Fanaka alikuwa ghulamu mcheshi aliyependwa sana na wanafunzi wengine darasani mwetu. Katika shughuli za vikundi, tulipendelea kujiunga naye kutokana na weledi wake wa masuala mbalimbali. Jingine lililotuvutia kwake ni jinsi alivyoonekana nadhifu siku yoyote, wakati wowote. Ama kweli, alikuwa kipenzi na kielelezo kwa wengi.

Siku moja, mwalimu alitupangia somo kuhusu usafi wa kibinafsi. Alituonyesha vitu vinavyohitajika kudumisha usafi wa kibinafsi mathalani sabuni, mswaki, dawa ya meno na kitana. Baadhi ya vitu vilikuwa vifaa halisi na picha za vingine. Isitoshe, alitumia projekta kuonyesha video za vijana mbalimbali wakitekeleza shughuli za usafi wa kibinafsi. Baadaye, alitupa nafasi ya kuwaelezea wenzetu jinsi tunavyoshughulikia usafi wetu wa kibinafsi. Hapo Fanaka alijitolea kulishughulikia darasa.

Alianza kwa kutujulisha jinsi wavyele wake walivyomhimiza kudumisha usafi tangu utotoni. Walielewa umuhimu wa kumkunja kambare angali mbichi. Mazoea haya yalimwepushia matatizo ya kiafya na kumwezesha kuhudhuria masomo yake bila shida.

Fanaka alisema kuwa ilikuwa ada yake kuoga kila asubuhi na jioni. Mtu anapoendelea na shughuli zake za kila siku, huenda akadondokwa na jasho, akatifuliwa vumbi au uchafu mwingine ambao huenda hata hauonekani. Joto la usiku nalo humfanya aliyelala kulowa jasho rovurovu hususan ikiwa anatumia mablanketi mazito. Uchafu huu hauna budi kuondolewa kwa kuoga lau sivyo mtu atanuka gugumo asubuhi na jioni.

Tuliendelea kumtegea Fanaka masikio yetu ndi. Alitueleza kwamba alikuwa na mazoea ya kupiga mswaki kuondoa mabaki ya vyakula ambayo yanaweza kufanya meno kuoza. Hapo tulielewa kiini cha meno ya Fanaka kuwa meupe mithili ya tui la kasimile.

Jingine alilotukumbusha Fanaka ni kujiepusha na uraibu wa pombe na uvutaji sigara. Hata mtu akioga namna gani, uvundo wa dawa hizi za kulevya huwaghasi wale walio karibu naye. Ni vyema mja ajitanibu kabisa na dawa hizi. Nilipoyasikia hayo nilijikumbusha kimoyomoyo kuwa uraibu wa mihadarati huathiri utendakazi wa mwanafunzi kiasi cha kukosa makini katika shughuli za kielimu miongoni mwa nyingine.

Kabla ya kuketi, Fanaka alitukumbusha tusipuuze mambo yanayoonekana madogomadogo kama vile kuzifua lebasi zetu, kunyolewa au kusukwa ikiwa ni wasichana, kunawa mikono na kuangua kucha. Mtu akizingatia hayo na mengine kisha aishi katika mazingira safi, ataonekana mwenye bashasha wakati wote.

Tulimpigia Fanaka makofi kwa ushauri wake. Yamkini, kila mmoja wetu alikuwa akijiahidi kimoyomoyo kumwiga Fanaka katika yale aliyotueleza. Alipojiunga nami pale nilipoketi, nilijua kuwa yote aliyoyasema yalikuwa ukweli mtupu. Nilijivunia uhusiano wetu wa karibu kwani nilikuwa nimeathiriwa vyema.

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

I was going to untie the goats from the shrubs near the river when I bumped into Keti and Lewa. The moment I saw what they were carrying, my mind changed. In Keti's hand was a dead hare and it looked as if it had just been killed. I moved closer to them and confirmed that the animal was alive just about half an hour ago. Sharing that small carcass among the three of us was out of question due to its size. We had quick consultation among ourselves and I wasn't persuaded to drop the task I was going to do. They assured me it would be a matter of minutes and each of us would carry something home.

We had not gone far when Lewa suggested that we keep the 'load' up some tree to easen our movement. We obliged and started walking to the bushes where we knew hares were plenty. We scared away two in a short while but one didn't seem to be agile enough. We decided to track it as the other one had gone away at lightning speed. We managed to form a circle round where it had hidden. We accurately located the specific thicket it had gone into. With each of us ready for it with our weapons in hand, we closed in. The moment it attempted to escape, two clubs landed on it almost at ago and we celebrated as it threw its last kicks.

In our greed for the third prey, we decided to take this second one up the tree for storage. We left for a different direction where we expected to hunt down more hares, even antelopes. We were talking of each of us carrying home two or three carcasses when gradually, the sky above our heads started turning grey and trees swaying from one side to the other. This is when I remembered about the goats!

We broke into a run to the tree which had our treasure, one on top of the other but the moment we reached there, we stopped in our tracks. Up the tree was a fierce-looking leopard but no sign of either of our catch. This time round we didn't consult but took off helter-skelter and as if that's the signal the weather had been waiting for, heavy droplets of rain started pounding our heads. For once I realised hares can curse their killers.

When I reached where the goats were supposed to be, I got another shock. There was no sign of even one. I walked home in semi-darkness, worried, wet and shivering. I found the goats in their enclosure and guessed what had happened. No one talked to me as I made my way towards the fireplace, my clothes still dripping.

Soma kifungu kifuatacho kisha ujibu swali la 31-40,

Mwanafunzi asiyeelewa kile ambacho mwalimu anafunza darasani hupatwa na mzongo sana. Saa nyingine huhisi kukata tamaa asiendelee kujishughulisha na somo hilo tena. Hata akianguka hajali tena. Mwalimu naye asipomwelewa amvumilie na kumfunza mwanafunzi huyo taratibu, kwa kweli mtoto huyo atapotea kabisa. Pengine hata atakamilisha masomo ya shule ya msingi bila kujua utaratibu wa ngeli. Ina maana kwamba akipata maswali kuhusiana na sehemu asiyoielewa ataanguka mtihani huo.

Lakini kwa nini mwanafunzi asielewe mwalimu anapofunza? Sababu ni kochokocho kama mchanga ufuoni pa bahari. Pengine kuna matatizo ya kinyumbani ambayo humjia mawazoni mwalimu anapofunza. Labda wazazi wanazozana, kuna mtu mgonjwa, kufiwa na mpendwa au pengine mmoja wa wazazi ni mlevi aletaye vurugu nyumbani kila siku. Sababu nyingine ni njia ya walimu kufundisha. Walimu wengine hufunza vibayavihaya hata mwanafunzi haelewi lolote. Walimu wanaopenda kuwachekesha tu wanafunzi darasani, ama wana athari ya lugiiamama ama wanazembea tu darasani, hawawezi kuwafaa wanafunzi.

Kuna wanafunzi ambao hali haiwaruhusu kupata vitabu vya kiada na madaftari ya kufanya ziada zao. Wanategemea wenzao wenye vitabu ambao saa nyingine huwanyima. Mwanafunzi kama huyu hataweza kujisomea zaidi katika muda wake wa ziada. Kama mwalimu hakumpa nakala za kurejelea, atadurusa vipi? Vilevile kuna wanafunzi ambao hawakujaliwa na akili nyepesi ya kuyaelewa mamb, haraka. Hata kama mwalimu atarudia masa mia na moja, bado hawataambua chochote! Walimu wasiotumia vifaa halisi kufundisha pia hutati kuelewa kwa wanafunzi. Mara nyingi wakiona unachozungumzia na kukigusa, kusahau kutakuwa vigumu.

Pia kuna wanafunzi walio na mtazamo hasi kuhusu somo fulani. Utawasikia wakisema, "sisi kwetu hatupiti Hisabati, au Kiswahili." Nami nauliza, kuna watu ambao wameandikiwa kuwa hawawezi kulipita somo fulani kwa sababu fulani? Ninaamini kwamba yeyote akijitolea, anaweza kufaulu katika chochote akifanyacho.

31. Kwa kawaida, ikiwa mwanafunzi haelewi kile ambacho anafunzwa:-
    1. anamchukia mwalimu anayemfunza
    2. anaenda kutafuta ushauri kwa mwalimu
    3. anatatizika kimawazo na kukosa utulivu
    4. anahofia kuchukiwa na mwalimu wake
32. Ikiwa mwanafunzi anashindwa kuelewa kile ambacho amefunzwa, mwalimu:- 
    1. anafaa kubadilisha vitabu anavyovitumia
    2. anafaa kumvumila na kumfunza tena polepole
    3. anafaa kumwadhibu ili aelewe
    4. kumkalisha karibu na ubao na kumpa kazi nyingi ya ziada
33. Ni yapi si matatizo ya kinyumbani?
    1. Kuugua kwa mtu wa jamaa.
    2. Baadhi ya wazazi kutumia mihadarati.
    3. Migogoro baina ya wazazi
    4. Akili inayochukua muda kuelewa mambo
34. Ni kweli kwamba mwanafunzi ataambulia alama mbaya iwapo mwalimu:-
    1. hafanyi uzembe darasani
    2. hatumii muda wa masomo kuwaburudisha wanafunzi
    3. anaepuka athari za lughamama
    4. hatajibidiisha katika kuyatekeleza majukumu yake ipasavyo
35. Badala ya kutamka 'sasa' mtu akitamka 'thatha' husemwa kwamba ana; 
    1. kigugumizi 
    2. kithembe
    3. ububu
    4. zusitasita
36. Kukataa kumwazima mwenzako kitabu anapokuomba
    1. tukatika kutunza bidhaa zako zisipotee
    2. ni dalili ya uchoyo na ubinafsi
    3. humtia moyo kujikaza na kidogo alicho nacho
    4. kunawafanya wazazi wake wamnunulie vitabu vingine
37. Ni kweli kwa mujibu wa habari kwamba:-
    1. mwanafunzi anafaa kujitengenezea nakala baada ya kufunzwa
    2. mwanafunzi hahitaji vitabu au nakala ili kufaulu masomoni 
    3. mwanafunzi akiwa na nakala, zinaweza kumfaa kudurusu akapita mtihani wake
    4. kama mwalimu amefunza, si lazima awape wanafunzi nakala
38. Mwalimu anapendekezewa kutumia nyenzo kufunza ili;
    1. asisumbuke kuandikia wanafunzi nakala
    2. kurahisisha kuelewa na kutosahau kwa wanafunzi
    3. kuweza kufundisha haraka bila shida
    4. watoto wasiokuwa na vitabu vya ziada na kiada wafaidike
39. Mtazamo hasi ni kinyume cha mtazamo
    1. chanya
    2. tasa
    3. shufwa
    4. witiri
40. "Ninaamini kwamba yeyote akijitolea, anaweza kufaulu katika chochote akifanyacho." Kauli hii inaunga mkono usemi kwamba:-
    1. penye nia pana njia.
    2. mchagua jembe si mkulima.
    3. lisemwalo lipo njiani laja.
    4. asiyejali hupata hatari.

Soma kifungu kifuatacho kisha ujibu maswali 41-50

Je umewahi kujiuliza, ama unajua mwandani ni nani? Mwandani ni mtu wa ndani, rafiki ambaye pia huitwa msena au msiri. Ni mtu wa kuambia mambo ya siri au pengine mambo ya ndani ambayo hayafai kuambiwa mtu mwingine hivihivi. Ni mtu ambaye kwa muda umemkagua na kumjua kuwa mtu wa kuaminika. Kufikia kumfungulia mambo yako ya ndani ina maana kwamba umemsoma kama msahafu na kuwa na Imani kuwa hutakuwa umekosea kuchukua funguo za moyo wako ukamwekea wazi mambo ya ndani kabisa.

Hata hivyo siku hizi dunia i...ebadilika kabisa! Imebadilika kama hali ya anga ilivyobadilika, kiangazi kikageuka kipupwe au pengine masika yakageuka vuli! Ni vigumu kumpata mtu wa kumwamini hasa ikizingatiwa ile methali ya wahenga kwamba hapana siri ya watu wawili. Ukitaka iwe siri, basi heri uizike katika moyo wako na kuifunikia hadi kifo. Marafiki wa siku hizi ni kama wanawashwa na midomo, ukiwaambia jambo, mara tu watokapo kadamnasi yako, wanamtafuta mtu wa kumpasha habari motomoto.

Habari hizo sharti wanazitia chumvi ili ziwe tamu masikioni mwa yule anayepokezwa! Sasa chukulia kwa mfano umemweleza rafiki yako kuhusu migogoro inayoendelea katika familia yako. Pengine wazazi wako wanazozana au pengine mmoja katika familia yenu anaugua ugonjwa wa UKIMWI. Ama pengine mmefungiwa nyumba kwa sababu ya kukawia kulipa pango. Halafu keshoye ukifika shuleni unashangaa kuona waangaliwa na kuchekwa kisirisiri. Ukichunguza unapata kwamba tayari siri yako imetembea kama moto kwenye kichaka kikavu, Je hilo litakuchoma maini kiasi gani?

Wosia wangu kwa marafiki ni kwamba, wanafaa kuwa wa ukweli, ama waache kabisa kujiita marafiki ilhali mioyo yao imejaa uadui. Kumbuka kuujenga urafiki huchukua muda mrefu lakini kuuvunja ni kazi ya chini ya sekunde tano. Nani angependa kuchukua muda kujenga uhusiano ambao hautadumu? Hata watu wakikusikia kuwa u mtu wa sampuli hiyo, unafikiri yupo ambaye angependa kuhusiana na wewe? Hakutakuwa na haja ya wewe kuhesabiwa kama rafiki maana utakuwa hufai lolote la haja. Akufaaye kwa dhiki ndiye awezaye tu kuitwa rafiki.

41. Kabla ya kumchagua rafiki:-
    1. unakuwa umesifiwa na wengine kumhusu
    2. unakuwa umesikia kuhusu wema wake
    3. unakuwa umemchunguza na kumkagua
    4. anakuwa amejipendekeza sana kwako
42. Kwa kawaida rafiki:-
    1. huambiwa mambo wanayoambiwa wenzake
    2. haambiwi mambo wanayoambiwa wenzake
    3. hana tofauti na watu wengine wa kawaida
    4. hufunuliwa mambo waliyofichwa wengine
43. Neno msahafu kama lilivyotumika katika ufahamu liria maana ya:-
    1. gazeti lililoandikiwa watu kusoma
    2. daftari lenye maneno mengi ya kusomwa
    3. kitabu kitakatifu
    4. kitabu kinachopendwa na wengi
44. Ni msimu gani uliolinganishwa sawa na maelezo yake? 
    1. Vuli - Majira ya joto jingi
    2. Kiangazi - Wakati wa matope mengi 
    3. Kipupwe - Msimu wa baridi kali
    4. Masika - Msimu wa rasharasha za mvua
45. Ukilinganisha siku hizi na za zamani, ni wazi kwamba:-
    1. hapo zamani ilikuwa vigumu kupata mtu wa kukutunzia siri. 
    2. watu wengi siku hizi wamejifunza kuwa wasiri kama usiku.
    3. si rahisi kupata mtu wa kumwamini na mambo yako siku hizi.
    4. watu wa zamani walitangaza sana mambo ya wenzao.
46. Rafiki anapotoboa siri yako kwa wengine:-
    1. hakosi kuiongeza utamu kwa maneno yasiyokuwa kweli
    2. humwambia huyo anayeambiwa aitunze siri hiyo
    3. huwa lengo lake ni kukuaibisha usiwahi kumpa siri nyingine
    4. anapata sifa na marafiki wapya
47. Mara nyingi siri zinazoambiwa wengine
    1. hazihusiani na vurugu katika jamaa 
    2. hazihusiani na mafanikio au ushindi nyumbani
    3. si kuhusu maradhi ya aibu
    4. hazina lolote la kweli bali uongo mtupu tu
48. Je, ni nini maana ya UKIMWI? 
    1. Upungufu wa Kinga Mwilini 
    2. Ukondefu wa Kinga Mwilini 
    3. Usafi wa Kinga Mwilini
    4. Ukosefu wa Kinga Mwilini
49. Mtu hujuaje kwamba siri yake. imewafikia wengine?
    1. Rafiki mwenyewe anaenda kujishtaki
    2. Wanaoambiwa wanakuja kumwambia
    3. Jinsi wanavyomwangalia wakimwona
    4. Anakisia tu bila kuwa na hakika
50. Kauli ya mwandishi anapomalizia makala katika aya ya mwisho ni kwamba:-
    1. ni kazi ngumu kuuanza urafiki lakini kuuharibu hakuhitaji muda 
    2. kujenga urafiki ni rahisi kuliko kuuvunja
    3. kuuanza na kuumaliza urafiki si kazi rahisi
    4. unapotangaza siri za wengine unajisaidia ili usiletewe umbeya Zaidi

Read the passage below and use it to answer questions 26 to 38.

Faraja had always been a shy girl. She did not like being the centre of attention. She always prefers to stay in the background where no one paid much attention to her. Even though she had a lot in her mind, she was often afraid to share her thought or to express her opinions and feelings.

The teachers who were aware of this tried to help her to come out of her shell. However, the more attention they paid to her, the more uncomfortable she felt. The other pupils knew this and sometimes they would tease her. At other times, they would turn all their attention to her when they wanted her to do something. She would give in easily, simply to avoid being the centre of attention.

One morning, the teacher of English Miss Tumaini gave them a spelling drill. She would call any of the pupils at random and asked them to spell a word on the whiteboard. The pupils spelt the words correctly. Then she called out Faraja's name. Suddenly, Faraja felt hot all over her body. She called out again and smiled. The smile made Faraja feel a little better. She stood and walked to the whiteboard. Miss Tumaini asked her to spell the word 'committee'. A hush fell over everyone because they all found it difficult to spell this word.

Faraja, on her part knew how to spell the word. She lifted the white board marker pen to the whiteboard ready to write the word. When she had written the first letters 'com', she panicked. She could not remember whether the next syllable was 'mi' or 'it' when she heard the class giggle, she was so tensed up that she wished the ground would open up and swallow her. At that instant, she forgot even the word that she was to spell. The teacher on realizing this warned the other pupils against laughing at her. She then gently repeated the word one more time. Faraja felt as though the cobwebs in her mind have been brushed off. This time she easily spelt the word correctly and confidently. "Well done!" said the teacher as Faraja walked back to her seat. She was feeling good about herself.

After classes, Miss Tumaini had a talk with Faraja.

"You are very unique and no other pupil in this school is like you," said miss Tumaini. Faraja felt very special when the teacher said those words.

Read the passage below and use it to answer questions 39 to 50.

Performance in national examinations contribute to a great deal to one's future. In Kenya, there are national examination at the end of grade six, class eight and end of form four. Performance in these examinations determines the education path that one takes. This probably explains the jitters that parents, teachers and pupils get when the examination period comes during the end of academic year.

The world has become very competitive today. One has to work hard inorder to excel in any endavour such as examinations. One's performance in examinations has an effect not just on the candidate, but also on the candidate's parents, teachers and even peers.

Parents beam with pride when their children perform well in examinations. It is not uncommon to hear a parent say that the child is "just like the father or mother". Some parents even hold parties to celebrate the child's performance in examinations. Siblings and other relatives join in the celebrations because they have contributed to the pupils good performance in one way or the other.

Teachers are also very excited when they learn their pupils have performed well in the examinations. Their efforts in preparing the pupils for the examination have paid off. They therefore feel that they have succeeded in preparing the pupils for the next stage in education.

Peers also celebrate one's good performance. They would like to be associated with someone who has excelled in examinations. For other pupils in the school, the good performance presents them with proof that it is possible to excel in examinations. It provides them with a challenge to work hard so that they can perform even better in the national examinations.

This has led to a situation where everyone wants to be associated with top marks. In some schools, pupils, teachers and even parents spare no effort in ensuring that they succeed through honest hard work. They burn the midnight oil as they prepare for examinations.

The school fraternity cultivates an environment where each person works towards excellence.

Poor performance in examinations, on the other hand can be a cause of conflict. Parents may blame their children for not working hard enough. Some parents end up blaming the teachers or even the school administration.

There are also pupils who would do anything under the sun to get good grades without putting in much effort. To them, the end justifies the means. They end up cheating in the examinations because they have not studied hard enough.

This is often discovered and, sadly, their results are cancelled. They may go on to be irresponsible people who do not care about the consequences of their actions.
