The consumption of foods high in fat, sugar and salt- combined with increasingly sedentary
lifestyles - is worrying health experts. And it is killing us. Diet-linked diseases - chiefly heart disease,
cancer, diabetes and hypertension, now account for more than half of all deaths in Arab countries. In
Barbados, more than 60 percent of hospital and drug-service budgets go toward coping with obesity-
related illnesses. In Chinese hospitals, the number of patients suffering from weight-related diseases
has increased by 30 percent. The problem is so pervasive that the World Health Organization has
declared obesity a global epidemic.
In many places, obesity and related illnesses such as diabetes are growing fastest among
children and teenagers. These may be because those groups are more vulnerable to the excesses of
their new found liberation. Teenagers from rich homes have cars can go to restaurants with their
friends, and consume high-fat fast food. Nutritionists also blame food marketing and the proliferation
of supermarkets for the rise in childhood obesity. Ultimately, diabetes is incurable. Although changes
in diet and lifestyle can help stem the progression of the disease,it never disappears. Most patient are
on insulin a decade after diagnosis. The best long-term hope for reversing the trend is for society to get
its weight problems under control.

UFAHAMU (ALAMA 15)
Kutokana na malalamishi ya mara kwa mara kuhusu uamuzi viwanjani nchini, Mitambo ya teknolojia ya
Kusaidia Uamuzi (VAR) katika ligi zetu, hasa kwenye Ligi kuu ya Kenya (FKF-PL) inahitajika kwa dharura.
Ligi hii inapaswa kuwa miongoni mwa 10 bora Afrika ili kuvutia wachezaji wazri kutoka nje ya bara hili,
lakini uamuzi duni imedidimika, itasaidia kupunguza makosa ambayo yamekuwa yakitokea mara kwa mara.
Tumeshuhudia mabao yakiingia na kuhesabiwa baad aya waamuzi kuamuru yawe mabao. Lakini baada ya
kutazama picha za marudio, baadhi yao yanabatilishwa. Hapa, teknologia itasaidia kupunguza visa hivi ili washindi
wapate haki yao.
Tumeshuhudia waamuzi na wasaidizi wao wakishtuka mpira umeanza haraka na bao kufungwa katika hali
hiyo, lakini picha za marudio zinaonyesha yaliingia kinyume cha kanuni zilizowekwa.
Tutakubaliana kwamba, duniani kuna mabadiliko yametokea katika nyanya mbalimbali na FKF inapaswa
kuelewa kwamba mambo mengi yameanza kuendeshwa kwa usasa ambapo karibu kila kitu kinakumbatia
teknolojia. Teknolojia imegusa karibu kila fani ya maisha ya binadamu na hakuna anayeweza kuhepa. Hali hii
imeshika kiasi katika kila jambo ndiposa FIFA ikaamua kuleta VAR kusaidia katika uamuzi uwanjani, mbona
hatujaanza.
Vifaa vya teknolojia vimesaidia katika mambo katika sekta mbalimbali ikiwemo michezo kwa ajili ya
kupata mafanikio katika sekta hiyo. Sio tu kwa ajili ya kubaini udhaifu wa waamuzi wetu katika soka, bali kuvutia
wawekaji kufanikisha mchezo huu.
Tunahitaji wawekezaji waje wasaidie timu zetu, lakini lazima tuonyeshe timu Fulani haipendelewi kama
ilivyo sasa kwenye ligi zetu. Wawekezaji wanapovutiwa na uendeshaji wa mradi popote pale, mafanikio ya haraka
hupatikana na kubadilisha maisha ya wahusika.
Maswali
1. Mitambo ya teknolojia ya kusaidia uamuzi (VAR) Katika Ligi Kuu ya Kenya inahitajika kwa dharura.
Thibitisha. (ala 2)
2. Kwa nini Ligi Kuu ya Kenya inapaswa kuwa bora miongoni mwa mengine barani Africa.
5. Kwa mujibu wa kifungu, toa sababu ya FKF kushirikiana na serikali ili kuleta VAR mapema nchini. (ala 3)
KISWA F4 Page 2 of 6
6. Toa maana ya maneno yafuatayo kulingana na kifungu. (ala 2)
i) Mafanikio
ii) Wawekezaji
Ukitaka kufaulu maishani lazima ujue kuwa una kazi kubwa sana inayokungoja. Baada ya kukabili vilivyo
kazi hiyo kwa kutumia nyanya mbali mbali utayaimarisha maisha yako. Karibu kila mtu aaliyestawi amepitia
katika vikwazo vingi tena vya kutatiza kuliko vikwazo wanavyovipita vijana wa kisasa. Vijana wote wanatakiwa
saa wasugue bongo zao sawasawa watende mambo mengi mazuri kuliko wanayoyaona. Wasitosheke nay ale
yaliyotendwa na wazee wao. Kila kijana iwapo atakuwa na moyo kama huo nchi zote zitaendelea kwa kasi.
Kwa kujisaidia katika kujiendeleza, yafuatayo yanafaa kuzingatiwa vijana wanatakiwa wawe watotowenye
kuelewana na wazazi wao ambao watawaelekeza vyema kitabia na wakiwa ni wazazi waelewe, watawapa watoto
wao maelekezo na radhi ambavyo ni bora kuliko mali. Watoto wenyewe wajue wanataka nini, wawe na malengo
katika maisha yao na wakazanie kupata kile wanachokitaka bila kutaka tama, watie bidii katika kila wanalifanya,
wapande kusoma bila kulazimishwa kwani kusoma kwa kulazimishwa hampi mja amani. Kutaka kushurutishwa ili
asome ni sawa na ng’ombe apelekwaye mtoni kunywa maji naye akifika mtoni akatae kunywa maji. Mtoto
mwenyewe anatakiwa ajitafutie na anue kuwa hasara ni yake asipofanya bidii na ajiamshe kifikira, motto huyu
asiridhishwe na kupokea vitu vidogodogo, kamwer na asiwe mwenye tama wala kumtazama kupewa zawadi kama
peremende na hela kila. Lazima ajue kuwa kupewa au kutopewa ni mamoja. Aelewe hali yao, wazazi wakiwa na
kitu cha kumpa aone kwamba ni sawa! Wakiwa hawana pia aone kuwa ni sawa. Mtoto anatakiwa kuwa muelewe.
Anatakiwa awe na ile fikira ya kujitafutia. Hata kama anatoka katika aila yenye utajiri azoee kutafuta ili
ikiwezekana atajirike hata zaidi. Asitegemee cha ndugu kwani huenda akafa akiwa maskini. Kidogo chako
ulichokitolea jasho ni bora kuliko kikubwa cha mwenzio.
Vijana wanatakiwa kuwa na nidhamu ya kiwango cha juu popote walipo, wawe ni watu wa kijamii wasikate
tama eti kwa ajili masomo ni magumu bali wakazane kutafuta jinsi ya kuyarahisisha ili kuyaelewa, hatimaye,
watayamudu na wafanikiwe maishani. Yafaa vijana waelewe kuwa hakuna kizuri kinachopatikana kwa urahisi,
daima dawamu wakumbushwe umuhimu wa kuwaheshimu watu na wakati. Wasidharau walimu au wenzao,
wasipoteze wakati wao kusengenya, wapuuze wanaowanyanyasa, wasingatie hata neno moja la kuwaudhi
wanaloambiwa na watoto waovu. Vijana wawe tayari kukosolewa na kuomba msamaha wa makosa yao.
Wanapaswa wawe ni watu wanaowaelewa wenzao na kuchukuliana vyema nao, wawadhamini wengine kwa vile
walivyo. Wasidhamaini vitu vya anasa kupita inavyostahili, kama maisha ya starehe au mavazi ya kitajiri. Watoto
wengi wasio na chochote wanaopuuza mambo ya anasa ndio wanaofaulu pakubwa katika maisha. Wenye tamaa
hawafaulu kwani huishia kuwa wezi kwa kuwa na hamu na kujipatia vya mwosho wakajipatia gerezani.
Maswali.
