Read the following passage and mark the letter A,B,C or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the
questions
Today, more and more women are actively participating in social activities both in urban and rural
areas. Specifically, they have shined brightly in even many fields commonly regarded as the man's areas such
as business, scientific research and social management. In some areas, women even show more
overwhelming power than men. The image of contemporary Vietnamese women with creativeness,
dynamism, success has become popular in Vietnam's society. The fact reveals that the gender gap has been
remarkably narrowed and women enjoy many more opportunities to pursue their social careers and obtain
success, contributing to national socio-economic development. According to Ms, Le Thi Quy, Director of the
Gender/and Development Research Centre under the University of Social Sciences and Humanities, Hanoi
National University, gender equity in Vietnam has reached a high level over the past decade. The rate of
Vietnamese women becoming National Assembly members from the 9th term to the 11th term increased
8.7%, bringing the proportion of Vietnamese women in authority to 27.3%, the highest rate in Southeast
Asia. There is no big gap in the level of literacy and schooling between men and women. Women account for
about 37% of university and college graduates, 19.9% of doctoral degree holders and 6.7% of professors and
associate professors.
The legitimate rights of women and children are ensured more than ever before with more complete
legal documents including laws, conventions and national action plans, among which the laws on "gender
equity" mark a turning-point in the empowerment of women.

Mass media also highlights the continued success of women in every field and honors their great
importance in modern society, helping to do away with outdated perceptions about traditional women's
duties. Many projects on reproductive health care, children protection, and family income improvement
jointly conducted by various mass organizations, state agencies and non-governmental organizations have
created favorable conditions for women to become involved.

their own field of knowledge and expertise, women like Marie Curie in science, Mary Wollstonecraft
in literary writing, Simone de Beauvois in philosophical existentialist debate, and Marie Stopes, in

medicine, to name a few, have brought about (47) awareness of the role of women in any walks
of life. These women have helped redefine and consolidate the nature of women's place in society.
