Exercise 2. Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer
to each of the questions.
THE STORY OF COCA-COLA
Coca-Cola was invented in 1886 by John Pemberton, a druggist living in Atlanta. The original drink
was a type of syrup, using coca leaves, sugar and cola nuts, plus a few other secret ingredients! Pemberton
sold it as a medicine; and with its coca (the source of cocaine), it must have made people feel good!
Nevertheless, Pemberton’s medicine was not very successful, so he sold his secret formula to
another druggist, Asa Candler. Candler was interested, because he had another idea that Pemberton’s
“medicine” would be much better if it was mixed with soda. Candler was thus the man who really invented
the drink Coca-Cola. Candler also advertised his new drink, and soon people were going to drugstores just
to get a drink of Coca-Cola.
Before long, other people became interested in the product, including a couple of businessmen who
wanted to sell it in bottles. Candler sold them a licence to bottle the drink, and very quickly the men
became millionaires. The famous bottle, with its very distinctive shape, was designed in 1916. And the
famous Coca-Cola logo is the most famous logo in the world. Unlike any other famous commercial logos,
it has not changed in 100 years!
During the First World War, American soldiers in Europe began asking for Coca-Cola, so the CocaCola company began to export to Europe. It was so popular with soldiers that they then had to start bottling

the drink in Europe.
Today, Coca-Cola is made in countries all over the world, including Russia and China; it is the
world’s most popular drink.
As for the famous formula, it is probably the world’s most valuable secret! The exact ingredients for
making Coca-Cola are only known to a handful of people. And as for the “coca” that was in the original
drink, that was eliminated in 1903. It was a drug, and too dangerous. Today’s Coca-Cola contains caffeine,
but not cocaine!
1. When was Coca-Cola invented?
A. 1886
B. 1903
C. 100 years ago
D. unknown
2. According to the passage, the original drink made people feel good because it contained ____.
A. coca leaves
B. cola nuts
C. secret ingredients
D. sugar
3. According to the passage, what is NOT true about the formula of Coca-Cola ?
A. It is probably the world’s most priceless secret.
B. It was really invented by the druggist Asa Candler.
C. Its exact ingredients are well known to many people.
D. Its ingredient was changed from cocaine to caffeine.

Exercise 2. 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,
7


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 9 th 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.

Exercise 2. Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer
to each of the questions.
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.

11


In modern Vietnam, this has changed completely as people choose their own marriage-partners
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

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.
