COMPREHENSION
6. Read the following passage carefully and then answer items “i – v” by writing the correct answers in the blank spaces provided.
Long time ago all babies were able to talk as soon as they were born. This was good because it made simple for mothers to take care of them. If a baby was sick, could say, “I am sick” instead of crying. All people were happy of this because parents had less problems to take care of these babies. But the common problem that babies had is that they could not control themselves. When they saw a one-eyed man they could ask him infront of people why he had one eye instead of two. People sat down and discussed what step was to be taken and agreed that babies were to be given yams so that they can not talk any more. And this was done.
Since that time up to this time babies cannot talk, they cry and saliva comes from their mouths because of the yams they were given.
i. What do babies do nowadays to express that they are sick? . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . ..
ii. Why was it good that babies were able to talk as soon as they were born? Give a reason. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

iv. Do you think was it good for babies to be given yams? . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . ...

A long time ago, there was a monkey and his wife who had a garden full of different crops such as beans, peas and cabbages. They also had plenty of yams. Mr. and Mrs. Monkey worked very hard day and night. During the dry season, they watered their garden by using water from the nearby well.
Near their garden lived a Tortoise who was slow and lazy. Mr. Tortoise never did any work. He used to sing his favorite songs all day while Monkey and his wife worked in their garden.
There was a lot of food in the monkey’s house. The house was so small it could hardly keep all the food from the garden. This was different from Mr. Tortoise’s house since there was no food at all. When Tortoise wanted some food, he got it by telling stories and singing songs. He used to tell children from different homes to take food along when going to his house for the stories and songs.
These children’s parents discovered that Mr. Tortoise was using their children for his survival. So they stopped their children from going there, hence Tortoise suffered from hunger. One day, the tortoise sent his son to the Monkey’s house to borrow some food and promised to pay him the next day. The Monkey gave the Tortoise some food. Though until today that debt has never been paid back.
Questions

(iv) Whose house was full of food?
(v) Why did the tortoise suffer from hunger?

Long time ago all babies were able to talk as soon as they were born. This was good because it made simple for mothers to take care of them. If a baby was sick, could say, “I am sick” instead of crying.
All people were happy of this because parents had less problems to take care of these babies. But the common problem that babies had is that they could not control themselves. When they saw a one-eyed man they could ask him infront of people why he had one eye instead of two. People sat down and discussed what step was to be taken and agreed that babies were to be given yams so that they can not talk any more. And this was done.
Since that time up to this time babies cannot talk, they cry and saliva comes from their mouths because of the yams they were given.

Read the following passage and answer the questions 41 – 45 by writing the correct answers in the special answer sheet OMR provided.
When the English teacher, Mr. Maneno, walked into the class, Lucky and Kidori were still talking. Lucy was shaken by what happened last night. Their house was striken by lighting and got destroyed. All the
children felt sorry for her. Mr. Maneno greeted the class and asked Lucy about the incident. After she had explained to him, Mr. Maneno decided to spend a few minutes to talk to us about lighting. This is what he said: “Lightning is a form of powerful electricity that moves through the air. It can move from one cloud to another or from the clouds in the sky to the ground in a short time. As it moves, a very bright light is produced. One flash of lightning is enough to light a million bulbs at the same time. There are different types of lightning. First, is the zigzag lightning. This is a chain of bright light that follows a winding path like that of a stream. Second, is the sheet lightning which has no form or shape. It is a bright flash that spreads all over and lights up the sky. Third, is the fireball lightning which is made up of balls of fire as large as balloons. They fall quickly from the clouds to the ground. As soon as each ball strikes the ground, it explodes into fire. Sometimes, a fireball may roll along the ground without exploding until it hits something,” he continued. “Everybody has seen a flash of lightning in sky followed by a loud sound. This is known as thunder. Many people, and especially children, are more afraid of thunder than the flash of lightning. But in reality, it is the lighting that people should be afraid of, rather than the disturbing noise. Many people, as well as livestock, are killed by lighting in many parts of the world. Buildings and trees can catch fire and be burnt completely. Electricity can pass through certain objects. These are known as good conductors of electricity. Those that do not allow electricity to travel through them easily are known as bad conductors of electricity. Examples of bad conductors of electricity are rubber, plastic and dry sticks. Lighting moves through the air down to the earth. If there is anything else in the air connected to the earth, it will travel through that thing instead of travelling through the air. That is why the high buildings and tall trees are struck by lightning easily.” Then, Mr. Maneno said that we shall learn a lot more of this in our science class. He stopped there and continued with his English lesson.

Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions that follow
Malaria is one of the dangerous diseases in Africa. It can cause death. It is transmitted by a female mosquito called anopheles. This mosquito bites at night. The person who has been infected by malaria will show symptoms such as fever and chills.
To protect ourselves from malaria, we have to wear long sleeved shirts, long trousers, socks and light coloured clothes in the dark. This because dark coloured clothes attract the mosquitoes. We also have to sleep under treated mosquito nets and drain stagnant water since the mosquitoes lay their eggs in stagnant water. Cutting the grass short also helps to keep the mosquitoes away from our environment.
