Plastic pollution is a global crisis. Most of the plastic waste is washed into the sea by
rivers and ends up poisoning sea birds and marine life like marine turtles, dolphins,
whales and even worse, our major marine resource – seafood. Based on the 2017 study
in the journal of Scientific Reports; it is reported that microplastic has seeped into the
flesh of fish, which is then eaten by humans (source: www.nature.com). That is quite
worrisome as microplastic has entered our food chain!

Adapted from Green Heart, 2019

A we should stop consuming seafood.
B plastic waste is harmless to marine life.
C plastic pollution has become a problem world-wide.

It was while I was living in England, in the jostle and drizzle of London, that I
remembered the Himalayas at their most vivid. I had grown up amongst
those great blue and brown mountains. They had nourished my blood, and
though I was separated from them by thousands of miles of ocean, plain
and desert, I could not forget them. It is always the same with mountains.
Once you have lived with them for any length of time, you belong to them.
There is no escape.

Adapted from My Favourite Nature Stories, 2016

7 From the extract, we know that the writer

A reminisces his time in the Himalayas.
B enjoys spending time in a London weather.
C longs to travel to the ocean, plain and ocean.

Question 16 to 25
Read the following movie poster synopsis and reviews. Then, answer the questions that follow.

Upin & Ipin : Keris Siamang Tunggal or Upin & Ipin : The
Lone Gibbon Kris is a 2019 Malaysian computer-animated adventure
film, directed by Adam Amiruddin, Syed Nurfaiz Khalid Syed Ibrahim
and Ahmad Razuri Roseli.
After a short prelude and without much lingering, Upin & Ipin:
Keris Siamang Tunggal has chalked up RM 25 million in ticket sales in
just three weeks since it opened in cinemas on March, 21.
It is the fourth feature film based on the animated TV
series Upin & Ipin by Les' Copaque Production after Geng : The
Adventure Begins (2009) and Upin & Ipin : Jeng Jeng Jeng! (2016).
A pleasant surprise however, is the range of emotions one
finds on the faces of the boys that may have been simplified for
TV. This goes for some of the other main players in the show as well.
The colours and details poured to the many backgrounds in the film
are also pretty impressive.
SYNOPSIS
The story of Keris Siamang Tunggal kicks off with Upin, Ipin and their friends finding a bladeless
keris while cleaning Tok Dalang’s shed. After an incident with the keris, the youngsters are magically
transported into a fantasyland named Inderaloka where they meet a guy named Mat Jenin. Upin and Ipin
also meet other characters who are known to us, such as Pak Belalang, Nakhoda Ragam and Bawang
Putih at Inderaloka.
As the friends go exploring in this kingdom, Upin and Ipin learn that they might have a connection
with the keris and what is happening in Inderaloka, ruled by the cruel king Raja Bersiong.
Frankly, there are many admirable elements to catch here!

The story line is super-awesome with
breathtaking CGI work! Funny, eye catching,
thrilling and packed with original Malay family
values. Every minute of the story is so
enjoyable.
I underestimate this movie at first since it is a
kid's movie but it exceeds my expectation. I love
that it referenced some popular Malay legends.
I really recommend this to people who like
action adventure movie.

It is definitely by far the best Malaysian movie I must say. Complete with a
great storyline filled with meaningful Malay fairy tales in addition to an epic
musical and character development. Congratulations to the team.

Questions 26 to 31 are based on the following passage.

1 It was his first day working at Walmart and Cameron Aulner had a few butterflies
in his stomach. An hour into the shift, he had already made a couple of sales. Out of the
blue, a man started shouting, “Stop that man”, from another part of the store. Aulner who
had lost the use of his legs eight years earlier in a fall from a roof, backed up his
wheelchair to avoid trouble. “There must be a shoplifter,” he thought. “None of my 5
business.” However, the voice grew louder and then the man said something about a little
girl.

2 Chris Belvin was shopping with his two young sons. He had thought of taking a
pass on Walmart that morning as he had woken up with a flu and was moving slowly.
However, it was his younger son Keegan’s eighth birthday and they usually went to the 10
store, before heading home for cake. Now with his wife, Cindy, trawling the grocery
aisles, he took Keegan and Adam, ten, to check out the toys.

3 A former security guard, Belvin immediately noticed the scruffy man in a tan
baseball hat walking quickly down the aisles. The man did not look like he was
shopping. Then, Belvin heard the cry of a little girl, “Somebody help me!” 15

4 In the LEGO aisle, a ten-year-old girl had been pushing her two-year-old brother
in a cart. Now Belvin overheard her frantically telling someone that a man had just
grabbed her backside. “Was he wearing a black shirt and a tan baseball hat?” Belvin
asked her. When she said yes, he took off to find him.

5 Heading towards the front of the store, he spotted the man about 30 metres ahead 20
walking rapidly towards the door. As Belvin closed in on him, the man started running.
Belvin yelled, “Stop him! That man had just molested a little girl.” Then he saw
Cameron Aulner leave his station and wheeled quickly towards the checkout aisles. “I
thought, What is this man going to do?”

6 As Belvin describes the situation, “Cameron wheeled himself in front of the 25

assailant at the perfect time. The suspect crashed into him, and Cameron fell out of his
chair.” Belvin and two other men ran over to them, while Aulner struggled to hang on to
the suspect, whom he had dragged to the floor as he went down. “I think he was really
surprised that a man in a wheelchair just tackled him,” says Aulner. While one of the
other men helped Aulner back into his chair, Belvin jerked the suspect to his feet. The 30

man tried to pull away, but by the time the store’s security guard appeared a few minutes
later, the suspect had given up.

7 “It is not in every call you respond to that the suspect is already subdued,” says
James Bolger, the police officer on the scene. As he led the assailant, Kevin Salyers
away, a group of customers let loose a string of harsh words. Belvin meanwhile, rounded 35
up his sons and returned to the little girl, who later told the police that Salyers had passed
her twice and then squeezed her backside as she tried to press against a shelf of toys.

8 The girls’ parents, who had been shopping elsewhere in the store, rushed to their
daughter’s side and thanked Belvin and Aulner. So did other shoppers. Aulner said he
acted on instinct and credits his only season of high school football for his winning 40
tackle. “You do not disrespect a woman, whether she is two or 100,” he says, adding “I
do not think of myself as a hero. I just did what is right.”

The Living Photograph

My small grandmother is tall there,

straight-back, white broderie anglaise shirt,
pleated skirt, flat shoes, grey bun,
a kind, old smile round her eyes.
Her big hand holds mine,
white hand in black hand.
Her sharp blue eyes look her own death in the eye.

It was true after all; that look.

My tall grandmother became small.
Her back round and hunched.
Her soup forgot to boil.
She went to the awful place grandmothers go.
Somewhere unknown, unthinkable.

But there she is still,

in the photo with me at three,
the crinkled smile is still living, breathing
