THE GODFATHER
In a poor working-class hamlet in Ho Chi Minh City, there

single father, raising two children, Quan and Bu Tot, alone. Quan is a
YouTuber _________(31)_________ money from YouTube views. He has a
hobby of collecting expensive brands. Living near Sang's father and
son's house is Mrs. Cam Le, the owner of a tailor shop. Ms. Le is very
close to Mr.Sang's family and often helps them.
At the party to celebrate her son's promotion, Binh Loi, Mrs.
Hai Giau said a few words
that made Quan unhappy
and left. After a while, Ut
Quy appeared drunk and
quarreled with people at the
party. During the scuffle,
Quy accidentally hit Mr. Sang's head with a beer bottle, injuring
him. The next day, Mr. Sang and Bu Tot went to Tu Phu's house
to drink water. Here, Phu's wife, Aunt Anh, wondered about Mr.
Page 3/6 | T e s t 228
Sang's adoption of Bu Tot, making Mrs. Cam Le standing nearby angry. Mrs. Giau was also present,
reminding Mr. Sang to pay back the money he borrowed from her earlier, and at the same time, advised
Ba Sang to sell the house he was living in. Bu Tot brought this story to Quan. Finished, Quan quickly
brought a stack of money to pay Mrs. Giau.
At midnight, the loan sharks brought Ut Quy to Ba Sang's house, threatening to cut
_________(32)_________ one of Quy's fingers if he didn't pay. _________(33)_________ Quan tried his best to prevent
it, because he thought of family love, Mr. Sang gave 10 million to
them. A few days later, Binh Loi came to Quan, suggesting that
he should buy an apartment to live in. Although he did not seem
interested, Quan later hid Mr. Sang to deposit money to buy an
apartment. He brought this story to convince his father, advised
him to stay in the apartment for a while, if it was not suitable,
he could move back. On the first day of moving into the
apartment, Mr. Sang invited his relatives to visit the house.
Here, Quan suspects that Quy stole 30 million from himself. This
caused a conflict between Mr. Sang's family and these relatives.
Quan quarreled with Aunt Anh and Mrs. Giau's mother and
daughter, causing these people to leave. Mr. Sang saw that, was so angry that he took Bu Tot and left with
him. A little later, Mrs. Cam Le appeared, gave Quan a gift bag, and advised him to find an opportunity to
apologize to his father.
A few days later, a woman came to Mr. Sang, claiming to be Bu Tot's biological mother, and
asked Mr. Sang to give her some money. The request was not met, this woman went online, claiming to
be Truc Nhan, Quan's ex-girlfriend, revealing that Bu Tot was the common child of the two. Angered,
Quan called Mr. Sang, _________(34)_________ him for having brought Bu Tot, which affected his career.
However, Mr. Sang confirmed that Bu Tot was Quan's biological son, and it was he who hid it from him.
This scandal caused Quan's career to plunge. He had to manage everywhere to make up for the contracts.
Knowing the story, Mr. Sang sold his house to Mrs. Giau. Part of the money he used to help Quan, the rest
hebought a pair of earrings for Cam Le.
After knowing that his father sold the house, Quan also sold
his apartment and brought the money to Cam Le's house, intending to
return it to Mr. Sang, but he refused. Right after Quan left, Mr. Sang
suddenly fainted and was taken to the hospital. Test results showed
that he had end-stage renal failure and required a kidney transplant.
Quan asked to use his kidney to save his father, but Mr. Sang refused,
citing that he had a heart condition. Along the way, Quan came to Tu
Phu's wife and mother and
daughter to ask for help, but
everyone refused. Fortunately,
Quy appeared and agreed to use his kidney to transplant Mr. Sang.
Before the surgery, Mr. Sang confessed his heart to Mrs. Cam Le and
she agreed. Unfortunately, Quy then encounters a group of strangers
and is killed by them. Controversy then broke out between Mr. Sang
and Quan about the kidney transplant. Because he did not want to
involve his son, Mr. Sang left home and took up residence in a temple.
To prepare for his death, Mr. Sang ordered coffins and took pictures of the shrine. Meanwhile,
Quan alone had to raise Bu Tot and look for his father. In _________(35)_________ livestream on his YouTube
channel, Quan confessed everything about his family to the audience, and sent his first apology to Mr. Sang
right on the live broadcast. Mr. Sang heard his son's words through the phone screen, was touched, and
decided to return to surgery. Although the surgery failed, Mr. Sang did not survive, but Quan also realized
many things in life. He and Bu Tot lived together, learning to get used to life without Mr. Sang by his side.

 Questions 36-42. Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to
indicate the correct answer to each of the questions.

THE JAPAN’ WEDDINGS

Most weddings in Japan start with a
religious ceremony in which usually only
family members attend. Afterwards, a
banquet is customarily held to which many
people, including friends and colleagues, are
invited. To celebrate the happy occasion,
guests give the bride and groom goshuugi –
gift money in special envelopes. Goshuugi
from friends is usually 20,000 yen or 30,000
yen.
A typical Japanese wedding party starts when the bride and groom enter
the banquet hall together, and take their seats on a slightly raised platform
facing their guests. Invited guests are seated closer to the bride and groom, with
family and relatives seated further in back. The
bride's and groom's bosses usually give congratulatory speeches then their
friends sing in celebration. Other wedding highlights include a candle
ceremony where the couple holds a candle while greeting their guests at
each table, and the cutting of the wedding cake. Afterwards, the bride and
groom thank their parents with a speech, then leave to end the party.
In the past, dishes that supposedly brought good fortune, such as
prawns and sea breams, were served in abundance. So much of the food was
ordered that guests ended up taking the surplus home. Today, the majority of the weddings serve just
enough for everyone. Additionally, before leaving, guests would traditionally receive souvenir gifts called
hikidemono.
Many wedding ceremonies take place at wedding halls or hotels. Rough estimates show that it
costs about 3 million yen to host a wedding party for 80 guests. During Japan's economic bubble, overseas
weddings and flamboyant receptions with special effects, such as smoke machines and having the bride
and groom fly in on gondolas, were very popular. But these days, couples choose to tie the knot in various
ways, from not having any ceremony to having a modest affair, or still going all out.
