Puan Maimunah sells nasi lemak in my school. She is thin and hunched because she has to
work hard to support her family. Her hair is grey and she has many lines on her face.
Every morning she wakes up at four to make nasi lemak to sell during the day. First, Puan
Maimunah makes sure she has everything she needs, like eggs, ikan bilis, chilli, rice,
cucumbers and coconuts. Then, she starts by cooking the rice with santan. While the rice is
cooking, she makes the ikan bilis sambal. She does not cook the cucumber but cuts them into
slices. Puan Maimunah also slices the eggs after she has boiled them.
Once the rice is cooked, she begins tearing the banana leaves into little square pieces. She
uses them to pack the nasi lemak. At about six oclock she puts her nasi lemak packets into a
basket and takes them to school. Each packet is sold for fifty cents.

Questions 1 5
Malaysia is not the home of the oil palm. It was brought to Malaysia from Africa. It was first
planted in gardens to make the surroundings more beautiful. That was in the year 1875.
Then in 1917 it was planted in large areas of land called plantations. The increase in
the worlds population meant that more cooking oil was needed. This encouraged people in
Malaysia to open up more land for planting oil palm. In 1929 there were 16 194 hectares of oil
palm in the country. The total area planted with oil palm shot up to 202 429 hectares in 1974.
The oil palm looks like the coconut tree. However, its trunk is thicker, shorter and
straighter. One hectare of oil palm can give twice the amount of oil as compared to the
coconut. In fact, it produces more oil than any other oil-producing plant.
2 Give the main reason why people increased the area for oil palm plantation.
A It was easy to plant.
B It was a beautiful plant.
C More cooking oil was needed.
D It produced more oil than other plants.

It was noon. The fox was very hungry. He walked around the jungle looking for a big, fat
hen.
Suddenly, he heard a cackle. He looked behind a bush and saw a hen a big, fat hen! His
mouth began to water.
So, he jumped through the bush. The poor hen had a shock.
Ha, ha, ha! Im going to eat you, the fox said with a broad smile on his face. The
frightened hen thought for a moment.
Oh, dont be silly! she said. Why eat me when you can eat two bigger and fatter hens
all at once? she added.
Huh? What do you mean? asked the fox.
The hen gave him two eggs. She told him that a big, fat and juicy hen lived in each egg.
The greedy fox believed her. He grabbed the eggs. As he was trying to eat them, the clever
hen ran far, far away from him.

Read the following text and answer the questions that follow.
The leopard looks very much like the cat. It is a beautiful animal and like the cat, it has a
round head, a short nose and a long thin tail. Its claws are very sharp and long. Its teeth are
stronger than that of a lion. The body of a leopard is covered with dark spots on a yellow
background.
The leopard is very good at running, jumping, climbing trees and swimming. It hunts
without stop and preys on birds, monkeys, antelopes and cattle. It is very difficult for the
leopards victim to spot it, especially when it hides in the trees. The colours of the leopards
body match that of tree trunks and dried leaves.
A leopard that has become a man-eater can be more dangerous than a tiger or a lion. It is
often called the most dangerous wild animal in the jungle by experienced hunters. There was a
report that in India a leopard killed over 200 people within two years before it was finally
caught.

Questions 1 5
Long ago, there lived a sad king. He was very unhappy because he could not keep his feet
warm on cold winter nights. Therefore he was kept awake all night long.
Everyone in his kingdom tried to solve his problem. Every possible cure was tested but his
feet remained cold!
Then one day, the frustrated king exclaimed, I will give a reward to the person who can
keep my feet warm!
Hundreds of people came to the palace with suggestions. However, each and every one of
them came out a failure.
Just then, a small boy came up to the king.
Please let me try, sir, begged the boy.
The king thought the boy was too young, but he decided to let him try.
The boy went with the king into his room. They did not come out from the room the next
morning.
The Queen and all the ministers crept into the room and saw the boy curled up around the
kings feet!

My home is a house
Near a wood
(Id live in a street)
If I could!
The lanes are so quiet,
Oh, dear!
I do wish that someone
Lived near.
There is no one to play with
At all.
The trees are so high
And so tall;
And I should be lonely
For hours,
Were it not for the birds
And the flowers.
I wish that I lived
In a town
To see all the trams
Going down
A twinkling street
That is bright
With wonderful colour
At night.
