VII. Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to each
of the questions.
The Spring festival season in Vietnam starts with the Lunar New Year and closes with the celebration
honoring the mythical founding fathers, the Hung Kings, on the tenth day of the third lunar month.
Underlying the origins of these rituals is the farming cycle and its association with fertility rites and
ancestor worship. Ancestor worship is a belief of wet-rice farmers who keep their ancestors' graves in their
village. This strong attachment to the village of one's birth and the recognition that the inhabitants all descend
from the same ancestral line creates strong bonds. The village festival is based on the spirit of unity and family.
The farmers are the festivals' creators, actors and audience.
 Ancient ceremonies related to farming sometimes take on additional meanings: the commemoration of
heroic deeds and the village heroes' birth or death. Each village in the North of Vietnam has such a heroic or
super-human figure as a tutelary or guardian spirit. The heroes were honored in their own temples and
communal houses which became the heart of the village activities.
There are basic themes which are common to all Spring festivals in the Red River Delta. For instance,
water takes on an essential role. Water is collected and blessed and later used for ritual washing. There are boat
races, fishing contests, snake dances and water puppet performances. In Chem village, in the suburbs of Hanoi
on the banks of the Red River, the main part of the festival actually occurs on a barge carrying over 200 people
waving flags, singing, dancing and chasing a unicorn. The barge sails from the temple out into the middle of the
Red River, while elders in smaller boats fetch three large jars of water to be blessed and used in rituals during
the year. The next day the blessed water is used for the symbolic washing of the wooden statue of the village
guardian.
1. According to paragraph 1, how long does the the Spring festival last?
A. one month B. less than one month
C. more than three months D. just more than two months
(chú ý đoạn 1, "starts with the Lunar New Year" cho đến “tenth day of the third lunar month”, tức là từ
đầu tháng Giêng đến ngày 10 tháng Ba âm lịch, là hơn 2 tháng)
2. With which of the following are the rituals of the festival NOT associated?

dòng 4 "The village festival is based on the spirit of unity and family.")

performances?

VIII. Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to each
of the questions.
Thailand's most celebrated festival is the Songkran Festival. It starts on April 13 and lasts between three
to ten days, depending on where you are in Thailand. The word Songkran is from Sanskrit, meaning the
beginning of a new solar year.
The festival begins on April 13 and everyone is awakened at dawn to the sound of firecrackers used to
drive away evil spirits. This is the day when everything is scrupulously cleaned from the self, clothes, Buddha
images, to houses, shops and streets in preparation for the New Year.
April 14 is the day between the old year and the new year. It is customary not to quarrel or use harsh
words on one another. The morning is spent shopping and preparing food for the following day, while the
afternoon is reserved for visiting a temple in the neighborhood. It is imperative that they carry a fistful of sand
with them to compensate for the dirt that they have carried away from the temple during their visits throughout
the year. The sand is then sculpted into stupa-shaped piles.
 April 15 marks the New Year's Day called Wan Phya Wan. It is a day of great importance. It is
customary to visit the temple early in the morning to take food to the monks, as a form of merit making and later
in the afternoon to return to place small banners, known as Thung, on the top of the stupas built the day before.
After that, visits to family and relatives are carried out. The gifts during the visit include areca nuts,
clove leaves, turmeric water and acacia oil. Family members ask for forgiveness from their respected elders for
any wrong doings they may have committed throughout the year and to receive their blessings for the year to
come. At the end of this ceremony, a little water is sprinkled onto the hands and heads of the old people as a
blessing and then quite a lot is thrown at the rest of the family in anticipation of the water wars that are to
follow.
Traditionally water should be thrown on April 16 but nowadays it is not unusual for water to be thrown
throughout the whole of the Songkran festival. Armed with high-powered water pistols, bowls, buckets or
anything that will hold water revelers gather on the streets to throw water at one another. Even the policemen
directing traffic are not spared. Each and every participant is expected to receive the 'blessing' with good humor.
If you want to stay dry and still do not want to miss the fun, you can always view the scene from inside
an air-conditioned tourist bus - just remember not to open the windows.
To attract tourists, other activities are held in big cities. These include the sand-stupa building contests,
local cultural performances and Miss Songkran Beauty Queen Contests. Demonstrations of Thai cooking and
handicraft making are also held at well-known hotels in cities like Bangkok.
