Nilikuwa mpigabuku wa skuli ya Wema, mwaka jana. Sikuwa na shaka kuibuka galacha katika mtihani wa kitaifa. Nilielewa lazima ja ibada nijifunge kibwebwe na kuuzika uzembe kwenye kaburi la sahau ili niupasi mtihani wa kitaifa. Aku zote ningerauka alfajiri na mapema na kuyabwaga mabuku mezani. Ningejipinda mgongo shabiku upinde na kuvivamia va bin vuu ya nsige gundani la mihogo. Yakini niliuma vitabu we! Kisa na maana sikuwa na namna nyingine ya kuinusuru mbari yangu iliyolemazwa na uchochole si haba. Joho la bidii lilisalia kuwa mwandani wangu.
Taabu na madhila ya baba wa kambo hayakunizuia hata chembe kutia bidii. Vioja vyake kila jioni vilinipa maudhui na vidokezo vya insha ya kila nui kesho yake. Hata kama kuna siku mama alifurushwa akapata hifadhi kwa jirani, mie sikukosa kuzimaliza gange za ziada za walimu. Wakufuu wetu nao walijitolea kwa vyovyote vile kuhakakikisha tunaelewa vyema. Ukweli walijaribu juu chini kufanikisha ndoto zetu. Hakika tenda wema nenda zako Mola atakulipa Wakufuu wa masomo ya sayasi na hisabati walirauka mapema kabla umande kukaushwa na miale ya asubuhi. Walituelezea hadi tukaelewa dhahiri shahiri. Mola daima twamwomba hasa bwana Manywele aliyejinyima hata kishuka kutupa mazoezi ya Sayansi ampe fadhila
Mtihani wa kitaifa ulipowadia hatukuwa na wasiwasi wala kihoro cha nja maji kwani yote tuliyofunzwa yalikuwa tamulini. Tulidurusu hadi misamiati, surufu na fomula zikatuzoea. Kila mmoja wa watahiniwa hasa mimi tulikuwa ngangari kukabiliana na mitego yote ya mtahini. Lo! Siku moja kabla, hofu iliniteka nyara, nikapumbaa na kukosa la kufanya. Mlilikuwa mkikimkiki na mkukumkuku kuwa halambe halambe. Utulivu uliokuwepo ulipasuliwa na vifijo na vifoli. Mkufuu mkuu akaturaushia kadi ya heri njema. Mwalimu majitamu naye akatupa nasaa na wosia wa kutokuwa na woga. Alisema mtihani ni mtihani hivyo basi hakukuwa na haja ya kuwa na mishemishe wali jekejeke la woga.
Asubuhi na mapema tukafika na kuwasili skulini. Tuliukalia ule wa Hisabati siku ya Mosi. Somo la sayansi saa nane huku insha tukiandika mwendo wa alasiri. Jua lilivibusu vilele vya milima nalo giza la kanika kuanza kubisha hodi. Siku ya pili tulianzia na somo la Mapishi pamwe na Kiswahili mwendo wa saa tano. Saa nane nilimalizia na Insha ya methali "Mchuma janga hula na wa kwao."
uliukalia ule wa somo la Kiingereza na kutamatisha elimu ya skuli za msingi. Ilibidi sasa tuwe wavumilivu na punda bila wasiwasi wala shaka. Kwa hamu na hamumu tuliyasubiri matokeo.
Hayawi hayawi huwa. Bidii na juhudi zetu mazao yake yangejulikana na pesa siku hiyo ya alhamisi mwezi Januari. Nakumbuka fika nilivyobumburushwa na kugutushwa na sauti ya redio. "Waziri wa elimu Bw. Matiang'i atayasoma matokeo mwendo wa saa tatu za alfajiri". Waja wa aila ya Joshua walijaa na kujazana pale kiamboni petu. Kama ilivyo mila na desturi, kwamba ufanisi ni wa kila mwanajamii. Yakini kwao, si kwa mchuma janga kula na wa kwao. Mwia usio na chupa kuoza vituo vyote runinga vilihinikiza hewani matangazo ya moja kwa moja.
Jina la mtaluniwa bora nchini likatajwa "Bora mufti ndiye shiyaa wa mwaka huu." Picha ikaonyeshwa nayo haikuwa ya mwingine bali mie mwana wa mzee Mufti. Shangwe na vigelegele vya heri njema na heko vilihinikiza hewani. Uwanja wetu muda si muda ulijazana na kujaa hadi na nusura kuwatapika wengine. Vimulimuli vya kamera nusura viunde jua. Kila mmoja alisheheni furaha ya ufanisi wangu. Kijiji chetu ambacho hakikutambulika sasa kikijulikana nchini. Ndoto yangu ya kuwa mhazigi ikiwa si ya alinacha. Shukrani tumbi za kumsifu Maulana zikihinikiza hewani.

Main lived with his elderly aunt in a small village called Yondo. He was fourteen years old. He was kind, hardworking and listened to his elders. His parents had passed on when he was still a baby. His aunt therefore decided to raise Maina as her own son. Though she had sons and daughters of her own, she loved and cared for Maina in equal measure. He loved her back as well.
Every morning, Maina woke up early before the first cock crowed and went to the well to fetch water, because his aunt was too old to fetch the water herself. He also cleared the house After this, he rushed to school and he was always the first one to get there. He arranged the classroom chairs and desks.

The head teacher, Maina's class teacher and his Science teacher decided to go to his home. Science was his favourite subject. Not that he hated other subjects. No, not at all.

Maina's head teacher and teacher were sorry to hear that. They wished him a quick recovery and promised to visit him. After a week, Maina had fully recovered and went back to school.

Upon arrival home, he would wash utensils, prepare supper and embark on doing his homework. By the time he retired, he would be too tired to lift anything.
I am sure you are asking where his aunt's children were? Two of them were out of the country studying and the first born was working in the city where he lived with his family. His family occasionally came to visit them.

Read the passage below and answer questions 39 to 50.
Foodstuffs are basically divided into carbohydrates (mainly starch and sugars) protein and fats from animals or plants sources. Often, one particular source contains more than one constituent but may be predominantly carbohydrates, proteins. Vitamins and minerals, though not providing direct energy, are essential for many bodies functions. They are usually required in relatively small amounts and are obtainable from the primary food sources unless one is eating highly refined foods or there is an inability within the body to extract them from these foodstuffs. Under these conditions, supplementation becomes necessary. Therefore it is important to eat fresh wholesome foods grown in places with no known minerals deficiencies or excesses.
dy's energy requirements and supplies all the essential building blocks. These include nine amino acids (from proteins, one fatty acid (from fats) and glucose (from carbohydrates). The body has an in-built mechanism for converting types of food into different building blocks, those listed above, which together with vitamins and minerals have to be acquired from the diet.
It should be appreciated that, while food is only eaten at certain times, the body requires energy continuously. Thus, the composition of a meal should be such that it can provide energy immediately and also in a sustained manner. Carbohydrates provide energy in the short term, proteins in the medium term and fats in the long team. The same process is replicated in the body when it is using up stored food. The type of activity one is involved in also influences energy needs, people leading actual lives require more energy than those with a sedentary lifestyle. Children, pregnant women and breast feeding mothers also require more energy
The biological value of food is also important. Animals' protein has a higher biological value Act than plant protein and hence, a small portion may suffice. Unsaturated vegetable fats are also safer to use compared to animal fats. Generally, a balanced diet should supply fifty percent of energy requirements from carbohydrates, thirty percent from proteins and twenty percent from fats.
Though associated with good factors, the use of mega-doses of vitamins cannot be a substitute for energy requirements. It is especially not advisable to have a high intake of fats, soluble vitamins A, D, E and K and foods with high minerals content, especially of sodium and potassium. Where deficiency exists due to the soil type or food preparation style, supplementation via manufactured foodstuffs for example, iodized salt or fortified bread and milk, may do as a substitute.

Kila mwanadamu ulimwenguni ana haki ambazo ni faradhi kila mmoja kuzingatia kile kinachonitia kiwewe ni kwamba wengi wetu tumekuwa tukizipigania haki zetu na kuzizika katika kaburi la liliwala zile za watoto. Ajabu zaidi ni kwamba wazazi wa watoto hawa ndio waliotia fora katika kuji watoto. Wanazivalia miwani hasa. Ninashikwa na jitimai na kibuhuti kikubwa, nikiona namna wavyele hawa wanavyosahau dhima na wajibu wao wa kuwatunza watoto wao. Wao, uajibikaji wa kuwalea watoto wao kwa njia nyofu na ongofu wameutia katika kaburi la sahau. Ikumbukwe kuwa kila mtoto ana haki zake na ni sharti kama mauti haki hizo zipewe kipaumbele na yeyote aliyewikwa jukumu hilo na Mola Mkawini.
Mathani, tunaelewa kuwa watoto wana haki ya kupata elimu. Wazazi wapende wasipende, watake wasitake, ni jukumu lao kuwapeleka watoto wao shuleni kusoma. Kwani haijawafikia masikioni kuwa climu ni taa gizani huzagaa? Enzi za zamani za uwaacha watoto kuzurura mitaani kivoloya bila lengo wala nia, zimepitwa na wakati. Elimu ndiyo nuru ya jamii. Tukiwaclimisha wana wetu, tutaupiga vita ulalahoi. Tutakuwa na wataalamu waliotaalamika katika nyanja na bila shaka tutajivunia watoto wetu.
Mtoto anayo haki ya kulelewa vizuri. Mlezi ama mzazi wake hana budi kuhakikisha kuwa mtoto amepatilo chakula cha kutosha na chenye lishe bora. Isitoshe watoto wanayo haki ya kuvishwa mavazi yatakayowakinya dhidi ya baridi yabisi na jua kali. Ukipita mitaani, utapigwa na butwaa kuviona vitoto vikicheza cheza vikiwa raham: wazazi hawa kwani hawaoni soni? Vikiwa katika harakati zao za kucheza, hujipata wakichezea takataka vilizosheheni makombo ya vyakula vilivyooza na kuozeana. Kwa hivyo, wanajipata wakivitumbukiza vinywani na hatimaye kuugua maradhi mbalimbali.
Sikonei hapo katu, lazima aidha nikujuze kuwa watoto wana haki ya kupata malazi bora na kuishi katika nyumba ili kumkinga na mabadiliko ya hali ya anga kama vile mvua, baridi na jua. Alalapo sharti pawe pazuri.
Asiachwe alale sakafuni penye baridi kali kama barafu. Husemwa, mwana wa yungi hulewa sembuse wa mwanadamu?
Familia iwe na watu watulivu, wenye mapenzi na wanaowajibika. Tusiwarushie watoto maneno makali ya kuwaumiza kwa udhuru wa kuwarekebisha. Akikosea, mtoto ascmezwe kwa upendo na aonyeshwe kuwa alilolifanya si zuri na asirudie. Endapo atarudia, basi aadhibiwe kama mwanadamu bali si kama mbwa aliyetabawali msikitini
Mtoto akilelewa vyema katika mazingira mazuri na matulivu, atainuka kuwa mwajibikaji wa kutegemewa na jamii yote. Aidha akilelewa vibaya, atakua akiwa mzigo sio tu kwa wazazi wake, bali pia jamii nzima. Sote tushirikiane zaidi ya kiko na digali, kinu na mchi ili kwa pamoja tumlee mtoto vizuri kwa kuzingatia haki zote zote ili tukijenge kizazi kijacho..

Soma kifungu kifuatacho kisha ujibu maswali 41 mpaka 50.
Maisha yangu yalikuwa yale ya Sultan bin Jerere. Nilichokihitaji nilikipata bila kutoa jasho hata. Wazazi wangu walinionyesha mapenzi ya dhati. Nyumbani kwetu kulikuwa peponi. Hakuna kilichokosa na endapo kilikosa, kilikuwa kimeendewa popote ulimwenguni. Nguo zetu hazikutengenezwa barani sembuse nchini? Magari ya kifahari yaliyonunuliwa ghali yasingehesabika. Nilipelekwa shuleni kwa shangingi na kusubiriwa na dereva wangu mpaka wakati ule ningemaliza masomo. Sikupata masaibu katu na niliishi maisha ya raha mustarehe kweli.
Hata hivyo, raha yangu ilifikia tamati ya ghafla. Ajali isiyojali ilinipokonya wazazi wangu wapenzi. Ndege waliyokuwa wakisafiria ilianguka baada ya kupata hitilafu za kimtambo na kuwasafirisha jongomeo abiria pamoja na wote waliokuwa humo. Vifo hivyo vya ghafla bin vuu, viliyabadilisha maisha yangu. Maajabu ni kuwa mali ya wazazi wangu yalitoweka ghafla. Sijui mali hiyo walitoa kupi wazazi wangu.
Wajomba wangu pamoja na jamaa kwa jumla walitoweka nyusoni. Nilibaki peke yangu bila wa kunilea wala kuniongoa. Hakuna aliyenijali, marafiki wa wazazi wangu nao waliniambaa na kutoweka zaidi ya umande wa alfajiri jua lichomozapo,
Hapo ndipo wazazi wa rafiki yangu Zena walipoamua kuingilia kati na kunichukua. Hii ni baada ya rafiki yangu kuwasimulia masaibu yaliyokuwa yamenisibu. Faraja iliyoje! Bwana Fadhila alikuwa mzee aliyebugia chumvi si haba. Aliishi na mkewe Bi. Moyo. Ingawa walikuwa hawana hawanani, waliona ni heri umaskini wa mali na utajiri wa utu na wema, Bwana Fadhula na mkewe walishirikiana kama kiko na digali kulusomesha mimi na rafiki yangu wakinichukua kama mmoja wa watoto wao. Tulipokosa, walituadhibu sawia bila kutubagua Chakula tulikula pamoja, kiwe wali ama pure. Upendo ulikuwa katika familia hii ulizidi utajiri wowote.
Nami niliamua kukaza kamba masomoni ili nisije nikawaibisha wafadhili wangu. Aidha nilimhimiza Zena kuuma uzi shuleni ili kujijengea mustakabali aula. Shuleni tulitia fora na kuenziwa na kila mmoja shuleni. Tulimaliza masomo ya shule ya upili na kujiunga na chuo kikuu ambapo mimi nilisomea udaktari naye Zena akiridhika na uhasibu. Pamoja, tulikuwa kama mtu na kivuli chake.
Kwa kurudisha mkono wa fadhila, tuliwajengea nyumba nzuri na kuwaajiri wafanyakazi wa kuwasaidia nyumbani na shambani. Niliamini kuwa miili yetu ni kama mimea. Ikitunzwa inanawiri vyema. Wazee hawa walibadilika na kuwa kama vijana. Waliishi maisha ya raha mustarehe walifurahia juhudi walizozifanya kumtunza mtoto wa watu, mwanamkiwa ambaye sasa amegeuka kuwa mwana wa maana katika uzee wao.
