Youths are introduced to cigarettes by peers or friends. They love to experiment, and being
curious, they tread on forbidden grounds. A mere challenge by a friend can trigger off a
smoking habit just to be accepted into a group of friends. Young people also tend to attach
the macho image to smoking, imitating celebrities who smoke. Therefore, it is important that
famous personalities realise their moral role and become models to inculcate positive habits in
our youths.
5 According to the extract above, it is important for famous personalities to realise their
moral role because
Melaka: Five families celebrated their New Year in grief as they lost all their belongings,
including their homes, in a blaze this morning. The incident that happened at 7.30 a.m.

1 Lahuma sprang to his feet. The voice had a very strange note. Urgent and
desperate. Thrusting his parang into its sheath at his waist, he bounded down to
the swamp, jumping over the clumps and logs that blocked his path.
2 “Jeha! Jeha!” he called.
3 Through the trees he saw his wife standing very still. Her face was deathly 5
pale.
4 “Jeha! Jeha! ” Lahuma called out. His wife did not reply.
5 Lahuma sprang forward. Then he caught sight of a black cobra a metre
away from his wife, its head reared knee high. That yellow-spotted head was
dilated and swaying from side to side like the stem of a wild ginger plant blowing 10
in the wind. At first he thought of grabbing a stick and beating that deadly snake
with it, but he feared the attack would cause it to strike at his wife’s knee.
6 “Don’t move!” he instructed.
7 He studied the cobra’s watchful attitude. It would spring into action the
moment his wife moved. It would strike her knee, or lunge upwards at her body or 15
face.
8 “Don’t move!” he said again.
9 Lahuma waited a long time, but the cobra’s head remained dilated and
swaying. In his heart he began to panic. He remembered an old folk saying: a
black cobra cannot see its prey when its head is fully dilated. But Lahuma could 20
not quite believe that. It seemed impossible that the cobra could not see at that
moment. What if the cobra poison entered his wife’s heart? What of the rice still
unsown; the children at home; the work of planting, of picking up the crabs, of
chasing away the birds when they came? What of all these? Lahuma’s spirit began
to fail him. If that snake poured its poison into his wife’s body, he would lose her, 25
he would lose his right hand.
10 “Don’t move!” he said again.
11 But Jeha was growing faint. Her body swayed a little. A tremor shook her
head, and her face had grown ever paler.
12 “Don’t move your legs! Don’t move!” 30
13 But Jeha seemed to have lost her strength. She forgot everything. Her legs
began to shake; before long she would fall to the ground. Then the cobra would
spring and strike home.
14 Lahuma grew desperate. Slowly he drew out his parang, meaning to hurl it
at the snake; but slowly he returned the parang to its sheath. An error in his throw 35
would just draw blood and drive the snake into furious action. But his wife would
not remain long on her feet. She was trembling more and more violently.
15 And with that yell he hurled himself like a wild wind at the swaying snake.
The cobra lunged but only struck empty air. Lahuma caught hold of its throat and
squeezed with all his might. The rest of the snake’s body coiled round his hand. 40
With his left hand he drew his parang and slashed the cobra to pieces. He pressed
its head to the ground and pounded at it with his right fist till it was crushed into
the earth.
