ENGLISH PAPER 2 – FORM 3

I. Read the passage below and answer the questions that follow:-
THE DETOX DEBATE
Detox kits and supplements are recent health feds. But can they really help you lose weight fast?
Online weight loss coach Adrew Cate investigates.
We’ve heard a lot about the need to detox lately. It is the term used to describe a strict
program of elimination and supplementation that’s meant to rid your body of impurities, cleaning
your liver and kidneys, and flushing your bowel. It’s suggested that toxins build up from
consuming too much fat, sugar, alcohol, caffeine, preservatives, and pollution.
There’s no shortage of detox books, kits, and programs claiming to help you shed weight, improve
your well being, cause your skin to radiate, and make you feel younger. The kits usually contain a
dietary program, which is supplemented with a variety of vitamins, minerals, tonics, digestive aids,
and laxatives. They are particularly popular in January as people feel the urge to begin the New
Year afresh after overindulging during the festive season.
People will make drastic changes when they go on a detox diet and often feel better for
starting a structured regime. However, detox kits made up of herbal laxatives and diuretics are
unnecessary and have generally to have no blood of fats, alcohol, and other nasties – all without
the help of a fancy box from your local pharmacy. There is no scientific evidence to support
specific detox diets, programs, or supplement kits. However, there’s no debate about the fact that
eating less junk food, cutting out cigarettes and your alcohol intake, etc will benefit your health.
For example, drinking more water and cutting out caffeine will improve your hydration levels,
while reducing your portion sizes and increasing your vegetable intake will improve bowel
function. These changes will enhance your well-being, but there’s nothing magical about the detox
P a g e 94 | 200
diet itself. Rather, it’s the associated lifestyle changes that benefit your health.
Detox kits that contain laxatives and diuretics to encourage you to fast could, potentially,
do more harm than good. Laxatives speed up your bowel motions, but also prevent the absorption
of nutrients, while diuretics can result to partial dehydration.
The fasting components of a detox should only be minimal, and not extend beyond a day
or two. By eating next to nothing, you are not getting enough nutrients for the essential functions
of your body. Supplements are no substitute for real food, and relying solely on them can result in
vitamin deficiencies. Fasting is also known to slow down your metabolic rate, which encourages
your body to store fat, making it harder to lose body fat in the future.
If you’ve spent weeks, months or years overindulging drinking and smoking you can’t hope
to fix yourself in a few days. Detox diets aren’t an instant cure to health and wellness. Short-term
changes to your diet and lifestyle over the long term, there’s no point starting them, as they won’t
have any serious impact upon your health.

Read the story below and then answer the questions that follow;
KAHURU THE CROW
One day Wamabuku, the rabbit decided to give a party. He invited all the other animals that had
invited him before to similar parties. For the party Wamabuku had slaughtered many fat goats and
cows. On the day of the party, Wamabuku got all his servants to decorate his house for the fiesta.
All the animals arrived in rapid succession – Wamuthige the hyena and his family, Wamacege the
porcupine, Kahuru the crow and may others.
The animals ate the meat to their satisfaction. After the meal they began to dance. In the
evening, the party was over and animals prepared to leave. Wamuthige the hyena and his family
being greedy animals decided to get more meat from Wamabuku was surprised at their greed and
decided to teach them a lesson. Wamabuku told the hyena that only the “undesirable” fat meat was
remaining. Since hyena love fat meat their mouths became moist with saliva.
Wamabuku then sent his servants to the garden to collect all his young thriving gourds.
The gourds were split into halves. The succulent white inside called “mego” was removed. Since
it is exceedingly bitter so liquid fat was poured over the ‘mego’. The hyenas were shown the
melting mego. At the sight, the hyenas became panicky.
Wamuthige, after some thinking, called “Kahuru,” he said, please get a thread and needle.
Then come and knit out outlets tight so that when we have eaten all this melting meat, we shall not
water any. It is so sweet and we can’t afford to have delicacies waster.”
Kahuru, being a kind-hearted family, went to fetch a needle and thread. Meanwhile the
hyenas ate nearly all the mego. When Kahuru returned with the needle and thread he was asked to
start his operation on the hyenas.
The mego in the hyenas stomachs had intermingled with the meat and other food. All the
hyenas were suffering from flatulence. When Kahuru started, the hyenas started to get stouter and
stouter due to the air in their stomachs. The hyenas brought their hindquarters as near to Wakahuru
as possible so that Wakahuru did not miss any.
When the hyenas were so swollen up that they could swell not more all their back openings
P a g e 96 | 200
burst with pressure. All the stuff from inside the hyenas liquid and solid, was deposited on him.
So much was put there, that he lay covered all over and helpless. The hyenas left without helping
Kahuru from his disgrace. Kahuru did not know what had happened and anyway, he was not to
blame.
That night, the rain fell in abundance and drenched the countryside. Kahuru was cleaned.
He flew to the nearest tree and perched there. In the morning he found he could see and flew to his
home.
A few weeks later Kahuru decided to give a feast especially for the hyenas. He notified
Wamuthige, who collected all the hyenas. The party was to be in Kahuru’s home. Kahuru was to
carry all the hyenas up, since hyenas don’t fly. Kahuru chose a spot where the hyenas could
assemble, and told them to hold each other by the tail. Then Kahuru would take Wamuthige who
would be in the front. Thus all the other hyenas would be pulled behind in along string.
While they were waiting, the hyenas hanced, singing.
We are going up high to eat fat, fat meat,
And we we say ‘fat’
We mean meat purely white
When Kahuru arrived and picked up the first hyena all others followed still singing happily.
When they had flown up many miles, Kahuru shouted at the last hyena, “Can you still see the
ground?” “Yes,” was the reply. They flew on, still singing until they could see the ground no
longer.
Then Kahuru told the hyenas to stop singing and make ready for “white” meat. Then all of
a sudden, he let Wamuthige go, and through the air the hyenas dropped. The fall was a great one.
Kahuru flew down, and from a safe distance, jeered teasingly at the groaning, fractured cripples.
Then he flew happily back to his home.

Soma makala yafuatayo kasha ujibu maswali
Huku ulimwengu unapoingia katika teknologia ya tarakilishi na sera ya
utandaridhi, ukweli wa mambo ni kuwa akina mama wamezinduka. Suala la usawa
wa kijinsia limeanza kushamiri kote duniani na ole wake mwanamume yeyote
ambaye hajawa tayari kutembea na majira. Lakini hebu tuchunguze jambo hili kwa
makini zaidi.
Usawa wa jinsia ni nini? Usawa wa kijinsia ni usawa wa binadamu wote; wawe
wake au waume. Usawa huu unapaswa kudhihirika katika kugawa nafasi za kazi,
utoaji wa elimu, nafasi za uongozi na nyanja nyinginezo zozote za maisha.
Ubaguzi wa aina yoyote ile hasa dhidi ya mwanamke ni jambo linalokabiliwa
na vita vikali sana ulimwenguni kote.
Dahari na dahari, hasa katika jamii za kiafrika, kumekuwa na imani
isiyotingisika kuwa mwanamke ni kiumbe duni akilinganishwa na mwanaume. Kwa
hivyo mwanamke amekuwa akifanyiwa kila aina ya dhuluma ikiwepo kupigwa,
kutukanwa, kudharauliwa, kunyimwa haki zake, kunyimwa heshima na mambo
kama hayo. Lakini je, ni kweli kuwa mwanamke ni kiumbe duni asiyefaa kutendewa
haki?
Tukichunguza jamii kwa makini tunaweza kuona mara moja kuwa hivyo ni
imani potofu isiyo na mashiko yoyote. Ukiimulika familia yoyote ile iliyopiga hatua
kimaendeleo, uwezekano mkubwa ni kuwa mume na mke wa familia inayohusika
wana ushirikiano mkubwa. Mume anamthamini mke wake na hadiriki kufanya
maamuzi muhimu yanayoweza kuathiri maendeleo ya familia bila kumhusisha mke.
Mume kama huyo huketi na mkewe, wakishauriana na kufikia uamuzi bora.
Tukitoka katika muktadha wa kifamilia na kumulika ulimwengu wa kazi iwe
ni katika afisi za kiserikali au kwenye makampuni binafsi, ukweli ni kwamba
kiongozi yeyote yule aliyefaulu katika usimamizi wake mara nyingi huwa na mke
nyumbani ambaye wanashauriana kila uchao kuhusu kazi anayofanya hata kama
P a g e 118 | 200
mke hafanyi kazi mahali pale. Hisia na mawaidha anayotoa mke kwa mume wake ni
tunu na huenda asiyapate kwingineko kokote hata katika vitabu vya kupigiwa
mifano. Hii ni mojawapo ya sababu ambayo huwafanya viongozi wa nchi mbalimbali
kupenda sana kuwatambulisha wake na familia zao waziwazi kwa vile wanajua
kuwa jamii inathamini sana msingi wa jamii. Kiongozi ambaye hana mke au familia
au yule ambaye mke wake hatambuliki, hutiwa mashaka na jamii hata kama ni
kiongozi aliye na azma ya kushikilia kazi ngumu ya kuongoza umma.
Tukirudi nyuma kidogo na kupiga darubini mataifa ya mbali, tunaweza
kuwaona wanawake mashuhuri walio uongozini ambao hadi waleo unapigiwa mfano.
Wanawake mashuhuri waliotoa uongozini ambao hadi waleo unapigiwa mfano.
Wanawake hao walisimamia mojawapo ya mataifa yenye uwezo na ushawishi
mkubwa zaidi duniani. Ingawa wengi wao sasa wameng’atuka, uongozi wao bado
unakumbukwa hata baada ya miaka mingi ya wao kuamua kupumzika, Mifano ni
kama: Bi Margaret Thatcher aliyekuwa waziri mkuu wa Uingereza, Bi Bandranaike
wa Sri Lanka, Golda Meir wa Israel na wengine wengi katika mataifa kama
Indonesia, Ufilipino, Bangladesh, Pakistani na kwingineko.
Katika kufikia tamati, tunapozungumza kuhusu jinsia, hatuna budi kugusia
kitafsili masuala nyeti. Kwanza, imani ya kushikilia kikiki tamaduni zisizofaa, ni
jambo linalofaa kuchunguzwa kw makini. Kwa mfano, kuna badhi ya jamii ambazo
humlazimu mke kurithiwa baada ya kifo cha mumewe. Vile vile baadhi ya jamii za
kiafrika zinashikilia kuwa mwanamke hana haki ya kurithi. Kutokana na imani
hii, wanawake wengi huishi maisha ya taabu baada ya kutengana na waume zao kwa
vile hawana haki ya kurithi chochote kutoka kwa wazazi wao hata kama wazazi hao
wana mali nyingi kupindikukia. Mali ya wazazi ni haki ya watoto wa kiume wala si
watoto wa kike! Hili ni jambo la kusikitisha mno.
Isitoshe, wanawake hukumbwa na kizingiti kingine wanapojaribu kumiliki
mali ya waume zao baada ya waume hao kukata kamba. Sababu ni kuwa, baada
ya hao wenda zao kuwekwa kaburini, vita vya umiliki wa mali huanza mara moja na
mwishowe yule mke maskini hujikuta hana hata mahali pa kulala sembuse mali
P a g e 119 | 200
waliyochuma na mali yake yote kunyakuliwa na aila ya mumewe . Jambo hili
linaonyesha namna tulivyoachwa nyuma na uhalisia wa mambo. Ni lazima jamii
izinduke na itoke kwenye kiza hiki chenye maki nzito.

MUKHTASARI (Alama 15)
Soma taarifa ifuatayo kasha ujibu maswali yatakayofuata.
Binadamu hupenda kujivika vilemba vingi mno.Tunapenda kuheshimiwa na
kutukuzwa na kila mtu. Tunapenda kuombwa ushauri na wote ambao wanahitaji
ushauri! Tunapenda kutambuliwa popote tuendapo.
Watu wengi hukataa kufanya jambo la halali kwa kuhofia kuitwa wajinga.
Mfano mzuri ni pale ambapo mtu amekosea kidogo katika kutenda jambo; utaona
kuwa mtu huyo anaona ugumu wa kuomba radhi au samahani ati kwa sababu
ataonekana mjinga.
Je, ni mara ngapi mkurugenzi ameita mkutano na katika barua yake akatisha
kuwaadhibu watakaochelewa na mwishowe ni yeye mwenyewe anayechelewa? Tena
huwa haombi msamaha. Ataulaumu usingizi uliomchukua, au gari lililomleta.
Aghalabu tunapowakuza watoto wetu, tunawafunza maadili mema.
P a g e 121 | 200
Tunawahimiza wale wadogo kwamba ni vizuri kuomba radhi kwa wakubwa wako
unapowakosea. Lakini kumbuka kwamba kukosea ni kwa binadamu wote. Mtu
anaweza kukukosea kwa makusudi au kwa bahati mbaya. Kwa hivyo tunapaswa
kufahamu kwamba, tunapofanya makosa ni lazima tuombe msamaha, iwe ni kwa
wakubwa au kwa wadogo, ili kuondoa kero.
Waja wengi huogopa kusimama mbele za watu na kuwasilisha au kutenda
jambo fulani. Kisa na maana, mtu hataki kutenda jambo fulani halafu akosee.
Hajiamini na anaogopa kuwa huenda watu wakaona kasoro yake. Lakini kumbuka,
kukosa njia ndiko kuijua.
Huenda ikawa watu wanajadili maswala ibuka kama vile ufisadi, kuavya
mimba, matumizi ya dawa za kulevya, ukimwi, uzuiaji wa kizazi na kadhalika...
labda huyaungi mkono maoni ya watu wengine kwa sababu ya imani na maadili
yako. Hata hivyo, hutaki kusimama ukatoa msimamo wako mbele za watu ingawa
dhamiri yako imekwazika. Baadaye utasikika ukiwalaumu watu wengine ilhali
ulikataa kusimama na kutetea msimamo wako.
Wengi wetu hujichukua kuwa watu muhimu sana. Wanaona kuwa sherehe au
mkutano wowote hauwezi kufaulu ikiwa wao hawako. Wanapokuwa kwenye hiyo
mikutano wao hutaka watambuliwe. Hupenda majina yao yatajwe. Haya
huwaridhisha , lakini swali ni je, kuwepo kwao ni muhimu kiasi hicho? Kumbuka
kwamba mkutano ungeendelea vizuri bila kuwepo kwao. Kwa hivyo, tusiwe watu wa
kutaka kutambuliwa kila tunapoenda mahali. Pia, tusilalamike ikiwa
hatukuhusishwa katika jambo fulani.
Unaposhuhudia jambo fulani, kama wizi au ajali, usiwe na woga wa kutoa
usaidizi kwa kutoa ushuhuda. Wengine hata huogopa kutoa usaidizi huo, hata kwa
manusura wa ajali za barabarani, eti kwa sababu wanahofia kuitwa mahakamani
kutoa ushuhuda. Kuna shida gani kuenda kusema yale uliyoyashuhudia bila
kuongeza au kutoa chochote?
