Read the following passage and answer the questions that follow:
(Solved)
Read the following passage and answer the questions that follow:
We are often advised to be confident; confidence comes when we feel passionately about what we perform, what
we have achieved, and what we can offer.
Lack of confidence can hinder a lot of things, ranging from how you get ahead in your career to the number of
skills you are able to acquire. It is a determining factor in the way you direct your career. Confidence is conveyed
from inner to the outer through the words you speak and the posture you assume. Building confidence is not a one
day affair. Neither does it take other people to build your confidence.
I remember an interview I once conducted for secretaries, and the memory of one woman is intact. She
stammered from the point she entered the office to the moment she left. Thinking that it was interview jitters, we
called her again, based on her technical qualifications rather than her presentation. She presented the same
problem. We settled on a different candidate because confidence was a key qualification for the job which
involved dealing with clients and colleagues.
Not many entry-level and first-time job seekers are coached or tutored on how to gain more self-confidence.
Instead, we tell them to “attend a few events, meet more people, and get the hang of it.” That is not the right
approach. Often, by the time you “get the hang of it,” you will have probably ruined a few chances, stepped on a
few toes, and generally spoilt a few opportunities. Confidence starts from within, which means working with
yourself to find an effective method on your capabilities.
Having had quite some experience interviewing and being interviewed, I have developed three sure-fire ways that
not only help me before an interview, but improve my general self-confidence. You must start with one as you
progress and eventually build your own self-confidence.
I have learnt that confidence begins with pushing yourself towards positive attitude. Before an interview, I tell
myself that I am capable of great things, great performance, and that the interview is only a little chat I must have
to get the job. Not only do I talk myself into entering the interview room, but I also talk myself into achieving
success, whether or not I need the job. About 90 percent of the time, I have been successful in interviews.
Doubting oneself only leads to criticizing oneself, which plants deep roots that can be almost impossible to weed
out. My mentor always used to say, “You are what you think you are.”
Secondly, beginning with one small step rather than giant leaps will ensure that you tackle interviews and first
jobs with a lot of self-confidence. There are two ways to go through this.
The first one has to do with something that you like doing, such as writing a song. However, this should not be
just any song but a new one created out of your love for music. My personal pre-interview confidence boost is to
cook something that I have never tried before. This boosts my self-confidence to new levels. After achieving that
particular goal, you must pat yourself on the back.
The third step to building confidence involves holding onto that little surge of confidence. Once you have tackled
what you have previously found to be difficult, then the next step would be to focus on building your self
confidence a lot further.
Ensure that this becomes not only a monthly confidence boost, but a daily one because, as we are all programmed,
we must build our self-confidence habitually to maintain it. Routines have been known to help anybody to
acquire and maintain confidence
(a) What is confidence according to the passage?
(b) How is confidence conveyed?
(c) What suggestions are given to first-time job seekers to help them in gaining more self-confidence?
(d) What does the writer identify as the major hindrance to confidence?
(e) According to the writer what two key qualifications were they looking for in the interview for secretaries.
(f) Identify the three ways the writer mentions that help before an interview and improve in self confidence.
(g) In not more than 50 words write what the writer has been doing to achieve success in interviews.

FIRST LAYER (bowing): Thank you, your honour. High court of justice, of all ties the ties of blood is
strongest. Mother and child – is there a more intimate relationship? Can one tear a child
from its mother? High court of justice, she has conceived it in the holy esctaties of love.
She has carried it in her womb. She has fed it with her blood. She has borne it with pain.
High court of justice, it has been observed that the wild tigress, robbed of her young, roams
restless through the mountains, shrunk to a shadow. Nature herself.....
AZDAK (interrupting, to Grusha): What’s your answer to all this and anything else that lawyer
might have to say?
GRUSHA: He’s mine.
AZDKA: Is that all? I hope you can prove it. Why should I assign the child to you in any case?
GRUSHA: I brought him up like the priest says “according to my best knowledge and conscience.” I
always found him something to eat. Most of the he had a roof over his head. And I went to
such trouble for him. I had expenses too. I didn’t look out for my own comfort. I brought
the child up to be friendly with everyone, and from the beginning taught him to work. As
well as he could, that is. He’s still very little.

Dear Illo Shuboladze, surely it can be divulged now that the Abashwili estates are at stake?
FIRST
LAWYER
Please, Honoured Sandro Oboladze! We agreed............(To AZDAK: ) Of course it is
correct that the trial will also decide if our noble client can take over the Abashwili estates,
which are rather extensive. I say “also” advisedly, for in the foreground stands the human
tragedy of a mother, as Natella Abashwili very properly explained in the first words of her
moving statement. Even if Michael Abashwili were not heir to the estates, he would still be
the dearly beloved child of my client.

- Read the passage below and answer the question that follow.(Solved)
Read the passage below and answer the question that follow.
The career market is full of opportunities. Gone are the days when they had “either ......or” career choices. The
times when women, for example, chose between only nursing, teaching and secretarial work are long gone. The
explosion in communication technology, and the liberalization and globalization of the world economy, has
ensured that there is no longer a dearth and career choices. Today, colleges and universities offer a wide range of
training opportunities to high school graduates. This has made choosing a career an involving process. It has also
given rise to the heed for career counseling.
When choosing a career, whether you have the help of a career counselor or not, there are several factors that you
should consider. These include your abilities or talents, your interests, your priorities, and the available
opportunities in the job market.
The skills required in a particular career and the ability to gain them through education must considered when
choosing careers. Becoming a doctor, for instance, requires extensive education and training and many years of
educational commitment. In addition to the compulsory subjects, the academic background required for this career
is good grades in chemistry and biology at secondary level. If your ability in these subjects is just average, you
would be overstretching your luck to enroll for Bachelor of Medicine degree course.
In the past, students have chosen to pursue training in engineering even when their ability to handle physics and
mathematics was low. This, in many cases has made them drop out of the class mid-course. The waste of time and
resources would have been avoided if they had considered a career that did not require the ability to handle
mathematics and physics well.
There are times people have been driven to choose a particular career because of the salary and prestige associated
with jobs in that field. At times, the desire to take courses comes from within the individual, but most times,
individuals feel pressured by peers or family to take certain course. Joining a career in which you have no interest
is a recipe for dull life since you will spend most of your working hours doing something you do not like. Your
career does not necessarily have to be your passion, but it should not bore you to death either. You can work out
your interest by identifying the subjects you enjoy most at school, or the topics that are of interest to you and for
which you take the initiative to read on your own
It is true that many young people are attracted more by the social mobility that the job might provide than by their
interest in the career. However, research has found that money does not play as big role in job satisfaction as many
people think. Of course we all have to make a living, but if you do not like your job, it does not matter how much
you get paid to do it. What does matter is how well a career choice matches your value. If you value variety,
collaboration and creativity, for example, you would not find job satisfaction in a career where you are working
alone and doing the same thing every day.
The availability of jobs in a particular field should also be a factor in choosing a career. This should be considered
alongside the skills and education sought in a given field. Most times, highly competitive fields require more
education but may not pay well. When there are many applicants for a particular position, unique personality traits
become added benefit. However, in fields where there are fewer applicants than the positions available, the pay
may be more and the job may require less education.
Nevertheless, one should not be discouraged by the scarcity of employment positions because institutions of
higher learning now emphasize that they are not simply training people to get out and look for jobs. They are
training people to get out and create jobs.
Therefore, the availability of job opportunities is not necessarily limited to the presence of employers. It also
encompasses opportunities for self-employment which everyone is free to explore.
1. What has created necessity for career counseling?
2. Why do you think the writer cites engineering in the passage?
3. What do you think should be the most important factor in choosing a career? Give reason for your answer.
4. In about fifty words, summarize the importance of knowing the availability of jobs in the career field one
wants to join.

5. What evidence is given in the passage to support the statement 'money does not play as a role

require the ability to handle mathematics and physics.” (Begin: If................)
b) The career market is full of many opportunities. (Begin: There..................)

- Read the following narrative then answer the questions that follow.(Solved)
Read the following narrative then answer the questions that follow.
Once upon a time Hare and Hyena were very good friends. They visited each other every day and herded their cows
together.
There came a time when the cows started dying one after the other. The two friends wanted to find out why the cows
were dying. Hare said, ‘Let us go and kill our mothers and take out their livers. We shall then cook and taste these
livers. The bitter liver will show whose mother was making the cows die.
At once Hyena went and killed his mother. He took out the liver and cooked it. Hare went and hid his mother in the
garden in bushy banana plants. He then went and killed an antelope, took out its liver and cooked it.
The two friends met to eat their livers. “My liver is very bitter”, said the Hyena. “Mine is very sweet,” said Hare, “So
it was your mother who was making the cows die.” Hyena kept quiet and went home feeling sad. He moved from the
old house to a smaller one because now he had no mother. Hare did the same.
After a short time, there was great famine in the land. The two friends decided that each of them was to look for food
on alternate days sharing on an equal basis what was available. When it was Hyena’s turn, he went and found only
honeycombs without any honey. When Hyena brought these, Hare refused this because he had secretly gone to his
mother who had given him some bananas. This went on for many days, and Hyena grew thinner and thinner. Then he
started wondering “How does my friend remain fat and he doesn’t eat anything. I will find out.”
One day he followed Hare. Hare went to his mother as usual. ‘Mother, mother, I have come’ and the mother dropped
some bananas which Hare ate quickly. He then looked for some honeycombs and took them to the friend. “This is all I
could find my friend.” The Hyena kept quiet. The next day he went to the banana plant and called. His voice however
was very deep and no bananas were dropped for him.
There was an old hyena who was staying at the end of the forest and used to give advice to people. So Hare’s friend
went to her and told her his problem. “Go and put your tongue on the path of black ants,” He was told, “Let them bite
your tongue until it hurts. That’s how your voice will be soft.”
Hyena went and did as he was told. When he went to Hare’s mother his voice was as soft as Hare’s. “Mother, mother I
have come.” And Hare’s mother dropped bananas for his him. Then he told her to come and greet him. When she
came down and saw it was Hyena she screamed but there was nobody near to help. Hyena killed her immediately.
Hyena went and met Hare as usual saying nothing about Hare’s mother. The following day it was Hare’s turn. He
went to his usual place. “Mother” he called again. He climbed up. There was nobody. Having seen some blood on the
ground, Hare knew what had happened to his mother.
When Hare got back to Hyena’s house, he said nothing. At night, Hare took all cows including Hyena’s and went
away to live in another part of the country. That ended the Hare and Hyena’s friendship. And that is the end of my
story to you.

Read the passage below and answer the questions that follow.
When Google hosted a boot camp in California this month for its Android operating system, there were some
new faces in the room: auto manufacturers. They made the trip to learn about Android Auto, a new dashboard
system meant to let a smartphone power a car’s center screen. Tasks as varied as navigation, communication and
music apps, all constantly talking to the cloud. And to the driver. A similar scene is playing out just a few miles
down the road at Apple, where a rival system, CarPlay, has been developed for iPhone users.
After years of being treated as an interesting side business, autos have become the latest obsession for Silicon
Valley, with Apple assigning about 200 engineers to work on electric vehicle technology and Google saying it
envisions the public using driverless cars within five years. But nowhere is that obsession playing out more
immediately than in the battle to develop the next generation of cars’ dashboard systems.
In the coming weeks and months, dealerships around the country will begin selling vehicles capable of
running Android Auto, Apple CarPlay, or both. The systems go far beyond currently available Bluetooth pairing
for playing music or making a hands-free call, and allow for Google’s or Apple’s operating system to essentially
take over the center screen and certain buttons within the car. “Consumers have spoken,” said John Maddox,
assistant director of the University of Michigan’s Mobility Transformation Center.
“They expect to have coordination between their phone and their vehicle.” Here at Google’s headquarters,
Android Auto is about to make its debut in Americans’ cars after two years in development. Plug in a smartphone
with a USB cord and the system powers up on a car’s screen. The phone’s screen, meanwhile, goes dark, not to be
touched while driving. Apple’s CarPlay works similarly, with bubbly icons for phone calls, music, maps,
messaging and other apps appearing on the car’s center screen. (Apple declined to comment for this article.)
While the idea of constantly connected drivers zipping along roads raises concerns about distracted driving,
both companies say their systems are designed with the opposite goal: to make cellphone-toting drivers safer.“We
looked at what people do with their phones in the car, and it was scary,” said Andrew Brenner, who heads
Google’s Android Auto team. “You want to say to them, ‘Yikes, no, don’t do that.’”
Brenner said his team tried to figure out how to minimize distraction during tasks people frequently do while
driving, while also deciding what should be prevented in the car altogether. Google even built its own driverdistraction lab, to test different variations Android Auto, for example, has no “back” button like the smartphone version. No “recents” button either. Google
Maps has been adjusted to make fonts bigger and streets less detailed, for easier reading while driving. No action
should take more than two seconds — consistent with the Transportation Department’s voluntary guidelines.
“Things that we don’t show are just as important as what we do show,” Brenner said. Music is most definitely in.
Streaming video? Most definitely not.
Most social media will also be blocked, and texts can be sent only with voice commands. Apps on the screen
are optimized for speed: glance, touch and eyes back to the road. “It’s these little glances at the screen that people
do in a car,” he said.
“We want something that’s very glanceable, that can be seen and done quickly.” When the Android Auto
project began, it included a core group of automakers like General Motors, Audi, Honda and Hyundai. Now, as it
prepares for its debut, roughly two dozen car brands have signed on to offer it soon. Apple has teamed up with
roughly the same number of brands, many of which will offer both systems. Most automakers are staying mum on
their exact start dates, but Hyundai is expected to act shortly, and Volkswagen has indicated availability for its
next Golf. GM has said the same about its Spark subcompact. One of the most widespread adopters will be Ford,
which this year will begin offering both Android Auto and CarPlay in conjunction with the revamping of the
automaker’s much-criticized Sync system.
By the end of 2016, they will be available on all Fords sold in the United States. “We don’t want people to
have to make a vehicle choice based on which mobile phone they have,” said Don Butler, Ford’s executive
director for connected vehicles and services. “We want to accommodate all customers and their devices.”
Fiat-Chrysler, considered to have one of the better infotainment platforms on the market, has signed on to
support Google’s and Apple’s systems. But a bit of lament is evident. “We’re confident that our systems deliver a
good experience for our customers,” said Eric Mayne, a spokesman at Chrysler. “But we’re not standing still
either.'
