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 from 24 to 30.
Family life in the United States is changing. Thirty or forty years ago, the wife was called a
"housewife". She cleaned, cooked, and cared for the children. The husband earned the money for the
family. He was usually out working all day. He came home tired in the evening, so he did not do much
housework. And he did not see the children very much, except on weekends.
These days, however, more and more women work outside the home. They cannot stay with the
children all day. They, too, come home tired in the evening. They do not want to spend the evening
cooking dinner and cleaning up. They do not have time to clean the house and do the laundry. So who is
going to do the housework now? Who is going to take care of the children?
Many families solve the problem of housework by sharing it. In these families, the husband and
wife agree to do different jobs around the house, or they take turns doing each job. For example, the
husband always cooks dinner and the wife always does the laundry. Or the wife cooks dinner on some
nights and the husband cooks dinner on other nights.
Then there is a question of the children. In the past, many families got help with child care from
grandparents. Now families usually do not live near their relatives. The grandparents often are to far away
to help in a regular way. More often, parents have to pay for child care help. The help may be a babysister
or a day-care center. The problem with this kind of help is the high cost. It is possible only for couples
with jobs that pay well.
Parents may get another kind of help from the companies they work for. Many companies now let
people with children work part-time. That way, parents can spend more time with their children. Some
husbands may even stop working for a while to stay with the children. For these men there is a new
word: They are called "househusband". In the United States more and more men are becoming
househusband every year.
These changes in the home mean changes in the family. Fathers can learn to understand their
children better, and the children can get to know their fathers better. Husbands and wives may also find
changes in their marriage. They, too, may have a better understanding of each other.
Question 24: This article is about ____________________
A. housewives in America. B. American men as househusbands.
C. how more American women are working. D. how family life in America is changing.
Question 25: Forty years ago, most women ____________________

C. not as many women working D. no jobs for women
Question 27: The word "laundry" in paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to _____________
A. place where clothes are washed B. washing and ironing
C. shopping D. cooking and washing up
Question 28: Day-care centers help __________________
A. working parents with their children B. housewives
C. with cooking and cleaning D. men become househusband
Question 29: Some parents work part-time _________________
A. so they can be with their children B. so they can earn more money
C. because they have no time D. because they do not like their work

A. parents who work part-time

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 from 31 to 35.
Nha Nhac, meaning “elegant music”, refers to a wide range of musical and dance styles performed
at the Vietnamese royal court from the fifteenth to the mid-twentieth century. Nha Nhac was generally
performed at the opening and closing of ceremonies associated with anniversaries, religious holidays,
funerals and so on. Among the numerous musical genres that developed in Viet Nam, only Nha Nhac is
popular on a nationwide scale and has strong links with the traditions of other East Asian countries.
During Nha Nhac performances, there were numerous singers, dancers and musicians dressed in gorgeous
costumes. Large-scale orchestras included a drum section and many other types of instruments like wind
and string instruments. All performers had to maintain a high level of concentration because they were
expected to follow each step of the ritual carefully.
Nha Nhac developed during the Le Dynasty (1427-1788) and reached the peak under the Nguyen
Dynasty (1802-1945). As a symbol of the dynasty’s power and longevity, Nha Nhac became an essential
part of the court’s many ceremonies. However, the role of Nha Nhac was not limited to musical
accompaniment for court rituals: it also provided a means of communicating with and showing respect to
the gods and kings as well as providing knowledge about nature and the universe.
The fall of the monarchy and the decades of war in 20 th century seriously threatened the survival
of Nha Nhac and made this musical tradition lose its original function. However, the few surviving former
court musicians continue to work to keep the tradition alive. Certain forms of Nha Nhac have been
maintained in popular rituals and religious ceremonies and become a source of inspiration for
contemporary Vietnamese music.

A. The Development of Nha Nhac

C. It was used as musical accompaniment for entertainment at court events.
