Read the following passage and then questions 6 – 9.

Drug use is on the rise among the youth today. Young people experiment with both hard drugs
and alcohol. Some claim it gives them a shared experience. Others say drugs help them to calm
down. There are those who are tricked into believing that drugs would help them solve whatever
problems they have. The end result is getting addicted.

Alcoholism for instance, is a chronic disorder in which a person is unable to refrain from
frequent and excessive consumption of alcohol. Excessive drinking damages the liver and leads
to liver cirrhosis. The alcoholic has impaired judgement and disturbed sleep.

The government of Kenya has ensured that there is no sale of alcohol for children under the age
of 18. In Kenya, it is illegal for minors to consume alcohol. According to the Alcoholic Drinks
Control Act 2010, it is an offense for a person to sell, give, or supply alcoholic drinks to a person
under the age of 18. It is also an offense for a person under the age of 18 to purchase, attempt to
purchase, or consume alcoholic drinks.

Surprisingly we still find some rogue businessmen doing the contrary. This menace of drug and
substance use should be fought by everyone. It should not be left to the government alone. We
all need a society that will develop tomorrow. We all need leaders tomorrow. We all need a
generation after us. For us to achieve all that, we must bring up our children in the right way.
They should know that drug and substance use is something to be avoided like the plague.

6. Majority of the youth get into using drugs


A. knowingly by following in the footsteps of their siblings.
B. unconsciously by believing that they have a solution to all their troubles.

C. experimenting with everything they come across.
D. by watching the celebrities on television.

A. a chronic disorder where one is unable to refrain from consuming alcohol in large
amounts.
B. a person who drinks an excessive amount of alcohol.
C. consumption of drugs and alcohol.
D. refraining from taking alcohol.
8. Which one among the following is not an effect of alcohol?
A. Impaired judgement
B. Damages the liver.
C. Relieving stress.
D. Disturbed sleep.
9. It is an offence for a person under the age of 18 to do all the following except?
A. Purchase alcohol.
B. Attempt to purchase alcoholic drinks.
C. Consume alcoholic drinks.
D. Not to purchase alcohol.

Read the passage below and then answer questions 10 – 12.

The lion, the donkey and the zebra were very good friends. They lived together in the forest.
They also hunted together and ate together as well. Whenever the lion went out to hunt, her
children would be well taken care of. The problem was she did not know who between the zebra
and the donkey looked after her cubs. Every time she dared ask; both would respond and say
they did. This confused her even more.

To make matters worse, the lion was unable to identify who the donkey was and who the zebra
was because they looked so much alike. One day, the lion came up with an idea to paint stripes
so that he could tell them apart. He would thereafter hide somewhere in the bush and watch who
actually cared for her cubs. When he did so, all the other donkeys that were in the land felt that
their friend the zebra was more beautiful and decided to also paint stripes on themselves.

The hare who did the job for the lion had an idea; he would charge them more. But before he
decided on that, he talked to the lion. The lion was not only angry with the hare but also with the

donkeys. Eventually the hare charged them double the price and painted them the same way he
had done to the zebras. To date, the lion cannot know who is the zebra and which one is the
donkey. Their friendship died as well.

B. Why zebras have stripes.

D. The end of the lion, donkey and zebra friendship.

Read the passage below and then answer questions 13-15.

The benefits of being a true sportsperson are many. A successful sportsperson in school gets an
opportunity to represent their school at different levels. This builds self-esteem and provides
great inspiration to others.

Think of athletes like Eliud Kipchoge, Vivian Cheruiyot, Geoffrey Kamworor to mention just
but a few. Do they not inspire you? I believe they do. They all started by participating in sports
while in school.

Character and personal growth are other important things you can achieve from sports. Being a
true sportsperson requires a great deal of discipline. You mould yourself into becoming the best
at what you do. It creates a sense of worth and pride to be a role model to others. One also grows
financially. The sports industry is one of the most rewarding industries in the world today.
Sportspeople are highly paid, especially when they get to national and international levels.

There is also the benefit of developing teamwork and problem-solving skills. Working to
achieve a common goal in a group teaches group discipline and selflessness. You learn to
effectively communicate and reason out the best way for all, as well as to accommodate the
views of others.

13. What do we learn about successful sportspersons?


A. They win in all competitions they participate in.
B. They are applauded by their schoolmates.

Hapo zamani za kale, katika ulimwengu wa wanyama, paliishi Swara na Mbweha Swara na
Mbweha walipendana kama chanda na pete. Wawili hao walikuwa na familia zao. Kila
mmoja alikuwa na nyumba yake, mke pamoja na watoto. Mbweha alikuwa na watoto sita naye
Swara alikuwa na watoto watano. Marafiki hao walifanya mambo yao kwa ushirikiano
mkubwa. Walifuga wanyama kama vile mbuzi, ng'ombe, kondoo na ngamia. Wanyama hao
waliwapa faida ya maziwa na wakati fulani kuwafanyia kazi.

Tofauti kubwa iliyokuwapo ni kuwa Swara alipenda shughuli za kilimo naye Mbweha alipenda
sana ufugaji. Swara alipouza maziwa yake, alipanda miche kisha akaamua kuwekeza katika
kilimobiashara. Alipanda mimea kama vile michungwa, mihindi, mitufaha na mingine.
Alipovuna mazao ya mimea hiyo, alitoa gharama ya ukulima huo kisha akabaki na faida kubwa
mno. Kwa kuwa kazi ilikuwa nyingi shambani, aliamua kuwapa wanyama wengine ajira. Kila
alipovuna mazao yake, aliyauza na kuweka pesa alizozipata katika benki. Hiyo ilikuwa njia ya
kuhakikisha kuwa pesa zake zisingeibwa na wahalifu. Uzalendo wa Swara ulijulikana sana
alipolipa ushuru kutokana na mapato.

Kwa sasa, marafiki hao wawili ni matajiri wakubwa. Wakazi katika eneo hilo wanapenda sana
kilimo, ufugaji na biashara. Vilevile, wao hulipa ushuru wa mapato mara kwa mara.
Wamejifunza kwa Swara na Mbweha kuwa kulipa ushuru kuna manufaa makubwa katika nchi.

1. Ukirejelea maisha ya Swara, ni jambo gani lililokuwa la mwisho kati ya mambo haya?
A. kulipa ushuru
B. kuuza mazao ya shambani

D. kuanzisha kilimo
2. Maneno 'walifanya mambo yao kwa ushirikiano mkubwa' yanaonyesha kuwa Swara
na rafiki yake walizingatia methali gani?
A. Achanikaye kwenye mpini hafi njaa.
