Questions 3340 are based on the following passage.

While riding on a bus one day in 2011, Asha heard the news that a large number of cows in Kampong Tengah were being rounded up and would soon face the butcher's knife. Devastated that such fine animals would be cruelly culled, Asha went to see the cows being held in the stockyards.
was ashamed to see them in such a state. These gentle animals had served humans year after year." Having pity for the cows as they are old, she bought them and founded Cows Home Sancuary on a pasture land in Bagan Datoh.

of bony cows ran towards me, looking helpless," Asha said. "I

Asha starts work each day at 4.00 a.m. She and several workers take the cows to grazing field, gather vegetable waste from the market and tend to any sick and wounded animals. Asha often appears at the town centre dressed like a peasant woman, causing curiosity and ridicule from the locals. She doesn't finish work until l0 at night. "There are times I feel I can no longer cope, but it is worthwhile seeing the cows happy and comfortable. Cows Home Sanctuary is only a shabby place, but the cows are much safer here than being savaged by humans and stray dogs in the street " said Asha. Asha also opns the farm to school groups so the children can see the cows and leam to appreciate and care for the animals.

"Animals deserve the rights to the same protection as humans. They depend on us for their well-being and love us in retum,o'she declared.

Read the poem below and answer the questions that follow.

The River
Valerie Bloom

The River's a wanderer, A nomad, a tramp, He doesn't choose one place To set up his camp. The River's a winder, Through valley and hill He twists and he turns, He just cannot be still. The River's a hoarder, And he buries down deep Those little treasures That he wants to keep. The River's a baby, He gurgles and hurns, And sounds like he's happily Sucking his thumbs. The River's a singer, As he dances along, The countryside echoes The notes of his song. The River's a monster
Hungry and vexed, He's gobbled up trees And he'll swallow you next.

Read the passage and complete the fbllow,ing task. We love shoes and have been guilty of subje,cting our feet to pain because of fashion. We wear shoes that restrict our movements and the heels put pressure of our whole body on the front of our feet. These affect our posture and bone structure. Now, Kybun footwear (also known as Kyboots) is made differently from other shoes. Tlrey arc not just shoes but also health and raining equipment. They are soft and have high spring effect. "We have national athletes who have used these shoes and found them to increase their speed and jumping ability," claims Karl N{uller, the founder of this Swiss foowear.

Kykrots do not wear out easily. Even if they are worn eight hours a day. the soles will not even wear out a milimetre. They also make you feel barefooted and your heels are not grazed.
sound expensive to pay RMl000 for just a pair of shoes but they museles. Some people who want to relax their backs may also want to buy them .
