correct answer to each of the blanks from 46 to 50

Vietnam’s capital on Sunday kicked off celebrations leading up to its 1,000th birthday in 2010,
when Hanoi hopes to have its historic heart recognized as a UNESCO world heritage site. Traditional
artistic shows, parades and a photo exhibition rang in festivities before Hanoi was set to start a 1,000day countdown at midnight on a large digital clock placed next to its landmark Hoan Kiem Lake.
Bells in the city’s Buddhist pagodas and Christian churches were due to ring at the stroke of midnight
(17:00 GMT Sunday) to mark the event across the northern city on the Red River, authorities said.
Students volunteers were sweeping streets and citizens were urged to do their part on a banner that
read: “1,000 days for a green, clean and beautiful capital, toward the 1,000 year celebration of Thang
Long-Hanoi.”

Hanoi was chosen as the capital of the Dai Viet kingdom, now Vietnam, in the autumn of 1010 by
founding king Ly Thai To, who named the city Thang Long, or Ascending Dragon, marking the end
of a millennium of Chinese rule.
The exact date chosen for Hanoi’s official 1,000-year birth-day in 2010 is October 10, the day
revolutionary troops under Ho Chi Minh liberated Hanoi in 1954, ending French colonial rule in the
15 Southeast Asian country.
Heritage expert William Logan has written that Hanoi has been recognized as “one of the great
heritage townscapes of Asia,” with elements of its Chinese and Vietnamese feudal past, the French
era and Eastern bloc influences.
