Being in touch with nature and its beauty can relieve stress in your everyday life. You don’t
have to travel to Europe to go skiing or to the Gold Coast for a time at the beach to relieve
stress, especially if time isn’t on your side. After all, not many can afford to splurge on an
expensive holiday every time they get stressed. Make your home a stress-free haven. Start
gardening today and reap the benefits.

A number of sunken ships have been discovered in the Straits of Malacca. A lot can be learnt
about the history of Malaysia from these sunken vessels when they are eventually examined
by experts. However, there is always the danger that before the experts are able to examine
the contents of these wrecks, groups of individuals will get to them first to see if they hold any
treasure. These individuals salvage just a few items from the wrecks because they do not
have the necessary tools to remove large quantities from under the sea.

7 Why do the non-experts take only a limited number of things from the sunken ships?
A They are not interested to learn from all the treasures.
B They wish to focus on the most valuable goods only.
C They do not have the right type of equipment.
D They want to examine the other items.

Earthquakes are natural disasters that can happen any time. Here are a few things one can
do when there is an earthquake.
If you are indoors 9_ an earthquake, it is very important to stay calm. Drop down on
the ground and take 10 under a heavy object like a bed or heavy table. Hold onto the legs
of the table so that you will not come out of its shelter. Being under a heavy object will
protect you from 11 things.
If you are outdoors during an earthquake, stay far away from buildings. The buildings
may crack and collapse at any time. 12 you see any glass windows or doors, stay away
from them. Glass may break and cut you badly. Next, if you are in a crowded area, do not
__13 _ for the nearest exit. Everyone will be doing just that, and 14 will lead to even
more injuries. Be calm and take cover under something heavy. Be prepared for aftershocks
after the initial earthquake _ 15_ ended. Aftershocks are follow-up earthquakes. They are
smaller than the first one, but they are still very dangerous.

Questions 16 – 25

Read the following information and answer the questions that follow.

Sea Turtles
Sea turtles have been on Earth for more than 100 million years. But
now they are on the brink of extinction.
Sea turtles are found in all the world’s oceans except the Arctic
Ocean. Although tortoises and turtles belong to the same group of reptiles,
there are some differences between them. Unlike tortoises, sea turtles have
flippers instead of legs. Besides, they are clawless and cannot withdraw
their heads into their shells.
The diet of the turtle varies according to the species. Green turtles
have jaws adapted for a vegetarian diet and they love sea grasses.
Hawksbills have narrow heads and are able to get their favourite food,
sponges, from the gaps in the coral reefs. Leatherbacks which have delicate
jaws prefer jellyfish. Sea turtles take in only seawater all their lives.
Sea turtles spend their entire lives at sea, except when the females
come ashore to lay eggs. The adult females often migrate long distances to
return to the same nesting beach each year. After laying the eggs, the turtle
covers the nest with sand before returning to the sea. After hatching, the
young turtles take three to seven days to dig their way to the surface.
Sea turtles face many threats and problems. Humans still hunt sea
turtles for their meat, shell and eggs. Another major threat to sea turtles is
the destruction of their habitat which has resulted in the disturbance of
nesting areas. Improper fishing techniques have caused many sea turtles to
get caught in fishing nets and drown. The polluted sea is another threat for
sea turtles. Leatherbacks, for example, often mistake floating plastic bags
for jellyfish and they get choked to death.

Section C

Questions 26 – 31 are based on the following passage.

1 Mind over body – that best describes Daisuke Nakanishi’s ability to cycle
over 143,000 km since the beginning of his “world tour” over a decade ago. He
has been using the same trusty bicycle since starting out on his mission in
Anchorage, Alaska, way back in 1998. He arrived in Malaysia by air from Sri
Lanka this year in April, and duly cycled from the KL International Airport to 5
Kuala Lumpur where he spent the night.

2 From here, Nakanishi will be cycling to Johor Baru en route to

Singapore, from where he will head to Indonesia. The 39-year-old single, who
speaks English, Spanish and a smattering of Portuguese, left Japan on July 23,
1998, to take on the challenge of pedalling across the world. Since then, his two- 10
wheeler has been his mobile home. He carries cooking equipment, a sleeping
bag, tent and spare parts for his bicycle in seven bags. His cycling gear is made
up of only a T-shirt, Bermuda shorts and a hat.

3 On his first visit to Kuala Lumpur, Nakanishi said the city was well-
developed compared to many others he has pedalled to. “I also enjoy the local 15
food. It is very delicious,” Nakanishi said during a brief interview at Menara Star
where he had cycled to.

4 The Economics graduate from Osaka worked for six years in a

construction company after graduating and saved US$50,000 (RM175,000)
before embarking on a mission to realise his childhood dream of touring the 20
world on a bicycle and making one million friends.

5 “It is simply fascinating to feel the wind on my face when I cycle. I feel
so free when I am on my two wheels. I can go anywhere I want,” said Nakanishi,
who stayed in Petaling Street in his stop here. “Moreover, I have visited many
countries and I have had the opportunity to learn about people and about their 25
cultures.”

6 During his travels, Nakanishi has had the good fortune to meet with
world leaders and interesting personalities, such as Nepali president Dr Ram
Barav Yadov, football icon Pele, former US president Jimmy Carter, former
Polish president Lech Walesa and the late Sir Edmund Hillary, the first person to 30
conquer Mount Everest.

7 Made an honorary citizen of Peru, Bolivia, Venezuela and Moldova, the

Japanese also endured bad experiences, such as contracting malaria in Kenya and
children throwing stones at him in Ethiopia. Nakanishi puts up his tent whenever
he wants to call it a day, and in some countries like Chile, the locals invited him 35
to spend the night in their homes.

1119/2 SULIT
SULIT 11 1119/2

8 “In Europe, the hotel rates are very expensive so I travelled out of the city
and slept inside my tent,” said the tanned Nakanishi, who confessed to eating all
kinds of food in his travels. “I find it exciting to try new kinds of food but
sometimes, I get very sick due to food poisoning,” he added. 40

9 There are countries that Nakanishi wished to visit such as Saudi Arabia
and Libya but he was unable to do so because he faced difficulties in getting the
visa. In Brazil, his credit card was stolen by a group of drug addicts. He did not
realise that his credit card was being stolen as he was sound asleep at that time!
Once while he was in Romania cycling past the beautiful countryside, he was 45
attacked by wild gypsies who were camping in the open. His old faithful bicycle
breaks down once in a while – he has endured 300 tyre punctures and replaced
the tyres 76 times as he pedalled through 123 countries in all.

10 In spite of the bad experiences, Nakanishi has never once thought of

giving up. In fact, he is looking forward to moving on and seeing other countries. 50
He said he would visit about seven more countries by the year-end before
wrapping up his tour.

11 “I miss my family very much. My parents and elder brother are waiting
for me in Japan. I have not gone home for many years! Sometimes I’ll send my
family a postcard and keep in touch with them via internet and e-mail. However, 55
all the problems that I face are insignificant as compared to the wealth of
experience that I have gained in the course of my travels,” he said.

The day of the ball drew near and Madame Loisel seemed sad, uneasy, anxious.
Her frock was ready however. Her husband said to her one evening, “What is the
matter? Come, you have seemed very queer these last three days.”
And she answered, “It annoys me not to have a single piece of jewellery, not a
single ornament, nothing to put on. I shall look poverty-stricken. I would almost
rather not go at all.”
“You might wear natural flowers,” said her husband. “They’re quite fashionable at
this time of year. For ten francs you can get two or three magnificent roses.”
She was not convinced.
“No, there’s nothing more humiliating than to look poor among other women who
are rich.”
“How stupid you are!” her husband cried. “Go and look up your friend, Madame
Forestier, and ask her to lend you some jewels. You’re intimate enough with her to
do that.”

tick at the end of such merits.

4 The examiner shall fit the candidate’s response against the most appropriate band having
most of the criteria as found in the band. The examiner may have to refer to upper or lower
bands to the band already chosen to BEST FIT the student’s response to the most
appropriate band. The marks from the band decided on for the script also depend on the
number of criteria that are found in the script.
