correct answer to each of the 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 a 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.

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.
Make Home a Little Nicer
Some people think that if they don’t have a yard, they can’t keep a garden. Fortunately, that’s not true.
For people who live in apartment buildings, there is another option: rooftop gardens.
A rooftop garden is just a garden that you keep on your roof. Rooftop gardens are very popular in
cities. Most building roofs go to waste - people don’t use that space for anything. Putting a garden on
your roof is a nice way to turn an empty space into something that is pretty and relaxing.
Rooftop gardens are not a new idea. About 2,600 years ago, people in Ancient Mesopotamia planted
rooftop gardens. There were similar gardens in Ancient Rome and Ancient Egypt. These gardens had a
very important purpose. Many ancient cities had walls. The enemy army usually tried to destroy the city’s
food, so the people in the city kept their gardens on top of their walls. That way, they could continue to
grow food.
Today’s rooftop gardens don’t keep us alive, but they still have nice benefits. Plants absorb heat, so if
there are a lot of them on a rooftop, they make the whole building cooler. As a result, people in the
building use the air conditioning less, which means they use less electricity. One study said that if every
roof in Tokyo had a garden, the city would save more than one million dollars a day on electricity.
Rooftop gardening is harder than regular gardening. Here are some tips. First of all, be safe. Build a
fence around your garden. You don’t want the wind to blow plants off your roof! Also, remember that
rooftop gardens get more sun. If you have a plant that shouldn’t get too much sun, remember to put it in
the shade sometimes.
There are many other things that you need to know before you start a rooftop garden. Do some
research and then give it a try. You’ll make your little part of the city much nicer.

Câu 43: Why did people in ancient cities have rooftop gardens?
A. They made the cities prettier. B. They helped people save money.
C. They needed them to survive. D. They made the cities cooler.
Câu 44: What can rooftop gardens do for a building?
A. They can make rent in the building cheaper. B. They can make the building cooler.
C. They can make the building safer. D. They can make the building warmer.
Câu 45: What can be inferred for ancient cities?
A. The walls could protect residents during the attacks.
B. Residents lived on food from gardens on top of the walls.
C. Wars occurred in Ancient Rome and Ancient Egypt very often.
D. Rooftop gardens were used for the purpose of decoration.
Câu 46: Why should you build a fence around a rooftop garden?
A. A fence will help you save money. B. A fence will stop the plants from blowing off.
C. A fence will make the plants grow safer. D. A fence will keep the plants cooler.
Câu 47: The word “enemy” in paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to________.
A. assistant B. rival C. friend D. leader
Câu 48: The word “they” in paragraph 4 refers to________.
A. people B. plants C. buildings D. rooftop gardens
Câu 49: The phrase “your little part of the city” in paragraph 6 refers to________.
A. the house B. the living room C. the neighbourhood D. the fence
