Read the passage carefully and then answer questions 26 to 38.
It was very hot and the place was dusty. Munyaka's little hands tightly held onto the hammer, the tool that the child had come to regard as his companion. With short bangs, he broke the huge boulder apart and proceeded to hit each of the pieces into thousands of pebbles. He had to fill a wheelbarrow, for which Mr. Fundi paid him only fifty shillings.
Mr. Fungi who claimed to have built half the houses in Karina estate, was a cunning and mean person. He was arrogant and he had about ten small boys working on his building project. He paid the boys poorly.
"You there! Stop dreaming and work!" he bellowed, saliva flying at Munyaka's face.
Munyaka was started. He briefly looked up, his eyes a mirror of the misery around him. A tear rolled down his ashers face. He continued hitting the rocks harder and faster. Small pebbles flew into the air, hitting his legs and occasionally his face. This disturb him and he felt as if everyone and everything was against him.
"Why? Oh why?" Wondered Munyaka. "Why is life so unfair to me? Other boys of my age go to school every morning and many even have shoes!" What kind of relatives do such boys have?"
He remembered vaguely the good old days when both his parents were alive. There was everything in his home. There was plenty of food and alot of time to play. Then one evening, he saw people pouring into his home. Their faces were downcast and they looked very sad. He tried to catch what they were saying but no one spoke loud enough for him to hear. When he tried to ask why his parents were not at home, someone told him quite casually that they had been involved in a road accident and were in hospital. Munyaka had no other opportunity to ask questions because the same evening he was taken away to live with an uncle.
Later on, Munyaka was told that both his parents had not survived the accident. Munyaka's life went from bad to worse and his uncle became his tormentor. Munyaka would go for days without food and many times he was sent without food and many times he was sent to work on the field to earn his food. When life became unbearable at his uncle's home, Munyaka ran away to work in the quarry like some other boys that he had seen.
Munyaka did not know which was better going back to his unkind uncle or working for the cruel Mr. Fundi. He did not have to wonder for long. The next day, a kind-looking woman accompanied by a children's officer visited the quarry. After talking in low tones with Mr. Fundi, they walked to Munyaka.
"Munyaka, I am your aunt-your mother's sister, Rehema," the woman said, looking at Munyaka kindly." I am going to take you home and look after you. You will never again be a slave to anybody!"

- Truthful
- Helpful

- Industrious
- Mr. Fundi had ______________________ him. boys working for him.
- ten small
- approximately ten small
- ten tall
- over ten small
- Why did Munyaka think that life was unfair to him?
- He was not able to dream
- Small pebbles hit his legs and face
- He was not able to go to school
- Mr. Fundi liked spitting at him
- How do we know that Munyaka would have liked to go to school?
- He thought about school children
- He longed to have shoes like other boys
- He remembered the good old days
- School children had plenty of food
- When Munyaka went to live with his uncle
- looked after him
- played the role of his parents

- everyone died in the accident
- The word vaguely as used in the passage could also mean

Read the passage below and use it to answer questions 39 to 50.
Lifestyle diseases is a term used to describe diseases that have some relationship with the way people live on a daily basis. These diseases are also referred to as chronic diseases because they exist for a long duration and progress slowly, lifestyle diseases include cadivascular diseases or diseases that affect the heart or bloodvessels. They include diabetes, hypertension, some cancer, chronic backache, chronic lung disease and arthritis. These are diseases that affect many people and are a major cause of death.
These diseases sometimes come about because of the lifestyle that we choose. Excessive use of alcohol, smoking and drug abuse for example, can bring about some of the lifestyle diseases. If one engages in over eating unhealthy foods and fails to engage in regular exercise and other physical activities, one increases their likelihood of developing a lifestyle disease.
One of the commonest lifestyle diseases is diabetes. When one has diabetes, he or she has too much sugar in the blood. A combination of factors are responsible for causing diabetes. One factor has to do with genes in the body. There is not much that one can do about that. Another cause is obesity or having too much weight, especially around the middle body. Other factors that can increase chances of getting diabetes include doing little or no exercise, smoking, too much stress and inadequate sleep. Some symptoms of diabetes are feeling thirsty, passing urine too often and having blurred vision.
Another common lifestyle diseases is high blood pressure, also known as hypertension. This is a disease that often does not have symptoms that are noticeable. However if high blood pressure is not treated, chances of getting other serious problems like heart attacks and stokes are high. It is not clear what causes high blood pressure but chances become higher for people who are overweight people who eat too much salt and do not eat enough fruit and vegetables; those who do not exercise; those who do not get enough sleep smoke and take large amounts of alcohol.
Some cancers are also in this group of lifestyle disease. Drinking alcohol, for example is linked to a higher risk of getting liver cancer and breast cancer. Of the less talked about lifestyle diseases is the ear problem. People can have ear problems as a result of regular exposure to too much noise from loud music or excessive use of earphones. Such people can have buzzing or ringing ears.
There are a number of things that one can do to reduce the chances of developing lifestyle diseases or prevent them from getting worse. One can for example, make efforts to lose weight, to reduce salt intake and to eat more healthy sugar and foods like vegetables and fruits. One can avoid smoking and drinking alcohol. Finally one can purpose to engage in regular exercise.
