II. READING
1. Read the passage about Glastonbury music festival. Fill each blank in the summary with
no more than THREE words.
Glastonbury is the largest outdoors festival of music and performing arts in the world which each year
hosts some of the biggest and best artists in the world. Located in the Southwestern county of
Somerset on a giant 900-acre farm site in the Vale of Avalon, a place of ancient myths and Kind
Arthur legends, festival goers here can expect enlightenment, rude awakenings, bizarre happenings,
etc. The festival usually takes place on the second or third weekend in June. The site generally
opens on the Wednesday of the festival with impromptu music happening each night until the festival
starts proper on the Friday, running through until the Sunday.
The original festival was by donation of a mere £1 (under $2) which included free milk - as the festival
is still held today on the site of Worthy Farm, a working dairy farm owned by Britain's hippest farmer,
Michael Eavis. Despite the steep admission charges today, profits do go to good causes - in
particular Greenpeace (who sponsor the main Pyramid Stage), Oxfam, Water Aid, and other
humanitarian charities.

2. Read the passage about the practice of ancestor worship in Viet Nam. Match the activities
in A with their status in B. Write your answers in the space provided.

The practice of ancestor worship is relatively straightforward. Nearly every house, office, and
business in Viet Nam has a small altar which is used to commune with ancestors. Incense sticks are
burned frequently. Offerings are made – fruit, sweets, and gifts. The latter items are paper replicas of
dollar notes (‘ghost money’), motorbikes, cars, houses and so on. After worship, the paper gifts are
burnt so that the spirits of the gifts can ascend to heaven for the ancestors to use.
In the past, the income from a plot of land was used to maintain the altar and arrange the rituals,
but this tradition has now faded away. However, the custom that the eldest son will arrange the
ceremonial and inherit the family house upon the death of his parents is still generally observed.
Another traditional element is the placing of wooden tablets on the altar for each of the ancestors
over recent generations. This is less rigorously observed today, and tablets are often replaced by
photographs. Some pagodas house commemorative tablets for ancestors on behalf of regular
worshippers.

1. Your friend in the UK wants to find out about the "Li xi" custom of Viet Nam. Now write an
email (80-100 words) to tell your friend about it.

I want to tell you about the “Li xi” custom in my country. “Li xi” is a little new money put in a
red envelope. Adults often give “Li xi” to children, from the first till the 10th day of Tet Festival,
and when the adults first met the kids.
No one knows exactly when and how the “Li xi” custom began. The custom has been and will
always be popular because it is believed that “Li xi” can bring good luck. I am sure that it brings
great happiness to both the givers and the recipients all time.
