REVISION FOR READING SKILL

READING 1 - Read the passage carefully and choose the correct answer A, B, C or D:
Last week I made the mistake of visiting the village when I grew up. It was a small, friendly community with
two farms and a number of old cottages round the village green. I realized very quickly that although in many
ways it appears unchanged, in reality hardly anything is the same. All the pretty cottages are there, of course,
and both the picturesque farmhouses. But none of the inhabitants are country people. All of them are
commuters, who leave early every morning for the nearby town. Neither of the farmer houses is attached to a
farm these days; the land has been sold and is managed by somebody in an office somewhere who has little
interest in the village itself. There are a few new houses, but they have no local character; you can see the same
style anywhere in the country. The whole of the village, in fact, has been tidied up so much that it has become
nothing more than just another suburb.

ware company. Now twenty seven, Rachel takes classes twice a week after work. She is learning to use the

school and get an MBA.”

Viet Nam has a rich culture spreading from an agricultural civilization. For this reason, most Vietnamese
people are very attached to their villages. The terms for “village” are different in different groups of people in
Vietnam. It is lang in Vietnamese language, chieng in Tay Thai, ban in Muong, and buon in the languages of
several groups living in the Central Highlands. The village is a highly interwoven social organization. It is not
only an administrative organization, but also an economic unit based on the areas of farmland owned by all of
the villagers. Farmers living in the same village are closely linked by community or business relations. Thus
their habits, customs, religious practices and festivals are based on deep-rooted traditions.
The village festivals and ceremonies, in their various forms, display Vietnam’s rich cultural traditions
and historical features. There are many popular regional and national festivals, through which inhabitants
commemorate regional as well as national heroes/ heroines. Wedding ceremonies and funerals have always
been considered the most solemn since they mark the two important events in one’s life. In engagement and
wedding ceremonies, betel leaves and areca nuts make the offerings more meaningful. In fact, in most villages
in Vietnam, a cup of tea and a betel leaf with a piece of areca nuts are symbols of friendship and other qualities
such as faithfulness and honesty.

A. It is about village traditions B. It is about villages in Viet Nam
C. It is about the village festivals and ceremonies D. It is about village and farmers
2. The word “they” in line 4 paragraph 2 refers to:

C. regional and national festivals D. festivals and ceremonies
3. How are relations among villagers firmly established?
A. Through an administrative organization B. By religious practices
C. From family ties D. Through communities and business relations
4. Why are betel leaves and areca nuts highly valued by Vietnamese people?
A. Because they are offered at wedding and engagement ceremonies
B. B. Because villagers like them .
C. Because betel leaves and areca nuts are delicious.
