Read the passage below and answer questions 1 to 4.
Martin burped loudly at the table. Father chuckled. Grandma shook her head disapprovingly. “Martin!”
His mother growled, eyeing her husband grumpily as well. She had quite had enough of this
behavior, and decided to finally fix it. He burped again and then he wiped his mouth on the table cloth.
“Man I am so charming!” He chuckled.
“Martin unless you want to do the laundry and you want to start eating out of a dog’s bowl, I
suggest you find some manners.” “Like what? Martin groaned, leaning on the table with both elbows.
“Elbows off the table.” Martin lifted his elbows and fidgeted with his napkin. “The napkin goes on your
lap,” mother ordered, “and no eating with your fingers.”
Martin sighed and peeking out the corners of his eyes at his mom, he grabbed his spoon and
started shoveling food into his mouth with his face about two inches off the plate. Speed eating was
fun. He liked to see how much he could get into his mouth at once.
“Whoa there! I had no idea this was a feeding trough,” mother laughed. Try using a fork, sitting
up and closing your mouth when you chew. If you can’t get the fork to your mouth without spilling the
food on your lap, you are overloading it.”
“Then it takes forever to eat, and I want to go and watch TV.” Martin whined. “You will eat properly,
and you will stay and have a discussion with us until we are all done with our meals. This is
not a drive-through. Eat slowly and neatly, and then help me wash the dishes.”
“But...” Martin began to protest.
“Dog bowl?” Mother offered.
“No, thank you.” Martin said softly, which made grandma smile. Mother smiled when Martin
lifted a carefully -loaded fork of food to his mouth closed. “Excellent. You might still make someone a
good husband.” Father cleared his throat and ate neatly, too. He didn’t get a complement though.

near that Mango tree was pleased to hear him singing or for his imitation.
During the dry season the parrot on this particular day woke up feeling very thirsty. He flew around
in that area in search of water but unfortunately, he could not find water anywhere. He was so thirsty that
he could not live any longer without water. As he flew for a long time to get water, he was so tired so he

Read the passage below and answer questions 10 to 15.

One day my mother whipped me for not taking my chores seriously. I did not clean the house
properly and when she returned from the market, where she had gone to sell grocery, she could not
spare me. After that, I sadly retreated to my bed and soon l was deeply asleep.
I then ran away into a very deep wilderness home far away from my parents. It was so peaceful and
tranquil. For once my mother would not be there with her do’s and don’ts. My life would have no sadness
of any kind or so I thought.
Things however changed one afternoon when strong winds accompanied by lightning struck the
ground several times. All the living things I had lived with for months retreated to their respective
abodes. Rodents were the first to leave for their holes. Birds complained that their homes were being
shaken and flew away to different homes elsewhere. I was left alone and the worst happened. The final
lightning struck my home setting it ablaze

6. Read the passage and then answer questions 6 to 9.

It is common practices to see a person pick a book and start reading anyhow
without organisation. Such reading cannot be of benefit to the readers.
Reading is an advanced art that requires early preparation before one can
 claim to be reading. Without prior planning, reading will be boring and
confusing adding no real value to the reader. This is contrary to the
requirements of reading. Any reading should help the reader comprehend and
recall what he or she is reading. For this reason, reading ought to be given the
attention it deserves.

Before reading, the reader needs to ensure that there is adequate light. Let the
light should be friendly to the eyes. Secondly, the place should be quiet and
comfortable. For instance, a place with numerous movements is not the best. The
reader will be forced to keep turning to see whoever is passing. In this way, the
flow of information into the brain will be disrupted. Anytime you read, all your
attention should be focused on what you are reading.

Which type of reading cannot be of benefit to the reader?

A.The one involving proper plans before starting

B. Reading without any organisation
C. Reading for the sake of buying time
D.Reading that is well organised

7. One of the requirements of reading is that

A.reading should add value to the reader

B. books must be handled carefully when reading

for a good reading?

C. Places without numerous books
D.Places with little or no movements

A.the content they are absorbing from the books

B. the amount of light in the reading area
C. poor prior preparation before starting to read
 D.the movement of people around him or her

10.Read the passage and then answer questions 10 to 12.

As we approached it, I looked over my shoulder and what I saw really

frightened me. The western sky was almost black and the storm had raised a
huge wave which seemed like a moving mountain. As the wave inclined
towards us, it looked like an enormous snake with its head in the sky. The
bottom of our boat touched the sand and both of us disembarked and
pulled it closer to the shore.

"We'll stay here, Omari, until the storm subsides," my uncle shouted. We ran up
the beach and found a small cave beside the rocks. We threw ourselves inside
and lay on the ground. Neither of us was able to stay much because we were
exhausted. There was complete darkness all over the island and the wind was
blowing so strongly that we could hear brunches breaking.

13.Read the passage and then answer questions 13 to 15.

Humans are social creatures and they can't live without one another. The
proverb says that no man is an island. We need other people to share our joys or
 to share our moments of sorrow. It is therefore important to know how best we
can treat people who are around us, be they family, friends or neighbours.
Relating with people needs high standards of courtesy and respect. Have you
ever been around someone who doesn't value your presence or help? Such
people say things that make you feel unwanted or unvalued. I'm sure you won't
make yourself available next time they need you.

The more you use polite words, the stronger the relationship will become. You

have nothing to lose by saying sorry when you accidentally wrong someone.

Saying thank you shows that you appreciate what other people do for you.

depend on one another
