From the 20th to the 21st century, there have been significant changes all over the world.
Substantial differences are evident between the way we live today, and the way we lived a
century ago. Vietnam is no exception although there are some facets of life that still resemble the
way of life of the twentieth century.
Living in Vietnam today differs greatly from the lifestyle of 100 years ago. People in the
past mainly worked in agriculture whereas today there are significantly less people working in
this sector of the economy. These days, by comparison, people are more likely to be employed in
manufacturing and tourism than in the rice fields. Moreover, Vietnam, which was traditionally
agrarian, is transforming into an entirely different country. While agriculture is still an important
component of the Vietnamese economy, other enterprises are accounting for an increasing
amount of economic activity.
However, along with the differences, similarities also exist. The people of Vietnam have
retained many of the characteristics of their forefathers. The Vietnamese people are as friendly
today as they were in the past. This is best exemplified in the way they welcome foreigners to

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 question.
After inventing dynamite, Swedish-born Alfred Nobel became a very rich man. However,
he foresaw its universally destructive powers too late. Nobel preferred not to be remembered as
the inventor of dynamite, so in 1895, just two weeks before his death, he created a fund to be
used for awarding prizes to people who had made worthwhile contributions to mankind.
Originally there were five awards: literature, physics, chemistry, medicine, and peace.
Economics was added in 1968, just sixty-seven years after the first awards ceremony.
Nobel's original legacy of nine million dollars was invested, and the interest on this sum is
used for the awards which vary from $30,000 to $125,000.
Every year on December 10, the anniversary of Nobel's death, the awards (gold medal,
illuminated diploma, and money) are presented to the winners. Sometimes politics plays an
important role in the judges' decisions. Americans have won numerous science awards, but
relatively few literature prizes.
No awards were presented from 1940 to 1942 at the beginning of World War II. Some people
have won two prizes, but this is rare; others have shared their prizes. No awards were presented
from 1940 to 1942 at the beginning of World War 11. Some people have won two prizes, but this
is rare; others have shared their prizes.

A. recognize worthwhile contributions to humanity

The teddy bear is a child's toy, a nice soft stuffed animal suitable for cuddling. It is, however,
a toy with an interesting history behind it.

Theodore Roosevelt, or Teddy as he was commonly called, was the president of the United
States from 1901 to 1909. He was an unusually active man with varied pastimes, one of which
was hunting. One day the president was invited to take part in a bear hunt; and as Teddy was
President, his hosts wanted to ensure that he caught a bear. A bear was captured, and tied to a
tree; however, Teddy, who really wanted to hunt a bear, refused to shoot the bear and, in fact,
demanded that the bear be extricated from the ropes; that is, he demanded that the bear be set
free.

The incident attracted a lot of attention among journalists. First a cartoon drawn by Clifford
K. Berryman to make fun of this situation appeared in the Washington Post, and the cartoon was
widely distributed and reprinted throughout the country. Then toy manufacturers began
producing a toy bear which they called "teddy bear". The teddy bear became the most widely

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 question.
In the Mekong Delta, Long Dinh village of Tien Giang province is famous for its traditional
craft of weaving flowered mats. The mat’s high quality makes them popular domestically, and
they are also exported to markets worldwide including Korea, Japan and America.
In spite of its well-established reputation for this traditional craft, mat weaving only started
here some 50 years ago. It was first introduced by immigrants from Kim Son, a famous mat
weaving village in the northern province of Ninh Binh. However, the technique of weaving
sedge mats in Long Dinh, as compared with other places in the South, is somewhat different.
Long Dinh branded mats are thicker and have more attractive colours and patterns.
Weaving sedge mats is similar to growing rice. Long Dinh mat production mainly occurs
during the dry season, from January to April. Weavers have to work their hardest in May and
June, otherwise, when the rainy season starts in July, they will have to put off finishing their
products till the next dry season. No matter how much work it requires, Long Dinh mat
producers stick with this occupation, as it brings a higher income than growing rice.

Nguyễn Thị Hường K72A2_FOE_Hnue


This trade provides employment for thousands of local labourers. At present, nearly 1,000
households in Long Dinh village live on weaving mats. To better meet market demands, Long
Dinh mat weavers have created more products in addition to the traditional sedge mats.
Particularly, they are producing a new type of mat made from the dried stalks of water hyacinth,
a common material in the Mekong Delta.
Thanks to the planning and further investment, the mat weaving occupation has indeed
brought in more income for local residents. Their living standards have improved considerably,
resulting in better conditions for the whole village.
