Forensic science is defined as the application of science to the law. Forensic scientists are usually involved in

the search for and examinations of physical traces that might be useful in identifying the scene of crime or victim.

Their findings and conclusions are used as evidence in courts of law to solve the crime cases.

Forensic science draws on and brings together many scientific disciplines. DNA testing, microscopy and

spectroscopic analyses are used to conduct chemical tests to identify hair, blood, dirt and cloth fibres.

A forensic scientist may perform many tasks. They can identify illicit drugs, analyse drugs and poison in

human tissue and blood fluids, examine items of human and animal biological materials to be compared with victims

and suspects using DNA profilling. A forensic scientist can also examine drug plants such as cannabis.

To identify whether a document is fake or not, special techniques are used. A case of a house break-in can besolved using forensic science. For example, if the intruder break in without using gloves, traces will be everywhere.

In this situation, a forensic scientist will take samples of finger prints whether at the window, door and so on using

powder and a special duster. These finger prints will be sent to the laboratory for analysis.

Forensic science also includes identifying firearms and ammunition, examining fire and explosion scenes to

establish the origin and cause of explosion, produce reports as well as appear in court and present a scientific opinionon the accident accurately to commit the suspect as guilty and to provide advice to police investigators, scientists

and pathologists across a broad range of disciplines.

Questions 2934Read the passage below carefully. Then, answer the questions that ollow.

Pottery is one the oldest art forms. This art has been practised in all parts of the world

Pottery began as ancient people struggled to find ways to cook, store and carry water, butwent on to a form of art as people began creating vases and dishes for decorative uses.

There are three major types of pottery which are earthenware, stoneware and porcelain.Each of them have their own characteristics on clay mixture and temperature when baking

and firing. Earthenware is a pottery clay mixture that is fired at a lower temperature which

allows the use of colourful glazes but it can crack and chip off more easily than any othertype. Stoneware pottery is made of a heavier clay mixture that gives it greater strength because it has been fired

at a higher temperature. Porcelain is made from koalin, a fine white clay that is mixed with controlled amounts

of feldspar and then fired at a low temperature. It is the purest and the most delicate type of pottery.

Pottery making is classified into two categories i.e easy and hard. The easy pottery is when the object isshaped with wet clay first and then hardened by baking. It includes both decorative and practical items such as

bowls, vases, dishes and lamps. For the harder types, it is made of baked clay. It includes valuable works of art,inexpensive dinnerware, vases and other simple household items which are made by professional potters.

Pottery making involves four steps. They are preparing the mixture, shaping the clay, decorating and

glazing the item and firing. Different temperatures give the pottery different strength and appearance.

Lifes Brief Candle

To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,

Creeps in this petty pace from day to day

To the last syllable of recorded time,

And all our yesterdays have lighted fools,

The way to dusty death. Out, out brief candle!

Lifes but a walking shadow, a poorplayer.That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,

And then is heard no more; it is a tale

Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,

Signifying nothing.

D Jamal did not like his wife

Jamal met a friend who suggested obtaining a personal loan. Again Jamal saw fresh hope. Jamal went to the

bank. The loan officer was most helpful and he said Jamal could borrow RM5000.00. Five thousand ringgit!

Jamals heart leapt sky-high. Thats it! All his problems are solved. But, wait Jamal! Theres a catch. Look atthe loan repayment scheme, its RM500.00 for the first month and RM400.00 every month henceforth. Jamalsheart sank. With his miniscule salary he couldnt even buy cucumbers with the money left over after the

repayments. He cannot imagine his beautiful wife eating cucumbers every day. Besides, there might be little

Jamals very soon and he didnt think they too, could thrive on cucumbers. Jamal said goodbye to the BankBumiputera officer but took his RM70.00 out from the savings account. He gave it to his mother.

Your response should be:

in not less than 50 words in continuous writing (not note form)

Dear Jamil,

I was shocked to discover that a good friend of mine is down with dengue fever. So, I decided to pay him a visit in the hospita

Armed with a packet of grapes, I made my way to the ward. I was shocked as I saw some of the residents from my neighbourhood i

the same ward. Obviously, they too were down with dengue fever.

I spoke to my father who is the chairman of the Happy Gardens Residents Association about the dengue menace. He called th

residents for a meeting that night. The residents agreed to have a cleanliness campaign to rid the residential area of the Aedes mosqui

which is the carrier of the dengue fever.

That Saturday morning, the residents worked together to clear the area of receptacles that can store water. This is because th

mosquitoes lay eggs in clean and stagnant water. Some of the residents cleared the weeds and dried leaves that clogged the drain. Som

men cut the grass and cleared broken pots as they are excellent breeding grounds.

That night, a health inspector gave a talk on how to avoid the dengue fever. He reminded us that the mosquitoes are active a

dawn and dusk. So, he reminded us to close our windows and doors at these times. He also asked us to spray insecticide at this time t

kill the existing mosquitoes in the house. We were also reminded to lit mosquito coils to keep the mosquitoes at bay. Another goosuggestion will be to sleep under a mosquito net.

Well, I hope that you will adhere to these tips to keep the menacing dengue fever at bay.

Dear Sir,

On behalf of the residents of Taman Bahagia, I would like to shed some light on the plight of the residents here. Our

once peaceful residential area has now become ajoint for road tormentors.

2. All is well by day but come midnight, the broad and well-maintained roads are terrorized by unruly teenage

motorcyclists. These teenagers not only put their lives at stake but the lives of innocent road users who ply this road

on their way home. They are so bold that they harass and torment other road users. Just yesterday, a lady driver with

a child on board had a scare of her life when a group of teenage motorcyclists surrounded her car. They hurledstones at the car, breaking the rear mirror. They grabbed her handbag and took out her cash and cell phone. They

even threatened to harm the child if she did not give her jewellery. They reminded her not to lodge a police report if

she treasured her childs life.3. I urge you to investigate this matter urgently as the lives of the residents of this residential area are at stake. I

insist that you send patrol cars to patrol the area especially at midnight. Hopefully, they will be deterred by the mere

presence of the law.

Thank you.

Yours sincerely,Ramlah

I will arise and go now, and go to Innisfree,

And a small cabin built there, of clay and wattles made,Nine bean-rows will I have there, a hive for the honey bee

And live alone in the bee-loud glade.

And I shall have some peace there, for peace comes dropping slow,

Dropping from the veils of the morning to where the cricket sings;

There midnights all a glimmer, and noon a purple glow

And evening full of the linnets wings.

I will arise and go now, for always night and dayI hear lake water lapping with low sounds by the shoreWhile I stand on the roadway, or on the pavements grey,

I hear it in the deep hearts core.

Questions 3840Read the extract from the short story The Pencilbelow carefully.

38 Why did Zahid suddenly feel sad?

A Because he remembered his red pencil which was stolen by Dolah

B Because the children scared him

C Because he did not have enough money to buy a red pencil

D Because his grandmother had scolded him

39 Why did Zahid buy a pocketknife?

A To sharpen his pencil

B To help his grandmother with the household chores

C To protect himself from bullies

D To keep himself save from Dolah

40 Zahid is responsible for the following incidents below, except

A pulled out the ferns and bean plants

B sliced up the preserved centipedes and snakes

C dumped oil into the pond near his class

D dumped oil into the aquarium

That afternoon Zahid asked his grandmother for some money. He told her it was for a book, but when hearrived at the store, his eyes caught hold of a long, red pencil. Suddenly, he felt sad again and tears rolled

down his cheeks.

No longer did he need a book, or a pencil, or even a ruler. None of those things could help him the most.At last he spotted it- a three inch pocketknife under the glass counter. He bought it right away.

The knife would be just what he needed to keep Dolah away from him. And he might even get more useout of the knife than the pencil. Children are scared of knives, so he would make the blade as sharp as hecould.

He continued going to school, but not to study. His primary victims were children smaller than himself.

He would laugh when they let out a cry or a scream.

He dumped oil into the aquarium on the class nature table, pulled out the ferns and bean plants and thensliced up the preserved centipedes and snakes.

of doing it! A concave mirror was placed on a wood and it was kept under the sunlight until it caughtfire. Amazing, isnt it?

34 The passage emphasizes the strong

between man and animal.

A aloofness

B attachment

C detachment

D indifference

We have often been told that a dog is a mans best friend. Most of us tend to shrug it off as mere nonsense.However, there is some truth in this adage.

A farmer named John Gray lived in Edinburgh with his small-sized shaggy dog, Timmy. They were very close

and wherever they went, they went together. It was a tradition that every Saturday, the farmer would go for his lunch

at a nearby inn. The dog would join the master for lunch at the inn. John would eat a simple lunch while the dog

would be given a bone.

A few years later the farmer died. The owner of the inn was puzzled to see Timmy at the inn. It looked

pleadingly at the owner. Feeling pity, he gave the poor dog a bone. The dog took the bone and ran away.

This routine followed for the next few days. One day, the curious owner decided to follow the dog. He was

amazed to see the faithful dog making a beelinetowards the graveyard. It placed the bone near John Grays graveand sat lovingly beside it. The inn owner was touched by the dogs faithfulness towards its master. As winter was

fast approaching, the inn owner decided to make a shelter for the dog near its masters grave. He would also providea bone a day for the dog.

10 years later, the inn owner came as usual to give the dog a bone. He was shocked to see the dog dead. He

quickly buried the dog near its master. Undeniably, a dog is a mans best friend.

The Lake Isle of Innisfree

I will arise and go now, and go to Innisfree,

And a small cabin built there, of clay and wattles made.

Nine bean-rows will I have there, a hive for the honey bee

And live alone in the bee-loud glade.

And I shall have some peace there, for peace comes dropping slow,

Dropping from the veils of the morning to where the cricket sings;

There midnights all a glimmer, and noon a purple glow

And evening full of the linnets wings.I will arise and go now, for always night and day

I hear lake water lapping with low sounds by the shore

While I stand on the roadway, or on the pavements grey

I hear it in the deep hearts core.William Butler Yeats

Well, that leaves just RM430.00 to be raised. Wait a minute, what if he could save on the bunga telur. After all,they were just hard-boiled eggs. They could boil a lot of eggs which were dirt cheap if bought from the Department

of Agriculture and then they could be handed around on trays. He tried to sell his ideas on the bunga telur to the

womenfolk. His sister glared at him.

And how would peopleknow its the bunga telur for your wedding?

Well, countered Jamal, thats no problem. Well stick sticky labels on them. His sister rolled her eyes indisbelief and smacked her hand on her forehead. Jamal thought that meant dismissal. Those bunga telur could be

quite expensive. He had another brilliant idea which he recounted to his sister.

How about if you distribute Hacks sweets instead of hard-boiled eggs? His last idea was really the last strawfor his sister.

Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to todays section of Being a Good Consumer. There are a few tips toadhere when you are selecting fish. The fishmonger will always assure you that the fish he sells is the freshest.

However, as a sensible consumer, do not be swayed by his sweet talk. Instead learn how to recognize fresh fish.

You will first have to look at the physical appearance. The eyes of a fresh fish will be intact. You will find that

the cornea is shiny and the eyeballs are visible. So, make sure you look at the eyes to ensure its freshness. The next

thing to look out for is the gills. The gill of a fresh fish is firm. Then, lift the gill. A fresh fish has slimy and well

formed gill. If you hold a fresh fish in your hands, it should be firm. Similarly the fins, tail and scales should be firm

and neat.So, ladies and gentlemen, the next time you buy a fish, remember these tips to be a smart and wise consumer.

Thank you.

Adapted from NST, 13/6/09

Is the tomato a fruit or vegetable? Of course, it doesnt really matter very much which it is, since we use it inthis country as a vegetable. A fascinating thing about this question is that the Supreme Court of the United States

actually had to decide what tomato is!

Botanically, tomato is a fruit. There can be no question about that. But it is used in soups, sauces and ketchup,

and in many other ways in the main part of the meal. So, for purposes of trade, the Supreme Court in 1893 classified

the tomato as a vegetable!The tomato originated in its wild form in South America in Peru, Ecuador and Bolivia. Long before

Columbus went to the new world, cultivated forms of the tomato had already been developed in Mexico. And it is

probable that tomatoes from Mexico were the first ones ever seen by people in Europe.

The first definite description of the tomato in Europe was in Italy in 1554, where it was called pomidoro, or

apple of gold. This means that a yellow type of tomato was the first known in Europe. Before the end of thesixteenth century, tomatoes were being grown in the gardens of England, Spain, Italy, France and the countries ofmid-Europe. But they were considered a sort of curiosity.

By the mid-1700s people in several countries of Europe were using the tomato as food and the first person togrow it in the United States was Thomas Jefferson, in 1781. But many people considered the tomato to be poisonous.

It wasnt until about 1900 that it became popular for eating.The tomato plant is a relative of the potato and tobacco plants. It needs a long growing season and light, rich,

well-drained soil. In northern Europe and the northern United States it is often grown in hot-houses during the

winter. Winter tomatoes are picked while green and shipped to northern markets. They ripen on the way to market.

Lifes Brief Candle

To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,

Creeps in this petty pace from day to dayTo the last syllable of recorded time,

And all of our yesterdays have lighted fools

The way to the dusty death. Out, out brief candle!

Lifes but a walking shadow, a poor player,

That struts and frets his hour upon the stageAnd then is heard no more; itis a tale

Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,

Signifying nothing.

William Shakespeare

Questions 3840Read the extract from the short storyHow Dalat Got Its Name below carefully.

38 Why did the men refuse to carve a pole for Umat?

A Because did not have enough land to bury Umats body

B Because Umats body splitted into pieces

C Because his body had been eaten by flies

D Because Umat brought enemies to attack and kill his villagers

39 The sentence Galau thought about this, hiding his face with his hands, tells us that Galau was mostprobably

A sympathetic

B unforgiven

C grief-stricken

D frustrated

40 What attracted the flies to the village?

A Umats death

B The smelly street

C The river

D The smell of death

But the men disagreed. Chief, they said, your kindness is too great. This man was your brother and your late

fathers son. This is why he should never have gone against you the way he did. He should not have brought ourenemies here to attack and to kill many of our friends. You can mourn him if you like, but we will not carve a pole for

him.Brother, I think they are right, Lutong said gently. Poor Umat was our brother, but he does not deserve a

memorial pole. Let us just mourn him in our hearts.

Galau thought about this, hiding his face with his hands.

All right, he said at last, cover the poor man with earth and le t no more be said. But one memorial I will give

him. This was once a happy village. Now it is a place of death. Blood was spilt in the village street. The smell of death

is in the air. Black flies are everywhere. I will call this village Dalat, flies, so nobody shall ever forget!

Dear Doctor,

I have been diagnosed as having a severe backache. Can you please give me some tips on how to cope with the

backache?

Laura

Dear Laura,

I am very sorry that you are plagued with this problem. The good news is that you can relieve the pain. Sleep on a firm

mattress as this will keep your back straight. It is also advisable to sleep on your side instead of your back. However, if you

are so used to sleeping on your back, you should use a contour pillow to ensure the spine is straight and reduce the strain on

you back.

It is also advisable not to carry bags on your shoulders as this will aggravate the situation. However, if you do have to

carry a bag, I would recommend a backpack as it has two straps that can be strapped to both shoulders. In this way, the weight

of the back is evenly spread as unequal stress will lead to severe backache.

Finally, try to avoid lifting heavy objects. However, if it is unavoidable, you should bend your knees when lifting as this

will strain your leg muscles rather than your back muscles. This is okay as your leg muscles are stronger than your back

muscles.

If you adhere to these advices, you may be able to relieve your sore back.
