Butterworth: Bird-watchers who had travelled from all over the country to catch a glimpse of a rare migrating bird watched in horror as a giant fish gobbled it down. According to The Sun, the bird-watchers, or 'twitchers ' as they are called, said the 1.6-metre pike gulped the red-necked phalarope in just one bite. "It was like a scene from 'Jaws '. One second the bird was swimming - the next there was a snap and a splash and it vanished," one twitcher reported.

One night, I missed the last bus and didn't have enough cash to take a taxi. With no other choice, I decided to walk the two-kilometre journey home, which would have been fine if I _9_ so tired that day. It also didn't help that the route was pretty rough and dark. But I

During the ride, the driver told me that when he saw me walking, it reminded him 14 his uncle who used to walk to work by the same road and though he often saw his uncle on the way, he had never offered a ride as he was headed in a different direction .

Sadly his uncle passed away due to an illness, and until today he still 15 guilty for not being kinder to his uncle. So when he spotted me walking that night, he just had to stop and help.

Questions 16 - 25 Read the following article and answer the questions that follow.

Everyday Superfruits Even so often little-known fruits are plucked from obscurity to be acclaimed as the latest nutritional miracle. Think acai berry and goji berry. Studies suggest that more readily available fruits have equal or superior powers. Here are some:

1119/2

Apples: French research reveals that two substances found in apples - boron and a flavonoid called phloridzin - may increase bone density and protect against osteoporosis. Other studies suggest that eating apples may greatly reduce the risk of developing cancers of the lung, colon, liver and breast.

Blueberries: One cup ( 1 SOg) of blueberries supplies 24% of your daily vitamin C needs and about 14% of your fibre needs. It also contains vitamin Kand the trace mineral, manganese - all for only 250kJ. Blueberries also contain a diverse group of phytochemicals that help decrease inflammation that leads to chronic diseases. Research has linked them to heart, cognitive and eye health benefits. Raspberries, blackberries and strawberries also qualify for superfood status.

Citrus Fruits: All these fruits are low in kilojoules and packed with helpful nutrients. UK research in 2011 suggested that the flavanones in citrus fruits may protect against stroke and heart disease. Studies also show that a high intake of citrus fruits can reduce the risk of stomach cancer by 28%.

Kiwifruit: This is one of the most nutritionally powerful fruits. A single large kiwifruit contains a day's worth of vitamin C, and is one of the few fruits to contain vitamin E that can prevent dementia. Kiwifruit also offers fibre and potassium.

[25 marks]

Questions 26 - 31 are based on the following passage.

As the train began heading south, the students pulled out the guitars and began to sing 1 and dance in the coaches. She sat in her seat and tried to see the passing landscape

through the dirty windows and darkening night. Around 10 pm, a little more than an hour into the trip, two fri~nds asked her to walk with them to the other coaches to see if they knew any of the students on board. 5

As they went between the coaches, . one friend was in front of her and another behind. The lights overhead were burnt out and it was hard to see. Unknown to Daniela, the

2 walkway that typically covers the gap between the couplings of the coaches was not in place. Her tall friend Diego, with his long legs, could easily step over the opening, but jpt as petite Daniela was following him in the dark, the train went around a large curve 10 and the gap opened even wider.

Daniela took a step and suddenly felt herself falling through the air. To her friends, one minute Daniela was with them and the next she was gone. A passenger having a

3 smoke at the side of the coach said, "Hey, that girl just fell!" Daniela felt as if she was being tugged from side to side. And then as if waking up from a disorienting dream, she 15 found herself lying in the middle of the tracks on a dark night.

She felt no pain, but her hair and something warm and sticky was on her face - blood from a small gash over her left eye. She tried to move her left hand to wipe the hair out of her eyes, but failed to. What she saw sent a shock of horror through her. She was

4 bleeding profusely from the open wounds of two severed arms. She tried to move and 20 for the first time a surge of pain shot through her body. As a medical student she knew she must not panic. She knew her loss of blood must be massive.

Another train could come any minute, she realised. She had to get off the tracks and she had to get help soon or she would die. She saw in the distance the lights of what

5 looked like a petrol station by a highway. Somehow, despite her massive injuries and 25 pain, she was able to lift her back and roll herself off the tracks so that she was lying in the gap between the north and south-bound rail lines. But she could move no farther. She began to scream, "Help me! Please help me!"

By chance, at the moment a farm worker named Morales was enjoying a cigar in the warm night air while having a stroll down the tracks. He had been beside the tracks 30

6 when the train packed with students rattled by. He could hear their singing. A few minutes later he heard Daniela yelling, "Help me." He ran toward her.

"Don't move, I will get help," said the startled Morales. He ran to the public phone at the petrol station. Seeing Morales and hearing his voice, Daniela felt the first wave of

7 hope. But as he ran off and she waited for help to come, she felt her hope slipping 35 away. "I must not lose faith," she told herself. It took just four minutes for the paramedic

team to arrive at the spot where they saw Morales waving his arms between the highway petrol station and the railway tracks. Grabbing his kit, paramedic Solis quickly followed Morales down a pathway to the tracks.

The team worked quickly, staunching the flow of blood with tourniquets on each limb, 40 starting an IV, placing her in a neck brace and putting her on the spinal board. But suddenly they heard a rumbling sound and felt the rails vibrating - another train was coming. They could see the headlight of its engine lighting up both sets of tracks like silver beams. It was not safe to stay beside her, but they didn't have time to lift her out of the way. 45

As the paramedic team darted to' safety just in time, Daniela felt the shaking and buffeting of wind as the train roared almost over her. It seemed to go on forever. As soon as it cleared they ran back to her side, relieved to find that while the wind from the train had moved her a few feet, Daniela survived . ... . :,.
