special defences. Porcupines has spines, camels spit and bees sting.

Hedgehogs have spines which in fact were hollow, sharp hairs. If

contract. Disguise can also be used on self-protection. Some animals

Question 2

Read the following text. Then, answer question (a) – (j).

Technology has advanced tremendously in recent years. It has taken so much

control of our daily lives that there has been much debate on the benefits and

disadvantages of technology, especially on children. Let’s look at some of them.

Firstly, technology makes long-distance communication possible. This

means that children are able to connect with friends and family who are far away.

Then, technology teaches cause and effect as it enhances children’s curiosity and

encourages them to explore further from the safety of the home.

Besides that, pressing keys and using the mouse help in fine-tuning

children’s fine motor skills. It also supports home-learning. For example,

children learn to control and use technology in operational learning. As they

observe their parents use technology in daily life, they will learn how technology

helps with everyday tasks such as travel research, ordering goods, weather

forecast and many more.

However, technology overuse may lead to technology addiction. It also

encourages a sedentary lifestyle because technological devices do not promote

physical stimulation as much as physical activity.

Research has shown that technology may increase aggressive responses

from children who spend their time playing violent video games. It has the

potential to disrupt sleep as children need at least 12 hours of sleep per day to

grow healthily. Technology may also decrease adult-child interaction because

children give undivided attention to their gadgets or games once they start

playing.

Question 3

Read the book synopses below. Then, answer questions (a) – (j).

The Fault in Our Stars by John Green

Teenagers, especially girls, will laugh and cry as they make their way through this

novel. Sixteen-year-old Hazel with terminal cancer meets Augustus at her kids-

with-cancer support group. They fall in love while asking the difficult questions of

life: How will I be remembered? Does my life, and will my death, have meaning?

This is Where I Leave You by Jonathan Tropper

The death of Judd Foxman’s father marks the first time that the entire Foxman clan

has congregated in years. Judd joins his dysfunctional family as they reluctantly

spend seven days and nights under the same roof. The week quickly spins out of

control as long-standing grudges resurface and secrets are revealed.

A Long Way Down by Nick Hornby

Four people find themselves on the same roof on New Year’s Eve. They have one

thing in common – they are all there to jump to their death. A scandal-plagued

talk-show host, a single mum of a disabled young man, a troubled teen and an

ageing musician soon unite in a common cause to find out why Jess (the teen)

cannot get her ex-boyfriend to return her calls. Down the stairs they go, and

thoughts of suicide gradually subside. A book about suicide is usually dark but

this one is darkly humorous.

The Hundred-foot Journey by Richard C. Morais

The story begins with Hassan Haji’s grandfather starting a lowly restaurant in

Bombay on the eve of the World War ll, which his father later inherited. When

tragedy struck, the Hajis left India. After a brief stay in England, they moved to a

quaint French alpine village of Lumiere. The family settled in the village, bringing

Indian cuisine to the unsuspecting town. This provoked the ire of Madame

Mallory, an unpleasant but extremely talented local chef.

[ Time suggested: 20 minute]

Question 4

Read the text below.

Read the text carefully and answer questions (a) – (j).

a) Where did the boys and the girl live?

b) Describe the girl.

A long time ago, there was a family with six sons and a daughter who lived in a

village near the Sapulut River in Sabah. The girl, who was the youngest in the

family, was also the most beautiful girl in the village.

The siblings loved to spend their day near the Sapulut River. Now there was

one rock on the upper river and a skunk lived on this rock. The skunk had such an

overpowering stench that the siblings hated and planned to have it killed.

One night, the girl dreamt that the rock could be destroyed using a shoulder

blade of a porcupine. When she told her brothers about the dream, the boys quickly

headed to the forest to catch the porcupine. Once the porcupine was caught, they

slaughtered the animal and ate the meat. The bones were fixed together to form the

axe that they could use to cut the rock.

The next day, the siblings went to the river to destroy the rock. Before they

began, they placed their sister on another rock. Then, they started to strike the rock

with the axe. Eventually, the rock broke and fell into the Sapulut River. However,

they did not realise that every strike they made to the rock caused the other rock,

which their sister was on, to grow taller and taller. When the boys turned around,

they were shocked to see their sister on top of a gigantic rock crying for help.

With angry blows, they tried to cut down the rock. The peak of the rock broke

and was thrown all the way to Tenom Lama, a village more than 50 kilometres

northwest of Sapulut. It is now called Batu Pinuto. Nevertheless, the boys could not

find their sister and came to accept the fact that they had lost her forever. The rock

that broke is known as Batu Punggul.
