IV/ 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.
Specially, 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 horrors their great
importance in modern society, helping to do away with out-dated perceptions about traditional women’s duties.
Many projects on reproductive health care, children protection, and family income improvement jointly
conducted by various mass organizations, sate agencies and non-governmental organizations have created
favorable conditions for women to become involved.

typical group is led by the biggest and strongest grown-up male gorilla. A silverback's group usually includes
one or two sub-adult males and a few females and their young. Their food includes a variety of plants along
with a few kinds of insects and worms. At night the animals make a nest to sleep in. Many lightweight gorillas
nest in trees. The heavier ones may nest in grasses on the ground. Babies sleep with their mothers at night.
