Questions 29 34 are based on the following passage. As far back as I can remember, the large pickle jar sat on the floor beside the dresser in my parents' bedroom. When he got ready for bed, Dad would empty his pockets and toss his coins into the jar. As a small boy I was always fascinated at the sounds the coins made as they were dropped into the jar. They landed with a merry jingle when the jar was almost empty. Then the tones gradually muted to a dull thud as the jar was filled. I used to squat on the floor in front of the jar and admire the copper and silver circles that glinted like a pirate's treasure when the sun poured through the bedroom window. When the jar was filled, Dad would sit at the kitchen table and roll the coins before taking them to the bank. Taking the coins to the bank was always a big production. Stacked neatly in a small cardboard box, the coins were placed between Dad and me on the seat of his old truck. Each and every time, as we drove to the bank, Dad would look at me hopefully. "Those coins are going to keep you out of the gold mines, son. You're going to do better than me. This old mines town is not going to hold you back." Also, each and every time, as he slid the box of rolled coins across the counter at the bank towards the cashier, he would grin proudly. These are for my son's college fund. He'll never work at the mines all his life like me. (Adapted from Chicken Soup For The Soul)

Questions 35- 37 are based on the following poem. Lifes Brief Candle To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow, Creeps in this petty pace from day to day To the last syllable of recorded time, And all our yesterdays have lighted fools The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle! Lifes but a walking shadow, a poor player, That struts and frets his hour upon the stage, And then is heard no more; it is a tale Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, Signifying nothing.

William Shakespeare 35 The phrase walking shadow refers to A B C D 36 life tale time death

His last idea was really the last straw for his sister. Any more of your brilliant suggestions and the wedding is off! I mean, OFF! She stormed off into the kitchen. Jamal stared after her, blinking back his tears. He was only trying to be helpful and trying hard to economise. And precious little gratitude he got for it as well. That threat about calling off his marriage was really a kick in his underbelly. It was really all their fault. First, they found him a bride-to-be. Then, they titillated him no end with tales of the bridal chamber. Then, they titillated him even more by arranging fitting sessions with the bride-to-be, and then, when he was all worked up, threatened to call off the wedding. That was oppression. Jamal retired to a corner to lick his wounds.

Section B: Summary [10 marks] Read the passage below and answer the question that follows. Phobia, an irrational fear, is a common anxiety disorder towards a situation, place, object or animal. When the affected person is exposed to the source of the fear or thinks about it, anxiety and even panic can result. Phobias can affect anyone, irrespective* of gender, age or social background. Some phobias start in early childhood and resolve spontaneously as the child grows up. Other phobias start in adolescence* and in the twenties. Many phobias occur after a stressful experience or situation. Some phobias may persist for several years. Phobias can limit a persons activities of daily living and may cause nausea and even depression. People who have a phobia usually avoid the object or cause of their fear. In certain instances, some may develop low self-esteem and refuse to meet people. Many people who have phobias do not require treatment as avoidance of the object of their fear takes care of the problem. However, sometimes avoidance may not always be possible with certain phobias like fear of flying. In such cases, they will need to seek help from the family doctor or a specialist like a psychiatrist or psychologist.
(Adapted from The Star, 2011)

*irrespective without considering *adolescence time or period between childhood and adulthood

Write a summary on the effects of phobias. Your summary must: not be more than 60 words, including the 10 words given below be in continuous writing (not in note form) be written in one paragraph Use your own words as far as possible without changing its original meaning.
