Hivi karibuni, nchi ya Kenya iliingia katika hesabu ya zile nchi ambazo zimewahi kudungwa na mwiba wa vita vya wenyewe kwa wenyewe. Japo vita hivi vilisababishwa na uchaguzi wa mwaka Elfu mbili na saba, vilituonyesha namna tulivyogawanyika katika misingi ya kikabila. Kuna mengi ambayo tunaweza kufanya ili kuuziba ufa huu ambao umetugawanya.
Kwanza tunaweza kuhimiza matumizi ya lugha ya taifa katika nyanja zote za maisha badala ya watu kutumia lugha zao za mama. Vilevile, viongozi waache ukabila na wawe na mtazamo wa kitaifa. Wamechangia sana kuchochea hisia za kikabila badala ya kuwaunganisha Wakenya. Maeneobunge mengine yamegawika katika misingi ya kikabila na hata kupewa majina ya kikabila. Pia inafaa kila Mkenya ahubiri umoja wa kitaifa.
Shule zetu za upili zimekuwa vyungu vya kuchemshia ukabila. Isipokuwa shule za kitaifa ambazo huchukua wanafunzi kutoka maeneo yote nchini, shule za magatuzi almaarufu kaunti na zile za wilaya huchukua asilimia sabini ya wanafunzi kutoka maeneo ya karibu. Hivyo basi utapata mwanafunzi amesomea eneo hilo kutoka shule ya msingi mpaka kidato cha nne. Wanafunzi kama hawa hutumia lugha za mama na kwa hivyo hawachangii katika utaifa. Itafaa vilevile iwapo kutakuwa na ugavi sawa na rasilimali. Ilivyo sasa ni kuwa maeneo mengine yana maendeleo ya hali ya juu na mengine hayana hata chakula. Jambo hili linaleta uhasama wa kimaeneo.
Tunaweza vilevile kuwa na siku ya utamaduni ambapo tuna maonyesho ya kitamaduni. Kwa kuonyesha utamaduni wa kila kabila nchini, tutafurahia tamaduni anuwai tulizo nazo na kuzichukulia kuwa kitegauchumi kuliko kuwa sababu ya vita.
Makundi haramu pia yanaleta ukabila. Wakati wa vita vilivyozuka hapa nchini, kila kabila lilikuwa na kundi lake la kulipigania. Kulikuwa na uhalifu mkubwa uliosababishwa na makundi haya yafaa kupigwa marufuku.
Nafasi za kazi nazo ziwaendee wale waliohitimu na wala si kutolewa kwa misingi ya kikabila. Vilevile, iwapo viongozi watakuwa mifano mizuri watasaidia sana viongozi waache matamshi kama vile, “kabila letu linaonewa," au "Ndugu zangu tunamalizwa.” Iwapo watakuwa na mitazamo ya kitaifa, basi watasaidia sana kuleta mtagusano katika nchi hii.
Wananchi wenyewe waelewe kitu kimoja, kuwa makabila nchini Kenya ni mawili - matajiri na maskini. Kwa mfano, hata baada ya kuwachonganisha Wakenya viongozi wetu huonekana wakila na kucheka pamoja. Sisi wananchi tumebaki na kinyongo lakini wao ni marafiki baada ya kututumia na kupata walichotaka, madaraka.
Vyombo vya habari vinapaswa kuarifa, kuelimisha, kuburudisha na kuyafichua maovu. Hata hivyo, kuzuka kwa idhaa za kikabila kimechangia kuvuruga umoja. Viongozi hutumia vyombo hivi kuhubiri chuki kwa watu wa makabila yao. Mambo ya aina hii hudhoofisha juhudi za kulinganisha taifa.
Hakika, ni vyema tufikirie kuhusu wajibu wetu katika maendeleo yetu binafsi na ya taifa letu. Chombo hakiendi ila kwa kafi. Tukijijenga, taifa zima tutapiga hatua kubwa pia. Badala ya kutumia juhudi zetu kuzozana kwa misingi ya kikabila, ni vyema tushikane mikono ili tusonge mbele pamoja.

    3. vilisababishwa na viongozi wenye maono ya kitaifa.
    4. vilikuwa baina ya makabila makuu na yale madogo.
33. Umuhimu wa lugha ya kitaifa kulingana na kifungu hiki ni,
    1. kuyaangamiza makabila.
    2. kutambulisha taifa.
    3. kukuza utamaduni.
    4. kuliunganisha taifa.
34. Shule za upili nazo zimelaumiwa kwa

    3. kupokea wanafunzi kutoka sehemu mbalimbali.
    4. kuwanyima nafasi wanafunzi wa jamii za karibu.
35. Kuendelea kwa baadhi ya maeneobunge kuliko mengine ni ishara kuwa,
    1. ubaguzi unajitokeza katika ugavi wa rasilimali.
    2. mipaka ya kimaeneo imewekwa kwa misingi va kikabila.
    3. watu wa maeneo haya wana bidii kuliko wenzao.
    4. serikali inazingatia usawa katika ugavi wa rasilimali
36. Kulingana na aya ya nne,
    1. kuwepo kwa tamaduni mbalimbali kunahujumu umoja wetu.

    3. tofauti zetu zinaweza kutufaidi badala ya kutugawanya.
    4. kila kabila lina siku ya utamaduni ya kitaifa.
37. Makundi haramu nchini,
    1. yanasaidia kutetea makabila yao yasinyanyaswe.
    2. mara nyingi hutetea haki za makabila yote.
    3. hayana uhusiano wowote na makundi ya kikabila.
    4. hutekeleza uhalifu kwa visingizio vya kutetea jamii.
38. Makala haya yameonyesha wazi kuwa,
    1. Viongozi wa kisiasa ni maadui wakubwa.
    2. Viongozi wa kisiasa huwatumia wanyonge kujifaidi.
    3. Nchi hii haina makabila mengi jinsi tunavyofikiria.
    4. Idhaa za kikabila huanzishwa na Wanasiasa nchini.
39. Methali 'chombo hakiendi ila kwa kafi' ina maana kuwa,
    1. maendeleo hayatapatikana bila watu kuwa na ubinafsi.
    2. juhudi za kuliunganisha taifa nila serikali na viongozi.
    3. taifa haliwezi kuendelea bila mchango wa wananchi.
    4. wananchi hawawezi kuungana bila viongozi wa kisiasa..
40. Neno mtagusano jinsi lilivyotumika lina maana sawa na,
    1. utangamano.
    2. utengano.
    3. mvurugano.
    4. utamaduni.

Payuka alikuwa kilimilimi hivi kwamba lolote alilonasa kwa yeyote awaye yule, sharti angeliwasilisha na kumtaarifu mwingine. Hakujali lilisemwa na nani au kwa nini. Hata mambo ya faragha ya baraza la wazee angeingilia tu, sijui akiwa mgeni wa nani, kisha angeyasambaza hata kwa vibaka na vigoti. Udukizi wa namna hii ulimpelekea kuwa na rabsha baina yake na wote waliomzunguka. Kila aliyemwona akikaribia alijaribu kuyafunika maneno yake hadi apite. Msemo, “funika kombe mwanaharamu apite," ukawa wamlenga yeye.
Waaidha, alikuwa na ulimi wa upanga. Kungalikuwa na mashindano ya kukaripiana, neno la kwanza la payuka lingalimpiga dafrao mpinzani wake hata ajiuzulu mara moja. Alifikiri maisha ni jukwaa la mashindano na kwake yeye aliyekuwa na upyaro wa msimu ndiye angeshinda. Maneno yake yote yalikuwa mfano wa sumu ya joka kali. Naye kwake, hili lilikuwa na hasara pia. Aliuvaa uso usiofurahi, kila wakati umekunja mapeto, midomo imekunjana na uso umejaa makanyanza kama mzee mwenye umri wa miaka mia moja. Mgeni yeyote aliyemwona na kusikia kuwa alikuwa mtoto ambaye hata ubwabwa haujamtoka shingoni alimaka.
Payuka pia alikuwa mcheza shere. Ukweli ukawa neno lisilo na maana kwake. Hakuiona ahadi kuwa deni kazini angeahidi jambo fulani wala asingelitimiza asilani. Mkutanapo angekupiga chenga kukudanganya. Angekupaka mafuta kwa mgongo wa chupa na uridhikapo na kuenda, angeahirisha utekelezaji wa ahadi yenu hadi mtakapokutana tena. Kwa mtendwa, hii ilikuwa dhihaka iliyokithiri.
Uchokochoko wake ulimfanya awe ndumakuwili. Akimwona yeyote akinawiri angejitokeza kama anayeteremea mno na mwenye kusherehekea pamoja na apataye. Hili lingefanya anayelengwa kumfunulia moyo wake wote na kuuacha wazi kwake amchunguze atakavyo. Maadui wangevutwa kwa ulimi. Kuna walioibwa kutapeliwa, kuhujumiwa kwa mioto au kwa namna yoyote ile, wengine waliuawa kutokana na hila zake kumbe alitafuta jinsi ya kufaidika yeye!
Naye avumaye baharini papa kumbe wengine wapo? Ukiua kwa upanga, kwa upanga pia utakufa. Chokochoko za payuka zikawabughudhi vijana wengi kwa muda mrefu, nao wakampangia njama. Wakaitumia njia ile ile aliyotumia kulipizia kisasi - ulimi mtamu. Walijua kuwa yeye alipenda kuutumia ulimi wake kupata sifa. Wakati huo makachero walikuwa wakichunguza kwa kina vyanzo vya visa mbalimbali vya uhalifu kitongojini humo. Wakajua kumsifu kwa kiasi kidogo tu kungemfanya kujisahau na kuelezea siri zake zote
Licha ya kuutumia kuropoka, ulimi wa Payuka pia ulitumiwa kuchapa maji. Siku ya mtego, vijana hao walijifanya karimu kwelikweli, wakamnunulia kileo. Alipokwishauchapa ugimbi, vijana wakaanza kumsifu Payuka kwa ujanja huku wakiwakashifu watu mbalimbali waliojua kuwa walikwishahasiriwa na afriti huyu. Kusikia sifa zake zainuka, alianza kutokwa na maneno shelabela. Alieleza alivyowashusha wote hao kwajinzi mbalimbali - kuna aliowapangia kuuawa, kuibiwa, kuchomewa nyumba na kadhalika.
Wakati huu wote, kachero mmoja alikwishakaribia akiwa na kiredio cha kunasia sauti. Akishaboboka bobobo, makachero wawili wakajitokeza, wakajitambulisha na kumfahamisha Payuka shughuli zao pale. Alipojaribu kujitetea kiredio kikafunguliwa, akayasikia yote aliyosimulia. Akalevuka palepale, akawaangalia vijana wale majirani ambao sasa walikuwa wakitabasamu. “Twende kituoni!” Makachero wakamwamuru. Waliokuwepo wakajisemea nyoyoni, “Kweli heri kujikwaa dole kuliko kujikwaa ulimi”.

Read the following passage and answer questions 26 to 38..
When Siro's goat disappeared, he looked for it for almost the entire evening. He had tied it close to his home and although he was sure it had not snapped the rope, it was not there and there was no trace of the rope too. He was about to give up hope when the stillness of the night enabled him hear the muffled noise of a goat in distress. He keenly listened again. He moved stealthily, following paths and crossing fences and hedges and was relieved to find it. It was tied in the thicket behind Lima's home with the same rope. He simply untied it, removed the plastic container that had been put round the mouth to contain the sound level and led it home. He was sure he knew who the thief was.
Two weeks later, his ncighbour, Kalua, lost his goat in the same circumstance. As Kalua searched from home to home, checking if his goat could have strayed there, he got no positive response. Then, he decided to check at Siro's home and this is how he got a companion. As the pair walked towards the thicket near Lima's home, they heard a sound Siro claimed was familiar to him. They were not equally surprised as their discussion had been along that line. They bumped into the goat, tied at almost the same spot, with the mouth covered in the same fashion. Not interested in making accusations that could not be substantiated but just end up straining relationships in the village, they took the goat away. I lowever, they had a plan in mind on how to stop the thief once and for all.
It took over three weeks then a repeat of the same occurred. When Siro got the information, he rushed to Kalua's home and together with Sule, the man whose goat had just disappeared, they decided to execute the plan they had at hand in darkness. Each of them was armed with a weapon. in case the thicfappeared and showed any sign of defiance or became violent. They knew whom they expected to confront, knew his home and even the path he was likely to follow when coming for the goat. Ilowever, they had no idea of when he would come but they were determined to wait, however long it took.
The wait was long and tiring and had they been together, they would have given up, taken the goat and planned to catch the thief another day. It was just that none of them wanted to be the one to ask the others if they could leave. They were already dristing in and out of sleep when they heard the rustling of Icaves. Something' was coming and his cough made it clear that it was a human being. The moon was up so they could make out the shape of a tall man with a big hat. On one hand, he had a club and as he cautiously made his way, his walking style was unmistakable. The person approaching was not Lima but Walo, the watchman of the school behind the hedge where they were.
Walo went to where the goat was tied, coughed again then untied it. Little did he know that three men were silently moving towards him and already, he was at the centre with no chance of escape. Then, Siro, who was the nearest to where he was, coughed. Walo's club dropped to the ground, just as Siro shouted he surrenders by raising his hands or get killed. Due to shock, scar or both, he obliged and the men cut part of the rope with which the goat had been tied, used it to tic his hands at the back and walked him to his workplace to begin the second phase of waiting. They would wait for daybreak to make a report about the thief to the head teacher and the chief.

Read the passage below and then answer questions 39 to 50
Owning a home is great. It is security but should it really be your financial goal? Some financial experts actually recommend that renting a house is better than struggling to buy one. A home is not an investment because it doesn't pay you every month. In fact, you have to pay for your home every month. An investment is not a good deal if you are paying in and no cash flow is coming out. Your capital is tied up, you can't access it. Instead, it's even better you invest in yourself, developing your skills and focusing on growing your income first.
When you rent, you have a set amount that you pay every month that you can easily budget for. The advantage of renting is that it also allows you to live without that debt. You may think that you are only paying rent but you are also buying something else: time. Time to think through exactly what you want for the long-term in terms of owning a house, time to save and time to shop around for a house and location that will be worth your time and not end up costing more than you had planned for it. It also allows you move when necessary, something to consider if you want to cast your net wider in terms of finances. While renting, you also don't have to worry about cost like security. These are the landlord's problems.
Most of the time, investing in housing is a good idea but buying into the idea that it will always give you a profit could leave you disappointed. A little investigation into the state of housing in several markets both here in Kenya and even abroad is very important. The price of houses recently fell by 1.8 % in the first half of the year.
We have all heard the running joke of the man who owns a Prado but parks it outside a rented house. Is he a fool not to have bought a house? What this belief fails to acknowledge is opportunity cost, which is the cost of a missed opportunity. Being stuck in a ‘matatu’ that has refused to be filled with passengers to leave or one that stops every five hundred metres can cost you a lot of time. You could end up missing what was supposed to be yours in terms of a doctor's appointment, an interview, a job, money and even status. Who can respect a person who can't keep time?
The few coins you save when use a ‘matatu' may end up being a drop in the ocean in comparison to what you could have gained during the time you lost. When you use our car, you can also use it as an extra source of income if you can use it to ferry people to work or even put it to work. It may also come in handy during emergencies and may make more financial sense if you have a family.
Remember, we usually pay more for quality. However, be careful! At times, we just pay more for brand names rather than the quality of the item. This happens more in medicine where most people do not buy generics while their composition is exactly the same as the original drugs.

    1. it is cheaper to pay rent.
    2. the landlords are easier to handle. 
    3. the rent charged on houses is reducing. 
    4. buying a home does not pay back the owner.
40. According to the passage, an investment should

    2. you may regret if the location and amount do not suit you 
    3. you are likely to have more money shortly. 
    4. he house could end up being of poor quality
43. One of the advantages of renting a house is that 
    1. the rent reduction will always favour you.
    2. the increase in number of houses lowers the rent.
    3. you can change location when you need
    4. rentals are usually located in urban areas.
44. Why is security considered to be the landlord's problem? 
    1. Tenants are mobile. 
    2. Landlords charge very high rent. 
    3. Security is usually got locally. 
    4. It is not as essential as owning a house.
45. What should one think about when buying a house? 
    1. It will make you great instantly. 
    2. It is not likely to make you rich. 
    3. You will definitely go a class higher in life.
    4. Your security then becomes guaranteed.
46. What many people do not know about owning a house is that
    1. houses keep increasing in number, 
    2. it is the most worthless investment. 
    3. cars and houses are owned by the rich.

    3. cares less about opportunity cost.
    4. loves the car more than the house.
49. The expression a drop in the ocean is used in the second last paragraph means 
    1. too little to make a difference. 
    2. almost enough for the intended purpose. 
    3. can build up to become something big. 
    4. what everyone can easily get.
50. When buying an item, we should
    
    1. compare it with other related items.
    2. rely on others who have brought the same items. 
    3. be aware some manufacturers simply trick customers.
    4. be keener on the quality of the product.

Soma makala yafuatayo kisha ujibu maswali kuanzia 31 mpaka 40
Mwili wa mwanadamu hawezi kufanya kazi kama inayotarajiwa iwapo hauna afya. Watu wengine hudhani kuwa afya ni jambo la nasibu tu. Hawa huachilia miili yao kufanya kazi kama punda bila kujali maslahi yao. Mtu asiyejali rai yake huchakaa haraka na kuwa dhaifu.
Njia mojawapo ya kuhakikisha kuwa mwilfuna nguvu na siha inayostahili ni kupitia kwa vyakula. Uzingatiaji wa lishe bora ni muhimu kwa afya ya mwanadamu. Lishe bora huurutubisha mwili na kuacha ukiwa katika hali nzuri. Maandalizi bora ya vyakula ni kuhakikisha kuwa vimeiva kabisa ili kuepuka maumivu ya tumbo na kasoro nyinginezo. Aidha, vyakula visivyoandaliwa vizuri humfedhesha mwenyeji mbele ya wageni wake.
Ulaji wa chakula haumaanishi kula bila breki. La, unamaanisha kula vyakula ambavyo vina manufaa kwa mwili yetu. Baadhi ya watu hula vyakula vyenye wingi wa mafuta, Mafuta mengi hatimaye huleta madhara hasa kwa mtu asiyefanya mazoezi ya viungo vya mwili Ulaji wa mayai kwa wingi pamoja na nyama ya kuchoma huweza kumletea mlaji matatizo ya kiafya. Vyakula hivi na vingine huhitaji kuliwa kwa vipimo.
Mikono haina budi kuwa safi kabla ya kuanza kula kwa wengine, kumwanikaida tu, hawatumii sabuni kamwe. Kukipakia chakula bila kuzingatia usafi huweza kusababisha uele wa waba. Isitoshe, maji yasipochemshwa huweza kusababisha maradhi haya. Ni jukumu la kila mmoja kuhakikisha kuwa viwango vya usafi vimezingatiwa kila wanapotaka kula
Yapo maradhi mengine ambayo husababishwa na wadudu, Mfano wa haya ni malaria na malale, Ni vyema kuzingatia usafi wa mazingira yetu ili kuyaepuka magonjwa haya. Vitu vinavyovunda navyo visiachwe kuzagaa kila mahali ili kuwaondoa nzi wanaoweza kucheza magonjwa. Aidha, nyasi na vichaka vinufaa kufyekwa bila kusahau kuondoa mikobe na vidimbwi vya maji takat.
Uvutaji wa sigara na ulevi ni baadhi ya tabia ambazo huwaletea waja matatizo ya kiafya. Moshi unaovutwa una madhara mengi sio tu kwa afya ya mvutaji bali pia kwa walio karibu naye. Pombe humdhuru mnywaji kwa namna nyingi; kuna wale ambao hukumbwa na tatizo la ini. Miili ya hawa hushindwa kufanya kazi na hivyo wakaishia kutangulia mbele ya haki.
Mwili vilevile huhitaji mazoezi ya viungo ili kuweza kubaki katika hali nzuri ye afya na utendakazi. Baadiri ya watu hufanya mazoezi ya kukimbia asubuhi na jioni jioni. Wengine hutembea masafa fulani ili kama wanavyosema wenyewe kunyosha miguu. Wengi hununua baiskeli ili watumie nguvu kuziendesha; kusudi darnu ipate kuranda vizuri kote mwilini na viungo kunyooka. Baadhi hujinunulia vifaa vya kufanyia mazoezi nyumbani au kulipa ada ya kutumia sehemu zenye vifaa hivyo.
Rai zetu ni ngao zetu. Bila siha, sisi silolote si chochote. Mtu huwa kama gogo tu. Ni wajibu wetu kuzingatia na kufanya yote tunayoweza ili kuhakikisha kuwa siha zetu hazituponyoki.

Juma alipiga goti huku machozi yakimdondoka njia nne nne. Mbele yake palikuwa na makaburi mawili. Waliokuwa wamelala mle hawakuwa na habari juu ya kihoro na simanzi ya aliyepiga magoti pule. Iala kwanza lilikuwa kongwe kiasi na lilikuwa limemca vichuka na magugu. La pili likionyesha upya kwani mashadu ya maua yaliyowekwa na wuombolezaji yalikuwa bado mabichi. Babake na mamake Juma walikuwa wamelazwa makaburini humu mtawalia.
Kwa Juma, maisha hayakuwa na maana tena. Alikuwa mwanafunzi wa miaka kumi na miwili na alikuwa katika darasa la saba. Hakuwa amchitimu kujitegemea na kukimu mahitaji yake. Aliokuwa akiwategemea sasa wamemwacha akiwa yatima. Hakuna yeyote ambaye ungelijaza pengo lililo achwu mu wavyelo wake. Zaidi ya haya alisononeka kuwapoteza wazazi wote wawili kwa kipindi cha miaka miwili tu. Ilaya yalikuwa kwake kama dondandugu lisilopona.
Kwa sasa Juma anayakumbuka mengi. Anakumbuka maisha ya babake. Alikuwajibaba zito na lenye sura jamala na siha nzuri. Baba mtu alikuwa na chake na alijiweza kiuchumi. Wengi pale mjini walimheshimu na kumstahi kutokana na uwezo wake huo. Aidha, alitunza familia yake vilivyo. Juma bakumbuki hata siku moja aliyokosu chochote alichohitaji kutoka kwa babake. Alikuwa mwenye bidii kazini mwake pia.
Walakini kama mja asiyckamilika, baba mtu alikuwa na taksiri moja. Aliyapenda maisha ya anusa na kufukuzia wasichana wadogo mlc mjini. Mamake Juma aliyajua fika haya. Alijaribu kuzozana ntuye ili aache tabia hii potovu. Lakini kila alipothubutu, mama mtu alifokewa na kukemewa kuwa anche upuuri wa wanawako. Akafika kufyata ulimi na kumwachia Molu uyaongoze maisha ya mumewe.
Hata hivyo, hakuna marcfu yasiyo na kikomo. Baada ya kuponda raha na vimanda si haba alianza kuugua. Maradhi yake yakawa na msururu. Mara alipata mafua yasiyopona, mara kucndesha mara maradhi ya ngozi. Haya yalimtia wasiwasi. Baada ya kukaguliwa na matabibu kadhaa alipatikana kuwa "ameumwa na mdudu" Hakuyaamini haya. Baba aliyekuwa na bushasha na mcheshi aliingiwa na upweke! na kutotaka kutangamana na yeyote hata jamaa yake.
Waliosema kuwa hakuna msiba usiokuwa na mwenzake hawakutupaka mafuta kwa mgongo wa chupa. Maradhi haya yaliifilisi jamaa huku aing ang'aniwa kupata tiba. Wakaenda kwa waganga na waganguri, Waganga nao wakafidi tamu.
Muda si muda, mama naye akaanza kuugua. Baada ya uchunguzi akapatikana na ugonjwa sawa na wa bwanake. Ikawa ni kama mji umcrogwa. Baadaye babaye akaaga dunia na mamaye hakukawia sana. Akasalimu amri na kumfuta mumewe. Juma, kijana mdogo akaachwa na upweke.

Read the passage below and then answer questions 26 to 38
During the weeding season, only the very old or sick remained at liome. All the others went to weed. They would report to the farm together but the departure time was staggered due to age or other allocated duties. The young boys and girls would be released around eleven o'clock; the boys would then take the cattle to graze while the girls would prepare porridge and take it to the furm. Many people would live the farm around two o'clock. Their grandmother traditionally remained at home to take care of it till the others returned.
The boys were still grazing around home as they waited for pomidgo when they heard the screams, The dreaded tax collectors had been sighted in the neighbourhood as usual, everybody run out of their homes. If they got you at home, especially the able-bodied adults, you'd pay the tax instantly or they grab two or more of your healthy cocks. So the scream wasn't to seare the villagers but a waming for them to hide. The boys and girls would simply be asked where their parents were and they would promise to return another day
The boys ate their porridge and went their way. The girls too, carried the other portion to the farm and as they ate it out there, they reported about the tax-collectors. The parents were amused, imagining how the grandmother could have run to avoid being seen. They proceeded working up to around two o'clock when everybody cared the shoes back home. When they reached, they busied themselves, preparing lunch which they took soon after but grandmother was not yet seen. The door to her house was still partially open as ithad been when they arrived home, indicating that she was just around as chicken went in and out uniterrupted. They soon realised she was not in the house.
A team was soon assembled and dispatched to move from home to home, looking for her. When no positive report came after half an hour or so, they went to other homes, further away but this too, did not produce no desirable results. No one had seen grandmother from that moming, not even before the tux-collectors arrived and that was very abnormal.
A siceable crowd was already forming at home, some even wondering if she had left to visit her kin but this idea was instantly dismissed because of one obvious reason. They then thought of going to check along the riverbanks incase she could have gone there and missed a step. Three young men volunteered and were just leaving when one of the women was overcome by emotion and broke into a blood-curdling wail. The children joined in but as the others struggled to calm them down, grandmother's door suddenly opened wide and there she was, in her usual green frock.
Everybody became silent and shocked at the same time. Even before she could move two steps from her door, she asked, "Who has left us? I have not heard of a sick person here of late." As she trotted, looking puzzled and out of touch with reality, she realised no one was responding to her queries, "Or is it me! She added and it's this that made the whole group burst ut prolonged laughter

Read the passage belose and then answer questions 39 to 50
Chidren must be taught to work for the things they want. It could be the cell phone, video games, bicycles, toys and many others. When they are given everything they want by their parents, it is easy for them to develop a mindset of entitlement
The poor person mindset is to give their child whatever the child want if they can afford it. This gives a child a sense of entitlement. Later on, in employment, they may not understand why sometimes they have to work so hard for so little money and will eventually quit. Many wealthy parents teach their children to save up for what they need. In fact, Gordon Ramsey who owns and operates 40 Michelin starred restaurants all over the world worth over 152 billion says that he has no intention of leaving anything to his children. He adds, "It's definitely not going to them. The only thing I will give them is a 25% deposit on it flat but not the whole flat". This teaches them that despite having a head start in life, they have to put in the work.
If children want something that is not a basic need let them save from the little money you give them now and then. Many rich people teach their children that gambling is a bad practice in the use of money. A recent study conducted shows that 6% of the wealthy played the gambling game against 77% of the poor. Worse, the poor admitted to be playing the game regularly. This has made it become like a virus within their social network.
Children are consistently observing what their parents do. If the parents gamble, the children will likely be gamblers as adults. Rather than getting themselves into a dangerous situation, a parent can decide to introduce the children to the pitfalls of betting personally. Learning a few difficult lessons in an atmosphere is not safe and could actually be effective. You can let then try their hands at gambling and once they loss their money they will have learnt a good lesson. 
The lesson with gambling is that every one thinks that they're going to win but in fact, takes to time at all for them to lose all their hard earned-money. They watch as it disappears into the air. If any of the children can end up with some money they should be told that those were exceptionals just as it in real-life.

39. When a child wants to own a ball, 
    1. he should find out how others got balls
    2. he should politely request his parents
    3. he needs to work his way out to get it
    4. his parents should buy it and give it to the child
40. What is the danger in giving children anything they need?
    1. it makes them become dependent on you
    2. they could also give them out to their friends
    3. they could ask for too many things
    4. it makes them stop sharing whatever they have
41. Parents should emulate Gordon Ramsey because
    1. he owns and operates 40 Michelin starred restaurants.
    2. his children are putting up hotels like his.
    3. he does not like his children
    4. he makes his children work for their retirements.
42. Why do you think should children not be denied the basic needs? 
    1. No one knews exactly how many they are
    2. it is their right to get it.
    3. Parents provide it unconsciously. 
    4. Basic needs are not that expensive
43. By leiting children save for what they want,
    1. They develop the sense of ownership for them.
    2. they complete one another in the family
    3. it becomes difficulty to know one's  possessions
    4. security of all items becomes guaranteed.
44. The reason why a higher percentage of poor people gamble is
    1. They lack someone to guide them.
    2. it does not involve the use of much money
    3. their aim is to get rich quickly
    4. they have a lot of free time
45. The frequency at which the poor gamble shows that
    1. the game is designed to favour.
    2. they know the benefits better than the rich
    3. each of them convince the other to keep playing
    4. they use more money at it than the rich.
46. By comparing gambling to a virus, the writer means that
    1. it attracts people just like diseases
    2. ganbling wastes peuple's money.
    3. it spreacis very fast,
    4. how it started is still unknown.

    2. Children can work for only four things.
    3. Gordon Ramsey left the sons no inheritance

    1. not watch as their money disappears.
    2. encourage the whole family into it.
    3. know when to stop the game
    4. always believe he would soon win.
50. The BEST title for this passage would be

    4. Money games liked by the poor
