Read the following passage and then questions 6 – 9.

Drug use is on the rise among the youth today. Young people experiment with both hard drugs
and alcohol. Some claim it gives them a shared experience. Others say drugs help them to calm
down. There are those who are tricked into believing that drugs would help them solve whatever
problems they have. The end result is getting addicted.

Alcoholism for instance, is a chronic disorder in which a person is unable to refrain from
frequent and excessive consumption of alcohol. Excessive drinking damages the liver and leads
to liver cirrhosis. The alcoholic has impaired judgement and disturbed sleep.

The government of Kenya has ensured that there is no sale of alcohol for children under the age
of 18. In Kenya, it is illegal for minors to consume alcohol. According to the Alcoholic Drinks
Control Act 2010, it is an offense for a person to sell, give, or supply alcoholic drinks to a person
under the age of 18. It is also an offense for a person under the age of 18 to purchase, attempt to
purchase, or consume alcoholic drinks.

Surprisingly we still find some rogue businessmen doing the contrary. This menace of drug and
substance use should be fought by everyone. It should not be left to the government alone. We
all need a society that will develop tomorrow. We all need leaders tomorrow. We all need a
generation after us. For us to achieve all that, we must bring up our children in the right way.
They should know that drug and substance use is something to be avoided like the plague.

6. Majority of the youth get into using drugs

A. knowingly by following in the footsteps of their siblings.
B. unconsciously by believing that they have a solution to all their troubles.
C. experimenting with everything they come across.

0724 333 200 / 0795 491 185
 D. by watching the celebrities on television.
7. According to the passage, alcoholism is _____________________
A. a chronic disorder where one is unable to refrain from consuming alcohol in large
amounts.
B. a person who drinks an excessive amount of alcohol.
C. consumption of drugs and alcohol.
D. refraining from taking alcohol.
8. Which one among the following is not an effect of alcohol?
A. Impaired judgement
B. Damages the liver.
C. Relieving stress.
D. Disturbed sleep.
9. It is an offence for a person under the age of 18 to do all the following except?
A. Purchase alcohol.
B. Attempt to purchase alcoholic drinks.
C. Consume alcoholic drinks.
D. Not to purchase alcohol.

Read the passage below and then answer questions 10 – 12.

The lion, the donkey and the zebra were very good friends. They lived together in the forest.
They also hunted together and ate together as well. Whenever the lion went out to hunt, her
children would be well taken care of. The problem was she did not know who between the zebra
and the donkey looked after her cubs. Every time she dared ask; both would respond and say
they did. This confused her even more.

To make matters worse, the lion was unable to identify who the donkey was and who the zebra
was because they looked so much alike. One day, the lion came up with an idea to paint stripes
so that he could tell them apart. He would thereafter hide somewhere in the bush and watch who
actually cared for her cubs. When he did so, all the other donkeys that were in the land felt that
their friend the zebra was more beautiful and decided to also paint stripes on themselves.

The hare who did the job for the lion had an idea; he would charge them more. But before he
decided on that, he talked to the lion. The lion was not only angry with the hare but also with the
donkeys. Eventually the hare charged them double the price and painted them the same way he

0724 333 200 / 0795 491 185
had done to the zebras. To date, the lion cannot know who is the zebra and which one is the
donkey. Their friendship died as well.

10. Why was the lion unable to distinguish between the zebra and the donkey?
A. animals looked beautiful.
B. They both responded whenever the lion asked a question.
C. They looked so much alike.

Read the passage below and then answer questions 13-15.

The benefits of being a true sportsperson are many. A successful sportsperson in school gets an
opportunity to represent their school at different levels. This builds self-esteem and provides
great inspiration to others.

Think of athletes like Eliud Kipchoge, Vivian Cheruiyot, Geoffrey Kamworor to mention just
but a few. Do they not inspire you? I believe they do. They all started by participating in sports
while in school.

Character and personal growth are other important things you can achieve from sports. Being a
true sportsperson requires a great deal of discipline. You mould yourself into becoming the best
at what you do. It creates a sense of worth and pride to be a role model to others. One also grows
financially. The sports industry is one of the most rewarding industries in the world today.
Sportspeople are highly paid, especially when they get to national and international levels.

There is also the benefit of developing teamwork and problem-solving skills. Working to
achieve a common goal in a group teaches group discipline and selflessness. You learn to
effectively communicate and reason out the best way for all, as well as to accommodate the
views of others.

13. What do we learn about successful sportspersons?

A. They win in all competitions they participate in.
B. They are applauded by their schoolmates.
C. they become rich and prosperous.
D. They get a chance to represent their school at various levels.
