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.

D. as long

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the
correct answer to each of the questions.
There's no place in the world quite as famous for its culture as the island kingdom of Great Britain.
With over two thousand years of culture from which to draw, the nation and its people celebrate weddings
with a uniquely elegant sense of poise and class.
A bride's wedding day is often touted as "the happiest day of her life", but in all honesty it's often a
very stressful experience as there are lots of conventions surrounding the whole thing and you can get
caught up in family rows, and trying to please everyone. Still it's a good test of a couple's courage.
When the guests arrive for a wedding the ushers' duty is to hand out the correct books, flowers and
the order of service, they also ensure the guests are seated in the correct places. Traditionally, the side on
which people sit depends on whether they are friends or family of the bride or of the groom. The front rows
are generally reserved for close family or friends, with the very first seats reserved for the bridal party.
However, in many ceremonies the bridal party will remain standing at the altar during the ceremony along
with the bride and groom.
During the ceremony the bride and groom make their marriage vows . Marriage vows are promises
a couple makes to each other during a wedding ceremony. In Western culture, these promises have
traditionally included the notions of affection, faithfulness, unconditionality, and permanence.
Most wedding vows are taken from traditional religious ceremonies, but nowadays in the UK many
couples choose touching love poems or lyrics from a love song revised as wedding vows and some couples

even choose to write their own vows, rather than relying on standard ones spoken by the celebrant.
After the vows have been spoken the couple exchange rings. The wedding ring is placed on the
third finger of the left hand, also called the "ring" finger. The wedding ring is usually a plain gold ring.
After the wedding ceremony, the bride, groom, officiant, and two witnesses generally go off to a side room
to sign the wedding register. Without this the marriage is not legal and a wedding certificate cannot be
issued.

A. The bride’s and groom’s vows in Great Britain.
B. Traditional wedding ceremony in the United Kingdom.

A. as there are lots of conventions between the bride and the groom.
B. due to traditional customs during and after the wedding ceromony.

A. ushers
B. guests
C. books
D. married couples
Question 4: The word “vows” in paragraph 4 is closest in meaning to___________.

B. agreements
C. compromises

A. are conditional on their relationship to the couple
B. are seated by the couple

D. at the altar during the ceremony along with the bride and groom.
