sugar, almonds and hazelnuts. They further experimenting to make
the liquid to paste. The paste was left to dry and it became chocolate

Question 2
Read the following text. Then, answer questions (a)- (j).
PASSIONFRUIT - This tasty subtropical fruit
is available all year round. Passionfruit is rich in
vitamin A and vitamin C. The seeds are also a great
source of dietary fibre, improving digestion and
preventing constipation. Fibre also makes you feel
fuller faster, which can help with weight control.
Passionfruit grows on vines and is harvested when about three quarters ripe. It will
ripen at room temperature. When buying the fruit, look for passionfruit that is heavy
and firm. If the skin is green, the fruit may not be ripe yet. As the fruit ripens, the skin
will turn red, purple or yellow. Do not let ugly skin scare you off. Even if the skin looks
dimpled or wrinkled, as long as the fruit does not feel too soft, it should be in good
shape.
When the passionfruit is ripe, it can be stored in the refrigerator for about a week,
or pulp can be frozen for up to three months.
Spoon out the pulp and eat it plain, put it on ice-cream or add it to yoghurt. We can
also strain passionfruit pulp, cook it over a medium heat in a saucepan for five minutes.
Then we drizzle it over pavlova.
Here is a tip: we can easily remove the seeds by simply straining the pulp and juice
through a cheese cloth or a non-aluminium sieve.

Every evening Alex goes jogging in a park nearby his house. Last week, he did the same thing
since the weather was fine. He jogged leisurely as he was not in any hurry to go home.
Just as he passed by a huge Casuarina tree, he heard a woman screaming. He stopped
jogging and carefully headed towards the direction of the scream. To his horror, it was a robbery.
He saw a man threatening a woman using a knife. The poor woman looked so frightened as the
man placed a knife near her neck while he was tugging at her back.
Alex knew he had to do something to help the woman. He looked around and saw a pile
of old branches under a tree and noticed a long wooden stick near it. He picked it up and sneaked
towards the man. Before the man knew what was happening, Alex hit him on the head with the
stick.
The man was hurt and shocked. The knife fell off his hands when he held his head as he
cried in pain. The terrified woman saw Alex and quickly ran to his side. Luckily, a couple of joggers
who saw the incident came to Alex’s aid and held back the man. It was not before a police car
arrived at the scene and took the man away.
The woman was very grateful towards Alex for his quick thinking. She wanted to reward
him but he refused as he believed that people should help each other regardless of whether or
not there was a reward at the end of it.

POISONED TALK (by Raymond Wilson)
Who killed cock robin?
I, said the worm,
I did him great harm.
He died on the branch of a withered tree
From the acid soil that poisoned me.
Who killed the heron?
I, mouthed the fish,
With my tainted flesh
I killed tern, duck and drake,
All the birds of the lake.
Who killed the lake?
I, boasted Industry,
I poisoned with mercury
Fish, plant and weed
To pamper men’s greed.
Who killed the flowers?
I, moaned the wind,
I prowl unconfined,
Blowing acid rain
Over field, flood and fen.
Who killed the forest?
I ensured that it died,
Said sulphur dioxide.
And all life within it,
From earthworm to linnet.
