I will finish the race and have enough time to take a meal and a nap before you arrive.
And the great competition was set. Then the day came.
“On your marks, set, goo!”The elephant started off the race.

never run before. At the finishing line, he started celebrating but when he attempted to sit down and

1) Read the following passage and answer the questions that follow.
In case you’ve ever wondered how much time your daughter spends taking selfies, a poll in 2015 found
that the average woman between 16 and 25 years old spends over five hours a week. It sounds like a
lot unless you’ve tried to take selfies yourself and know what an elaborate process it can be. Women
take an average of seven shots to get one image, according to the poll; Kim Kardashian said it takes
about 15 to 20. Then there are the filters, not to mention real-life alterations like changing lighting or
touching up makeup. There are also apps you can use for more drastic procedures like changing your
bone structure, slimming your waistline, erasing pimples, and more.
Selfies can be silly and lighthearted, of course, notes Alexandra Hamlet, PsyD, a psychologist at the
Child Mind Institute. But she also recognizes the darker side, when photos become a measure of self-
worth. “With makeup, with retouch, with filters, with multiple, multiple attempts, it’s almost like
you’re never going to stack up,” says Dr. Hamlet, “And that is where I think it gets dangerous.”
We’re used to worrying about how girls will be affected by seeing too many air-brushed images of
models in magazines or movies. But now young people themselves are the models and they’re
wielding their own image-editing software. This leads to a lot of self-scrutiny as they try to perfect
their own images, and comparisons to the pictures their peers are posting. Experts are understandably
worried about what this means for kids’ self-esteem
If you’ve been telling your daughter that she’s beautiful just the way she is, she’s getting a different
message when she opens up Snapchat and sees filters and lenses that alter appearances. Pictures used
to be final; now we have post-production.
Dr. Hamlet acknowledges that some of the filters are fun and distort in amusing ways, but also points
out there’s a so-called “pretty filter” on Instagram and Snapchat. Beautifying filters are used almost
reflexively by many, which means that girls are getting used to seeing their peers effectively airbrushed
every single day online. There are also image altering apps that teens can download for more
substantial changes. Facetune is one popular one, but there are many, and they can be used to do
everything from erase pimples to change the structure of your face or make you look taller. One app
called RetouchMe gives your photo a “professional retouch” using a photo editing team for under a
dollar. The possibilities can be overwhelming, particularly since girls know they are scrutinized on
their appearance — as, of course, they are scrutinizing their peers.
Self-esteem often takes a hit when you start comparing yourself too much to other people, which is
something social media seems to be made for. One study found that frequently viewing selfies led to
decreased self-esteem and decreased life satisfaction. Another study found that girls who spend more
time looking at pictures on Facebook reported higher weight dissatisfaction and self-objectification.
Parents who want to provide a healthy counterbalance to the pressures of social media can start by
evaluating how they use social media themselves. Make sure you aren’t talking too much about the
pictures you post or see, or ask your children to take too many pictures. The occasional photo is fine,
of course, but make a point of prioritizing being in the moment, too. “If you’re taking your kid to a
concert, don’t allow them to film the whole thing and see it only through the eyes of the camera,” says
Dr. Hamlet. “That’s reinforcing this concept that just being here is not good enough.”

2) EXCERPT:A DOLL’S HOUSE – 25 MARKS
Helmer: I have got authority from the retiring manager to undertake the necessary changes
in the staff and in the re-arrangement of the work and I must make use of the Christmas week
for that, so as to have everything in order for the New Year, Nora. Then that was why this poor
Krogstad-
Helmer: Hm!
Nora: (Leans against the back of his chair and strokes his hair) If you hadn’t been so busy I
should have asked you a tremendously big favour, Torvald.
Helmer: What is that? Tell me.
Nora: There is no one who has such good taste as you. And I do so want to look nice at the fancy
dress ball. Tovarld. Couldn’t you take my hand and decide what I shall go as, and what sort of
dress I shall wear?
Helmer: Aha! So my obstinate little woman is obliged to get someone to come to her rescue.
Nora: Yes, Torvald, I can’t get along a bit without your help.
Helmer: Very well. I will think it over; we shall manage to hit upon something
Nora: That is nice of you (goes to the Christmas tree; a short pause) How pretty the red flowers
look, but tell me, was it really something very bad that this Krogstad was guilty of?
Helmer: He forged someone’s name. Have you any idea what that means?
Nora: Isn’t it possible that he was driven by necessity?
Helmer: Yes; or, as in so many cases, by imprudence. I am not so heartless as to condemn a
man altogether because of a single false step of that kind.
Nora: No, you wouldn’t, would you, Torvald?
Helmer: Many a man has been able to retrieve his character, if he has openly confessed his
fault and taken his punishment.
Nora: Punishment -?
Helmer: But Krogstard did nothing of the sort; he got himself out of it by a cunning trick,
and that is why he was gone under altogether.
Nora: But do you think it would -?
Helmer: Just think how a guilty man like that has to lie and play the hypocrite with
everyone; how he has to wear a mask in the presence of those near dear to him, even before his
own wife and children. And about the children ……… that is the most terrible part of it all,
Nora.
Nora: How?
Helmer: Because such an atmosphere of lies infects and poisons the whole life of home.
Each breath the children take in such a house is full of the germs of evil.
Nora: (coming near him) Are you sure of that?
Helmer: My dear I have often seen it in the course of my life as a lawyer. Almost everyone
who has gone to the bad early in life has had a deceitful mother.
Nora: Why do you say ……….. mother?

3) LITERARY APPRECIATION
Read the following poem and answer the questions that follow:
MUNICIPAL DUTY

She stood by the wares
Her child tied to the back
Nibbling a dry slice
While she haggled with customers,
As people milled by
To this and from that care,
With scary eyes.
With no warning
She had gathered
The sack across the chest
Darted off
Like an antelope who has seen a lion.
He raced after her

Wielding the municipal club
Knocking off pedestrians
In the municipal rush.
The child shrieked like a police siren

But he wasn’t deterred
She looked behind
Gasping for scarce air
He only a step away.
Not caring for the lights she dashed into the street.
As he raised the rungu
The driver stepped on the brakes
The car skidded with momentum
Her mouth opened, dazed
But no sound came
Except the agonized crash
Of steel, flesh and macadam
Mashed
Leaving the uniformed phantom
Transfixed

SEHEMU YA A: UFAHAMU (alama 15)
Soma taarifa ifuatayo kisha ujibu maswali
“Swala la idadi kubwa ya watoto wadogo wanaoendelea kumiminika mijini na kuonekana
wakiranaranda mijini ovyo,halijapewa umuhimu wowote wa haja na serikali za nchi nyingi,licha ya
mijadala katika warsha anuwai,zilizofanyika kujadili swala hili nyeti.
Kwa kutokuwa na sheria ama sera iliyo wazi kuhusu haki na usalama wa watoto,sarikali zetu hazina
budi kukubali kubeba uzito wote wa lawama. Hii ni kwa sababu, serikali zetu zimelipuuza na kuvalia
miwani swala hili kwa kuchukulia kuwa litapotea lenyewe katika hewa yabisi. Yafaa ifahamike kuwa
usalama wetu katika siku zijazo utategemea jinsi tutakavyolikabili ana kwa ana tatizo hili wakati huu.
Wakati wa kutenda ni sasa. Aidha, watoto hawa wanaokulia mitaani bila malezi,maelekezo wala
mwongozo mwafaka wa kimaisha, wanakua bila mapenzi hivyo hawajui maana ya kupenda.
Wanachokijua ni chuki na haja ya kulipiza kisasi didhi ya jamii iliyowachonga jinsi walivyo. Hawajali
lolote hata kifo. Wako tayari kujikabidhi kwa haini yeyote mwenye nia mbaya,bila kujali matokeo,
muradi tu, wapate riziki.
Tunapendekeza kwa serikali, washika dau kama vile mashirika ya kujitolea, viongozi wa dini, shule,
vyuo na wananchi kwa jumla wachange bia katika kutafuta mikakati ya kulitatua tatizo hili kabla
halijageuka kuwa janga la kijamii ambalo tutashindwa kulimudu. Mpango wa vijana hawa kujiunga
na huduma ya taifa ni jambo linalofaa kutiliwa maanani.
Tunapendekeza makao Zaidi ya watoto wanaozurura mijini yajengwe ambapo watapata mafunzo ya
kiufundi yatakayowawezesha kujitegemea maishani. Badala ya kulitegea mgongo swala hili, serikali
zinawajibika kuwasajili hawa watoto ili waweze kuunganishwa na familia na koo zao. Utafiti
uliofanywa na wataalamu wa Elimu jamii umebainisha kuwa ni asilimia kumi tu ya watoto hawa wa
mitaani wasiokuwa na mahali wawezapo kupaita nyumbani. Asilimia tisini iliyobaki, angalau wana
mahali wanapoweza kupaita nyumbani ilhali wanaendelea kuwa mitaani. Wazazi tumesahau wajibu
wetu. Wengi wetu tumelikimbia jukumu la ulezi tulilopewa na muumba. Hawa waliojipaka masizi
mwilin mzima, wanaozurura ovyo mitaani, si matokeo ya maumbile;hawakuja duniani kwa sadfa,
hawakuulizwa wala kushauriwa. Makosa ni yetu wazazi. Tuliwaleta hapa duniani, kisha
tukawakimbia.Hatutasamehewa duniani na akhera.
Mwenye njaa hana miiko. Ili kijiruzuku, hawa watoto daima wanachumia jaani.Kwa kudura ya jalia,
huenda siku moja watalia kivulini. Asiyekuwa na wake ana mungu.Aghalabu, watoto wanaozurura
mitaani hupewa pesa na wafadhili. Wakati mwingine wanaiba. Maisha haya ya kuomba au kuiba
wanaona yanaridhisha Zaidi kuliko kumenyeka na kazi ya kibarua kutwa kucha. Kwa bahati mbaya,
watoto hawa wamatumia pesa wanazopata kutoka kwa wafadhili kujichimbia kaburi. Aidha pesa
wanazopatiwa watoto hawa wanazitumia kununulia gundi badala ya chakula.
Wafadhili wanashauriwa wawape chakula hawa watoto badala ya pesa taslimu. Kusema kweli,
unapompa mtoto wa mitaani pesa,utakuwa unainua biashara ya mwenye kiwanda cha gundi,jambo
ambalo litakuwa sawa na kuweka sahihi mkataba wa kifo cha mtoto mwenyewe.
Wataalamu wa afya wanaonya kuwa gundi ikivutwa kwa muda mrefu inaweza kusababisha
upofu au kifo.Wataalamu hawa wanazidi kutuarifu kuwa matumizi ya muda mrefu ya gundi huathiri
ubongo,figo na maini. Mtumiaji pia anaweza kupoteza uwezo wa kutembea na hata kupooza kabisa.

Sababu wanazotoa hawa watoto ni kwamba, uvutaji gundi,huwaondolea njaa,baridi ya usiku na
kuwatuliza mawazo. Ni jambo la kusikitisha kwamba tunaendelea kushuhudia bila kujali hawa watoto
ambao ni kiungo cha jamii yetu,wakijiangamiza. Wananchi kwa ujumla hawaha budi kuhamasishwa
dhidhi ya athari ya matumizi ya gundi.Wafanya biashara wanaowauzia watoto hawa gundi yafaa
wakome,la sivyo wachukuliwe hatua.Kutolitatua tatizo hili la watoto wa mitaani hivi sasa,kutapeleka
kuwako kwa kizazi cha mitaani ambacho kitazaliwa mitaani,kulelewa mitaani,kuoa mitaani na kufia
mitaani.Kadiri mataifa yanavyoendelea kujitia hamnazo kuhusiana na swala hili,ndivyo
tunavyokubalia jinai itawale,sasa na wakati ujao.
Hawa watoto watakapokua,watageuka kuwa wapigaji watu kabari,majambazi,wezi wa kutumia
nguvu ama watatumiwa na mahaini kutimiza uhaini wao.Hawa watoto wenye njaa,watalazimika
hatimaye,kuwatoa wenywe shibe tonge mdomoni.Matokeo ya hali hii ni kwamba katika siku
zijazo,hawa ndio watu watakaotunyima starehe ya kulala unono.Watatuchafya
mitaani,majumbani,vijijini na kutuvizia mabarabarani.Tuna sababu nzuri ya kutiwa hofu na tatizo
hili,kwani jinsi kizazi kinavyozidi kupanuka,inaonekana tumelitega bomu ambalo litakuja kutulipukia
usoni mwetu.”

2.UFUPISHO:(ALAMA 15)
Soma makala yafuatayo kisha ujibu maswali yafuatayo
Lugha ndio msingi wa maandishi yote. Bila lugha hakuna maandishi. Kila jambo tufanyalo kuhusiana
na lugha husitawisha ufahamu wetu wa mambo tusomayo. Mazoezi katika kuandika husitawisha
ufahamu katika kusoma kwa sababu katika kuandika ni lazima kuyatumia maneno vizuri na kufahamu
ugumu wa usemi. Twajifunza matumizi ya lugha katika kuzungumza na kuwasikiliza wengine
wakizungumza. Lugha tusomayo ni anina ya lugha ya masungumzo.
Kuna ujuzi mwingi katika kuzungumza kama vila michezo ya kuigiza, hotuba, majadiliano na
mazungumzo katika darasa. Haya yote husaidia katika uhodari wa matumizi ya lugha. Ujuzi wa kila
siku utasaidia katika maendeleo ya kusoma na usitawi wa msamiati. Ikiwa mwanafunzi amemwona
ndovu hasa, atakuwa amejua maana ya neno ndovu vizuri zaidi kuliko mwanafunzi ambaye hajawahi
kumwona ndovu bali ameelezwa tu vile ilivyo. Vilevile ujuzi wa kujionea sinema au michoro husaidia
sana katika yaliyoandikwa. Ikiwa mwanafunzi ana huzuni au ana furaha, akiwa mgonjwa au amechoka
au amefiwa, haya yote ni ujuzi. Wakati juao mwanafunzi asomapo juu ya mtu ambae amepatikana na
mambo kama huyo hana budi kufahamu zaidi.
Karibu elimu yote ulimwenguni huwa imeandikwa vitabuni. Hata hivyo, lugha zote hazina usitawi
sawa kuhusu fasihi. Kwa bahati mbaya lugha nyingine hazijastawi sana na hazina vitabu vingi. Fauka
ya hayo , karibu mambo yote yanayohusiana na elimu huweza kupatikana katika vitabu kwenye lugha
nyingine.
Inambidi mwanafunzi asome vitabu au majarida juu ya sayansi au siasa au historia, lakini haimbidi
kusoma tu juu ya taaluma fulani anayojifunza . Inafaa asome juu ya michezo, mambo ya mashairi na
juu ya mahali mbalimbali ili kupata ujuzi wa mambo mengi.
