A few years ago, there were terrible floods in the southem parts of Tanzania. Kigata went to stay with his friends in a village called Mabatini.

When Kigata arrived at his friends village, it was raining heavily. There was mud and pools of water everywhere. His friends lived near Mirongo river and they could see that the river was rising. "If the river rises much more, we will be in trouble" said one of his friends.

Every evening, they listened to the weather forecast on the radio. The news was bad as the river had begun .to overflow. Some fields had got flooded. If the rain continued, there would be serious floods. "What shall we do?" asked the villagers. "We must call a village meeting "said Kigata" The villagers met and Kigata advised them to either stay in the village and hope that the rain stops or go to town where they would be much safe.

The following day, Kigata helped the villagers to leave the village. Some traveled by bus and others by lorry. They did not take a lot of luggage. They stored the remaining belongings on top of tables and chairs in their houses. They stayed with friends and relatives in town. That evening, it was announced on radio that the river bank at Serena was in danger of braking. If it broke, there would be floods at the villages near the river. Kigata was very worried. He decided to go with some of the villagers to try and make the river bank stronger by putting logs and bags of earth around the bank of the river to prevent it from breaking. They were glad the dam did not break.

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 favourite 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.

COMPREHENSION

Read the following passage carefully then answer questions 41 - 50 by writing the letter of the correct answer in your answer sheet.

The weather all over the world in 1997 - 1998 was very unusual. In Tanzania and other parts of East Africa, there was a lot of rain. Some parts of Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania and other neighboring countries were flooded. Houses were destroyed and many people became homeless. This destruction affected not only homes but also crops and this led to poor health because people did not get enough harvest.

Roads and railways were swept away, so transport and transportation became another problem.

Some people were killed. In some parts of East Africa, diseases became a problem. Stagnant and dirty water affected people in two different ways. Stagnant water made the breeding of mosquitoes easier and many people.were affected by malaria. Other diseases such as typhoid and cholera were caused by dirty water which was used for domestic activities like cooking, drinking and bathing. The results of this weather change affected people psychologically, socially and economically.

The cause of this unusual weather was El Nino. This is a large current of warm sea water. The name El Nino means "the CHILD". Peruvian fisherman gave the current of warm sea water this name because it appeared in Christmas time. It does not appear every year. It appear about every 5 years.

Mashaka was not a hard working man. He sometimes woke up very late in the morning. He was not as hard working fellow as his wife. He sometimes worked but at other times he stayed idle.

He lived with his wife and two chidren in a small house under mugumo tree. But his wife helped him. She always warned her husband of his behaviour. "My husband, what will our future be if you don't want to work? Can somebody from a different home come and work for us?" These questions became difficult to him.

One day his wife thought of the simplest way to help him. When they were taking their supper his wife gave an example of their neighbour Chapakazi who owned a big shop in the village.

"Please my husband! We have to learn from our neighbour Chapakazi the way he works. You see what he owns. Let us do the work to build our future." It took some minutes to think about what his wife was telling him. He even failed to swallow the food smoothly at the time. The man kept quiet, and after taking enough meal he went to bed. Indeed the words penetrated into his heart.

The next morning Mashaka surprised his wife as he got up very early." Today you will see that I am a man:' He took a small jembe and started to prepare the garden around their house.

He manured, transplanted the seedings and watered the garden. His wife congratulated him. Wow! Good husband! You have done a good job. Her husband felt very happy and proud. From that day Mashaka and his wife Jitihada worked very hard in their vegetable and fruits garden.

People have been asking themselves whether coffee drinking is harmful or not. Well, according to doctors, taking a cup of coffee has no danger at all. But people who drink too much coffee can experience health changes in their bodies. The heart beats speed up, breathing becomes difficult and blood pressure goes up.

SECTION D

COMPREHENSION

Read the following passage carefully and answer questions 41 - 50. Write the correct answer in your answer sheet.

Last year I surprised my friends when I showed them a pumpkin in a bottle. They all wondered how I had managed to get it in there, as the fruit was much too big to go through the bottle's narrow neck. Here is how I did it.

In the middle of December, I planted some pumpkin seeds in my garden. It was important to wait until all the insects were killed by the rains and there was no danger for the seeds to be eaten by the insects. I made a fence on which the pumpkin plant would grow. When I sowed the seeds I used some fertilizer to make sure that the plant grows healthy. Pumpkin plants like a lot of water, so I watered the plant on days when it did not rain.

Soon the plant grew up the fence and some weeks later there were small pumpkin fruits starting to form. I chose a perfect one about one inch long, but I did not pick it. I gently pressed it on its stalk into the narrow mouth of a bottle that I laid on one side of the fence. Then I covered the bottle with dry leaves so that the sun's rays coming through the glass would not burn the pumpkin. A few weeks later, when the pumpkin was fully grown, I cut the stalk and showed the pumpkin to my puzzled friends. They all wanted to cook and eat it; but how would they get it out?
