa njia nzuri, kwa miaka mingi ijayo.Katiba hiyo ni lazima iwalinde raia wote, walemavu na wasio walemavu waonao na wasioona, waumini na walevi' alianza Msenangu. Watu walimtazama kwa mshangao mkubwa.
"Tulieni tumsikilize!” Wengine walisema. Wale waliokuwa wakiondoka ukumbini walirudi haraka kuketi. iangu akaendelea, “Katiba inayoifaa nchi ni ile isiyozingatia matakwa ya kundi moja la jamii tu... zima ziwepo njia za kuwadhibiti viongozi hawa kuhakikisha kuwa wanapotwaa madaraka hawatugeuzi sisi wanyonge kuwa wanase sere wao wa kuchezea, "alisema Msenangu na kutua. Ukumbi mzima sasa ukawa umemtegea sikio ndi!

Wanakumati walikuwa wakiandika huku wakiitikia kwa vichwa vyao. "Sisi wanyonge tunaoishi huku mashambani tuna shida. Wahenga walisema "Sheria ni msumeno hukata mbele na nyuma" Lakini kwetu huku haikati, inakala nyuma tu. Wenye vyeo wanapotamani vikataa vyetu wanavitwaa tu kwa njia rahisi wakitumia vyeo vyao. Tunaposhindwa kulipa pesa za michango ambazo hatuna, machifu wanaamuru mifugo yetu isombwe. Pawepo na sheria za kuwadhibiti watu kama hao. Kwa kifupi, iwe sheria inayotetea tajiri na maskini, mr yonge na mwenye nguvu, aliye nacho na asiye nacho.

Wanakamati wapendwa, usalama umeadimika kama mito jangwani. Sisi wenyewe tumegeuka walinda usalama. Lakini jambo la kushangaza ni kwamba tuwatiapo wahuni hao mikononi mwa walinda usalama wanazunguka mbuyu na kuwa huru.
Katika nchi inayothamini raia wake, bei za bidhaa haziongezeki shaghalabaghala tu. Ningetaka katiba iangalie jambo hili."
Baada ya kusema haya Msenangu akachukua mkongojo wake na polepole akatoka ukumbini na kuuacha umati umeduwaa. Kisha ukumbi ukalipuka pu kwa makofi na vigelegele ukimshangilia Msenangu ambaye alikuwa tayari ameshaondoka.
