IV. READING
1. Read the passage carefully and choose the correct answer.
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great importance in modern society, helping to do away with outdated perceptions about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.

In the past, both men and women were expected to be married at quite young ages. Marriages
were generally arranged by parents and family, with their children having little chance to say no
in the matter. In the past it was not surprising to find that a bride and groom had only just met on
the day of their engagement or marriage.
In modern Vietnam, this has changed completely as people choose their own marriagepartners based on love, and in consideration primarily to their own needs and wants. Moreover
early marriage is quite illegal.
The traditional Vietnamese wedding is one of the most important of traditional Vietnamese
occasions. Regardless of westernization, many of the age-old customs practiced in a traditional
Vietnamese wedding continue to be celebrated by both Vietnamese in Vietnam and overseas, often
combining both western and eastern elements. Besides the wedding ceremony, there is also an
engagement ceremony which takes place usually half a year or so before the wedding. Due to the
spiritual nature of the occasion, the date and time of the marriage ceremony are decided in advance
by a fortune teller. The traditional Vietnamese wedding consists of an extensive array of
ceremonies: the first is the ceremony to ask permission to receive the bride, the second is the
procession to receive the bride (along with the ancestor ceremony at her house), the third is to
bring the bride to the groom's house for another ancestor ceremony and to welcome her into the
family, then the last is a wedding banquet. The number of guests in attendance at these banquets
is huge, usually in the hundreds. Several special dishes are served. Guests are expected to bring
gifts, often money, which the groom and bride at one point in the banquet will go from table to
table collecting.
1. In the past,
.
a. Vietnamese couples were free to make a decision on the marriage
b. Vietnamese marriage was decided by parents and family
c. getting married at an early age was not allowed

d. parents had no right to interfere their children's marriage

IV. READING
1. Read the passage and choose the best answer for each question.
The American education system requires that students complete 12 years of primary and
secondary education prior to attending university or college. This may be accomplished either at
public or government-operated schools, or at private schools. These 12 years of schooling or their
equivalent may also be completed outside the USA, thus giving foreign students the opportunity
to pursue the benefits of the American education system and obtain a quality American education.
Perhaps one of the most impressive facts is that a large number of presidents, prime ministers and
leaders from other countries have experienced the American education system and graduated from
a university or school in the USA. In many fields and industries, the American education system
offers the most cutting-edge, sought-after programs at the world's best schools. That is why
graduating from an accredited American school and being exposed to the rigors of the American
education system is an investment in your future.
Whether you want to study at a top USA university, a top USA college, a vocational or high
school, a thorough understanding of how the American education system works is essential.
Without a clear grasp of the American education system, an international student will find it
difficult to make the right academic choices. It is no surprise that the American education system
and the American school system host more international students than any other country in the
world!
