( ID: 221319) Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to choose
the best answer for the following 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.
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 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.

( ID: 221346) Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to choose
the best answer for the following questions
Today, The most universally known style of trousers for both men and women is jeans; these trousers are worn

throughout the world on a variety of occasions and in diverse situations. Also called levis or denims, jeans have
an interesting history, one that is intermixed with the derivations of the words jeans, denims, and levis.
The word jeans is derived from the name of the place where a similar style of pants developed. In the sixteenth
century, sailors from Genoa, Italy wore a rather unique type of cotton trousers. In the French language, the
word for the city of Genoa and for the people from that city is Genes; this name became attached to the specific
style of pants worn by the sailors from this city and developed into the word jeans that today describes the
descendents of Genovese sailors' cotton pants.
Similar to the word jeans, the word denim is also derived from a place name. In the seventeenth century, French
tailors began making trousers out of a specialized type of cloth that was developed in the city of Nimes, France,
and was known as serge de Nimes. This name for the cloth underwent some transformations, and it eventually
developed into today's denim, the material from which jeans are made and an alternate name for those popular
pants.
The word levis come from name of a person rather than a place. In the nineteenth century, immigrant Levi
Strauss came to America and tried his hand at selling heavy canvas to miners taking part in the hunt for gold in
northern California. Strauss intended for this canvas to be used by miners to make heavy-duty tents. This first
endeavor was a failure, but Strauss later found success when he used the heavy canvas to make indestructible
pants for the miners. Levi then switched the fabric from brown canvas to blue denim, creating a style of pants
that long outlived him and today is referred to by his name. A modern-day urban shopper out to buy some levis
is searching for a close relative of the product that Strauss had developed years earlier.
