Tarafa ya Kwasi ilikuwa maarufu kutokana na bidii za mchwa za wakazi wake. Uchumi wa tarafa nzima ulitegemea kilimo licha ya kuwa wenyeji wa eneo hili hawakuwa na mashamba makubwa bali vikataa vidogo vidogo tu. Hata hivyo wanatarafa hawa walijua jambo moja, kuwa ukilima pantosha, utavuna pankwisha na kwa hivyo walifanya bidii kubwa katika kilimo chao. Licha ya udogo wa vikataa hivyo, waliweza kupata mazao ya kazole kila msimu wa kuvuna ulipowadia. Tatizo kuu walilopambana nalo lilikuwa usambazaji na uuzaji wa mazao yao. Lakini kwa bahati nzuri pale tarafani palikuwa na mkulima mmoja wa miaka mingi. Yeye alikuwa na shamba kubwa na alinuia kuoa na kumfunza mwanawe mbinu bora za kilimo. Lengo lake lilikuwa mwanawe awe maarufu katika zaraa.
Si miaka mingi sana iliyopita. Mkulima huyu alifunga harusi ya kukata na shoka na ua la moyo wake, Bi Maridhia. Baada ya kuishi miaka minne wakitafuta mwana wao, Mola aliwafungulia njia. Bi Maridhia akajifungua totoshoo, mtoto si mtoto. Hungemwangalia mara moja. Alikuwa mrembo kuliko huralaini wa peponi. Kwa jina walimwita Baraka. Ujio wa Baraka uliwapa furaha kuu.
Kwa furaha hiyo walimwangusha karamu ya kukata na shoka. Yakini si yamkini Baraka alianza safari yake ya maisha kwa furaha. Utotoni alikuwa danga la mwana. Alikuwa mwenye tabia bulibuli. Maadamu waliishi unono, alilelewa kwa tunu na tamasha. Chochote kile alichokitamani alipewa na hata kuongezewa.
Kwake msamiati 'sina' au hakuna hakuujua. Alipata kila kitu labda kiwe hakikupatikana madukani. Naye Baraka shuleni alikuwa wembe uliokata kuwili. Alifuata nyay za wazazi wake ambao licha ya kuwa na vyao hawakudekeza hisia zozote za ugoigoi masomoni.
Baraka pia alikuwa mcha mungu. Alikuwa ngoi aliyewafurahisha waumini wa kanisa lao. Alisoma msahafu kwa uaminifu. Isitoshe hata wakati mwingine alisimama mimbarini na kuhubiri.
Waswahili husikika wakisema kuwa muda hupaa kama ndege. Baraka alijipata amejiunga na shule moja ya kifahari huko ng'ambo. Akiwa huko alitangamana na wanafunzi wa matabaka mbalimbali kutoka kila pembe ya dunia. Licha ya kuwa na furaha ya kupata nafasi hiyo ya kipekee iliyotamaniwa na wengi aligubikwa na huzuni. Kule alijipata katika kisiwa cha ukiwa na upweke. Nayo asilimia kubwa ya wanafunzi ilikuwa na mienendo iliyozorota. Mavazi ya wengi yalipwayapwaya, mazungumzo yasiyozingatia tasfida na nywele zilisukwa kivoloya.
Jinsi muda ulivyozidi kumsonga, ndivyo Baraka alivyozidi kuhusudu tabia za wenzake. Hii ni kwa sababu alichelea kuitwa limbukeni asiyetaarabika. Alishawishika kufuata rubaa. Haukupita muda mrefu ambako aliyazika maadili yake katika kaburi la sahau. Baraka alipotoka kitabia na kupoteza matumaini.
Baraka hakuona sababu ya kuwasiliana na jamaa kule nyumbani kama ilivyokuwa kawaida yake. Alijiona aliyekomaa. Hakujali la togo wala la jando. Chochote alichokiona au kusikia aliiga tu.
Maadamu alikuwa Mwafrika, aliamua kujimbambua ngozi ili awe kama wazungu. Alianza kujutia kuzaliwa Afrika. Yeye hakujali methali isemayo mwacha mila ni mtumwa. Isitoshe, alitamani kubadili umbo la kiwiliwili chake ili awe na kiuno cha nyigu cha kufungasha na nywele za singa. Yote haya aliyadhaminia mapenzi ya wavulana.
Baraka alibahatika kumpata daktari wa kutibu ugonjwa wake. Kwa kutumia karo alienda kufanyiwa upasuaji. Alipeusha rangi ya ngozi yake. Vilevile alifanywa kuwa na umbo la kuwapendeza aliowalenga. Akawa amefanana na wazungu wenyewe.
Anasa zilimnasa. Masomo nayo yakasukumwa mlango wa nyuma. Kazi yake ikawa ni kuzurura kutoka klabu moja hadi nyingine. Wakati akifanya haya, wazazi walijua kuwa alikuwa akibingirisha gurudumu la maisha. Laiti wangalijua kuwa Baraka kabadilika.
Ajabu huajabiwa. Kumbe Baraka alikuwa amejipalia makaa. Alianza kuugua saratani ya ngozi. Nywele, kope na nyusi zilimnyonyoka. Uso wake ulisawajika na kupata mabaka na makunyazi. Vidonda vilishika usukani. Akawa hatazamiki hata mara moja. Halimashauri ya shule iliamua kumrudisha nyumbani akiwa hali mahututi. Alikuwa hajiwezi. Wazazi wake walipomwangalia hawakumtambua. karibu hakuwa yeye. Kovu lililokuwa shingoni ndilo liliwafanya wamtambue. Baada ya muda mfupi, Baraka aliaga dunia. Mama yake naye kusikia hivyo, alizirai na kuipungia dunia mkono wa buriani. Ikawa huzuni si huzuni katika jamaa iliyokuwa na utulivu.

Mengi yamesemwa kuhusu utiifu. Ukweli ni kuwa, watu wengi hudhani kuwa maisha yangekuwa mazuri ikiwa kila mtu angeruhusiwa kufanya atakavyo. Kulingana na mimi, ni makosa kufikiria hivyo madhali mienendo isiyodhibitiwa na sheria ni kiini cha vurugu na ukiukaji wa sheria nchini. Hebu fikiria hali ingekuwa vipi ikiwa mwendeshaji pikipiki angeiendesha kulia na kushoto katikati ya barabara na kupuuza sheria za trafiki? Hali kama hii huweza kusababisha msongamano mkubwa wa magari mjini, hivyo kuwafanya watu wachukue muda mrefu kabla ya kufika waelekeapo. Kutengenea au kuwa shwari kwa mambo hutokana na kila mtu kutafuta kanuni zote zilizowekwa.
Kila mtu hana budi kuelewa kuwa utiifu si udhaifu au woga. Ni hali ya kutambua kuwa kutii utawala wa kisheria huhakikisha kuwa kuna muumano na utangamano wa kijamii. Utiifu una maana ya kufanya yanayotarajiwa. Vilevile utiifu una maana ya kutambua na kukubali kuwa kufanya matendo mema ni bora zaidi kuliko kutekeleza jambo au matendo ya kibinafsi tu. Kwa hakika ni vyema kutafakari kuhusu tunayoambiwa na wenzetu au hata watu wengine. Hatufai kufuata kila maagizo tunayopewa bila kuyatathmini vizuri. Mathalani; ikiwa mtu atakuambia ujihusishe na ujambazi, unafaa kukataa.
Ukweli ni kuwa katika maisha ya kila siku, tunatii kanuni nyingi bila kufahamu au kujua. Hakuna mtu kwa mfano anayetulazimisha kuzingatia lishe bora au kufuata maagizo ya daktari. Wengi wetu huhudhuria shule au kazini kwa wakati ufaao bila kushurutishwa. Ikiwa kwa mfano una gari unalomiliki, hakuna anayekukalifu kulipeleka kwenye gereji likatengenezwe au likakarabatiwe. Hebu jiulize hapo ulipo; je, kwa nini watu hufanya mambo kama haya bila a kuagizwa au kukahiriwa? Ukweli ni kuwa, tendo lolote lile la kutotii au kutotekeleza yale yanayohitajika litakuwa na matokeo mabaya au hata ya kuhatarisha maisha ya watu.
Wanafunzi shuleni wanatakiwa kuvaa sare nadhifu. Wabunge nao wanafaa kuvaa suti. Bwelasuti ni kwa makanika. Hata hivyo wengi hawatii wala kuheshimu uvaaji. Hapo awaliamii nyingi zilikuwa zikithamini maadili sana. Hata hivyo sasa maadili ya jamii zetu yanazoroteka kwa kasi kiasi cha kushangaza. Hali hii imeletwa kutokana na mwingiliano mwingi wa taifa letu na yale ya kigeni. Mwingiliano huu unaweza kuleta upungufu wa maadili. Kwa watu wengi na hususan vijana, kwao upotovu wa maadili ndio ustaarabu ufaao. Kusifu au kuiga nyendo mbaya huchangia upalilizi wa uozo wa tabia. Hali kama hii ikiruhusiwa kuendelea inaweza kuifuja nchi yetu.
Vijana wengi hawataki kutii sheria za uvaaji. Wafaa wakumbuke kuwa mavazi yanaweza kumtukuza au kumtweza mtu. Hali hii italingana na vazi lenyewe, hadhira lengwa, wakati na hata cheo cha mvaliaji. Hebu fikiria askari akivalia bombo na kizibao huku amebeba bunduki yake, mwalimu naye avalie chepeo, kaptura na ndara miguuni, mkunga naye avalie suruali ya kumkaba mwili na blauzi nyembamba katika zanahati yake. Zote nilizotaja ni nguo lakini wanaozivaa ndio hawatii mahali na kanuni za jamii.
Jamii zetu hutuzaini tuweze kuvalia nguo zetu za kijadi wakati wa sherehe. Kama nilivyokuelezea, wabunge wetu hawaruhusiwi kuingia bungeni bila suti na asiyetii hupigwa marufuku. Je, inamaanisha wakivalia fulana waheshimiwa wetu watakuwa uchi? La hasha. Ni vile tu kwa kuvalia fulana waheshimiwa wetu watakuwa wamekiuka kanuni za bunge. Bila vikwazo hivi, baadhi ya waheshimiwa wangekuwa na vibindo vya kutia pesa zao. Bunge ni jumba la heshima linalostahili heshima zake
Nilishasema vijana ndio hawataki kutii katika masuala ya mavazi. Hawa ndio walio katika mstari wa mbele kukosoa mavazi ya jadi. Wengi wao wamelewa na usasa na hawaoni chochote kizuri kutoka jadi. Ni vibaya sana kukosoa mavazi yetu ya kale kwa kuwa yangali na bado yako na mvuto wake. Joho, vilemba, shanga na migwisho ilikuwa na maana kubwa katika vyeo vya wazee wetu. Mzee angelia kigoda akiwa amevaa vazi la utawala, heshima ilikuwa ikiongezeka maradufu.
Siku hizi sote tumekuwa mateka wa kigeni. Mitindo yetu ya uvaaji ni shaghalabaghala. Si rahisi kumtambua msichana au mvulana, mzee au kijana aidha mwanaume au mwanamke. Wote wanadai kuwa chochote kinachoingia mjini ni halali. Hii ndiyo sababu utawaona wavulana wetu wakivalia vipuli, vikufu na hata kusuka nywele. Ya wasichana sisemi kwa kuwa niliyokutajia ya wavulana ni lele.
Mavazi huvaliwa ili kujisetiri. Tuzipe kazi zetu heshima. Tuipe miili yetu heshima. Tukifanya haya yote na tusipokaidi wito, heshima itaturudia. Utiifu ni suala muhimu sana katika maisha ya binadamu.

Read the passage below and then answer questions 26-38
Educating boys and girls together has always been an important and stressful issue. Many parents believe that the educational process can be more effective if the classes are divided according to the gender of the students. Although same-sex schools are considered too conservative and strict in today's times. Nevertheless, there are still supporters of this manner of education. Some parents are not in favour of a co-educational system as they feel that the presence of the opposite gender distracts the attention of students and prevents them from concentrating on their studies. They also feel that some children may not be confident enough to speak up in front of their opposite sex classmates thus causing them to perform poorly.
On the other hand, supporters of co-education feel that as boys and girls tend to be different, it is a valuable experience for both genders to communicate with each other. Moreover, the earlier boys and girls begin to communicate with each other, the sooner they acquire social skills, which are crucial to communicating freely in our day to day lives thanks to the opportunity to learn from teachers of both sexes. Furthermore, if there are girls in the classroom, boys may possibly try to behave better in order well not to lose face in front of the girls. Additionally, co-education teaches students equality as the teachers treat everyone in the classroom equally.
Apart from all that has been mentioned above, educating boys and girls together helps them understand and mutually respect each other from an early stage in life. This can possibly help in building a generation that doesn't suffer from gender bias and is open to healthy competition even between the two genders. This helps them maintain their dignity and educates them to face their failures as well as learn from them. Stereotypes have always been a huge problem in society. They cause issues for both boys and girls in specific roles but co-education can help in diminishing these barriers. For example, some girls would not be offered to work with robots as they are seen to be for boys, similarly boys would be discouraged to take the subject of fashion and textile but this does not matter in a co-education system as they are all treated the same way and encouraged to take similar subjects and take part in similar activities. This can help in overcoming misconceptions from an early age.
- What does co-education mean based on the information above?

- Distraction due to early relationships
- Lack of confidence to participate in coursework
- Lack of attention from teachers
- According to the writer, how do girls and boys develop a mutual respect for each other?
- By having the same teachers
- By occupying the same academic space from an early stage in life
- By playing together
- By attending same sex schools
- From the second paragraph, why is it important for boys and girls to learn to communicate with each other?
- They are different and should therefore learn to do so from an early age

'Early in August, Livingstone set off with another missionary, having chosen the site of his station the beautiful valley of the Mabotsa, some two hundred miles to the north-east, where lived a tribe called the Bakatla Here he built a house with his own hands, and lived for three years; and here occurred his famous adventure with the lion. The villagers had for some time been troubled with lions, which not only raided their cattle-pens by night, but, growing bolder, attacked their herds in open day. The Bakatla set off once to attack the lions, but without success.
Reins receof chesp
"It is well known," writes Livingstone, "that if one of a group of lions is killed the remainder leave that part of the country. The next time, therefore, the herds were attacked, I went with the people to encourage them to rid themselves of the annoyance by destroying one. We found the animals on a small hill covered with trees. The men formed a circle, and gradually closed up as they advanced. Being below on the plain with a native schoolmaster named Mabalwe, I saw one of the lions sitting on a piece of rock within the ring. Mabalwe fired at him, and the ball hit the rock on which the animal was sitting. He bit at the spot struck, as a dog does at a stick or stone thrown at him; and then, leaping away, broke through the circle, and escaped unhurt. If the Bakatla had acted according to the custom of the country, they would have speared him in his attempt to get out, but they were afraid to attack him. When the circle was re-formed, we saw two other lions in it, but dared not fire lest we should shoot some of the people. The beasts burst through the line, and as it was evident the men could not be prevailed upon to face their foes, we turned towards the village. In going round the end of the hill, I saw a lion sitting on a piece of rock about thirty yards off, with a little bush in front of him. I took a good aim at him through the bush, and fired both barrels into it. The men called out, ' He is shot, he is shot!' Others cried,' He has been shot by another man too; let us go to him!' I saw the lion's tail erected in anger, and, turning to the people, said, 'Stop a little till I load again.' When in the act of ramming down the bullets I heard a shout, and looking half round, I saw the lion in the act of springing upon me. He caught me by the shoulder, and we both came to the ground together.
Growling horribly, he shook me as a terrier dog does a rat. As he had one paw on the back of my head, I turned round to relieve myself of the weight, and saw his eyes directed to Mabalwe,who was aiming at him from a distance of ten or fifteen yards. His gun missed fire. The animal immediately left me to attack him, and bit his thigh. Another man; whose life I had saved after he had been tossed by a buffalo, attempted to spear the lion, upon which he turned from Mabalwe and seized this fresh foe by the shoulder. At that moment, the bullets the beast had received took effect and he fell down dead."

- Why did Livingstone not try to shoot the two lions in the circle?
- He saw that the Bakatla were afraid to face their foes
- It was not according to the custom of the country
