ï»¿Elia na mzee 
Elia aliishi katika nyumba  ya kifahari mjini Ebiba.  Wazazi wake walikuwa  matajiri.  Elia alikuwa na mbwa  aliyeitwa Chita. Alimtunza  Chita vizuri sana.  
Kila siku, baba alimpeleka  Elia shuleni na kumrudishi  jioni.  Alasiri moja walikuwa  njiani kurudi nyumbani.  Baba alienda katika duka  moja kubwa kununua  bidhaa.  
Elia alimwona mzee  mmoja aliyekuwa  amebaba mzigo mkubwa  mgongoni.  Alikuwa amechoka kwa  hivyo alitembea polepole.  Elia aliendelea  kumtazama.  
Mzee yule aliketi chini ya  mti kisha akafungua  mzigo ule.  Alichomoa chupa mbili za  plastiki akaanza  kuzitengeneza viatu.  
Elia aliwaza juu ya mzee  huyo kwa muda mrefu.  Alihuzunika na wala  hakuweza kufurahia  chakula chake.  Aliwaza, "Nitawezaje  kumsaidia?"  
Aliamua kuchukua baadhi  ya fedha zake. Akamwita  Chita halafu akapanda  baiskeli yake na kuondoka.  Alienda hadi kwenye lile  duka ambako babake  alikuwa amenunua  bidhaa.  
Alinunua vitu vingi  akampelekea yule mzee  na kusema, "Hujambo  babu!"  Mzee alimjibu, "Amani iwe  nawe, mwanangu."  
Elia akamwuliza, "Babu,  unatoka wapi?"  Mzee akamjibu,  "Mwanangu, njaa  imenifukuza kutoka kijijini  kwangu. Nipo hapa  kutafuta ajira."  
Elia alimpatia bidhaa  alivyokuwa amenunua.  Mzee yule hakuamini  alipoviona viatu.  Alimshukuru Elia kwa  moyo wake wote.  
Elia alisema, "Sasa lazima  nirudi nyumbani kabla  mamangu hajaanza  kunitafuta."  Elia na mbwa wake  walipoondoka, mzee  aliwapungia mkono.  Alisema kwa tabasamu,  "Barikiwa, mwanangu."  
Elia alipowasili nyumbani,  mamake alimwuliza,  "Ulikuwa wapi?" Mama  alikuwa na wasiwasi.  Elia alimwambia kila kitu.  Mama alimmwonea  mwanawe fahari kubwa  sana kwa kitendo chake  cha ukarimu.  
Baadaye, baba  alimwambia Elia,  "Tunakujivunia,  mwanangu. Lakini, ni  lazima utuambie kabla ya  kuondoka nyumbani.  Shika hizi hela utumie kwa  sababu ulitumia zako  kumsaidia yule mzee!"

The university was founded in 1410 when a group of Augustinian clergy, driven from the University of Paris by the Avignon schism and from the universities of Oxford and Cambridge by the Anglo-Scottish Wars, formed a society of higher learning in St Andrews, which offered courses of lectures in divinity, logic, philosophy, and law.  St Andrews was the obvious choice - "for centuries, it was the heart of the Scottish church and political activities" and "the seat of the greatest bishopric in Scotland and location of a monastery noted as a centre for learning".  A charter of privilege was bestowed upon the society of masters and scholars by the Bishop of St Andrews, Henry Wardlaw, on 28 February 1411. Wardlaw then successfully petitioned the Avignon Pope Benedict XIII to grant the school university status by issuing a series of papal bulls, which followed on 28 August 1413. King James I of Scotland confirmed the charter of the university in 1432. Subsequent kings supported the university, with King James V of Scotland "confirming privileges of the university" in 1532.

On June 27, 1871 the Meiji government officially adopted the "yen" as Japan's modern unit of currency under the New Currency Act of 1871. While initially defined at par with the Spanish and Mexican dollars then circulating in the 19th century at 0.78 troy ounce (24.26 g) of fine silver, the yen was also defined as 1.5 grams of fine gold, considering recommendations to put the currency on the bimetallic standard. The Act also stipulated the adoption of the decimal accounting system of "yen" (1, ), ' (, ), and ' (, ), with the coins being round and manufactured using Western machinery acquired from Hong Kong. The new currency was gradually introduced beginning from July of that year.

Chipata was formerly known as Fort Jameson (and informally as ""Fort Jimmy""), being named after Leander Starr Jameson, the 19th-century British politician and adventurer. Even during the colonial period, few supported that Jameson, who is mainly known for his part in the infamous Jameson Raid, fully deserved the honour of having any town named after him. Like 'Fort Manning' and 'Fort Rosebery', Fort Jameson was called a ""fort"" because the local government offices, or ""Boma"", were once fortified." 

Question: Bushe kale itauni lya Chipata baleita shani?
Answer: Fort Jameson

MADHARA YA UCHAFUZI WA MAZINGIRA

Mazingira ni vitu vinavyotuzunguka. Kati ya mazingira ni kama miti, mito, majuma na vinginevyo. Madhara ni mambo yanayochafua mazingira.

Uchafuzi wa mazingira umeenea kama moto jangwani. Binadamu huchafua mazingira kwa njia mbalimbali kama vile kufungulia maji taka kunaponyesha, kutupa takataka majini, kukata miti ovyo.

Umwagaji wa maji taka huaithiri mazingira kwa njia tofauti. Kama vile huua viumbe vya maji, huaribiu hewa tunayopumwa. Tunapomwanga maji taka kwenye mito, tunapatwa na magonjwa kama malaria. Tunavyojua maji taka huleta mbu. Kipindupindu pia huletwa na maji taka.

Viwanda pia huathiri mazingira. Vitu visivyotumika viwandani, humwagwa kwenye mashamba na yanaharibu mimea na hewa tunayopumua. Wanaoishi kwenye majumba ya ghorofa, huwa wanategea mvua inyeshe, ili wafungulie hayo maji taka.

Kuna njia tofauti za kuzuia haya yote. Kwanza, tuwache kufungulia maji taka, il tuweze kuzuia kusamba kwa magonjwa yanayoletwa na majitaka. Pili,tusidii kupanda miti, bila miti hatuwezi pata mvua.Tuna hitaji mvua ili mimea yetu isikauke na kuzuia tunakoishi kusikuwe jangwa.

Tatu,tudumishe usafi wa mazingira yetu ili tuepuke magonjwa yanayoletwa na mazingira machafu.Tuhakikishe takataka zinatupwa kwenye pipa la taka na kuchomwa wakati unaostahili.

Question: Umwagaji wa maji yepi huathiri mazingira
Answer: Taka
ASIYESIKIA LA MKUU HUVUNJIKA GUU. 
Juma cha upande ndilo jina alilopewa na wanakijiji cha Mtema kuni. Juma cha upande alizaliwa na bwana na Bi Baraka. Punde tu alipozaliwa, wazazi wake walipatwa na ajali mbaya barabarani walipokuwa kwenye pilka pilka zao za kusaka tonge. 

Baada ya mazishi ya wapendanao, Juma alichukuliwa na kulelewa na nyanya yake. Mbali na uchochule na ufukara Juma hakukosa malezi yaliyostahili. Nyanya alijitahidi kwa udi na uvumba kumfundisha Juma.  

Pindi alipoingia kidato cha kwanza, Juma alijiunga na kundi la vijana wenye tabia mbaya. Akawa mkaidi kama mkia wa mbuzi. Aliwaibia walimu na hata wanagenzi wenzake. Kijijini kote alisifika kwa wizi wa kuku na mbuzi. Nyanza yake alimshauri awache tabia hiyo lakini wapi maneno yake yaligonga mwamba. Walimu na washauri mbalimbali waliitwa kumshauri Juma cha upande lakini nani asiyejua kuna sikio la kufa halisikii dawa. 

Nyanya yake alipoona maji yamezidi unga, alimuachia Maulana. Naye Juma  alijiona gwiji na mbobeaji katika wizi. Yeye na kikundi chake waliamua kuitendea haki benki moja kuu kitongojini pale. Aise mpango ulipangwa ukapangika. Juma cha upande ndiye aliyekuwa mlinda lango. 

Siku iliyongojwa kwa hamu na ghamu hatimaye iliwadia. Mnamo wa saa nane usiku, walilinyemelea jumba la pesa. Kwa bahati nzuri walifanikiwa kuwapa dosi ya kulala walinzi wote. Kwa bahati mbaya wote waliingia ndani kwenye sefu iliyokuwa na manoti mengi sana. Bila Juma cha upande kulinda lango, hawakujua kuwa walinzi wale waliamka. 

Siku za mwizi ni arobaini, zile dawa zilisha nguvu na wale walinzi waliamka. Genge lile liliona cha mtema kuni,   wakaamua miguu niponye. Wenzake Juma cha upande walinusurika lakini Juma cha upande alipigwa risasi na kuanguka mchangani tifu. 

Wasamaria wema walimchukua na kumpeleka hospitalini kwa matibabu. Hakuna msiba usiokua na mwenzake. Mkono na mguu wa Juma cha upande ulikatwa ili kunusuru maisha yake. Alipewa kigurudumu kilichomsaidia  kutembea. Aliporudi nyumbani, alikuta nyanyake kipenzi alikua ameaga dunia. Juma alibubujikwa na machozi asijue afanye nini. Alitamani kurudisha mkondo wa saa nyuma ili ayasikilize mawaidha ya nyanya yake. Hapo ndipo alipogundua kuwa asiyesikia la mkuu huvunjika guu na asiyefunzwa na ninaye hufunzwa na ulimwengu.


Question: Siku za mwizi ni ngapi
Answer: Arobaini

Evelyn Ntoko Mase (18 May 1922 - 30 April 2004), later named Evelyn Rakeepile, was a South African nurse. She was the first wife of the anti-apartheid activist and the future president Nelson Mandela, to whom she was married from 1944 to 1958. Born in Engcobo, Transkei, Mase was orphaned as a child. She moved to Johannesburg to train as a nurse, and there met and married Mandela. Living together in Soweto, they raised four children, three of whom-Thembekile, Makgatho, and Makaziwe-survived into adulthood. She trained to be a midwife while working as a nurse. In the 1950s, her relationship with Mandela became strained. He was becoming increasingly involved in the African National Congress and its campaign against apartheid; Mase eschewed politics and became a Jehovah's Witness. She also accused him of adultery with several women, an accusation endorsed by later biographies, and of being physically abusive, something he always denied. They separated in 1956. She initially filed for divorce, but did not go through with the legal proceedings. In 1958, Mandela, who was hoping to marry Winnie Madikizela, obtained an uncontested divorce from Mase.

Parna alikuwa mvulana  mwembamba mrefu.  Alikuwa katika darasa la  tatu.  Alipenda kuvaa koti refu la  rangi nyeusi. Alipewa koti  hilo na Mjombake, Teteyo.  
Wakati wa likizo, Parna  aliwachunga ng'ombe wa  wazazi wake.  
Siku moja, Parna alikuwa  akiwachunga ng'ombe.  Ghafla, mvua ilianza  kunyesha.  
Wakati huo huo, Cheusi,  ng'ombe aliyekuwa kipenzi  cha babake, alizaa.  Ndama aliyezaliwa  alipendeza. Alikuwa mzuri  kuliko ndama wote ambao  Parna aliwahi kuwaona.  
Parna alifurahi  kuwahudumia Cheusi na  ndama wake. Aliwasahau  ng'ombe wale wengine.  
Aliwaza, "Babangu aliahidi  kunipa ndama ikiwa  atakuwa wa kike."  
Alipokuwa akiwaza hivyo,  alisikia mkono ukimvuta  juu kwa nguvu.  Parna alimwona Mjomba  Teteyo. Alikumbuka na  kuuliza, "Mjomba,  ng'ombe wako wapi?"  
Mjomba Teteyo alimjibu,  "Mamako aliwapata  ng'ombe wote zizini ila  wewe na Cheusi. Aliingiwa  na wasiwasi akanituma  nije nikuchukue."  
Mjomba Teteyo akasema,  "Nitambeba ndama huyu.  Kisha wewe na Cheusi  mnifuate nyuma."  Parna alielezea kwa  msisimko jinsi Cheusi  alivyozaa ndama aliye  mzuri zaidi ya wote.  
Watu wote walifurahi  walipoona kwamba Parna,  Cheusi na ndama  walikuwa salama.  
Parna akamwuliza  babake, "Je, utanipa  ndama huyu kama  ulivyoahidi?"  
"Ndiyo, mwanangu,  ndama huyu ni wako.  Ahadi ni deni."

Ukulima huleteo nchi utajiri na pia kubadilishana kwa bidhaa tofauti na nchi za kigeni. Mfano ni kama nchi yetu ya Kenya huwa na mazao mengi ya kilimo kama vile kahawa na majani chai lakini hatutengenezi simu. Kenya huweza kubadilisha mazao ya kilimo na nchi ambayo hutengeneza simu. 
Hata hivyo, ukulima huchangia pakubwa nchini kwa sababu binadamu na wanyama hawawezi kuishi bila chakula. Sababu ya hiyo, wakulima hupanda mboga kama vile sukuma wiki na kathalika. 
Pia, ukulima una chagamoto zake, kwanza ni wadudu ambao huharibu vyakula shambani na kuharibu mimea.  Pili ni ukosefu wa soko za kutosha za kuuza bidhaa za kilimo. 
Hata hivyo, ukulima ni muhimu sana kwa sababu chakula ni muhimu  kwa binadamu. Sisi sote tunategemea kilimo ili kuweza kuisha maisha bora. 


Question: Nani huharibu vyakula
Answer: wadudu
