Page 2 of 6 SECTION A Toxt1 cee io 0 ‘English Language Paper2 “Secondary 4 Preliminary Exam 2016 Page 3 of 6 Section B Text2 ‘The text below describes an old woman who sweeps the stairwell of a building. Read the text carefully and answer Questions 5-14 in the Question Paper Booklet. 1 BOORI MA, sweeper of the stairwell, had not slept in two nights. So the moming before the third night she shook the mites out of her bedding. She shook the quits once undemeath the letter boxes where she lived, then once again at the mouth of the alley, causing the crows which were feeding on vegetable peels to scatter in several directions. As she started up the four fighis to the roof, Boori Ma kept one hand 5 placed over the knee that swelled at the start of every rainy season. That meant that her bucket, quilts, and the bundle of reeds which served as her broom all had to be braced under one arm. Lately Boori Ma had been thinking that the stairs were getting steeper; climbing them felt more like climbing a ladder than a staircase. She was ‘sixty-four years old, with hair in a knot no larger than a walnut, and she looked almost 10 as narrow from the front as she did from the side. 2 In fact, the only thing that appeared three-dimensional about Boori Ma was her voice: brittle with sorrows, and shrill enough to grate meat from a coconut. It was with this voice that she enumerated, twice a day as she swept the stairwell, the detalls of her plight suffered since her deportation to Calcutta after Partition. ‘At that time, she 15 ‘maintained, the turmoil had separated her from a husband, four daughters, a two- story brick house, a rosewood chest, and a number of coffer boxes whose skeleton keys she still wore,-along with her life savings, tied to the free end of her sari, 3. Aside from her hardships, the other thing 8oori Ma liked to chronicle was éasier times. ‘And 50, by the time she reached the second-fioor landing, she had already drawn to. 20 the whole building's attention the menu of her third daughter's wedding night. "We married her to @ school principal. The rice was cooked in rosewater. The mayor was invited. Everybody washed their fingers in pewter bows.” Here she paused, evened out her breath, and readjusted the supplies under her arm. She took the opportunity also to chase a cockroach out of the banister poles, then continued: "Mustard prawns 25 were steamed in banana leaves. Not a delicacy was spared. Not that this was an extravagance for us. At our house, we ate goat twice a week. We had a pond on our property, full of fish.” 4 “Aman came to pick our dates and guavas. Another clipped hibiscus. Yes, there | tasted Ife. Here | eat my dinner from a rice pot.” At this point in the recital Boori Ma's 30 ‘ears started to bum; a pain chewed through her swollen knee. “Have | mentioned that ' crossed the border with just two bracelets on my wrist? Yet there was a day when my feet touched nothing but marble. Believe. me, such comforts. you cannot even dream them.” 5 Whether there was any truth to Boori Ma's litanies no one could be sure. For one 35 thing, every day, the perimeters of her former estate seemed to double, as did the contents of her ‘chest and coffer boxes. No one doubted she was a refugee; the accent in her Bengali made that clear. Stil, the residents of this particular flat-buiiding ‘could not reconcile Boori Ma's claims to prior wealth alongside the more fikely account of how she had crossed the East Bengal border, with the thousands of others, on the 40 back of a truck, between sacks of hemp. And yet there were days when Boori Ma insisted that she had come to Calcutta on a bullock cart. English Language Paper2 ‘Secondary 4 Preliminary Exam 2016 Page 4 of 6 ‘So she garbled facts. She contradicted herself. She embellished aimost everything. But her rants were so persuasive, her fretting so vivid, that it was not 50 easy to dismiss her. What kind of landowner ended up sweeping stairs? That was what Mr. 45 Dalal of the third floor always wondered as he passed Boori Ma on his way fo and from the. office, where he filed receipts for a wholesale distributor of rubber tubes, pipes, and valve ftings in the plumbing district of College Street. The theory eventually circulated that Boori Ma had once worked as hired help for a prosperous aristocrat back east, and was therefore capable of exaggerating her past 50 at such elaborate lengths and heights. Her throaty impostures hurt no one. All agreed that she was 2 superb entertainer. in exchange for her lodging below the letter boxes, Boori Ma kept their crooked stairwell spotiessly clean, Most of all the residents ked that Boori Ma, who slept each night behind the collapsible gate, stood guard between them and the outside word, 55 ‘Adapted from Interpreter of Maladies by Jhumpa Lahiri ‘English Language Paper 2 “Secondary 4 Preliminary Exam 2016 Page 5 of 6 Section C Text 3 The text discusses how in a remote comer of Indonesia, the departed—and their compses remain a part of the family. Read it carefully and answer the Questions 15-20 in the Question Paper Bookiet. 1 Toraja is dotted with villages perched high on the side of cliffs or nestled deep in the valleys below. Rantepao, a dusty town of 26,000, is reached mainly via an eight-hour trip from ‘Sulawesi's largest city, Makassar, on 200 miles of corkscrewing, cliff-hugging road. The villages in turn are connected only by winding, one-lane dirt paths carrying two-lane traffic that dodges dogs and toddlers along routes pocked with head-banging, watermelon-size ruts. 2. Neatly half a milion Torajans lve in the highlands of the Indonesian island of Sulawesi, The vast majority, atleast 90 percent, are Christians, but they remain influenced by their traditional religion, Aluk To Dolo, or Way of the Ancestors. 3. For Torajans, the death of the body isn't the abrupt, final, severing event of the West. Instead, death is just one step in a long, gradually unfolding process. Late loved ones are tended at home for weeks, months, or even years after death. Funerals are offen delayed as long as necessary to gather far-flung relatives. The grandest funeral ceremonies are week-long events drawing Torajans home in a vast reverse diaspora from wherever in the world they may be, ‘When a brigade of a hundred or more motorcycles and cars rips through town accompanying a corpse home from far away, trafic stops in a manner that not even an ambulance or a police officer can command, Here, death trumps life. 4 Torajans do not reject medical treatments for life-threatening conditions. Nor do they escape ‘ariof when loved ones die. But far from pushing death away, almost everyone here holds death at the center of life. Torajans believe that people aren't really dead when they die and that a profound human connection lasts well past death. Death for many Torajans is not a brick wall but a gauze veil. It is not a severing but just another kind of connection. Often in Toraja the deep link with a loved one doesn't end at the grave. Periodically some northern Torajans bring their relatives out of their tombs to give them fresh clothing and burial shrouds. 5 No one knows exactly when Torajan death practices began. The Torajan language was written down only in the early 20th century, so most of the old traditions are still oral. Only recently, through carbon dating of wooden coffin fragments, have archaeologists concluded that there are Torajan death practices that date back at least as far as the ninth century A.D. The first Dutch ships arrived in what is now Indonesia in the late 16th century, searching for nutmeg and cloves. Just over 300 years later they reached Toraja, @ cultural region that today encompasses the districts of Toraja Utera and Tana Toraja. Thanks to Dutch missionaries, its a Chistian enclave, made up mostly of Protestants but also Roman Catholics, in a majority- ‘Muslim country. Christianity has tried more ‘or less’ Successfully to’ partner with traditional practices: Nearly every step of a Torajan death is greeted with prayers, readings from Matthew or John, and a recitation of the Lord's Prayer. 6 Everything about the Torajan funeral is hierarchical, cementing the status of the dead person's family, the people who attend, and many who don't. It marks the end of more than a week of meals, receptions, meetings, prayers, entertainment, and carefully choreographed rituals separating the dead gradually from life. The body moves from the home into the family’s ancestral building, then into a nearby rice barn, then to the funeral tower overlooking the ceremonial plain. 10 15 20 25 30 40 English Lenguege Paper? Secondary 4 Preliminary Exarn 2016 Page 6 of 6 Funerals glue Torajans tightly, one family to the next, one village to the next. Funerals ‘consume savings as people outdo each other in gifts of animals, creating muttigenerational ‘obligations and conspicuous consumption. Your cousin donates a buffalo? You must give a bigger one. You can't repay a past git? Then your son or daughter must. If they can't, the ‘burden will fll to your grandchildren. This dark side of funeral obligations can be clearly heard 45 in the cries of the emcee announcing the gifts. “Whose pig is this?” he intones over a loudspeaker. ‘Whose buffalo is this?" In a metal-roofed shelter below, government officials tally the qualty and size of each gift for tax purposes. At the ceremony’s end the neat ledger will be presented to the family, which will be expected to reciprocate when some member of a giver's, family dies. 50 ‘Torajan funerals are also great fun. A funeral is a wedding, a bar mitzvah, and a family reunion all in one, easily outstripping the convivialty of Irish wakes. Lavish funerals are a chance to ‘meet and mingle, to eat and drink well, to enjoy games and entertainment—even to network for jobs or eye prospective mates. There are water buffalo fights. (No gambling,” the emcee announces. “The family is Christian, and the police are here. The family does not support 65 gambing.”) As a cry goes up summoning the strongest to move the coffin to the tower, at least 50 young men seize the bamboo poles. They chant their way around the field, pumping the coffin up and down as the lyrics grow bawdy: something about body parts, and size, and sexual prowess. A water fight breaks out, with the bearers drenching each other, and the guests, with water from plastic cups. 60 Adapted from When Death Doesn't Mean Goodbye, National Geographic, April 2016 English Language Paper? ‘Secondary 4 Profminary Exam 2016 Page 1 of 5 English Language Paper 1 ‘Sec 4 Preliminary Examination 2016 Page 2 of S Name Se 4 Marks:___/ 10 Section A [10 marks] Carefully read the text below which consists of 12 lines, and tells of how the store clerks and fioorwakers prevent shoplfters from getting away with their loot.
