Chewing  Ice  
A  lump  of  the  cold  stuff  is  very  nice  in  a  Coke.  But  several  studies  have  suggested  that  if  you  enjoy  
munching  ice  regularly,  you  could  be  iron-­‐deficient.  This  odd  habit  can  be  extreme  to  be  given  a  
name,  pagophagia.    No  one  really  understands  why  this  is  the  case,  though  it  may  be  that  it  eases  
inflammation  in  the  mouth  caused  by  anaemia  and  the  resulting  lack  of  oxygen  being  transported  by  
the  blood.  

1. Below are the reasons to chew ice from the excerpt above except
A. iron-deficient
B. extreme habit
C. eases inflammation
D. lack of oxygen

Section C
[25 marks]

Questions 26 – 31 are based on the following passage.

1 “You have to eat all of them. The rooster first. That bird is too noisy,”
says my mother, as I stared at the brood of chickens clucking and scratching, in
mute disbelief. Just three days earlier, I had given birth to a healthy 3.3kg baby
boy after a gruelling 36 hours in labour. Now, I am staring at these chickens in
the portable mini coop at my parents’ flat in Selangor, Malaysia, where my 5
husband, Pratheip, and I are supposed to spend the next six weeks.
2 Ever since I was a little girl, I had fantasised about being a mother. The
visions had always been a bliss as I imagined myself with my baby. Little did I
know that I had just strapped myself in for the most challenging rollercoaster
ride of my life. For starters, I had to observe a confinement period of 40 days, a 10
custom that is still widely practised in a number of Asian communities where
we adhere to certain rules pertaining to postpartum healing. One of the rules
was that I had to be in a non-air-conditioned environment, with minimal fan
contact. The problem was it was a scorching January and I was beyond
uncomfortable. Mother also made me wear a sarong cloth bound tightly around 15
my waist, which was supposed to get rid of postpartum flab. “Don’t waste
money on binders. They don’t work,” she said dismissively.
3 My diet included huge portions of ‘kampong’ (free range) chicken soup
cooked with bitter herbs and spices. The thick broth, brewed over many hours,
is meant to restore energy, and it’s a common belief in the Indian culture that 20
the spices used in the soup can protect the body from infections. I wasn’t
convinced by the taste, though – which was a shame since I was expected to eat
it twice a day.
4 The afternoons were spent sitting by a charcoal-lit fire prepared by my
father, which burned with very pungent incense. It is believed that inhaling the 25
smoke can kill bad germs while the heat is good for the body.
5 The days crept by, and so did the unceasing cycle of nappy changes,
nursing, rocking and cuddling my little man. It became a lot to handle and I felt
overwhelmed. Pratheip, who is with the armed forces, had only limited
paternity leave, much to my frustration. If I wasn’t grumbling to him about 30
Mother’s seemingly absurd do’s and don’ts, I was weepy.
6 I felt utterly helpless. Pratheip couldn’t have been more empathetic but
he, too, was struggling to get a grip on parenthood.
7 Days later, I was adjusting my sarong when Mother came in with pile of
folded nappies. I thanked her and waited for her to leave. Instead, she sat on the 35
bed and beckoned me next to her.
8 “Honey, the early days are usually the lousiest,’ she said, “Everything
will seem out of control. But don’t worry, they are all hormones. You should
feel better soon,”
9 Her words felt like a cool drop of water on a parched tongue. “Is it 40
normal to feel so helpless all the time? Do all women go through it?” I asked.
10 “Dear, you have just given birth to a new life to care for and love. Of
course, it is tough. Your body is trying to work it out and so will your heart and
mind. Don’t be too hard on yourself,” she said reassuringly.

I hung on to her words. I began embracing motherhood and things took 45

11 a turn for the better. I felt a huge sense of accomplishment the first time I
managed to soothe my crying baby without Mother’s aid.
Much to my delight, the confinement days eventually came to an end. It
12 was time for me, Pratheip and little Kavin Samuel to go back to Perak and I
know I can always count on Mother, whenever I’m in doubt 50

32 Read the following poem below and answer the questions that follow.

A POISON TREE

I was angry with my friend:

I told my wrath, my wrath did end.
I was angry with my foe:
I told it not, my wrath did grow.

And I watered it in fears,

Night and morning with my tears;
And I sunned it with smiles,
And with soft deceitful wiles.

And it grew both day and night,

Till it bore an apple bright;
And my foe beheld it shine,
And he knew that it was mine,

And into my garden stole

When the night had veiled the pole:
In the morning glad I see
My foe outstretched beneath the tree.

William  Blake
