    Questions 25-28are based on the following article.

    The Importance of Water

    Water is necessary to life. Without water, all living things will surely die. We need water for

    drinking, cooking, washing and cultivating our fields.

    No one can survive without drinking water. Every day, we drink litres of water. This sometimes

    takes the form of soft drinks and soups. Water is often added to dishes when we cook. It is a necessary

    ingredient.

    Farmers use water to cultivate their fields and to provide drinking water for their livestock. It is a

    precious natural resource and a source of energy. When it is converted into steam, it can be used to

    operate machines.

    Dams are built across rivers not only to generate hydroelectricity but also to create reservoirs

    where water is stored to provide for drinking and irrigation.

    Since water is so important, we should use it wisely and not waste it.

    byMaryam Khalilah bt Mat, Dungun, Terengganu(Adapted from: Quest 2010)

    25 Water is needed for all the following except

    A cultivation

    B survival

    C health

    D fuel

    26 The word operatecan best be replaced with ________

    A run

    enough space for everyone to sit and read comfortably.

    borrow a book, I sometimes find that it has been borrowed for a long time and

    not returned.

    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 taleTold by an idiot, full of sound and fury,

    Signifying nothing.

    Why so long, Cik? queried Jamal. He had already spent a few sleepless nights thinking

    about his bride.Because, dear son, explained his mother, therere the invitations, the catering, the

    bridal chamber and the bunga telur to be attended to. Well, he understood about the invitations,

    the catering, yes, the bridal chamber (blush), yes, definitely, but the bunga telur? What was that?

    He had not anticipated this bunga telur thing. Jamal needed clarifications on the bunga telur

    issue. A bunga telur, his sister explained is the thing, in fact the given thing, hosts presented to

    guests on the latters leave. These were usually hard-boiled eggs. Well, thats not really a

    problem, thought Jamal. What was wrong with that? One could eat the eggs after the feast.

    But, to Jamals horror, thebunga telur was only part of the whole scene. Jamals motherdemanded certain funds with which to finance the arrangements. Jamal then took to making

    budget sheets.
