Section C

Questions 26 31 are based on the following passage.
The passage below describes how Erma Mata struggled to get treatment for her son.
Read the passage carefully and answer the questions that follow.

1
2

Momma, Im going to die, the boy whispered, lying on his bed in the
childrens ward of the Philippine General Hospital.
No, darling, youll be okay, his mother murmured, stroking his brow.
Erma Mata and her husband had spent everything they had to get help for the
old, incurable blood disease that was eating up their sons body. Nearly nine years
Caesar Mata weighed 30 pounds and stood three feet two inches tall. Doctors had
given him only a few more years to live.
Caesar had always seemed small for his age. His stomach was bloated out
of proportion to his tiny arms and legs, and sometimes he had problems urinating.
But he never complained. Like his mother Erma, Caesar was quiet and
determined .Then, after his fourth birthday in 1978, the boy grew sickly pale.
You must take him to a Manila hospital right away, a local doctor warned Erma.
That night, Erma cried as she broke the news to her husband, Marco. They
had only eight pesos, about US$1, and the Manila hospital was 210 miles away.
Erma and Marco borrowed some money and they then hitched a ride to Manila
with an uncle in a borrowed truck.
Doctors at the hospital identified Caesars problem: thalassemia, a genetic
disorder that disrupts the production of haemoglobin and causes severe anaemia.
The long words meant nothing to Erma, but she understood what the doctors said
next: There is no cure for the disease.
There is nothing we can do except give your son blood transfusions
whenever his haemoglobin count falls dangerously low, they told her. However,
there would be complications. Iron, an essential ingredient for the formation of
haemoglobin, would build up in Caesars body because of the frequent
transfusions, slowing down his growth and eventually damaging his heart, liver
and endocrine system. Patients with severe thalassemia rarely lived beyond
their teens.
Dont worry, Erma told Caesar as they boarded a crowded bus for the long
ride home. God will take care of us. In the privacy of her own thoughts, she was
less certain.
Every six to twelve weeks for the next few years, Erma and Caesar made
the 420-mile round trip to Manila for life-saving blood transfusions. Erma begged
for passes from the National Railway and a bus company. One day, she walked
for hours to Malacanang, the presidential palace. Her pleas to a palace secretary
earned her a red card that allowed free laboratory tests for Caesar at
government hospitals.

All across Manila, Erma knocked on doors and stood in hallways. Word of
her quest touched the heart of a newspaper editor. Caesar is not even aware that
death is coming closer to him, read a story on June 15, 1979. The newspaper also
published a picture of Caesar looking sad and pitiful.
A television celebrity who read about Caesars illness visited Caesar in the
hospital, bringing him gifts and helping his mother with money for expenses.
Another lady who was a secretary in a government department was moved too.
She helped Erma to find a job in the tax office near her home.
Two years later, Caesars health worsened. Doctors at the Philippine
General Hospital considered removing his spleen, but he was too tiny and weak.
Watching her son suffering on a hospital bed, Erma decided to write to the president
of the United States to ask for help.
Finally, in late 1993, Erma received a letter from a childrens hospital in
Memphis, Tennessee informing her that the hospital was willing to treat Caesar for
free, and could provide air transportation within the United States as well as
accommodation in Memphis. The excited Erma contacted her celebrity friend who
arranged free airplane tickets for the mother and son. In the summer of 1994, their
plane touched down in the USA. Caesar, almost 20, was just over four feet tall but
his spirits were high as he and his mother walked into the childrens hospital.

He Had Such Quiet Eyes
He had such quiet eyes
She did not realise
They were two pools of lies
Layered with thinnest ice
To her, those quiet eyes
Were breathing desolate sighs
Imploring her to be nice
And to render him paradise
If only shed been wise
And had listened to the advice
Never to compromise
With pleasure-seeking guys
Shed be free from the hows and whys
Now heres a bit of advice
Be sure that nice really means nice
Then youll never be losing at dice
Though you may lose your heart once or twice

Nature
We have neither Summer nor Winter
Neither Autumn nor Spring.
We have instead the days
When the gold sun shines on the lush green canefieldsMagnificently.
The days when the rain beats like bullet on the roofs
And there is no sound but thee swish of water in the gullies
And trees struggling in the high Jamaica winds.
Also there are the days when leaves fade from off guango trees
And the reaped canefields lie bare and fallow to the sun.
But best of all there are the days when the mango and the logwood blossom
When bushes are full of the sound of bees and the scent of honey,
When the tall grass sways and shivers to the slightest breath of air,
When the buttercups have paved the earth with yellow stars
And beauty comes suddenly and the rains have gone.
H.D
Carberry
