Read the passage and choose the correct answer A, B, C or D to each of the questions.
READING 1. 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.
Question 1: In the past, _________.
A: Vietnamese couples were free to make a decision on the marriage
B: Vietnamese marriage was decided by parents and family
C: getting married at an early age was not allowed
D: parents had no right to interfere their children's marriage

engagement or marriage was not_________.

A: Most young people do not have their marriage based on love.
B: All marriages are arranged by parents and family.
C: Marriage is quite westernization.
D: Couples do not get married at quite young ages.
Question 4: According to the passage, __________.

READING 2.. A smart board is an interactive whiteboard. It can be connected to one or more laptops,

PCs, tablets, or other electronic devices. Smart boards are extremely useful in a classroom because they
can engage students, provide interactive opportunities that a traditional whiteboard, blackboard or flip
chart can't, and can also develop students' computer skills along with their English skills. Smart boards
also have touch-screen technology so you do not actually need a computer to access the basic
functionality. You can write on a smart board with special pens which are usually provided with the
board, and anything written on the board can be saved for future reference, or printed out. It is great, for
example, if you are doing a brainstorming session or a mind map with your classmates and you want to
keep a record of it. If you don't want to draw with the pens, you can use a keyboard and type onto a
programme such as Word, and have it appear on the screen for everyone to see. This is great if you are
doing an exercise with your class and you want everyone to be able to see the answers during the
checking stage. You can also run PowerPoint presentations on an interactive whiteboard. These can
sometimes be great for grammar or vocabulary presentations and the advantage of them is that students
can make contributions. If you have the Internet access, you can access websites and put them onto a
white board. This is great in an English classroom if you have online quizzes or games you want to use.

Students can actually come up to the board and select their answers. This involves them directly in the
board work, which they usually love. You can also run video clips or sound files from the Internet, or
some which are saved on your computer. In short, a smart board can make the lessons more varied, and
can give students a more active role in the lesson.

READING 3. The status of women in Japan is complex and cannot be characterized in simple terms.

women continue to work after getting married and having children. However, many companies have
separate programs for women, usually non-career development, and follow practices that would be
considered discriminatory in other societies. For a typical couple, the female spouse is still generally
expected to do all of the cleaning, cooking and other chores, whether she is working or not. Single women

services, recycling activities, study groups, and many others. The traditioal Japanese value of “ good wife,
good mother” is changing.
Unlike other countries where a couple is the usual social unit, in Japan it is typical for only the husband to
