READING COMPREHENSION (Questions 12 to 16)
Read the passage carefully and choose the correct answer for each question below
The Vietnamese are known for their long-lasted ancestral commemoration in their families. The unique
traditional traits of Vietnam are called death anniversary. While Birthday and Valentine’s Day are essential
in the west, Death Anniversary is the feature of worship customs in some Asian countries, including
Vietnam.
Death anniversary in Vietnam or “Ngay Gio” in Vietnamese is the anniversary of the passed-away
members in the family. Death anniversary in Vietnam is held according to the dates on the lunar calendar and
it is considered a very important and meaningful day to Vietnamese people. Therefore, it is easily found that
there are a lots of death anniversaries to a family in the year round. This is not only the day to commemorate

the ancestors but also an occasion for all family members to gather and bond with each other for a long time
no see because of the busy life. Moreover, people who have close relationships with the deceased can attend
the ceremony as well.
On the anniversary day, all the descendants will dress neatly, burn incenses to pray in front of the
ancestor altar as a way to show their respect and wish for a peaceful year ahead. The family also arrange
tables, set the feast on them beforehand. Then, they receive the offerings of the guests, which are usually
fruits, and place them on the altar. People invited to the ceremony are relatives, neighbors, or the ones who
have a close relationship with the deceased, as soon as the incenses burn out, all members and guests sit
down together to enjoy the food, have some drinks, review old memories of the deceased and share each
other about work, life and more at the same time. When the feast is over, the family will divide all the
offerings into different bags and share them for all guests as a fortune of ancestral worship.
Unlike the Vietnamese funerals where people mourn and grieve on the deceased. Death anniversary in
Vietnam embraces a more delightful atmosphere year on year since it likes a day to connect people in the
family, sit together, put aside the busy work to have a meal and share stories with each other; because of this,
the ancestors in the afterlife can feel happy, too.
12: What do people often do on the anniversary day?
A. They prepare the table and set the feast for all attendants.
B. They rarely receive the offerings from the guests.
C. They burn the incenses after the feast is over.
D. They divide the offerings before praying in front of the altar.
13: What is closest in meaning to the word “commemorate”?
A. realize B. celebrate C. memorialize D. modernize
14: What does the word “their” refer to?
A. the altar’s B. the incenses’ C. the ancestor’s D. the descendants’
15: Which of the following is NOT TRUE in the reading passages?
A. People with close relationship with the deceased are also invited to their death anniversary.
B. Guests will receive a bag of offerings after the feast as a fortune of ancestral worship.
C. Death anniversary is held according to the dates on lunar calendar.
D. People always feel more mournful in a death anniversary than a funeral.
16: What is the main idea of the reading passages?

B. Comparisons between Western and Asian countries
C. Preparations before a death anniversary
D. A unique traditional custom in Vietnam

Peer relationships are very important to teens for many reasons. First of all, friendships provide teens
with opportunities to develop conflict resolving skills. In other words, they can learn how to end a fight and
still remain friends after it with their friends. Moreover, friends create fun and excitement for teens through
companionship and recreation. They can also give advice to one another. This means they can talk through
lots of issues and problems with their friends. Last but not least, friendships provide stability during time of
stress or sorrow because friends can sympathize with what you are going through and help you feel better.
What happens when youth don’t have friends? Teens without friends tend to be more lonely and
unhappy. They tend to have lower levels of academic achievement and lower self-confidence. As they get
older, they are likely to drop out of school and get involved in crimes. As parents, it is important to
encourage friendships among teens. You have to understand that friendships change as youth move into their
teen years. They will tend to spend more and more time with their peers than you. They are also more mobile
so it is impossible to supervise them all the time. Therefore, it is vital to know who your teen’s friends are
and to communicate openly about friendships with your teens. This will minimize the risk of your children
hanging out with bad people.

C. Having friends can be fun for teens.

Last weekend I went to a wedding in Taipei. The bride is an old friend of my wife. I have not attended
any wedding for a long time. We left our kids at home with their grandparents and tried to enjoy this rare
opportunity to witness the happiest moment of a new family. Weddings in Taiwan nowadays are quite
simpler than many years ago. The main part of the wedding is the banquet, where hundreds of relatives and
friends from both sides of the groom and bride come to celebrate together. The banquet is actually not
complicated for guests - give your wedding gift money (red envelope), sit and watch the ceremony, get some
gifts from the newly-wed couple if any, enjoy the meal, take some photos before you say goodbye. But it is
not easy for the groom and bride. A lot of preparations have to be done before the party begins. During the
wedding party, they have to go to all tables of guests during the banquet and see all the guests off when the
party is about to end. They will have no time to enjoy their own wedding. The couple sees a lot of friends
here but they only have about a few minutes to talk to him or her. Sometimes they will prepare some small
gifts for all the guests. In Taiwan, every couple will have a small decorated table showing their photos and
they will select some to have them printed as small cards and give them to the guests as wedding gifts.

correct answer to each of the questions.
Life is full of unexpected surprises. There are many opportunities when one can secretly wish for
something exciting to happen.
Throughout my childhood, I loved the wild. My family and I would always go for a walk in the
downtown forest of Coote’s Paradise. There were many times I thought of what could happen if we were to
lose our way from the trail and have to live in that land until we found our way back to civilization. I thought
it would be the greatest experience ever.
As my brothers and I grew older, we continued to go for these walks with our parents but the dreams of
living in the forest I soon forgot. That’s when it happened. We decided to take a different path off the main
trail. Before I knew it, the path had disappeared and no one in my family could tell where we had come from.
It gave me a feeling of excitement that can’t be described. Everything in the forest seemed different. The
trees were a deeper shade of green. Besides, I wasn’t afraid of anything because there were my parents. It
was this moment that I realized that I would much rather stay here for the rest of my life than go back to
society.
An experience like this made me think about my place in life. I’m the type of person who loves seeking
out adventures. This experience made me realize that families need to stay together; you don’t realize how
much you need them until, for a moment, you think they’ll be the last people you see for the rest of your life.
I think this simple thing like being lost in a forest for a quarter of hour will give you a chance to appreciate
the little things in life.

Naturally, wife-carrying contest rules may vary from event to event, from country to country. But
Finnish wife-carrying race officials assign the following rules and regulations to their wife-carrying
championships.
First of all, everyone involved must have fun. No worries, unmarried men - competitors don't have to
carry their own wives. Rules state that a participant may carry his own wife, his neighbor's wife or someone
he found "further afield." The only stipulation is that the wife must be more than 17 years of age and weigh
a minimum of 49 kg . If the wife weighs less than that, she must carry a weighted rucksack to make up the
difference. The official length of the track is 253.5 meters. The surface of the track includes sections of
sand, grass and gravel. There are two obstacles to climb over, as well as a 1-meter-deep water obstacle to
wade through.
If a contestant drops his wife, he incurs a 15-second penalty. Indeed, wives are dropped all the time -
that's why they wear helmets. Officials also award special prizes for best costumes, which adds a festive
element to the event. In addition to the standard wife-carrying race, couples have the option to participate
in the official wife-carrying sprint, which is only 100 meters but includes similar obstacles.
The Wife Carrying World Championships also features a team competition, which has the same rules
as the wife-carrying contest, but the three men on each team take turns carrying one wife. The twist? Before
handing off his "wife" to the next contestant, each man must chug a drink.
12: Which of the following is NOT TRUE in the reading passages?
A. The wife weighing under 49 kg can still take part in the wife-carrying contest.
B. The wives wear helmets for the men to carry them more easily.
C. The contestants must wear their best costumes to make the event more festive.
D. The Wife Carrying World Championships has the same rules as the wife-carrying contest.
13: According to the second paragraph, a man who participates in the wife-carrying contest can
.
A. carry others’ wife in the competition B. be single and funny man
C. only carry his own wife D. be a healthy man
14: From the second paragraph, it can be infered that .
A. the contestants have to overcome some challenges.
B. the competition is only for Finlanders.
C. the wife in the contest must be teenage.
D. the contestants are professional athletes.

Chinese New Year, also known as Spring Festival, is the most important Chinese celebration.
Typically, the celebration annually begins on the New Year's Eve and lasts for 15 days. This festivity is
considered as precious time for family reunion. The celebration is sometimes accentuated with a religious
ceremony given in honor of heaven, the family's ancestors and other gods. Chinese New Year's Eve usually
starts with ancestor worship. Ancestors are believed to continue their existence in heaven to look after their
families in mysterious ways. Ancestor worship is usually followed by a warm family dinner. During dinner,
fish and dumplings are often served. These two dishes are said to signify prosperity. Other dishes are
dependent on personal taste. Shou Sui is an activity that family members stay awake together after the
reunion dinner to reminisce about the old year and welcome the new year. People believe that it will
increase the longevity of family members. When fireworks display is broadcast live on television,
firecrackers prepared by family members will be burnt. The burning of firecrackers means a joyful time of
new year and scare evil spirits. On the first day, most people begin visiting and greeting relatives and friends
to offer good wishes. This is called Bai Nian. During the following days, many traditional activities continue.
The fifteenth day is when the Yuan Xiao festival, also called the Lantern festival, takes place. The day
coincides with the first full moon of the new year. It also marks the conclusion of Chinese New Year

Based on the census* from October 2010, Japan's population was at its peak at 128,057,352. As of
October 1st, 2015, the population was 127,094,745 making it the world's tenth-most populous country at that
time. Since 2010, Japan has experienced the population loss due to falling birth rates and almost
no immigration, despite having one of the highest living expectancies in the world. Using the annual
estimate for October of each year, the population peaked in 2008 at 128,083,960 and had fallen 285,256 by
October 2011.
In 2005, Japan's population density was 336 people per square kilometer. It ranks 37th in a list of
countries by population density, ranking directly above India (336 per km2) and directly below Belgium (341
per km2).
Based on 2012 data from the National Institute of Population and Social Security Research, Japan's
population will keep declining by about one million people every year in the coming decades, which will
leave Japan with a population of 42 million in 2110. More than 40% of the population is expected to be over
the age of 65 in 2060. In 2012, the population declined by 212,000, the largest drop on record since 1947. In
2014, a new record of population drop happened with 268,000 people. In 2013, more than 20 percent of the
population were at the age of 65 and over.
The population ranking of Japan dropped from 7th to 8th in 1990, to 9th in 1998, and to 10th in the early
21st century. In 2015 it dropped further to 11th place. Over the period of 2010–2015, the population shrank by
almost a million.

“Wife carrying” is a contest in which male competitors race while carrying their female teammates. Its
objective is for the male to carry the female through a special obstacle track in the fastest time. The sport was
first introduced in Finland. It was not until 1992 that the competition became the world championship, and
annually held in Finland. The invention of the game is based on tales which have been passed down from
one person to another about a man named Herkko Rosvo Ronkainen. First, Rosvo Ronkainen and his friends
were accused of stealing food and women from villages in the area he lived in and carried these women on
their backs as they ran away. For the second idea, it has been said that young men would go to villages near
their own, steal other men’s wives, and then have the women become their own wives. These wives were
also carried on the backs of the young men. Lastly, there was the idea that Rosvo Ronkainen trained his
thieves to be “faster and stronger” by carrying pigs, heavy things on their backs, which could have eventually
evolved to a sport because of the hard labor, and muscle strengthening. Even though this sport has been
considered by some as a joke, competitors take it very seriously, just like any other sport. “Wife carrying” is
now practiced in other parts of the world besides Finland, and has a category in the Guinness book of
records.
14: What does the word “passed down” mean?
A. To tell something to someone who is younger than you
B. To bring something to another place
C. To draw something by yourself
D. To replace something which is no longer used
