SECTION A
COMPREHENSION
1. Read the passage
below carefully and answer the questions that follow.
Most people in this country
live in the country side. However, more and more of us are giving up own lives
in the country to go and live in the city, where it is commonly though life is
better. In my opinion, this view is mistaken.
It is often said that people can earn more money in
the city. However, it is not just money that is important. In the country side
money is not always necessary. If people grow their own food on their own
shamba, with their own house and well, then they will not need to spend as much
money as they do in the town. In the town, however, everything has to be paid
for.
A further point is that life is healthier in the
countryside. The air is cleaner, the water is purer and the food is fresher.
People may say that in the countryside it is harder to find a clinic when you
are sick. Of course, these are many poor people in the countryside with health
problem, but if you can grow your own food and have money to buy a few extra
things, you are less likely to get sick than in the town where the unhygienic
conditions mean that diseases spread very quickly.
Finally, life is a lot safer in the countryside.
People can trust their neighbours not to steal their possessions when they are
away from home and they can walk home at night without fear of being attacked
and robbed. In the city both of these are commonplace. There are also dangerous
temptations for young people in the city such as drugs and gangs. These are
rarely found in the countryside.
To sum up, life in the countryside is better in many
important ways. No doubt the city does have its attractions, it well paid jobs,
smart shops and entertainments, but to my mind these are less important than
the advantages the countryside offers.

2.
Read the following short passage
carefully and the write its summary in thirty (30) Words only.
Among the
traditional African people, a man’s name was precious possession. The names
meaning history and connotations were taken seriously. In same societies, a
name of a person was only second to religion in terms of total spiritual
environment, security, identification and ethnic pride. The concept of name
–pride was so strong that there were several conflicts between individuals
caused by simply referring to a person by a wrong name.
