Ukistaajabu ya Musa utayaona ya Firauni. Rafiki yangu, Bwana Kenzi almaarufu "mkereketwa❞ alihitaji tuonane uso kwa macho katika eneo la Shambahola siku mbili tatu zilizopita. Maadamu nilikuwa waya, sikuwa na budi ila kuhesabu hatua kuanzia kwangu hadi alipokuwa Kenzi. Si mtu hujikuna ajipatapo bwana!

Njiani walikuwapo wale ndugu zetu wanaoishi na ulemavu wakiwa katika hamsini zao za kuomba chochote kutoka kwa wapitanjia. Wengi wa wapitanjia waliwavalia miwani na kuendelea na shughuli zao za ujenzi wa taifa. Nilipowatazama, niliwahurumia na kuwasikitikia. Vitoto vyao je? Maskini, moja... mbili... tatu, mbavu hizo!

Nilifahamu kuwa sikuwa na chochote kwa hivyo, ili kuchelea kuunguzwa ndani kwa ndani, ilinipasa kukaza mwendo ili nisiwaone tena. Mara, nilikuwa nimewapa kisogo na kuyoyomea mbali. Moyoni nilijiambia kuwa iwapo Kenzi angenipa hela kidogo, ningepitia mahali pale ili angalau niwaachie kitu.

Baada ya kukinzana na misongamano ya watu na magari, nilijipenyeza hadi katika lango la Shambahola nikaichomoa rununu yangu kuukuu ili nimwarifu Kenzi kuwa nilikuwa nimetia guu. Naam, sifuri, saba, mbili, mbili.... mara shwa! Yarabi! Wewe.... mwizi... mshikeni! Kaniibia simu, mwi... Ikiwa umewahi kubeba maji kwa gunia, basi unafahamu ninachomaanisha. Kumbe mzigo wa mwenzio ni kanda la usufi tu! Ama kweli, chambacho Kenzi, mjini ni shuleni.

Nilibaki nimejishika kichwa kwa mikono huku nikitweta si haba. Si lazima niandike kuwa nilikuwa nimenyong'onyea ungedhani konokono aliyenyunyiziwa chumvi. Ingawa ni muhimu sana kuyapokea yajayo, iliniwia vigumu kukabiliana na hali hiyo kwa muda huo. Nilihisi nimenyanyaswa na kuonewa pakubwa.

Haidhuru, nilipoingia Shambahola, sikuwa na jingine ila kuangazaangaza macho huku na kule kama pengine ningeangukiwa na nyota ya jaha kumwona Kenzi. Baada ya kuzurura kwa muda, nilimwona jamaa kwa mbali akinipungia mikono. Nilifurahi sana kumwona, Mbio, nilimwelekea ili nimsimulie yaliyojiri.

Nilipomaliza kumweleza yote, alicheka na kutingishika nusuru ya meno yake yaanguke kama si kule kuyashikilia kwa kiganja. Ala! Kwani nini kilichochekesha badala ya kusikitisha? Alicheka nini hasa? Baadaye alinieleza kuwa hiyo ilikuwa desturi kwa wageni mjini. Aliendelea kunifahamisha kuwa shababi huyo aliyenipokonya simu alikuwa mmoja wa wale "walemavu" .... ah

Read the passage below and answer questions 26 to 38.

"Hurry up Njambi!" My mother plodded as I hurried to tie my brand new shoes. We were going to Uhuru Park for a picnic with our family that day. I was incredibly excited because the park was so fun and also because I loved to eat! My brother, who was 11 and exactly three years older than I, was grumpy because he thought he was "too old" for family picnics. I told myself that I would never be too old for them!

Everyone boarded our grey Sienta van and we made our way across town to Uhuru Park. The Park was beautiful during the rainy season and since it was May, all the flowers were in bloom and everything smelled fresh and sweet. We gathered all our things and made our way to a nice patch of green grass perfect for a picnic. After setting everything down, we began to bond and just enjoy the serene environment.

Not long after we all busily enjoying our food when a stray dog walked by. At first no one paid any attention because we were busy enjoying ourselves and the dog probably had a home. After a while though, I noticed that the dog had been wandering back and forth, whining the entire time. It was probably lost and my heart immediately went out to him.

"Mom! Mom! Look, a lost dog!" I told my mother in a frenzy. We both began to look around to see who might have lost a dog. My other family members looked at us like we were crazy but I was so honestly worried for the poor animal. He would be so lonely and hungry out there. We decided we would hold on the dog for a while to see if anyone such as the owner came looking for him. After about thirty minutes of waiting around, we were pretty unsuccessful so we just decided on taking him home with us. At home, the dog was full of energy; probably just happy. He had shelter and a place to rest from nature.

I got to work right away, typing "LOST DOG" flyers to post around town! I even put a picture of him. I got very much into making all the posters and stuff that I completely neglected the poor dog. He kept asking me to give him attention but I was too focused on making lost dog posters for him. He was neglected because I was too excited for the wrong things! When I finished I wanted to play with the dog but he already went to sleep, and so I was very disappointed. Later on, I realized that since I neglected him, I lost a chance to have fun and play with him!

We waited for two days, hoping for the owner to call but sadly no one called. But luckily, on the third day someone finally called. My mother and I were extremely happy but slightly bittersweet that the sweet dog that we had come to love had to leave. When the next day came, we gave the dog back to the very grateful owners, who were frantic with worry when they realized their beloved dog had gone missing.

"Mom, can we please get a dog?" I begged for the next couple of weeks. She actually finally agreed and we went to pick our own furry pet! I was the happiest girl the day I got my puppy

    4. A Picnic Gone Bad.

Read the passage below and answer questions 39 to 50.

It is undeniable that games and sports are an important part of school life. In fact, some people feel that sports should be made a compulsory curriculum in schools. The role of schools is to produce young people who are all-inclusive and rounded. They need to develop in more ways than just academically. I therefore disagree with the view that students should not waste time on sports.

Firstly, sports plays a more meaningful role in developing positive values in students. It builds up leadership skills in students who are active in games and sports. Every game requires a leader or captain. The leader or captain gets good training on leadership skills by leading the team. Playing games or sports also requires teamwork, initiative and a sense of responsibility.

Moreover, games and sports provide a healthy avenue for students to exercise and relax after studies. As they play, they get to release tension and stress. After a game or match, their minds are recharged and they go back to their books in a better frame of mind.

Students who are not so academically good might end up to be good in certain games. If that is the case, participation in sports in schools can help them develop their interest and ability in sports. They may even develop a career in sports. This would be a good option to those students who cannot obtain degrees in academic courses.

Students who play sports quickly learn that sometimes you win and sometimes you lose. They learn to be a good port in both situations. It also helps them learn to deal with disappointment and go on.

The best part of sports is that playing it is fun. It gives the child something to do and a group to belong to. Students have a group of friends that has the same goals and interests. Young people who play sports are more likely to have a positive body image and higher self-esteem. They are also less likely to take drugs or smoke because they realise the impact that these destructive activities can have on their performance.

In my view, schools should make sports an important activity in the school curriculum. By doing so, they are not neglecting their mission in producing young people who are academically good. Every school should encourage sports. Through participation in games and sports, schools teach students good traits and values. Of course, good values can also be instilled during class lessons. However, if these values can also be instilled through playing sports, then sports is definitely not a waste of time and energy.

39. Why do some people feel sports should be made compulsory? They 
    1. are an essential component of learning.

    2. one who has developed in other areas besides academically. 
    3. the one who has excelled many ways but academically.
    4. the one whose focus is academic excellence.
41. The expression "compulsory" has been used in the passage. It can be replaced with 
    1. optional. 
    2. obligatory
    3. voluntary.
    4. forbidden.
42. Sports play an important role in developing positive values through making
    1. them look down upon other people.
    2. them have leadership skills.
    3. them get along well with others.
    4. one develop personal skills.

    2. need to relax by watching a game.

Vitabu vyote vitakatifu vinatufunza tuwe waaminifu na tusithubutu kamwe kuzungumza uongo kwani mambo ya uongo hayadumu. Nadhani ni kwa sababu hii wahenga wakaeleza kuwa njia ya mwongo ni fupi. Mzee siambiwi alitanabahi kuwa uongo haufai baada ya kuona mambo yamemzonga kama chafu anavyomzonga mbuzi.

Kijiji cha Maganya kiliangukiwa na nyota ya jaha kubwa baada ya wafadhili kujenga chuo cha mafunzo ya watoto yatima na shule. Kila mtu aliyekuwa na watoto yatima alitakiwa kwenda kuwasajili chuoni. Hapo wangesomeshwa mafunzo ya kawaida pamoja na kufunzwa taaluma za ufundi wa kila fani. Kulikuwa na kazi za uashi. Uhadisi, taaluma ya tarakilishi mingoni mwa kazi nyingine. Nafasi zilikuwa wazi kwa mtoto yeyote nchini muradi awe yatima na kufiwa na mzazi mmoja au wote wawili. Vilevile kulikuwa na sehemu ya walemavu wa aina zote katika chuo hicho. Hawa nao walikuwa na rabiba yao ya masomo kulingana na uwezo waliokuwa nao.

Mzee Siambiwi, aliyekuwa mtu bahili na mwenye kupenda kuyakwepa majukumu yake ya malezi alipiga bango vile angefaidika kwa fursa hiyo. Siku moja asubuhi Siambiwi alimwita mkewe na kumketisha kitako. "Sharti nimpeleke kitindamimba wetu nasari ya yatima." Siambiwi alimwambia mkewe huku macho ameyatoa ungedhani ni ya bundi.

Mkewe alikiona hicho kama kioja kikubwa kwani wote walikuwa hawajakata kamba, isitoshe mumewe alijiweza kifedha. Ubishi mkubwa ulizuka. Mzee Siambiwi alisisitiza kuwa kutompeleka mwanawe . asome hapo bure ni sawa na mtu mpumbavu ambaye huacha jua lichomoze ashindwe kuliota kisha alitafute waka wa jioni.

Majadiliano yakakomea hapo kama sentensi iliyowekwa kikomo. Majonzi hayo yalimchoma sana mama inoyoni hadi akapata maradhi ya shinikizo la damu yaliyompeleka jongomeo, bila nauli wala matwana. Asubuhi ya majogoo Mzee Siambiwi na mkembe wake mikononi alikuwa kwenye lango la nasuri ya yatima. Alipokelewa kwa heshima kubwa na bawabu na kuelekezwa alikostahili kwenda huko alimwandikisha mtoto kwa mwalimu mkuu kuwa yeye alimwokota njiani na hivyo ni msamaria mwema. Mtoto alipokelewa na kupewa yaya wa watoto wadogo.
Miaka ilipeperuka ungedhani imepachikwa mbawa. Kitimtim alikua na kuwa mkubwa. Inasomekana alikuwa na bongo la sumaku. Aliongoza kwenye mitihani yake yote hadi akaingia chuo kikuu. Huko alifuzu na kupata kazi ya uhandisi. Alikuwa mhandisi mkuu nchini. Siambiwi wakati huo pesa zilikuwa zimemwishia na kubaki maskini hohehahe.

Siku moja alifunga safari kwenda jijini kumtafuta mwanawe ili akamwombe usaidizi na pia amweleze kuwa yeye ni mzazi wake. Kitimtim alishangaa kukiona kizee kilichodai kuwa mzazi wake kikimlilia machozi kupukupu. Alifahamu tangu utotoni mwake kuwa yatima. Siambiwi alidinda kutoka ofisini na ikabidi polisi waitwe kumtoa nje. Alimshika koti mwanawe na kukatalia kumwachia. Palizuka kizaazaa patashika. Uchunguzi wa kitaalamu wa hospitali na ushahidi ulitolewa. Mzee Siambiwi akawa na bahati kama mtende.

Je, umewahi kutafakari kuhusu namna wanafunzi wengi, ukiwemo miongoni mwao, wanavyosafiri kwenda shuleni? Yumkini jibu lako kwa swali hili litadhihirisha kwamba asilimia kubwa hutembea kwenda shuleni, wengine hutumia baiskeli, magari ya umma na ya kibinafsi, pikipiki na gari mosi. Bila shaka aina ya usafiri hutofautiana kulingana na uwezo wa kiuchumi na umbali baina ya mwanafunzi na shule yake.

Kila aina ya usafiri ina changamoto maalum. Mathalani ikiwa umezungumza na wenzako ambao hutembea kwenda shuleni, haikosi wamekueleza dhiki wanazokumbana nazo. Licha ya safari za aina hii kuwachosha wanafunzi, ni wazi kuwa wanafunzi wengine hata hukosa masomo kwa sababu ya kutopitika kwa njia wakati wa mvua nyingi.

Pengine hata wewe umewahi kujipata katika njia panda baada ya daraja unalovukia kusombwa na maji ya mto uliofurika. Isitoshe, watembeao huweza kuathirika kiafya wakati wa kipupwe. Baridi huweza kuwasababishia pumu au hata kichomi. Wengine huwa katika hatari ya kuteleza kwenye njia zenye matope na kuvunjika viungo vya mwili. Hawa pia wamo katika hatari zaidi ya kutekwa nyara na hata kunyanyaswa kimapenzi.

Wanafunzi wengine huwahusudu wale ambao husafiri shuleni, ama kweli gari la sule, au la kibinafsi. Wakiulizwa kuhusu kiini cha husuda hii, wanasema kwamba wenzao hawa hawachoki kwani magari haya yanawachukua kutoka mlangoni mwa nyumba zao. Hata hivyo ukichunguza vyema utapata kwamba hata hawa wana matatizo sugu. Kwa vile magari ya shule huwabeba wanafunzi kutoka sehemu mbalimbali, magari haya hayana budi kuanza safari mapema. Hii huwalazimu wanafunzi nao kuamka alfajiri na mapema ili kuyawahi magari haya. Matokeo ni kwamba wanafunzi wengi hawadiriki kulala usingizi wa kutosha. Kuna wale ambao hulala saa nne usiku baada ya kukamilisha kazi za darasani, kisha wanaraushwa saa kumi ili kijitayarisha basi la sa kumi na moja. Wanafunzi wa aina hii hukumbwa na uchovu, na bila shaka husinzia darasani.
Isitoshe, wanafunzi wanaotumia usafiri wa umma hulalamikia msongamano wa magari ambao unawafanya kukawia njiani, na hata kupewa adhabu kwa kuchelewa kufika shuleni. Wengine hata hukataliwa na magari ya abiria, eti wanalipa fedha kidogo na kuwasababishia wenye magari hasara. Wanafunzi hawa huaibika na kulazimika kutembea hadi shuleni. Hali kadhalika magari ya umma humpa mwanafunzii mazingira ya kujifunzia tabia mzuri na mbaya. Pamoja na wanafunzi hawa hupata fursa ya kutengamana na wenzao kutoka shule nyingine, wao pia huweza kuathiriwa vibaya na hulka za wasafiri wengine. Kuna wale ambao huiga lugha, mitindo ya mavazi, namna ya kutembea na hata mienendo mingine ya madereva na utingo. Wengine huishia kuwa waraibu sugu wa vileo kutokana na vielezo wanavyopata kwenye magari haya. Muziki, picha na video na mazungumzo kupitia vyombo vya habari vilivyo kwenye magari haya huchangia kuzorotesha tabia ya wanafunzi. Hii ni kwa sababu baadhi ya maswala yanayozungumziwa ni ya aibu na hayapaswi kusikilizwa na watu wa umri mbichi.

Nihahiri kwamba kila aina ya usafiri ina athari zake. Hata hivyo, baniani mbaya kiatu chake dawa. Usafiri unaitajika katika kufanikisha masomo ya wanafunzi na katika uchukuzi wa bidhaa na vifaa mbalimbali ambavyo wanahitaji shuleni. Ni jukumu la kila mwanajamii kuhakikisha kwamba mikakati ifaayo imewekwa ili kukinga dhidi ya madhara yanayoandahana na kila aina ya usafiri. Wanafunzi nao wakae ange kutambua watu ambao huenda wakatosa katika maovu. Wachujo ya kuiga na ya kukataa.

Jack could fold any kind of papers into boats. Any kind of paper, Jack could fold it into pretty boats. Be it newpapers, magazine paper, wrapping papers and even paper towels!

One day, Jack made the most beautiful boat he has ever made. The paper he used had a shiny texture. There were words written all over it and had many pictures all over it. He folded the paper into the most magnificent boat. The sail of the boat was truly breathtaking because it was the tallest he had sen on a paper boat. Upon being done with it, little Jack put the paper boat on the table next to his bed and went to sleep.

As Jack slept, he woke up in the middle of the night. Strange noises filled Jack's ears. All of them were coming from the little paper boat. Soon the paper boat had a paper crew and a captain in a blue hat. Jack could hear the captain scream orders.

"Let loose the stern lights." Then the captain yelled again, "sailors, prepare to sail."
Little Jack shot out of his bed and shouted, "Hey! Where are you going with my boat?"

"Then climb aboard" the captain told the boy. Jack realized that his room has turned into an ocean and his boat was about to set sail. After Jack stepped into the boat, the paper boat swiftly slid on the water and slid across the bedroom.

Soon, the paper boat had found its way onto the main road, just across the supermarket. As the paper boat sailed, Jack saw the world whizz by. Just as Jack was watching the world go by, he asked the captain, "Do you think that we could sink after the boat becomes soggy?" To which the captained smilled.

Then he said, "Oh no, my boy! This boat is made out of the toughest material for the paper boats!"

"Okay,” replied Jack. Again he had a question. "But where are we going?" asked Jack. "We are going to catch the pirates little boy," replied the captain. "There are pirates, in the parking lot of the shopping mall!" As the paper boat reached the parking lot, Jack could hear a roaring sound. He became scared.

"Pirates! They are here! The pirates!" yelled the sailors. When Jack turned he was taken aback. A huge boat with big yellow sails. Jack could see the paper pirates swinging their swords. A fierce battle took place. Alongside the sailors, Jack fought bravely! Like a true hero Jack fought. When the pirates boat sunk with many holes, the sailors and Jack yelled, "Hurray, we won!"

Read the passage below and answer questions 39 - 50.

Kenya is quickly joining the bandwagon in the world of using electricity driven cars. Across the citizenry; notworthy government agencies, the new imports concerning automobiles. Government of Kenya seems to have a soft spot for electric cars. All the reasons are well known to anyone who has made the slightest of effort to understand why.

Rather than a petroleum tank, an electric vehicle has an on-board battery that gets charged.

Incidentally, fossil fuel is non-renewable, has fluctuating prices and pollutes the environment. One of the basic reasons for the emergence of an alternative source of power for vehicles, which are fairly eco-friendly and relatively cheap. For the most part, electric cars offer a near-perfect answer. Nevertheless, like all manmade machines, electric cars have some disadvantages.

Mostly, the cars are fitted with batteries that have built in generators to provide power for thrust. Furthermore, electric cars are not necessarily powered by electricity generated by fossil fuel. Renewable sources of energy like solar and wind can be used to generate electricity for propulsion.

In electric trains, the power is transmitted via overhead cables and then stored in batteries. On the other hand, electric cars are plugged into power sources for a few hours to charge the batteries. However, people are yet to fully embrace electric cars and among the reasons given; they are still on a trial phase, and power recharge stations along highways and scanty.

The most noteworthy case about electric cars is that they are eco-friendly. They boast of having zero emissions of carbon dioxide thus minimal environmental pollution. This is contrary to cars with internal combustion engines. It is also important to note that, it is cheaper to operate on electric car compared to a conventional one because it is cheaper to charge a car battery than it is to refuel a tank.

Moreover, electric cars loose just about around 10% of their energy through heat which make them energy efficient. On the same note, electric cars have silent engines thus they produce minimum noise. Conventional cars produce irritating noise. In addition, since electric cars are powered by energy from renewable sources, they prevent the depletion of fossil fuels.

Unfortunately, electric cars are not suited for long journeys. This is because they have less torque and can only attain just some significant speed.

Besides, electric cars are yet to receive the much needed infrastructural support, like charging and serving stations along highways. In fact, most mechanics find electric vehicles complex because they are a rarity and interaction with them is limited to big cities.

Another thing, electric cars are dependent on batteries that store charge which can only supply enough power for a limited number of hours. As a result, a full tank of a conventional car can give a driver more distance than a fully charged battery of an electric car. In this regard, electric car owners have to operate within a given radius where they are confident of getting a power source and a service station. In addition, since electric cars are noiseless they are prone to accidents because people with visual disability cannot hear them when approaching crossing zones.

In this age, of global warming and inflation affecting nearly everything, the use of eco-friendly and cheaper source of energy to power machines is taking the centre stage. Electric cars therefore play a key role in preservation of the environment because of their minimum emissions.

39. Which common practice is Kenya quickly  adopting?
