Read the following newspaper report and complete the graphic organiser that follows.
KILLER DOGS SHOCK SETTLERS
BESUT: For two months, FELDA Temang settlers have been puzzled over the disappearance of their
livestock at the oil palm plantation in the settlement.
They put the blame on panthers, which had been spotted by hunters at a nearby jungle about a
year ago but it wasn’t the panthers that did the killing.
The settlers were dumbfounded when they discovered that the culprit was a pack of dogs.
The dogs have been attacking cattle, especially calves. So far, some 80 cattle have died, causing
losses of up to RM 50,000.
The settlers are also worried about their own safety. Some 30 of them are staying home for fear of
being attacked by the dogs.
One settler, Zakaria Mat Noor, who witnessed his calf being attacked last week, said he was
afraid that the pack would attack humans. Zakaria, 43, said the dogs should be eliminated at once.
Another settler, Sulaiman Ibrahim, 72, said he lost 12 of his calves to the dogs.
“Our only hope is that the authorities will do something,” he said.

Questions 26 – 30 are based on the following passage.
1 A scrapbook provides an ideal way of preserving personal and

family histories. Enthusiasts claim that scrapbooks quite simply
provide one of the best and most special ways of remembering things
over long periods of time. In the past, making a scrapbook gave any
child a splendid way to spend a rainy afternoon. Filled with old 5
photographs, used tickets, newspaper cuttings, magazine clippings and
postcards, the scrapbook brought together so many different memories
to be cherished all in one place.
2 Today, the scrapbook has grown sophisticated. The new fashion for
scrapbooks began in the USA in the 1980s and spread to Britain in the 10
1990s from where it continues to spread to Europe today. Scrapbooks
have caught on in France like nowhere else. Le Scrapbooking, as the
French call their new pastime, is a far cry from the old-fashioned
activity of arranging family photos together with bits and bobs from
various outings and holidays. In chic Parisian circles, Le Scrap – as 15
smart trendsetters prefer to call it – is all about displaying artistic flair,
expensive taste and a great deal of social one-upmanship.
3 However, the idea of a scrapbook is far from new. The ancient

Greeks first invented scrapbooks that used a kind of notebook called a
“Hypomnemata” to keep records of interesting things that they 20
considered to be significant. Over the centuries, the idea of keeping a
personal record of events and experiences together with cherished
mementos continued in many different cultures. During the 18th and
19th centuries, people from Europe and America often prepared a
personal account or scrapbook of their experiences and travels to show 25
friends and relations. Some of the best-known American scrapbookers
were distinguished public figures such as Thomas Jefferson and Mark
Twain.
4 More recently, the current wave of interest in scrapbooking began

in the 1980s in the USA as a way of embellishing and personalizing 30
family photograph albums. A new craze for the hobby emerged when
schools and hobby classes encouraged people across the generations
to liven up old photograph albums by decorating them with stickers,
stamps, dried flowers, lace and ribbons. In the USA, a leading
scrapbook magazine recently claimed that the hobby is now more 35
popular than golf and is worth over US$ 2.5 billion a year!
20
5 Nevertheless, it is in France that scrapbooking has captured an 40

entire nation’s collective imagination. Relatively unknown before the
1990s, scrapbooking is a completely new social phenomenon in
France. Today, there are about 50 French Internet sites selling
scrapbook material with at least two schools devoted to the hobby and
a large number of workshops held to promote scrapbooking. The 45
hobby appeals to French women in particular and has given rise to the
name “les scrapbookeuses” to describe such enthusiasts. These
scrapbookers meet in their many thousands in the evenings and during
weekends at newly-created associations and clubs all across the
country.
50
6 Why have scrapbooks caught on so massively in France? One
reason may be due to the country’s long history of artistic creation.
Another is the country’s 35-hour working week. This means that
many French workers have more leisure time than their fellows in
other countries. Whatever the reason, le scrapbooking has exploded
over the last three years and is continuing to grow. 55
7 While the Americans and French clearly adore scrapbooks, this

way of collecting and storing memories has a universal appeal to
people of all ages, cultures and interests. Home computing and the
Internet now allow an entirely new generation to enjoy the pleasures 60
of creating their own scrapbooks. No matter what the format of a
scrapbook may be like, all scrapbookers share the joy of creating their
own record of special events or experiences in their lives that they
hope will bring joy and understanding to their descendants for decades
to come.

Read the following stanzas of Sonnet 18 and answer the questions that follow.
Sonnet 18
Shall I compare thee to a summer's day?

Thou art more lovely and more temperate.
Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May,
And summer's lease hath all too short a date:
Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines,
And often is his gold complexion dimm'd;
And every fair from fair sometime declines,
By chance or nature's changing course untrimm'd;
But thy eternal summer shall not fade
Nor lose possession of that fair thou ow’st;
Nor shall Death brag thou wander'st in his shade,
When in eternal lines to time thou grow’st.
So long as men can breathe or eyes can see,
So long lives this and this gives life to thee.
William Shakespeare
