IX. Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to each of
the questions.
You depend on all the people closely around to give you the warm feeling of belongingness that you
must have to feel secure. But, in fact, the members of all the groups to which you belong also depend on you to
give that feeling to them. A person who shows that he wants everything for himself is bound to be a lonely wolf.
The need for companionship is closely related to the need for a sense of belongingness. How sad and
lonely your life would be if you had no one to share your feelings and experiences. You may take it for granted
that there always will be people around to talk to and to do things with you and for you. The important point,
however, is that keeping emotionally healthy does not depend so much upon having people around you as upon
your ability to establish relationships that are satisfying both to you and to them.
Suppose you are in a crowd watching a football game. You don’t know them. When the game is over,
you will all go your separate ways. But just for a while you had a feeling of companionship, of sharing the
feelings of others who were cheering for the team you wanted to win.
An experience of this kind gives the clue to what companionship really is. It depends upon emotional
ties of sympathy, understanding, trust, and affection. Companions become friends when these ties are formed.
When you are thrown in a new circle of acquaintances, you may not know with whom you will make
friends, but you can be sure that you will be able to establish friendships if you show that you really like people.
1. What does paragraph 2 primarily discuss?
A. Close link between companionship and belongingness
B. How to satisfy other people’s needs
C. An example of a satisfying relationship
D. Difficulties in establishing friendships
2. If you had no one to share your feelings, your life would be ____.

People do many crazy things to raise money for charity. The latest crazy stunt came from an English
man who decided to push a Brussels sprout up the highest mountain in Wales - with his nose. He wanted to raise
$8,500 for a cancer charity. Stuart Kettell, 49, said he loves challenges and will try to do anything for charity.
His other challenges include walking 800 kilometers on stilts and sitting in a box for a week. He said: "I have
seen firsthand the amazing charity work that Macmillan Cancer Support does, not only for the patient but their
family and friends too." He added: "People's cancer stories inspire me even more to carry on, and my challenges
are going to get even more crazy."
It took Mr. Kettell three days to push the Brussels sprout up the 1,085 meters high Mount Snowden. He
wore a specially designed face mask so he wouldn't scrape the skin off his face. He practised for his
charitymission by pushing a Brussels sprout around his garden. He chose a large sprout for his Snowden
challenge. It was about the size of a table-tennis ball. He said he wanted a larger one because it would not fall
down a crack. He spent three days on his hands and knees with his nose a centimeter or two above the ground.
He told reporters there was "a huge amount of pain" in his knees, wrists and back. He said he was happy
because his training worked, he reached the summit, and he raised money for the charity.

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
descendfrom 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
2. With which of the following are the rituals of the festival NOT associated?
A. Ancestor worship B. Fertility rites C. Festival creators D. Unity and family spirit
3. The word "descend" in the passage is closest in meaning to ____.
A. improve B. originate C. transform D. exchange
4. What is stated in paragraph 4 about boat races, fishing contests, snake dances and water puppet
performances?
A. They are very basic activities. B. They take on an essential role.
C. They are all done on the water. D. They take place in Chem village.
5. Which of the following is true about the blessed water in the festival of Chem village?
A. It is carried on the barge. B. It used for the ritual of the next day.
C. It is taken from the village guardian. D. It helps make wooden statues clean.
