READING COMPREHESION QUESTIONS.

I. Read the passage, and choose the correct answer A, B, C or D for each question.
Sedge Mat Craft Village In Tien Giang Province
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 pattems.
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.
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,
13
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.

II. Read the passage and choose the correct answer to each of the questions.
If parents bring up a child with the sole aim of turning the child into a genius, they will cause
a disaster. According to several scientists, this is one of the biggest mistakes which ambitious
parents make. Generally, the child will be only too aware of what his parents expect, and will
fail. Unrealistic parental expectations can cause great damage to children.
However, if parents are not too unrealistic about what they expect their children to do, but are
ambitious in a sensible way, the child may succeed in doing very well – especially if the parents
are very supportive of their child.
Michael is very lucky. He is crazy about music, and his parents help him a lot by taking him
to concerts and arranging private piano and violin lessons for him. They even drive him 50
kilometers twice a week for violin lessons. Michael’s mother knows very little about music, but
his father plays the trumpet in a large orchestra. However, he never makes Michael enter music
competitions if he is unwilling.
14
Winston, Michael’s friend, however, is not so lucky. Both his parents are successful
musicians, and they set too high a standard for Winston. They want their son to be as successful
as they are and so they enter him for every piano competition held. They are very unhappy when
he does not win. Winston is always afraid that he will disappoint his parents and now he always
seems quiet and unhappy.

Although no one knows for certain who the original Saint Valentine was, once
a year, on February 14, there is a day in his honor. Some historians believe that the original Saint
Valentine was a priest who lived in the city of Rome about 300 years after the birth of Christ.
The emperor of Rome was not a Christian and refused to allow people to be married in a
Christian ceremony. Saint Valentine didn’t obey the emperor and performed many Christian
marriages, in spite of the emperor’s order. When the Romans found out, they sent Saint
Valentine to prison and later killed him. While his romantic efforts to help many Christians in
love cost him his life, he was honored in his own days. But his story has been mostly forgotten

grand imperial capital are the Ngo Mon Gate of the Imperial City which once was exclusively

buildings were constructed in the early 19th century and were modeled after Beijing’s Forbidden
City. The wall that surroundings the citadel is six metres high and two and a half kilometres
long.
The historical complex is known not only for its rich architecture but also for its beautiful

V. Street Food Shoulder Poles on Saigon streets

pole, also called a carrying pole, is a yoke of wood or bamboo, used by people to carry a load.
The vendors put their goods in two baskets from each end of the yoke.
In the downtown, we can meet young women with their shoulder poles. The baskets are covered
with plastic wrap carefully to protect the foods from the street dust. In a tight space of one
basket, she could mix the ingredients and bake the cake on a small charcoal which was defended
by carton. The ready cakes were put in other basket.
In the morning or evening, on rainy or sunny day, Saigon streets are marked by shoulder poles of
people from different regions of the country, which has become a unique part of Saigon. It has
been said that it isn’t hard to live in Saigon if you work hard. With the carrying pole on
shoulders, the vendor has turned it into a “store”. The reason is very simple, they don’t have
