Dear Editor,
I wish to express my concern over the attitude of some people who throw rubbish
out of their vehicles while travelling along the highway. These people need to be
educated to be more civic minded. They can always keep the rubbish and dispose
of it into a proper bin. They should play their roles to help preserve the
environment. The rubbish they throw will clog up drains and this is one of the
causes of flash floods. Actions need to be taken against these irresponsible people!
Disappointed Witness

Questions 19 to 26
Read the text care.fitlly and answer the questions. Choose the answer A, B, C or D. For each question,
mark the correct answer A, B, C or D on your answer sheet.

Tammy had everything Sarah wanted: a pool in her backyard, popularity, and new clothes. Worse,
it seemed (at least to Sarah) that Tammy had the Midas touch. Everything she touched turned to
gold. She won the class lucky draw and with it RM50! She guessed how many jelly beans were in
the jar in the yearly guess-how-many contest and won all 768 of them. She won every public
speaking she entered, every art competition and every award the school offered. She had all the luck in
the world.

Sarah was an only child. She wore hand-me-downs from her older cousin Alice. She did not have
many friends. Her best friend Kana was really the best in many ways: kind, generous and loyal, and this
made Sarah really grateful. Just the kind of person you would want for a best friend. However,
Sarah most certainly did not have good luck. She never won anything. On the days, she carried an
umbrella, it never rained; on the days, she forgot her umbrella, dark rain clouds seemed to follow
her around.

One rainy day in June, though, Sarah and Tammy swapped luck. That was how Sarah thought of it,
an)'\vay. It was not expected, and it certainly was not planned. Sarah woke up and things felt different.
It was a weird feeling that she had never experienced before. She felt lucky.

She rolled out of bed and noticed a small package on her desk. She opened it: it was a brand
new dress, the same one she had been eyeing for weeks. "Mom!" she called. "Did you get me this
dress?"

"It's from your grandmother," her mother called back. "Early birthday gift!"

Sarah shrugged. Her birthday was not until August.

"And I made your favourite! Chocolate chip pancakes!" her mother shouted.

"Pancakes on a Wednesday?" This truly was a different kind of day.

And it didn't stop there. On the school bus, Aziz, the most popular boy in school, saved her a
seat. Then Puan Rose picked her - yes, her! - to take care of the class hamster over the weekend.
The cafeteria lady gave her two extra cookies and said with a wink, "Your lucky day!"

But the best part of the day was art class. Mr. Lee, her art teacher, walked around the room
slowly. Sarah had not spent much time on her project. But it was still pretty, still unique. Mr. Lee
walked past Tammy's art project and did not even pause. Tammy looked devastated. Her hair was still

1119/1
wet from that morning's rain. She had forgotten to bring an umbrella.

"Well. class!" Mr. lee snid. ''I think our winner for this month is Sarah! Excellent work, Sarah - this
shows a lot of progress!"

Sarah smiled proudly. "Guess you have some competition," she whispered to Tammy.

Sarah was on top of the world. She did not feel like an ordinary sixteen year old at all. Toda ,
she felt like a better-than-average teenager, possibly the best sixteen-year-old pupil who had ever
existed. She wondered what was next.

Tammy, she noticed, had spent most of the day sulking. "Let someone else have a shot at being
/udy for once". Sarah whispered to Kana with a wicked smile and Tammy saw it. Then she noticed that
Tammy was crying. Small tears dripped down onto her uniform.

"What's wrong?" Sarah asked.

"I just spenta lot of time on that project,'' Tammy said between hiccuppcd sobs.

Sarah was beginning to feel awful. After all, she had not spent much time on her project at all.

Then she felt Kann tap her on the shoulder. "You know, Sarah," Kana started. She looked angry and
hurt at the same time. "You haven't been very nice today. You've been acting like...like you 're the
best person in the world." She shook her head. "This just isn't like you at all."

Now Sarah felt even worse. It was one thing to have the class pet dislike you, but another thing
entirely to disappoint your best friend. ''I'm son-y, Kana," she said. "lt's just been a weird day."

She walked over to Tammy and gave her a hug. "Don't won-y," she whispered, "Your luck will
change soon enough." Luck, Sarah was beginning to think, was overrated.

19 From paragraph 1, what did Tammy have at the beginning of the story?

A All the beauty in the world.


B All the gold in the world.
C All the talent in the world.
D All the luck in the world.
