2. READING COMPREHENSION (20mks)


Read the passage below and then answer the questions that follow.
Happiness arises largely from the mental qualities of contentment, confidence, serenity and
active good-will. It includes the pain of losing as well as the pleasure of finding. It thrives best in a
crowded life. The men and women who are recorded in history and biography as the most happy
were with always somewhat to do than they could possibly do. Every waking hour of their lives was
occupied with ambitious projects, literature, love, politics, science, friendship, commerce,
professions, trades, their religious faith, and a thousand other matters. The secret of happiness may
be found by making each of these interests count to its utmost as part of the fabric of life.
We need to avoid the extremes of sluggish placidity and feverish activity. we are not going
to be satisfied with felicity which resembles that of a stone, unfeeling and unmoving, but will look
back from future ears with sorrow and regret if we run to and fro, giving it what Socrates called ‘the
itch’.
Happiness obviously includes two sorts of behavior: active and passive. We may say the active
consists in searching and sharing, while the passive part is made up security and possession. Neither
part is complete in itself, nor does neither yield full satisfaction if it is over-emphasized. Philosophers
from the ancient Greeks to present day have been extolling a balanced life as the happiest life, and
many unhappy people can, when they face the issue, trace their discontent to imbalance.
The recipe for happiness cannot be given in any single word, because its many virtues have
to be combined in their proper quantities, at the proper times for proper purposes.

It is legitimate to seek happiness. We cannot help observing that while followers of some
schools of thought are telling us to avoid seeking happiness; they intimate that if we do so we shall
be happy.

The search requires a plan. We need to know what sort of happiness we seek, what the ingredients
are, what our strongest wants are, and what we have to start with. We should train ourselves to keep
the programme simple, and free from complications and side trips, to pay attention to little things to
deflate quickly after being praised and to bounce back quickly after disappointment, to seize to create
opportunities to put our special abilities to work, to seek excellence in everything we do, to remain
modest and to review and revise periodically.
Most of us do not really have to seek far and wide. Happiness grows at our fireside, if we cultivate
it.

4. ORAL POETRY (10MKS)
Read the song below and answer the questions that follow.
A Sudden Storm
The wind howls, the trees sway,
The loose house-top sheets clatter and clang,
The open window shuts with a bang,
And the sky makes night of the day.

Helter-skelter the parents run,


Pressed with a thousand minor cares:
‘Hey, you there! Pack the house-wares!
And where on earth’s my son?’

Home skip the little children:


‘Where have you been, you naughty boy?’-
The child can feel nothing but joy,
For he loves the approach of the rain.

The streets clear, the houses fill,


The noise gathers as children shout
To rival the raging wind without,
And naught that can move is still-

A bright flash! A lighted plain;


Then, from the once-black heavens,
Accompanied by noise that deafens,
Steadily pours the rain.
Pious Oleghe

UFAHAMU (AL 15)

Soma makala yafuatayo kisha ujibu maswali yanayofuata.

ULEVI

Ilikuwa Jumamosi ya mwisho wa mwezi, wakati wa magharibi, nikiwa kwenye tembea zangu za kupunga hewa.
Nikaona kilee, kijitu si kijitu, mtu. Kinakuja kwa kinyume huku na huku kama kwamba kikiendeshwa na upepo.

Kukaribiana nacho, nikaweza kukiona vizuri zaidi. Kilikuwa kirefu, lakini kilichokonda na kukondeana mithili ya
kiuno cha nyigu. Shati kiliyovaa ilionekana kama kwamba imetundikwa tu kijitini. Kukikazia macho, nilitambua.
Maskini! Mwili wake ulidhoofika na kuwa kitu kama vile mfuko tu wa mifupa. Kufumba na kufumbua, kilianguka
bwup! Chini. Nikajikuta nikitikisa kichwa.
“Vipi mlachake bwana we?’’ Nikamtupia, huku nikijaribu nikitikisa kichwa.
“Vi-vi-vipi ni-nini?’ akanirudia.
“Umerudia he ?’’
“La-lakini kwa pe-pesa zangu, si-si-siyo kwa-kwa-kwa kudoea.’’
“Daktari alikushauri vipi ?’’
“A-acha-ch-chana na yeye hu-huyo. Ati nina-naji-jipunguzia maisha. Kwa ni-ni-nani ha-hata-ta-kufa?’’

Kuzidi kumnyanyua ili nimwinue kutoka chini, akanitazama kwa macho yake malegevu na kuniuliza,
“Ha-hata wewe pi auna-na- nataka kuniibia ?’’
“Nani amekuibia?’’ nikamwuliza kwa mshangao. Kimya. Aliweza kuinuka na kubaki akiyumbayumba mfano wa
mcheza rumba. Kisha yakamtoka matusi mfululizo.
“Mlachake!’’ Ikanitoka sauti ya mshangao baada ya kushuhudia yale niliyoyatia machoni.

“Ni aibu gani hii ya kujitapikia ovyo?’’


“Ni me-jiji-jitapikia ni-ndiyo. Sikumta-tapikia mtu.’’
“Sikiza Mlachake bwana.’’
“Ndio-ndiyo bwana m-mkubwa,’’ akasema na kunipigia saluti . Kisha, kwa mara nyingine tena, huyoo akasalimu
amri.
“Mlachake ! Pesa, ulizifanyia, kazi mwezi mzima ili zije kukutesa namna hii he ?’’
“Ndi-ndiyo. Cha m-m-mgema hu-uliwa na mle-levi si-si ndiyo ?’’

Kwa mara nyingine tena, nilijikuta natikisa kichwa. Papo hapo, akili ikanipa kuwa nimsaidie kwa kumfikisha
nyumbani kwake.
Kufika mlangoni tu, alipaaza sauti akisema, “Fungua !’’ ilhali mlango ulikuwa umekomewa kutoka nje. Kisha dwa !
Akaupiga teke, halafu “Huuwi !’’ akatisha. Akuchutama na kubwagizika chini mfano wa gunia tupu. Nikatikisa
kichwa na kujiendea zangu.
