Exercise 7: Reading the passage and choose the best answer
The status of women in Japan is complex and cannot be characterized in simple terms. Slowly, there is
a growing number of professional women and professional women's associations. More women continue to
work after getting married and having children. However, many companies have separate programmes 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 are said to be enjoying their lives,
spending much money on travel abroad and shopping. Housewives are active in networking themselves for
various objectives, for example volunteer activities, community services, recycling activities, study groups,
and many others. The traditional 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 be invited to business gatherings or to weddings for company employees. Exceptions are frequently
made for foreign visitors depending on the occasion, but wives should not take their exclusion as a personal
insult.

Exercise 8: Read the following passage and choose the best answer
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.
1. In the past, _________.
A. parents had no right to interfere their children's marriage
B. getting married at an early age was not allowed
C. Vietnamese marriage was decided by parents and family
D. Vietnamese couples were free to make a decision on the marriage
2. In former days, the fact that a bride and groom had only first met just on the day of their engagement or
marriage was ______.
A. surprising B. uncommon C. strange D. popular
3. Which sentence is referred Vietnamese modern marriage?
A. Marriage is quite westernization.

Page 7 of 14
B. All marriages are arranged by parents and family.

HOUSE HUSBANDS
Dear Editor,
I read with interest the article on American families. In general, I agree with it, but there are some important
things it left out. It didn’t tell the reader much about the life of a househusband. It is not an easy life. I know
because I am now a househusband myself. A househusband has to change many of his ideas and his
ways.
First of all, he has to change the way he thinks about time. Before I was a househusband, I worked full-time
for the New York Times. I was a reporter, and time was always important. We had to finish our articles
quickly and give them to the editor. Everyone was always in a hurry. This is the way many men work too.
Businessmen, lawyers, bankers, and doctors all have to work quickly.
At home, it’s different. The househusband cannot be in a hurry all the time. If you rush around, you will
make everyone unhappy! The children will be unhappy because they don’t understand. For them, time is
not important. Your wife will be unhappy because the children are unhappy. You will be unhappy, too
because they are all unhappy. So you have to learn to slow down. That is the first and most important rule
for a househusband.
There is something else the househusband must learn. You must learn to show how you feel about things.
At work, men usually do not talk about feelings. If they do, people think they are strange. So, many men are
not used to telling anyone about their feelings. They do not know how to talk about their anger, worries, or
love. But children need to know how you feel. They need to know how much you love them. If you are
angry, they need to know why. Your wife need to know about your feelings. If you do not say anything, your
family may get the wrong idea. Then there may be serious problems.
People talk a lot about househusbands these days. Usually they talk about men doing the housework, the
cooking, cleaning, and shopping. But in my opinion, these are the easiest things to learn. It was much
harder for me to change the way I think and the way I act with my family. I think, other men will also find this
harder, but like me, will find it necessary if they want to have a happy family.
