3. Read the following passage and then answer the questions that follow.
Natural resources can be classified as non – renewable and renewable. Non – renewable or
exhaustible resources such as fossils fuels, copper and gold exist in fixed amount in various places in
the earth crust. They can be used completely or economically depleted to the point where it costs too
much to get what is left, when 80 percent of its total estimated supply ha been removed and used.

A renewable resource is the one that can theoretically last forever, because it replaced through
natural process. Examples are trees in the forest, grasses in grasslands, wild animals, fresh surface
water in lakes and rivers, fresh air and fertile soils. The earth most valuable resources is its diversity
of potentially renewable forms of the life. But over use can convert renewable resources to non –
renewable by using them faster than they can be replenished.

Some non – renewable resources can be recycled or reused to extend supplies. Iron, aluminium,
glass for example, can be collected, remelted, reprocessed and made into new products. Also to
avoid excessive use of resources recycling of papers products needlessly burned or thrown away.
Reduced timbers needs for the paper industry. Domestic refuse can be used to generate power
particularly for local districts heating and lighting, schemes, through care must be taken when
incinerating to avoid air pollution problems.
Other non – renewable resources, such as fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas), cannot be recycled
or reused. When burned, the high quality useful energy in these fuels is converted to low quality
waste heat and exhausted gases that pollute the atmosphere

QUESTIONS
(a) From the passage, identify two resources which can be replaced through the natural process
(b) State three merits of recycling non – renewable resources.
(c) List down three environmental problems associated with burning of fossil fuels
(d) Explain the condition under which renewable resources cannot be renewed
(e) Suggest two measures to promote suitable use of natural resources

4. (a) Outline the consequences of improper behavior among the youth in

Tanzania by giving at least five points

(b) Briefly explain the importance of family stability by giving five points

6. “Currently proper moral behaviors have been violated by the agents of globalization especially at
family level”. Discuss six (6) measures to be taken against such behaviors in our society

COMPREHENSION AND SUMMARY

1. Read the following passage carefully then answer the questions that follow it.

To the ordinary man, one kind of oil may be as important as another. But when the politician or
the engineer refers to oil, they almost always mean mineral oil, the oil that drives tanks, aero
planes and warships, motor-cars and diesel locomotives. i.e. The oil that is used to lubricate all
kinds of machinery.
12
 This is the oil that has changed the life of the common man. When it is refined into petrol; it is
used to drive the internal combustion engine. To it, we owe the existence of the motorcar, which
has replaced the private carriage drawn by the horse. To this also, we owe the possibility of
flying. It has changed the methods of warfare on land and sea. This kind of oil comes out of the
earth.

Because it burns well, it is used as fuel and in some ways it is superior to coal. In this respect,
many big ships nowadays burn oil instead of coal. Because it burns rightly, it is used for
illumination. Countless homes are still illuminated with oil-burning lamps.

Apart from that, it is used for lubrication due to the fact that it is very slippery. Two metal
surfaces rubbing together cause friction and heat; if they are separated by a thin film of oil, the
friction and heat are reduced. No machine would work for long if it were not properly lubricated.
The oil used for this purpose must be of the correct thickness. If it is too thin it will not give
sufficient lubrication and if it is too thick it will not reach all parts that must be lubricated.

QUESTIONS

Choose the most suitable alternative to complete each of the following

Sentences. Write its letter in the answer sheets provided.

i) To the ordinary man

a) One kind of oil may be more important than another
b) All kinds of oil may be equally important
c) None of the kinds of oil may be important
d) Only one kind of oil may be important
ii) When the politician or the engineer refers to oil he means
a) Fuel for aero plane c) Diesel
b) Petrol d) Mineral oil
iii) The horse-drawn private carriage has been replaced by
a) The internal combustion engine c) The motorcar
b) The flying machine d) The methods of warfare
iv) The term “mineral oil” is used by the author to refer to
a) The oil from which petrol is made c) Any oil
b) Petrol only d) Any oil that burns
v) The kind of oil that comes out of the earth is superior to coal because
a) It is less difficult to handle c) It hardly burns
b) It is easier to carry d) It burns well
vi) Oil burning lamps
a) Are used in more and more homes
b) Are not used very much
c) Burns more brightly than any other kind of lamp
d) Are used by large number of homes even today

a) Oil c) Importance of Oil
b) Mineral oil d) Petrol and Diesel

2. Read and summarize the following passage in about (80) eighty words
One great defect of our civilization is that it does not know what to do with its knowledge.
Science as we have seen, has given up powers fit for the gods, yet we use them like small
children. For example, we do not know how to manage our machines. Machines were made to be
man’s servant; yet he has grown so independent on them that they are in a fair way to become his
masters.

Already most men spend most of their lives looking after and waiting upon machines. And the
machines are very stern masters. They must be fed with coal, and given petrol to drink, and oil to
wash with and must be kept at the right temperature. And if they do not get their meals when
they expect them, they grow sulky and refuse to work or burst with rage and blow up and spread
rain and destruction all around them. So we have to wait up on them very alternatively and do all
that we can to keep them in a good temper.

Already we find it difficult either to work or play without the machines and a time may come
when they will rule us altogether, just as we rule the animals
