SECTION A (10 Marks)
COMPREHENSION 

One day a young student caught a bus from the centre of Nairobi to Mathare. It was the height of the rush hour, and the bus was tightly packed. As the bus approached the Pangani round about, a middle –aged man standing in the gangway suddenly collapsed.
The passengers started to shout immediately. Hearing this, the driver pulled into the side. As soon as the bus stopped, most of the passengers jumped off and ran away. Only five stayed on the bus.
“Don’t touch him!” Said some one. “He may be suffering from contagious diseases!
“I n that case we may stuck here for hours!” Said another and left
“Or we may be placed in quarantine in hospital for days” Said a third passenger also getting off
The students ignored them. Calmly he knelt down beside the man, and put his ear against the man’s chest.  “He is breathing “He announced, “Are all the windows open? He needs fresh air”
The students loosed the men’s collar and tie, and slowly he began to revive. It was very lucky for the man, that there was someone who knew about first aid. When a person faints, he loses consciousness. A spell may last for several minutes. It is caused by an insufficient supply of oxygen or blood to the brain. Other causes include a sudden drop in blood pressure, fasting anemia, exhaustion and emotional up set. 
Training in first aid can be obtained from the Red Cross society. The first aid measures to be taken when a person faints are;The patient should be stretched out flat with the head lower than rest of the body.’
All tight clothing should be loosened in order to aid breathing. Windows should be opened so that there is plenty of fresh air. Place an ear against the left part of the chest to make sure that the heart is beating. If the heart beat has stopped, the heart should be massaged. If breathing has stopped, artificial respiration (mouth to mouth) should be started.
Measures to be avoided when someone has fainted are: Do not move the patient until he has fully recovered. Do not throw cold water in his face. Do not slap him or burn his feet to revive him. Do not tray to your water or whiskey down his throat while he is unconscious.

ANSWER






b)   Read the following passage and summarize it in 2 clear sentences.
In many developing societies, people tend to undermine one sex group, that is, women. Some
Societies undermine women by not giving them the right of contributing ideas in the society. In
such societies, women are not given equal access to formal education as men. In fact, men are
given the first priority in almost every aspect of life – they are decision makers, rulers and owners
of the means of production.
