SULIT 2
Questions 1 - 3
Read the poem carefully and answer the questions that follow.
Tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow,

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!
Life’s 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 tale
by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.
William Shakespeare

SULIT 4
Questions 6 - 10
Read the extract below carefully and answer the questions.
That night the small boy was feverish and often mumbled in his sleep about the pencil. Maybe it
was because of his cuts and bruises. All night long his old grandmother kept watch over him; frequently
tears would flood her eyes.
The fever lasted three days. His short, plumpish body had shrivelled somewhat, causing him to
look even smaller than before.
When he was well, he returned to school, but he was no longer the quiet Zahid he had once been.
A change had come over him. It was as though the fever had created a new Zahid.
Every few minutes, one of Mr Jamal’s pupils would cry out, in despair, “Teacher, Zahid won’t
let me do my work,” “Teacher, Zahid pulled my hair,” “Teacher, Zahid smeared ink on my nose,”
“Teacher, Zahid hit me,” “Teacher, Zahid this … Zahid that … .”
Once or twice Mr Jamal warned him, “Zahid, stay in your seat,” and then tried to ignore him. But
after having his ears pounded by dozens of complaints, Mr Jamal became angry and instructed Zahid to
come up to his desk.
