The land was ready and ploughed, waiting for the crops. At night, the earth was alive with insects singing and rustling about in search of food. But suddenly, by mid-November, the rain fled away; the rain-clouds fled away and left the sky bare. The sun danced dizzily in the sky, with a strange cruelty.

Question 23 32

Read the following interview with a few teenagers on the other causes of stress among teenagers. Then, complete the following tasks.

Tan Ling Ling , Student, SM Sg. Muda Yes, I suffer from stress, The problem is caused by teachers who put us under a lot of pressure. First, there is a lot of homework given every day by nearly every teacher who enters the classroom. In addition to that, we are loaded with project work for nearly every subject. All these have to be handed in by certain deadlines. Almost all week we stay back after school to participate in games and other extracurricular activities which are compulsory. Then there is home tuition to attend. We have hardly any time at all to relax and enjoy ourselves.

Mansor, 17, School leaver Peer pressure is yet another factor that is responsible for stress among teenagers. Teenagers are extremely sensitive and crave to belong to a group. Quite often, they like to dress like their friends, speak a cool language and exhibit group behaviour which is quite harmless. Sometimes, however, teenagers feel forced to smoke, drink, take drugs because they do not want to feel left out by their group that indulges in such activities. Thus, peers can extent pressure, confuse the teenager and make them behave in an unacceptable manner.

Mary James, 17, College student I think teenagers stress themselves out by being materialistic. They want to possess high quality, branded goods like their rich friends. Sometimes parents cannot afford to buy designer clothes and other expensive items for their teenage children. When these teenagers cannot keep up with their friends standards, they become disappointed and frustrated.

Subhashini, 15, Form 111 student We know that the ideas, values and lifestyles of our parents are different from ours. My opinion is that this generation gap between parents and children, especially teenagers can cause many stressful situations. Life would be easy if both parties accept, understand and respect these differences. However, as I see it very often the parents criticize their childrens taste in music, dressing and style. This gives rise to misunderstanding and tension.

32. How did Mansor describe teenagers ? (1 mark) SECTION C Read the passage below and answer the questions that follow.

If someone were to ask me to name Gods best gift to man, I would readily say it is that of speech. I arrived at this conclusion rather unexpectedly, not after months of dogged research but after a seven-day period of utter silence. Consumption of the wrong food, overwork and too many hours staring at the computer to meet deadlines all contributed to the no-voice malady. The first to notice my condition were those closest to 5 me. I could no longer bother to nag them into submission. In the event that I wanted to voice my displeasure over something that was done not quite the way it should have been, they would innocently wave their hands and say, We cannot hear you! Next, and with great agony, I was made to understand the meaning of frustration. I couldnt speak so I couldnt express what I meant and this led to a number of exasperating 10 situations. The char koay teow man thought I was dumb as in stupid when I could not answer his questions. The lychee seller cheated me by mixing bad lychees with the bad ones as I couldnt argue. My lovesick dog ran out of the gate because I couldnt call out to it. My voice is crucial to my job and desperate situations call for desperate measures. 15 Although, not one for traditional medicine, I had no choice but to run to the Chinese herbalist for his reputed cure for hoarse throats after everything else had failed. I saw him write a long list of ingredients. Not understanding a word he wrote, I imagined my condition must be terribly serious to warrant the huge amount of dried leaves, bark, cicadas, fuzzy bees and other creepy crawlies dispensed. Seeing the horror on my face, 20 the herbalist triumphantly wrapped the foul stuff in brown paper. He warned me that I would stand to lose my voice altogether if I failed to take all that he had prescribed. Hurrying home, I immediately inspected the brown packages. If I had heard correctly, the herbalist told me to add four bowls of water to what he had given me and to boil it till one bowl of fluid was left. I searched the kitchen cabinet and was faced with a 25 new problem. Which type of bowl did he mean? There were Chinese porcelain bowls with pictures of ruddy-cheeked children playing ping-pong, Japanese rice bowls for nights when we decided to go Japanese, plastic bowls for picnics and lastly, good, old, sturdy melamine bowls. All the bowls on the shelf seemed to scream, Choose me, choose me. Finally, I 30 thought that since he was a Chinese herbalist, he probably must have meant a Chinese porcelain bowl. I boiled the foul-smelling concoction day and night. The whole house stank. The children, however, had a wonderful time inspecting the creepy crawlies. They looked really fascinating, all dried up with their innards removed, their feet curled up like

looked really fascinating, all dried up with their innards removed, their feet curled up like curly fries. With religious fervour, I drank the potion at the recommended hours. Such 35 was my unquestioning obedience that the last strands of rationalism and scientific logic were dispelled. 6 With a heavy heart, I awaited the return of my voice. The first thing I did when I woke up each day was to believe that I could say hello to myself out loud again. Sadly I could only manage a croak. Believe me, I felt like a toad! Then as if by an assimilation of images, the toad reminded me of the anguish I had felt sometime back. I was a ware then that I lacked grace and tolerance and had a temper that was, at most times, short. My last birthday wish was to appreciate others more and my wish was granted in my days of silence. My condition made me more appreciative of others. I also became more graceful. How I appreciated the one who awoke in the night to give me warm water to ease my congested lungs. How I appreciate the little hands that thumped my back to help clear my airway of phlegm. Most of all, I learnt the meaning of grace: the grace not to reply in anger, the grace not to criticise when expectations are not met, the grace to know that without a voice, I am as imperfect as anyone else.

Question 49 Read the extract from the short story The Necklace by Guy De Maupassant below and answer the question that follows, basing your answer on your knowledge of the whole story.

When she sat down to dinner, before the round table covered with a tablecloth in use three days, opposite her husband, who uncovered the soup tureen and declared with a delighted air, Ah, the good soup! I dont know anything better than that. She thought of dainty dinners, of shinning silverware, of tapestry that peopled the wall with ancient personages with strange birds flying in the midst of a fairy forest; and she thought of delicious dishes served on marvelous plates and of the whispered gallantries to which you listen with a sphinx-like smile while you are eating the wings of a quail.

The extract above provides some information pertaining to the interest of Mathilde and her husband. Describe briefly the differences between Mathilde and her husband in The Necklace.
