Wapo waliomhurumia kuwa huenda hakuwa na akili razini. Weng walisikika wakisema alikuwa akiadhibiwa na Mungu. Akiwa mkembe walidai kuwa alitumwa na nyanya yake gulioni lakini akakataa.

Watu wengi walijisaili mbona akaanza kukimbia miaka mitano baada ya nyanya yake kutembelewa na Izraili wa kaputi. Baada ya kufanya mazoezi kwa muda mrefu, Subira alianza kushiriki katika mashindano mbalimbali. Aliposhiriki mara ya kwanza, alishika nanga licha ya mazoezi ya bidii nyingi.

Aliendelea kufanya mazoezi pasi na kwenda nguu. Alivyozidi kujitahidi katika mazoezi ndivyo wengi walivyoendelea kumbeza. Hakubwaga silaha kamwe. Aliamini lisani ya wahenga isemayo kuwa atafutaye hachoki na akichoka keshapata. Mwaka uliofuata akiwa na umri wa miaka kumi na sita alishiriki tena katika mbio za masafa marefu.

Ulimwengu mzima ulishuhudia Subira akinyakua nishani ya dhahabu katika michezo hiyo duniani. Subira aliyekuwa akidhalilishwa na kupakwa tope akawa anasifika kote. Jina lake likawa kibwagizo midomono mwa wengi. Miaka michache baadaye akawa tajiri wa kutajika. Waliomcheka wakakosa pa kuziweka nyuso zao.

Soma kifungu kifuatacho kisha ujibu maswali 41 hadi 50.

Kila mwanadamu ameumbwa akiwa na uwezo wake maalum. Mungu alifanya hivyo makusudi kabisa. Hebu fikira ulimwengu wenye watu ambao kila mmoja anajitosheleza. Yaani kila mtu anaweza kujifanyia kila kitu apendavyo. Ulimwengu usingehitaji watu wanaosomea kazi mbalimbali wala watu wasingetegemeana. Upendo na huruma vingekuwa havipo dunaini.

Mungu aliwaumba watu na vipawa vyao mbalimbali. Hata wanaofikiriwa kuwa hawana vipawa, ukiwachunguza vizuri utaona kuwa wana upekee fulani katika jambo wanalolimudu vizuri. Wakati mwingine, sio lazima jambo hilo liwe kubwa sana kiasi cha watu kulizungumzia. Kuna watu wasiokuwa na uwezo mkubwa wa kiuchumi lakini waliobarikiwa kwa uwezo wa kuzungumza vizuri au uwezo wa kuwashauri wengine wenye mahitaji mbalimbali. Hili linatukumbusha kuwa hata vipawa tunavyofikiri kuwa si vikubwa vina thamani kubwa ajabu.

Ingawa kila mtu ana kipawa chake, kuna watu wengi wasioweza kutambua vipawa vyao. Sababu moja inayowafanya washindwe kutambua vipawa hivyo ni kule kutokuwa na mtu wa kuwaongoza na kuwahimiza kuandama safari ya vipawa vyao. Sababu nyingine ni kwamba watu wengine hawaviamini wala kuvithamini vipawa vyao. Kwa mfano mtu anaweza kuwa na kipawa cha kucheza kandanda lakini akawa anataka kuwa daktari hata kama huo udaktari haumo katika damu yake. Mtu anapopuuza kipawa chake na kukifuata kingine tofauti huwa hana hamy na raha ya kufanya kazi ambayo hatimaye atakuwa amechagua kuifanya.

Wakati mwingine watu hupotishwa kuviacha vipawa vyao. Jamaa na marafiki huweza kumshawishi mtu kukiacha kipawa chake na badala yake kukifuata kile cha wale wanaomshauri. Mara nyingi wanaomshawishi mtu kuacha kipawa chake huwa hata hawajauelewa uwezo wa wanayemshauri. Japo watu wengine hufanikiwa kwa kuelezwa kufuata njia ambayo haikuwahusu, wengine hushindwa kufanikiwa, huwa kuna asilimia kubwa inayojilazimisha kuifanya kazi amambo haihusiani na talanta yao moja kwa moja.

Ni vizuri kutambua kwamba kuwa na kipawa tu hakutoshi. Kipawa cha mtoto ni mche unaohitaji maji, mwanga na mazingira mazuri yasiyo na magugu ili uweze kuimarika na kustawi, la sivyo utanyauka na kukauka. Mwenye kipawa anafaa kukilea kwa kukifanyia mazoezi ili kukiboresha. Anafaa kuwa na nidhamu ya kukiendeleza hadi kitakapokomaa. Anahitaji kufuata ushauri na mwongozo wa watu wengine ambao wamekitumia vizuri kipawa sawa na chake.

Tunafaa kutambua kuwa vipawa ni vingi jinsi walivyo watu. Vilevile hata watu wenye kipawa kile kimoja wana uwezo tofauti. Kama wasemavyo wahenga akili ni nywele kila mtu ana zake. Tukumbuke kuwa hata vidole havilingani

Mengi yamesemwa kuhusu ufisadi. Si wanasiasa, si mapadre, si mashehe, si viongozi wengineo wa jamii, wote wametoa mchango wao juu ya suala hili nyeti. Kila linaloenda mvange, sababuye ufisadi. Nchi haina ustawi, kiini ni ufisadi. Kusambaratika kwa miundomsingi asili yake ni ufisadi.

Je, hapo ulipo unaelewa ufisadi kuwa ni nini? Huenda umewahi kujituliza na kutafakari juu ya ufisadi. Unahusika vipi na ufisadi? Umewahi kuathirika na ufisadi, wewe binafsi au kupitia kwa aila na masahibu? Kila mzalendo halisi anastahili kujisaili nafsi yake kupitia kwa maswali haya.

Wakati unapoendelea kuzingatia maswali hayo hebu tuzame kwenye kina cha ufisadi. Kijelezi cha ufisadi ni ile hali ya kutenda au kushiriki mambo yanayosababisha uharibifu au uborongaji wa kanuni au taratibu zilizokubalika kutekeleza mambo. Katika hali hii, ufujaji na ubanangaji huwa vyombo vya ufisadi. Madhumuni yake ya jumla ni kubatilisha haki, kuvotana na haki na hatimaye kuifanya isifuate mkondo wake sahihi.

Mbegu ya ufisadi ni uchoyo; kimsingi, chimbuko la ufisadi ni ubinafsi uliokithiri. Dhana ya kujiwazia kibinafsi katika shughuli zote ndiyo humpa ubinafsi nishati ya kujiendeleza. Kila mja ana kiwango fulani cha ubinafsi. Hali hii ndiyo hupelekea kujitahidi kwa jino na ukucha ili kujihifadhi na kujiendeleza. Ubinafsi wa aina hii hauna kasoro kwani humpa binadamu msukumo wa kujishughulikia kwa lengo la kijipatia natija inayofaidi aila, jamii na hatimaye taifa kwa jumla.

Uchoyo wa mimi-hiki, mimi-hicho, mimi-kile na hatimaye mimi-kila kitu ni uchuro. Ufisadi nao ni uchuro. Ni dude, jinyama, jipweza lenye minyiri isiyohesabika. Minyiri hiyo imepenyeza katika nyanja zote za maisha ya mtu binafsi na ya taifa kwa jumla. Ufisadi umeshamiri na kuzagaa hadi kufikia kiwango cha kimataifa.

Vuta taswira hali ya waja wazito wawili ambao zao zimewadia. Mmoja anajiweza anawasilishwa hospitalini kwa gari. Wa pili hana mbele wala nyuma amefika kwa miguu au pengine kwa rukwama. Kisia mwenyewe ni nani atakayehudumiwa kwanza. Ukitafiti utagundua kuwa sababu ni ufisadi. Mmoja atatadarukiwa ilhali mwenzake . atakawilishwa. Haya pengine ni kutokana na matumaini ya kupewa bahashishi ambayo kwa kweli ni namna ya hongo. Kumbuka, wahudumu wawa hawa ni waajiriwa wapokeao mishahara mwisho wa mwezi.

Katika amali za biashara, uborongaji wa taratibu unadhihirika hasa katika utoaji wa zabuni za miradi mbalimbali ambapo suala kubwa ni kasma. Kiasi na jinsi ni baada ya kuhakikisha kuwa tenda imeliendea shirika fulani. Kasma lazima ipatikane! Si hoja kuwa pesa za kugharamia miradi hii zimetokana na ruzuku au mikopo kutoka kwa wafadhili. Ghushi za kila aina zitatumiwa ili kasma ipatikane. Katika hali kama hii, si ajabu matokeo ni kuharibika kwa miundomsingi katika sekta mbalimbali zinazohusika na usambazaji wa huduma kwa wananchi.

Ni dhahiri shahiri kuwa kila mmoja anapaswa kujumuika katika kitali hiki dhidi ya ubinafsi, ufisadi na ubanangaji. Sote tukianzia na viongozi, tunapaswa kujifunga nira kupambana na ufisadi. Wananchi wahamasishwe juu ya wajibu wao katika vita hivi vikali. Sote tuzinduke na kufahamu hicho kidogo cha ziada, hiyo fadhili, mapendeleo hayo ambayo msingi wake ni kuvuruga utaratibu yatatuponza. Changamoto kwa kila mmoja wetu ni: Tuko tayari kuziasa nafsi zetu ili zitambue athari za ubinafsi na hivyo kuzikabili vilivyo? Tutakapotambua kuwa waendelezaji wa ubinafsi ni mimi na wewe, hapo ndipo vita hivi vitakapoanza kufanikiwa.

Mzee Maganga alikuwa tajiri maarufu katika mtaa wa Shwari. Wakazi wengi walimstahi kutokana na idili na maarifa yake ya kuendesha biashara. Aidha mzee huyu asingejumuishwa katika orodha ya adinasi wenye mkono birika. Hakika mzee huyu alikuwa mkwasi wa mali na moyo kwani mbali na kuwakidhia wanawe mahitaji yao yote, aliwasabilia wanakijiji kwa mengi. Wapo waliopewa ruzuku za vyakula, karo za wanao ada ya matibabu na hata vibarua almradi waweze kuzikimu aila zao.

Maganga mwenyewe hakuzaliwa na asali mdomoni. Inasemekana baba yake alikuwa fukara fukefuke. Kwa bahati nzuri alipata msaada wa kanisa akawaelimisha maganga na nduguze hadi vyuo vikuu. Ndugu zake walipata kazi serikalini lakini Maganga ambaye alisomea elimu biashara aliamua kuanzisha kazi yake binafsi. Alikuwa na maduka kadhaa kuanzia yale ya vipuri, ya nafaka, ya vitabu na hata kiwanda cha kukobolea mpunga.

Makali ya umri sasa yalianza kumlemea Maganga. Alikuwa si yule Maganga aliyerauka mapema kuenda kukagua shughuli katika biashara zake. Kila mara alijihisi mnyonge huku mwili wake ukilemewa na maumivu ya viungo. Maganga alijawa na hofu sio kwa sababu ya hali hii mpya kwani alielewa kuwa hii ni ada ya kila mja. Moyo ulimwuma kutokana na hali ya mwanawe wa pekee kuandama anasa kila uchao. Majanga alihofia kuwa angeenda kaburini na biashara zake.

Siku moja, Maganga alimwita mwanawe akamshtakia hali. Alimweleza kinagaubaga kuwa utendakazi wake ulikuwa ukikaribia ukingoni. Kijana alionyesha huruma machoni lakini moyo ulimdunda kwa raha ya kurithi milki ya baba yake. Mzee mwenyewe aliliona hili waziwazi. Hata hivyo alijitia hamnazo. Alimwagiza mwanawe ampelekee shilingi laki moja, pesa taslimu alizozifanyia kazi yeye mwenyewe. Kijana alimweleza mamaye, naye akaahidi kumpa fulusi zile baada ya juma moja.

Baada ya kupokea kitita kile kutoka kwa mama yake, kijana alimwendea mzee Maganga chumbani alimokuwa akiota moto. Bila kuzihesabu pesa zile, mzee alizitupa motoni zikateketea huku kijana amejitazamia tu, akingoja mzee atimize ahadi kwani ahadi ni deni. Hapo mzee alimtazama kijana akasema, "Nenda uniletee shilingi laki moja; jasho lako hasa!”

Kijana alikereka moyoni, akatuhumu kuwa mama alikuwa amemsaliti. Aliwaendea marafiki zake waliozoea kustarahe pamoja. Vijana wale walichanga bia, wakampa kiasi kile akaondoka kwa furaha. "Sasa baba atatambua kuwa mimi pia nina uwezo wa kuchuma”, akajiambia huku akielekea kwa baba yake. Hata hivyo hali ilikuwa kama ile ile ya kwanza. Moyo ulimwuma kijana kwa ujeuri wa babaye akaondoka huku akilaani.

Hamu ya kupata urithi ilimtia kijana ari ya kutimiza matakwa ya baba yake. Alibeba nguo chache akafunga safari kuenda katika mji wa mbali. Alipata kazi ya utwana akaifanya kwa hamu huku akitunduiza kidogo alicholipwa kila mwezi. Kwa miaka miwili, hakuthubutu kununua mavazi mazuri wala kushiriki anasa. Pesa zilipotosha, aliwaaga waajiri kwa heshima akafunga safari ya kurudi nyumbani. Wakati huu, alikuwa na hakika kwamba mambo yake yangetengenea.

Kijana alipofika nyumbani, hali yake ilikuwa ya kuhuzunisha. Alimwendea baba yake akampa pesa kama awali. Baba naye alikirudia kitendo kilekile. Kwa hamaki kuu, kijana aliutia mkono motoni bila kujali majeraha aliyopata akazitoa pesa zile kabla hazijateketea. Alimweleza babaye kimasomaso kwamba hakujali kukosa urithi lakini asingekubali jasho lake litiwe motoni. Aliondoka akajifungia chumbani mwake.

Siku iliyofuata, Maganga aliwaita wasimamizi wa biashara zake. "Sasa naona mwanangu ametambua kuwa uchungu wa mwana aujuaye ni mzazi. Ninampa usukani wa biashara zangu zote." Hapo ndipo kijana alipolifumbua fumbo la baba yake. Alimwangukia miguuni akamwomba radhi na kumshukuru kwa kumpa elimu isiyopatikana katika chuo chochote. Kijana aliendeleza biashara vizuri huku akijitenga na marafiki waliomshawishi kushiriki anasa. Hakika alifanikiwa hata kuliko baba yake. Akaiyeyusha hofu ya mzee Maganga

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

The weekend had been extremely busy for me. It was not surprising, therefore, that I overslept on Monday morning. Mum's numerous attempts to wake me up on time did not work. But I really had no regrets. My best friends had visited me on Saturday and they had agreed to prolong their stay until Sunday evening after a little persuasion. You can imagine how weary I became, trying my best to entertain six teenagers with keen appetites. On the whole, it was great fun. My parents left us alone, though they occassionally enquired if everyting was alright. We chatted away for hours told stories, cracked jokes, played and shared experiences.

Monday morning! When it dawned on me that I had to go to school, I struggled out of bed, dressed up hastily threw a few books into my school bag and I was halfway to school before I realised I had not even washed my face. My hair was a mess. I dreaded facing my classmates and my teachers in that state, but I convinced myself that there were usually many other pupils who looked worse.

I arrived late. The teacher on duty was the unforgiving type. She didn't ask for any explanation. Instead, she ordered me to sweep the workshop during lunch break. I was lucky I had eaten plenty of food over the weekend.

In the classroom, the history teacher was full of mockery. "Look at her, walking like a queen but looking like a scarecrow!" The girls giggled, casting curious glances at me.

It did not last long however. I glared at them and I must have looked dangerous. Perhaps they remembered my grandmother who had once terrorised everyone in the local market when another woman insulted her. People still tell different versions of the story but they all agree that the woman groaned in bed for a week and never again insulted another person. They say I resemble my grandmother in more ways than one.

That was the way my day begun and you are right if you think I did not concentrate in my lessons. More than once the teacher had shouted at me, "Jane, pay attention!" I longed for the end of the day and I hoped that Tuesday would be more fulfilling. However, on the way home, I witnessed something that aroused my curiosity.

From a distance, I could see a huge crowd watching something. Vehicles were parked on either side of the road. I ran to the scene and found my way to the front. What I saw shocked me. A man of about fifty was trapped inside a wreck of a car, bleeding. Each time he tried to speak, his face twisted in pain. I heard that the driver lost control of the car after the brakes had failed and it had rolled several times before crashing into a tree.

The crowd just stared. They stood there shrugging their shoulders and mumbling meaningless things. Nobody tried to save his life. Nobody except one lady, a nurse I think, who behaved as if the crowd did not exist. She had put her bag down, taken off her expensive-looking cardigan and was tearing it to pieces and tying the man's wounds to stop the bleeding.

Satisfied that the bleeding was checked, she started dragging him out of the mangled car but he was too heavy for her. She looked at the crowd but nobody moved forward to help. Then her pleading eyes caught mine. I stepped forward and together with that great woman, we got him out of the car and carried him, with great difficulty, to a police car that had just come. My disappointment vanished. I felt happy that I had been of assistance to a needy person. The 'nurse' and I bid each other farewell. As she walked away in the opposite direction, I knew I had had an encounter with a truly wonderful person. My day had not been wasted after all.

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

There are obvious differences between the rural and urban life. Such differences are evident in the availability of certain facilities, people's activities, the kind of neighbours they have and even the pace at which they do things. Although it is difficult to do everything uniform, some of the differences can be minimised. Infact some of the facilities are only readily available in towns for example, butare essential to all people wherever they live.

A great deal has been done in providing modern facilities such as electricity, telephone services and tap water in rural areas. As a result, some rural homes are now similar to those in urban centres. In addition, a number of rural shopping centres have now been blessed with shops, richly stocked with a wide variety of commodities which were previously only available to urban folk.

Many people in urban centres work in factories, offices and shops. The nature of their work influences their lifestyle. Since work, for instance, has to begin at a certain time, people usually have to wake up early, catch a bus or a matatu or even walk and make sure that they arrive on time. That is why they seem more strict with time. In fact, a person visiting a city like Nairobi from the rural areas is amazed at how busy urban people look. Everybody seems to rush all the time. They do not even have the time to shake hands or to have a friendly chat. In banks, restaurants and shops, they seem to have little patience. They are always rushing, pushing and scrambling....

People from the rural areas are likely to find towns strange and unfriendly. It is easy to notice them because sometimes they dress differently, are hesitant and may spend hours gazing at the skycrappers or admiring the many wonders of urban life. Things happen so quickly that one may feel dizzy. Inspite of the many excitements and comforts of urban life, most rural folks prefer the relaxed atmosphere of rural life where people are not only friendly but also have time for each other.

In rural areas, most people are either farmers, herdsmen or fishermen. Although time is an important factor, it does not enslave the people. In other words, there is not as much hurry. People organise their work patterns according to the seasons. Of course, there are times of hard work especially during planting and harvesting but there is also time to rest and have fun.

What makes it so difficult for a rural person to settle in the town is the fact that one may have neighbours who seem not to care about or to notice any other person. In some cases, neighbours do not even know each other's names. However, in the rural areas, people live close to members of their families or relatives. If one has a problem, others help willingly, without having to be requested.

Perhaps, as the years go by, many of the differences that still exist between urban and rural areas will be removed. But we hope that the good values will remain

39. What does the writer say about the differences between the urban and rural life?
    1. It is not necessary to remove the differences.
    2. The differences should not be made fewer.
    3. It is not easy to remove the differences.
    4. The differences are impossible to remove.
40. The phrase "....only readily available in towns.." means that the facilities are
    1. usually available in towns
    2. not available elsewhere
    3. are meant only for use in towns 
    4. are really unsuitable for rural areas.
41. According to the passage, electricity, telephone services and tap water are examples of
    1. facilities that rural people would like to have
    2. facilities essential for all people
    3. facilities that have been provided in all rural areas
    4. facilities available only in towns.
42. What does the writer mean by 'life-style'?
    1. A special way of living.
    2. A style in people's lives.
    3. The way people organise their lives. 
    4. A modern interesting way of life.
43. In what ways are some rural areas similar to towns?
    1. Peoples now have access to many wonderful things.
    2. There are more shopping centres with blessed shops.
    3. Rural homes are similar to those in towns.
    4. They have modern facilities and many good shops.
44. Why do people seem to be in a great hurry in towns?
    1. They have to catch a bus or a matatu. 
    2. They are very strict in their use of time.
    3. They do not have much time to do their work.
    4. They have to report to work at a specific time.
45. Rural people feel uncomfortable in towns because
    1. urban people do not like others and they do not shake hands
    2. people in towns are always rushing, pushing and scrambling
    3. people in towns have no time for others and alot of things are strange
    4. people spend hours gazing at the wonders of the towns.
46. Which of the following is not true according to the passage?
    1. Although towns are exciting, people seem unfriendly.
    2. Work in rural areas does not affect people's lives.
    3. People in towns do not have much to do with their neighbours.
    4. people in rural areas have time for one another.
47. What does the writer mean by 'the relaxed atmosphere of rural life'?
    1. Things are not done at the right pace.
    2. People are not strict about things.
    3. The air makes it easy for one to relax.
    4. Things are not done in unnecessary haste.
48. How are rural people different from urban dwellers in managing time?
    1. Urban people seem hurried and impatient. 
    2. Rural people seem to have time for everything.
    3. Urban people have more to do in less time.
    4. Rural people do not care much about time.
49. The writer gives the example of people in urban areas not knowing each other's names to show
    1. how different the neighbours are 
    2. that names are not important in towns
    3. how difficult it is to get help in towns
    4. people in towns have no relatives.
50. The best title for this passage would be
    1. The rural man in the town.
    2. The rural and urban life-styles. 
    3. The strange and unfriendly towns.
    4. The busy town-dwellers.
