(1.25 pts)
Marriage and family are very important in Viet Nam. In the countryside, parents
often arrange marriages; divorce remains uncommon, though is more frequent in
cities. In traditional Vietnamese families, roles are rigid. The man of the house

is primarily responsible for the family's economic well-being. Older children
help to look after younger siblings. Discipline is viewed as a parental duty.
The woman of the house looks after her parents, husband and children. In rural
areas, women also do much agricultural work. Vietnamese women live by the
"four virtues": hard work, beauty, refined speech and excellent conduct.
The Vietnamese attach great importance to two traditional family obligations: to
care for their parents in their old age and to worship them after death. In each


Vietnamese family, there is at least one altar on which there are the pictures of
their ancestors. Family members worship their ancestors because they think
parents after death will go to live in another world and this altar is the place
where the ancestors' souls live in. As a result, every day Vietnamese people lay
flowers or sometimes fruits on the altar for the belief that those ancestors will
enjoy them.

D. a paper house
51. Why do family members worship their ancestors?
A. because they think parents after death will go to live in another world and this
altar is the place where the ancestors live in.
B. because they think parents after death will go to live in another world and this
altar is the place where the ancestors' souls live in.
