1. COMPREHENSION PASSAGE (20 MARKS)
Read the passage below and then answer the questions that follow.
Discipline is something that we have all experienced personally in different forms, seen used on
others, and is also something that many of us will go on to use later in life, both in the form of self-
discipline and as something to keep children and even employees in check. It is essential to life as
we know it, and we need it in its many different forms in many different situations.
The first reason that discipline is so important is that we all need to exercise self-discipline to be
successful in life. Self-discipline can mean very different things to different people; for students,
for example, self-discipline is often about motivating yourself and making yourself concentrate on
your studies and get your assignments in on time. For working people, it can be as simple as getting
up on time every morning, however tired you may be and how much you may hate your job, getting
to work on time and doing your job. Without this kind of self-discipline, people would not be able
to enjoy academic success, or be successful in their careers either.
Self-discipline is also required for dieters and anyone doing regular exercise, because given the
chance, most of us would prefer to be lazy rather than get up and exercise, and eat burgers and fries
rather than healthy food. Without it, even more people would be fat and unhealthy, and a lack of
self-discipline in some people certainly contributes to the obesity crisis.
Discipline is also something that needs to be used on others where necessary. If parents didn’t
discipline their children when they were naughty, children wouldn’t grow up knowing right from
wrong, or be able to become productive members of society who contribute to the system. Equally,
schoolteachers need to be able to dish out punishments to children who don’t behave themselves.
Without discipline in the classroom, there would be a great deal of disruption and nobody would
ever learn anything. Indeed, teachers who struggle to command the respect of students and who
fail to use discipline effectively will often have trouble even making themselves heard in a
classroom.
In the workplace, discipline is also essential to maintaining a hierarchy and dealing with employees
who do not follow company policies and procedures, regularly arrive late or not at all, or treat their
co-workers unfairly. Then, you have to consider that without discipline, there would be no law
enforcement. Murderers would be roaming the streets and everybody would be stealing from each
other, because there would be no consequences for their actions.
Discipline acts as a vital deterrent to stop children being naughty, people from missing work, and
even potential criminals from stealing and killing, and for this reason it is vital in human society.

UFAHAMU (ALAMA 15)
Soma taarifa hii kisha ujibu Maswali
Wanafunzi walikuwa wakiterema kwa furaha katika ukumbi wa shule. Hii ilikuwa siku yao ya
kwanza katika shule ya upili. Waliyasubiri kwa hamu kuu makaribisho rasmi ya mwalimu mkuu
wa shule hii yenye sifa kem kem. Muda si muda mlango ulifunguliwa. Sauti zilizokuwa juu
zilinywea. Wanafunzi wote waliyaelekeza macho mlangoni. Mwalimu mkuu aliingia. Alikohoa
kidogo kulisafisha koo kisha akasema, “ Wanafunzi wa kidato cha kwanza hamjambo?”
“Hatujambo mwalimu!” Tulijibu kwa pamoja.
“Ni furaha yangu kuu kuwakakaribisha katika shule hii ya kitaifa ya Fanaka.
Madhumuni ya kuwataka mtangamane hapa, fauka ya kuwakaribisha rasmi, ni kuwajulisha na
kuwafahamisha mambo kadha. Maisha yenu ya badaye ni kama jengo, na jengo likikosa msingi
imara na madhubuti hutetereka na hatimaye kuanguka.
Lengo la kimsingi la shule ni kuwakuza wanafunzi ambao, zaidi ya kufuzu vizuri katika masomo yao,
watakuwa vielelezo kwa taifa zima. Ninajua mna furaha kubwa baada ya kuhitimu mtihani wa
darasa la nane. Ni kweli kuwa kila mtu ana haki ya kuufurahia ufanisi wake, lakini tujue pia kuwa
tamu ikizidi tamu huwa si tamu tena. Ninachomaanisha ni kuwa inatujuzu kukumbuka kuwa,
baada ya sherehe kuna kazi pia. Ili muweze kuwa na furaha kama hii tena baada ya matokeo ya
mtihani wa kidato cha nne, lazima muwe na bidii kuanzia mwanzo. Elimu ni kama safari na ni
muhimu kuwa tayari mapema. Waswahili husema kuwa msafiri ni aliye pwani.
Ni matumaini yangu kuwa haitawachukua muda mrefu kutulia na kuyazoea maisha yenu mapya.
Kutulia huko ni muhimu ili kuwawezesha kukabiliana na majukumu mazito na adhimu
yatakayowakabili. Ili kuwasaidia katika kutulia na kujizoeza vyema kwenye mazingira haya
mapya, kila mmoja atapewa mwelekezi wa kumwongoza na kumshauri kuhusu kanuni za shule
pamoja na kumjuza sehemu mbalimbali ambako shughuli Fulani maalum huendeshwa. Baadhi ya
sehemu muhimu mnazotakiwa kuzijua ni maabara. Mathalani, maabara ya Kemia, Elimu-Viumbe
naFizikia. Aidha kuna chumba cha mafunzo ya tarakilishi. Kama mnavyojua, tunaishi katika
karne ambapo maendeleo ya kisayansi ni nguzo kuu ya ufanisi wa maisha ya binadamu.
Ni muhimu kukumbuka siku zote kuwa shule yetu hii imejengwa kwenye misingi ya nidhamu kwa
kutambua kuwa kijengacho mtu ni utu na tabia. Kila mwanafunzi anatarijiwa kuonyesha nidhamu
ya hali ya juu kwa walimu, wafanyikazi wengine wa shule, viranja na kwa wanafunzi wenzako.
Ni lazima kila mwanafunzi ahakikishe kuwa amezingatia adabu na mbeko katika matumizi ya
lugha, kuzifuata kanuni zote za shule na kujiweka katika hali nadhifu.
Yamkini wengi mmeyazoea maisha ya nyumbani, laini hivi sasa mtalazimika kukaa mbali na ndugu,
rafiki na aila zenu. Hali hii mpya haipaswi kuwa sababu ya kuwatosa katika biwi la simanzi.
Badala ya kuhuzunika, mnapaswa kufurahia kuipata fursa na abra hii ya kujipatia marafiki wapya
wa rika lenu. Aidha, hii ni nafasi nzuri ya kukumbana na hali nyingine ya maisha ambayo
itawawezesha kuupanua ufahamu pamoja na uzoefu wenu wa kimaisha. Marafiki utakaokutana
nao hapa wanatoka sehemu mbalimbali za nchi yetu na kwa kushirikiana nao na kufanya usuhuba
nao utajenga nguzo imara ya ushirikiano katika miaka ya usoni. Huu ni msingi muhimu wa
ushirikiano katika kiwango cha taifa, na kiini cha utangamano mkubwa wa utaifa. Hata hivyo, sio
marafiki wote ambao ni wazuri kwa sababu hakuna mchele ukosao ndume. Lazima muwe na
uangalifu katika kuwachagua marafiki zenu. Ukishirikiana na rafiki mbaya lazima atakuathiri.
Nadhani sote tunajua kuwa mcheza na tope humruka.
Ikiwa utakumbana na matatizo yoyote usisite kumwuliza mwelekezi wako. Aidha, ni muhimu
kuwauliza wanafunzi wengine ambao wana tajiriba ya mambo haya hapa shuleni au hata walimu
wenu. Usilifutike jambo linalokusumbua au kukukalifu moyoni kwa sababu mwishowe litakuletea
madhara makubwa. Ni muhimu kukumbuka niliyotangulia kusema kuwa, nia yetu siyo kuwaandaa
wanafunzi wanaomudu masomo pekee, bali kuwakuza watu waliokamilika kiakili na kiutu. Hali
hii haiwezi kufikiwa ikiwa kila mmoja atajitenga kivyake. Sote tunaelewa umuhimu wa methali
isemayo umoja ni nguvu, utengano ni udhaifu.
Ningependa kumalizia kwa kutoa mfano mfano huu. Mimi binafsi huiona shule kama kuku
anayeatamia mayai. Akiyaatamia vizuri na katika mazingira mema, yale mayai yatatoatoa
vifaranga wengi na wenye mayumaini. Vifaranga hawa nao wataindeleza jamii ya kesho. Lazima
sote tushirikiane kuhakikisha kuwa hakuna mayai viza katika shule hii yetu.
Katika kipindi kijacho cha siku tatu, mtapata fursa ya kujulishwa sehemu mbalimbali za shule yetu
na kuwajua walimu wenu. Ni matumaini yangu kuwa baada ya kipindi hicho, kila mmoja wenu
atakuwa tayari kuyaanza masomo yake kwa msukumo mpya na bidi kubwa. Kwa miaka mine
ijayo tutakutana mara nyingi na kuzungumza mengi. Kwa mara nyingine nawapongeza kwa
matokeo bora katika mtihani wenu wa darasa la nane. La kuwakumbusha tu ni kuwa ukilima
pantosha, utavuna pankwisha.
Sasa mnaweza kurejea madarasani mwenu kuwasubiri walimu ambao watawapa maelekezo na
maagizo zaidi. Asanteni.’
