COMPREHENSION
Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions on it.
The crowd was massive. Men, women, boys and girls from every nook and cranny of the village had gathered under the big iroko tree. Also in the crowd was an American couple, tourists, who were enjoying their holiday. At the centre of the large circle of people was the magician who had the reputation of performing unbelievable feats. Everybody was impressed with the feats which went along with the hilarious drumming.
Then came the next item. The magician’s three aides each took out a local gun while the magician danced even wilder. The gun-totting aides took up position in three different corners. The drumming became more frenzied and the magician performed more acrobatics. The people were not to wonder for long what guns had to do with the whole show. One after the other, the aides aimed at the magician while he steadied himself to receive the shots. Each gun boomed with a loud report, and the magician jumped up in celebration of his survival. The three shots seemingly got to him but he simply laughed to scorn the shooters.
The American tourist was more mystified. He could not explain it. How could a man receive bullet shots in his chest and still remain unscathed? In disbelief, he shouted, “This is amazing, can’t be explained. But wait a minute, I’ll join the show myself. “There and then, he went to his car, took out his rifle and returned to the crowd. “I’m gonna get this guy!” he proclaimed.
He took aim. The magician saw him out of the corner of his eye. He surveyed the scenario and decided that he was not prepared for this. Quickly, he showed a clean pair of heels. Tearing through the crowd, he ran for his dear life. Some thought this was still part of the show, but when the man would return, it was clear that he had bidden the audience a hasty farewell.
What the American and most others did not realize all the time was that the locals had no bullets whatsoever, only the gunpowder.
Questions:
a) What suggests that the show was free?
b) What evidence is there that the performance was not a one-man show?
c) Why was the magician confident to receive the shots from his aides?
d) What did the American tourist set out to prove?
e) What might have happened if the American had completed his contemplated action?
f) …he showed a clean pair of heels. What does this expression mean?
g) …which went along with the hilarious drumming.
I. What is the grammatical name given to this expression as it is used in the passage?
II. What is its function?
h) For each of the following words, find another word or phase which means the same and which can replace it as it is used in the passage:
I. Feats;
II. Aides;
III. Steadied;
IV. Mystified
V. Unscathed;
SUMMARY
Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions on it.
Drug abuse is a menace in many countries. The continued abuse of drugs usually leads to addiction. This problem is more common among youths. The drugs that can be abused vary from prescribed medication to more controlled substances. Alcohol, cigarette and controlled substances such as cocaine, heroin, methamphetamine and so on are addictive drugs that are often used by many young people. They can be smoked, swallowed, and inhaled or injected into the bloodstream.
There are numerous adverse medical and psychological consequences associated with drug addiction. Individuals have been known to suffer irreversible damage from the abuse of drugs. It can affect the nervous system as well as cause memory loss, brain damage and depression.
Drug addicts may display psychotic behaviours, mood swings and may be predispose to irascible decision making. They are also likely to suffer general health problems related to the lungs, heart and kidneys. In fact, the adverse behavioural and physical effects of drugs addiction on individuals are enormous.
Apart from problems for the individual, the families of drug addicts are not spared. Since addicts are usually incapable of functioning as ‘normal’ members of the society, they abuse their families. They are prone to abusing their spouses and children. There have been reports of children harming their parents because the latter did not give them money to buy drugs. Drugs addicts may eventually require expensive treatment and rehabilitation. These have huge cost implications that put a lot of pressure on the family budget. In addition, their families face stigmatization in their communities.
The society at large also suffers. Drug addicts are more likely to be involved in criminal activities than people who are not. Many of the heinous crimes reported have been attributed to drug addiction.The abuse of alcohol is one of the reasons for the increasing number of road accidents. An increase in crime rates forces the government to commit huge resources to fighting crime, resources that could have been used to provide more social amenities. Moreover, most criminal gangs are formed and thrive on money from drugs. Although the addicts have made the drugs trade seemingly attractive and profitable, no one should promote it.
Regardless of the apparently insurmountable nature of the problems associated with drug addiction, some measures could be taken to curb this menace. People need to be more educated on the effects of addiction on themselves and their families. Children must be taught in schools and at home the need to stay away from drugs. The law- enforcement agencies should also be better empowered and resourced to apprehend dealers in order to curtail the availability of drugs in circulation. Another step is to ensure that drug addict receive early treatment. Such treatment should be based on the specific drug the individual is addicted to. While it may appear impossible to eliminate the problems of addiction, relentless efforts in taking the steps above will help to weaken the grip of drug abuse on our society.
(a) In three sentences, one for each, state three categories of people that are affected by drug addiction and what they suffer.
(b) In three sentences, one for each, identify three ways to combat drug addiction in the society.

ENGLISH EXAM QUESTIONS FOR SS1 THIRD TERM
CLASS: S.S.S 1 SUBJECT: ENGLISH STUDIES
SECTION A.
INSTRUCTION:- Read the passage below and answer the questions that follows.
We all have serious personal problems at some time in our lives and can be dealt with fairly easily, especially if counseling is available.
Counselors are trained professionals who are there to advise and assist. Some churches have priests or pastors who are professionally equipped for this role. Very little that you can say to them will surprise them: they have seen and heard it all, and have great most problems. You can trust them; whatever you say to them remains confidential.
Many young people have problem of one kind or another that cause great stress. The problems typically fall into three categories –home, schooland relationships.
Problems at home can involve sibling rivalries, financial problems, and physical or emotional abuse of various kinds. At school, most problems arise from stress related to studies and examinations, to bullying.
Relationship problems take many different forms: they can also involve problems relating to making and keeping friends, and disagreements and misunderstandings. Some of the problems may centre on relationship with the opposite sex, such as a boyfriend who is too demanding, or injection by a girlfriend.
There is one other of problem we should also mention medical problems. Again, nothing you do or say is likely to surprise a doctor as they to have seen and heard it all. Again, everything you say remains confidential. For example, if you have an STD – a sexually transmitted disease, you should not hesitate to go to a doctor. It may be embarrassing, but it is better to be embarrassed than suffer.
If you find out that you have HIV, you may find it difficult deal with the information and in deciding who to tell. You may suffer from changes in mood, which can be difficult to cope with alone. You may find it useful to obtain not just medical help, but also counseling.
Remember, whatever your problem a problem shared is a problem solved
1. Who are counselors?
2. What are then categories of problems faced by young people?
3. Explain in one sentence, the problem faced by young people in schools
4. Who should a person with STD visit and why?
5. What do you understand from the final passage in the last two lines?
