Soma kifungu kifuatacho kisha ujibu maswali yanayofuata.  

Ukiitathmini jamii yetu kwa makini, utagundua kuwa maovu yanazidi kuzagaa na kushamiri kote. Ni nadra sana kwa siku kumalizika bila kusikia habari za maovu kama vile ubakaji, mauaji, wizi, utapeli, vita na kadhalika. Wengi wamekuwa wakijisaili mara kwa mara ili kupata suluhu. Kuwategemea maafisa wa polisi nako kumekuwa kazi ya bure bilashi. Hii ni kwa kuwa polisi wenyewe nao wana matatizo yaliyowazidi nguvu. Kuna nyakati ambapo polisi huwafyatulia risasi na kuwaua raia wanaofaa kuwalinda. Ajabu iliyoje! Nyakati zingine, maafisa wa usalama huwaua jamaa zao na kujiua wao wenyewe. Hali ya polisi kuchukua hongo na kupuuza sheria imekuwa jambo la kawaida. Chambilecho marehemu babu yangu, Mola ailaze roho yake mahali pema peponi, baadhi ya maafisa wa usalama wamekuwa kama paka waliojukumishwa kuyatunza maziwa. Kazi yao ikawa kuyanywa bila kujali.

Je, maovu haya yanachangiwa na nini? Inadaiwa kuwa jambo la msingi ni kupanda kwa kiwango cha maisha. Wataalam wanasema kuwa kupata mahitaji ya kimsingi kama vile chakula, makazi na mavazi kumekuwa kama kumtafuta paka mweusi katika giza. Wengi wanapozidiwa na mzigo wa maisha, wanakata shauri kuiba, kuwatapeli wenzao au kuua ili wapate pesa za kuzikimu aila zao. Wengine nao huona kuwa kuwaua watoto na kujiua ni njia rahisi ya kujiondoa na kuwaondoa wapendwa wao katika ulimwengu huu wenye madhila na mizingile chungu nzima. Lile wanalofaa kujua ni kuwa njia hizo hazifai kabisa. Awali ya yote, ni jambo la busara kufahamu kuwa Mungu ndiye mwenye mamlaka juu ya uhai wa mja yeyote. Kujiua au kumwua mtu ni dhambi mbele ya mwenyezi Mungu. Maovu mengine kama vile wizi na utapeli humletea mtu majuto tele.

Sababu nyingine ni tamaa. Kuna wengi katika jamii ambao hawatosheki na kile wanachokipata. Kwa nini afisa wa polisi aliye na mshahara ajiingize katika shughuli za ufisadi? Kuna haja gani kwa gavana anayelipwa kitita cha pesa kupora mali ya umma? Daktari wa hospitali ya umma anaibaje dawa katika hospitali na kuziuza kama si kuongozwa na tamaa? Bila shaka, wanaongozwa na tamaa. Tamaa humfanya mtu asitosheke. Anapopata nne, hutamani kuwangepata nane. Pale anapojaliwa kupata sita, huona kuwa ingekuwa afadhali kama angepewa tisa. Japo ni vyema kupiga hatua maishani, ni vyema hatua hizo zipigwe katika mipaka ya kisheria na kanuni zilizowekwa.

Isitoshe, wapo wengi walio na mazoea ya kupuuza sheria. Naam, hawa ni wale wenye hulka za kuenda kinyume na maagizo. Wao hufurahia sana wanapokiuka kanuni zilizowekwa. Yamkini, watu wa sampuli hii hutaka kuona lile litakalotokea baada ya kuvunja sheria. Nimewahi kusikia visa vya watu waliowapa sumu na kuwaua mifugo wa mwingine bila sababu. Furaha yao ni kuona maovu yakitokea na hasara kumpata mtu. Wengine hutembea na rungu na mijeledi usiku wa manane ili kuwacharaza wapitanjia bila sababu maalum. Ajabu ni kwamba wao hawawezi wakatamani kufanyiwa maovu kama hayo.

Aidha, kuna wengi ambao hukosa utt. Kukosa utu humfanya mtu asimjali mwenzake wala kumwonea huruma. Kukosa utu husababisha mtu asijiulize, "Je, nikifanyiwa hivyo nitahisi vipi?" Mwizi anayemwibia mtu pesa, simu, mkoba, kumpokonya mavazi na kisha kumpiga huwa anaongozwa na nini? Huo si unyama? Mtu anawezaje kumkatakata mume au mkewe kwa kigezo kuwa yeye ni mkizi? Je, haelewi kuwa hasira hasara?

Ili kupata suluhisho la kudumu, serikali na jamii kwa jumla ina jukumu la kubuni nafasi nyingi za kazi. Hili litachangia katika kupunguza gharama ya maisha. Matumizi ya dawa za kulevya nayo yanafaa kupigwa marufuku. Walevi au waraibu wa mihadarati husababisha maovu mara kwa mara. Zaidi ya yote, ni jambo la busara kuiombea nchi yetu kucha kutwa ili Mola aiauni.

31. Kwa mujibu wa aya ya kwanza, ni kweli kuwa;
    
    1. Msomaji amekuwa akifanya uchunguzi kuhusu kutokea kwa maovu.
    2. Siku hata moja haiwezi ikapita bila visa vya kutokea kwa maovu kutangazwa.

    4. Mungu pekee na serikali ndio wenye mamlaka juu ya uhai wa mja yeyote.

    4. tabaini

Wakazi wa Ihonje walikusanyika katika kikao cha kumpa heshima za mwisho Bwana Kapombe. Japo awali alijulikana na kila mmoja kama Adili, hulka zake za kukumbatia ulevi zilifanya akabatizwa jina la Kapombe. Jina halisi alilopewa na wazazi wake likayeyuka kama barafu kikaangoni na kupotea kama moshi hewani. Boma lao lilijaa watu kutoka janibu za mbali na karibu. Wapo waliolia na kulalamikia namna kifo kilivyoipokonya jamii mtu wa maana. Wengine waligalagala mchangani na kutishia kujitupa katika kaburi lililochimbwa ikiwa hapakujitokeza yeyote wa kuwazuia. Ukweli ni kuwa kijana wa watu alikuwa ameacha mkono kulingana na maoni ya wanajamii hao.

Japo mwili wake haukuwa umepatikana, ilikuwa wazi kuwa asingekuwa hai kwa namna yoyote ile. Kiwango chake cha ulevi kilikithiri na kupita mipaka. Walifahamu kuwa kama hakugongwa na gari, basi alianguka mtoni na kufa au alikunywa pombe kupita kiasi. Kijana huyo alikuwa ametoweka siku kadhaa zilizotangulia. Ndugu, jamaa na marafiki walimsaka kwa siku tatu mtawalia. Hata hivyo, juhudi zao hazikuzaa matunda. Msako huo ulilenga sehemu mbili kuu, vituo vya polisi na vituo vya kuuzia pombe haramu. Ilikuwa desturi kwake kupatikana katika makao ya wagema tangu macheo hadi machweo, kucha kutwa. Alifanya kibarua na kulipwa hela kidogo, zote zilikuwa zawadi kwa mgema. Alipokosa kibarua, aliiba kuku, shati la mtu au sufuria la mama yake na kuuza. Wakati mwingine hakupatikana akiwa kwa mgema. Huo ulikuwa wakati ule aliotiwa mbaroni ama kwa kupatikana akibugia pombe haramu au kushukiwa kwa wizi wa vitu vya wanajamii.

Alipokosekana katika maeneo hayo mawili, iliamuliwa kwa kauli moja kuwa alikuwa amefariki. Kwa mujibu wa mila na desturi za jamii hiyo, walilazimika kuuzika mgomba na kufanya matanga yake. Siku hiyo ya mazishi', boma la akina Kapombe lilijaa: si wake, si waume, si vijana, si wazee, si matajiri, si wachochole. Vyakula ainati viliandaliwa: ugali, nyama, pure, chai ya maziwa, chai ya mkandaa, kitoweo cha kuku miongoni mwa vyakula vingine.

Harakati za mazishi zilipokuwa zimenoga, mtu mmoja karibu na lango la boma alipiga ukelele wa hofu. Wengine walipoangalia, walimwunga mkono kwa kupiga unyande, kamsa, nduru na mayowe. Ya Mungu ni mengi! Kapombe alionekana akijikokota kurudi nyumbani kwao. Alikuwa mnyonge, mngonge kama utumbo. Alikuwa mchafu mithili ya kilihafu. Alinuka fee ungedhani kuwa ni fondogoo. Wapo waliopiga mbio kwa kasi ya umeme. Masufuria ya vyakula yaligongwa na kukimwaga chakula. Wengine nao walibeba chakula kicho hicho, hasa kuku. Palikuwa na hali ya kuchanganyikiwa katika boma lote. Wachache waliokuwa na ujasiri walitulia tuli kama maji mtungini. Utulivu uliporejea, Kapombe alipewa nafasi ya kujieleza. Kumbe hakuwa ameaga dunia. Mtoto wa watu alilewa chakari bin chordo. Maadamu hakuwa amekula kwa muda, pombe ilimzidi nguvu na kusababisha kuzimia kwake. Alinyooka twaa kando ya barabara kama mzoga.

Alifafanua kuwa alizinduka na kujipata katika chumba kilichoogofya. Hali iliyokuwa mie ndani haikuelezeka kwa maneno yoyote. Alikata shauri kutoka nje. Alipoufungua mlango wa chumba, mabawabu waliokuwa pale nje walipiga mbio kwa hofu na woga wa kunguru. Kumbe alipopatikana akiwa amezimia njiani, alidhaniwa kwamba ameaga dunia, akapelekwa katika chumba cha kuhifadhia maiti. Msamaria mwema alimfanyia hisani na kumpeleka hospitalini alikolazwa kwa siku tatu akifanyiwa matibabu. Kapombe alikula yamini kuwa asingelewa tena. Asingemwamkua wala kumwangalia mgema. Asingewaza kuhusu pombe wala kileo chochote. Hewaa! Alikuwa amepata funzo la mwaka.

    2. walijua kuwa hakuwa amekufa bali alikuwa tu hospitalini.
    3. walizingatia mila na desturi za jamii yao.
    4. walijua kuwa kungekuwa na chakula kingi cha kufurahia.

Read the passage below and then answer question 26-38.

A tense Adhiambo leant on the marble wall. She had been dreaming of this day and when it finally arrived, she could hardly sleep. Her school uniform was well-pressed and her shoes brushed to a shine. She had almost no hair to comb. She wore the white pair of socks that Roselita bought her a month ago. Though she participated in the Luyiah dance which had won in the previous festivals, her mind was on the narrative she was to present and which she knew left the audience in awe. The adjudicators she had met were positive of the narrative and commended her. She had won at the four levels and was now at the national level, where she represented Nairobi County in the week-long festival at the Kenyatta International Conference Centre which went by the short easier name KICC. Their dance had also won. It was her first time at KICC. Roselita and the music teacher had accompanied her and kept on encouraging her,

She looked at the red carpet that covered the corridor. A young woman, dressed in khaki, was using a vacuum cleaner on the carpet. The pupils who lined the long corridor gave her the space to do the cleaning.

"Who will beat me among these pupils?" she studied the pupils, the majority of whom were quiet, probably putting final touches to their poems and narratives.

"Adhiambo, you have the opportunity to prove your ability to the world. You are gifted and have our support," she recalled Roselita's words. "If you win at the KICC, you will visit State House and perform for the President."

She smiled at the thought of visiting State House. It was so exciting a thought that for a moment she forgot what had befallen Rosemary. Her three children had been kidnapped.

Read the passage below and then answer question 39-50.

There was once a man who bought a car. He knew that his car could not run without petrol so whenever the tank was empty, he filled it with petrol. Thus, he went on driving for many kilometres. After sometime, there were such terrible noises in the engine that he had to take the car to the garage. The mechanic looked at it, shook his head and told him that it was so badly damaged that it would never again run smoothly without major repairs. This was because although he had known that the car needed petrol to keep it running, he had forgotten that it also required oil and grease to keep the vital parts of the engine running smoothly.

Many people treat their bodies in the same way. It is easy to remember to eat enough to satisfy hunger, just as it is easy to remember to put petrol in a car. But it is often forgotten that body building foods (proteins) and foods to keep the body healthy (vitamins and mineral salts) are also needed to keep the vital parts in good working order. Such foods are important for children especially when they are growing fast.

A new born baby should have the mother's milk. This means that the mother must eat plenty of good food to have sufficient milk. She should also drink a lot of milk, water and fruit juices, but not too much tea or coffee. If she does not have enough milk she should go to a hospital or health centre to learn the proper way of mixing milk with sugar and water for the baby to take.

The feeding of a baby requires special care. For example, one should never feed a baby with the bottle without proper advice from qualified people. In addition, we should ensure that babies get proper food. Drinks like tea and squash are not good for babies.

Even when a baby is breastfeeding, he must learn to feed at regular times. Some people mistakenly think that a baby cries just because he is hungry. There are many things which make a baby cry; his clothes may be wet or he may be uncomfortable and want to be turned over. Most common of all, he may have wind in his stomach. When a baby sucks, he sucks milk and wind so that his stomach becomes full of milk as well as wind. If you do not get wind out after a feed, he will become uncomfortable and soon begin to cry. When you have finished feeding him, pat him gently on the back to make him release some of the wind through the mouth. Then he will sleep peacefully.

39. Why did the man fill the tank with petrol? In order to  
    
    1. drive for many kilometres.
    2. make the car run.
    3. keep the engine good.
    4. keep the tank full.
40. Why do you think the car made terrible noise? 
    1. It had not been oiled and greased.
    2. The owner had forgotten the grease.
    3. The owner had not taken it to the mechanic.
    4. Its engine was completely damaged.
41. The mechanic shook his head to express
    1. worry
    2. unhappiness
    3. disagreement
    4. shock
42. From the passage, we can rightly say that well cared for cars 
    1. do not make noise.
    2. cannot get damaged.
    3. always run smoothly.
    4. are always at the garage.
43. Many people treat their bodies in the same way suggests that
    
    1. they do not take proper care of their bodies.
    2. they do what the car owner did.
    3. they resemble the owner of the car.
    4. they treat their bodies like damaged cars.
44. When children are growing fast it is very important for them to
    
    1. take minerals and salt. 
    2. satisfy hunger and thirst.
    3. take body building foods only. 
    4. take the right variety of foods.
45. The words a new born baby mean 
    1. a mother's first child. 
    2. a clean fresh baby.
    3. a baby that has just been born.
    4. the last born in a family.
46. Why is it necessary for a mother to drink a lot of fluids?
    1. To be satisfied all the time.
    2. To have enough milk for the baby.
    3. Because this is her main food.
    4. For the baby to be comfortable.
47. Feeding a baby at regular times means
    1. feeding him when he has cried.
    2. feeding him frequently.
    3. feeding him at definite times.
    4. feeding him for a given time.
48. Which of the following best explains why babies cry?
    1. Wanting to be turned over.
    2. Having wind or being wet.
    3. Being fed irregularly.
    4. Being hungry or uncomfortable.
49. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?
    1. Feeding babies with bottles could be harmful.
    2. Only tea and squash are bad for babies.
    3. Mothers should never drink tea and coffee.
    4. The man mentioned bought a new car.
50. The story of the car is used to show that
    1. human bodies require salt.
    2. babies should be helped to release wind.
    3. human bodies require proper care.
    4. cars should be well-cared for.

Johari: Ningetaka tujadiliane vile tutakavyoyatunza mazingira ya shule yetu muhula huu.
Amani: Aha! Naona unayajali mazingira yetu.
Johari: Naam! Baada ya likizo ndefu takataka zimeenea kila mahali, nyasi ni ndefu na madarasa yamejaa vumbi.
Amani: Ni jukumu letu kama wanafunzi kuhakikisha tumeifanya shule yetu kuwa safi.
Johari: Tunafaa kutafuta fyekeo, reki na fagio ili kutekeleza shughuli yetu.
Amani: Mwalimu wetu wa darasa atatusaidia kupata vifaa hivyo katika stoo ya shule.
Johari: Tunafaa tuongee na wanafunzi wenzetu ili tujipange  vizuri kutekeleza shughuli hii.
Amani: Tutajigawa katika vikundi mbalimbali ili kila mahali shuleni pawe safi.
Johari: Haya basi twende tukaongee na wenzetu.
