9 Questions 9 15 are based on the following passage. How do we cook instant noodles? Normally, we put the noodles into a pot 9 water. After that, we will put in the seasoning and let 10 cook for about three minutes before they are ready to be 11. By doing this, we will boil the ingredients in the seasoning containing monosodium glutamate. The process will change the molecular 12 of the monosodium glutamate causing it to be toxic. The noodles are also coated with wax and it will take about four to five days for the body to excrete it after you have taken the noodles. Now, here is the correct method of cooking instant noodles. First, boil the noodles in a pot of water. Once the noodles are cooked, _13 _ them from the pot and pour away the water which contains the wax. 14, boil another pot of water and put the noodles into this boiling water before _ 15_ off the stove.

12 Section C [25 marks] Questions are based on the following passage. The passage below describes how Erma Mata struggled to get treatment for her son. Read the passage carefully and answer the questions that follow. 1 Momma, I m going to die, the boy whispered, lying on his bed in the children s ward of the Philippine General Hospital. 2 No, darling, you ll be okay, his mother murmured, stroking his brow. Erma Mata and her husband had spent everything they had to get help for the incurable blood disease that was eating up their son s body. Nearly nine years old, Caesar Mata weighed 30 pounds and stood three feet two inches tall. Doctors had given him only a few more years to live. 3 Caesar had always seemed small for his age. His stomach was bloated out of proportion to his tiny arms and legs, and sometimes he had problems urinating. But he never complained. Like his mother Erma, Caesar was quiet and determined. Then, after his fourth birthday in 1978, the boy grew sickly pale. You must take him to a Manila hospital right away, a local doctor warned Erma. 4 That night, Erma cried as she broke the news to her husband, Marco. They had only eight pesos, about US$1, and the Manila hospital was 210 miles away. Erma and Marco borrowed some money and they then hitched a ride to Manila with an uncle in a borrowed truck. 5 Doctors at the hospital identified Caesar s problem: thalassemia, a genetic disorder that disrupts the production of haemoglobin and causes severe anaemia. The long words meant nothing to Erma, but she understood what the doctors said next: There is no cure for the disease There is nothing we can do except give your son blood transfusions whenever his haemoglobin count falls dangerously low, they told her. However, there would be complications. Iron, an essential ingredient for the formation of haemoglobin, would build up in Caesar s body because of the frequent transfusions, slowing down his growth and eventually damaging his heart, liver and endocrine system. Patients with severe thalassemia rarely lived beyond their teens. 7 Don t worry, Erma told Caesar as they boarded a crowded bus for the long ride home. God will take care of us. In the privacy of her own thoughts, she was less certain. 8 Every six to twelve weeks for the next few years, Erma and Caesar made the 420-mile round trip to Manila for life-saving blood transfusions. Erma begged for passes from the National Railway and a bus company. One day, she walked for hours to Malacanang, the presidential palace. Her pleas to a palace secretary earned her a red card that allowed free laboratory tests for Caesar at government hospitals. 9 All across Manila, Erma knocked on doors and stood in hallways. Word of her quest touched the heart of a newspaper editor. Caesar is not even aware that death is coming closer to him, read a story on June 15, The newspaper also published a picture of Caesar looking sad and pitiful

13 10 A television celebrity who read about Caesar s illness visited Caesar in the hospital, bringing him gifts and helping his mother with money for expenses. Another lady who was a secretary in a government department was moved too. She helped Erma to find a job in the tax office near her home. 11 Two years later, Caesar s health worsened. Doctors at the Philippine General Hospital considered removing his spleen, but he was too tiny and weak. Watching her son suffering on a hospital bed, Erma decided to write to the president of the United States to ask for help. 12 Finally, in late 1993, Erma received a letter from a children s hospital in Memphis, Tennessee informing her that the hospital was willing to treat Caesar for free, and could provide air transportation within the United States as well as accommodation in Memphis. The excited Erma contacted her celebrity friend who arranged free airplane tickets for the mother and son. In the summer of 1994, their plane touched down in the USA. Caesar, almost 20, was just over four feet tall but his spirits were high as he and his mother walked into the children s hospital (Adapted from Reader s Digest, July 1998) 26 (a) From paragraph 1, what did the patient think would happen to him?

Using your own words, give a reason to support your answer [2 marks] 10

16 Section D [25 marks] 32 Read the following stanzas of The Road Not Taken and answer the questions that follow. Two roads diverged in a yellow wood, And sorry I could not travel both And be one traveller, long I stood And looked down one as far as I could To where it bent in the undergrowth; Then took the other, as just as fair, And having perhaps the better claim, Because it was grassy and wanted wear; Though as for the passing there Had worn them really about the same, And both that morning equally lay In leaves no step had trodden black. Oh, I kept the first for another day! Yet knowing how way leads on to way, I doubted if I should ever come back. (a) I shall be telling this with a sigh Somewhere ages and ages hence: Two roads diverged in a wood, and I - I took the one less travelled by And that had made all the difference. What do the two roads represent? Robert Frost.... [1 mark] (b) From the second stanza, which word suggests that one road had not been used much?.
