PART C. READING (2 pts)
I. Read the following passage and answer.
Last month, we went to Doi Tam, a village famous for its drum making techniques, in Ha
Nam Province. The craft was first introduced to the village in the 8th or 9th century.
Today there are more than six hundred drum makers living in Doi Tam village.
I was amazed to see big drums in front of every house in the village. People say that
it takes four workers three days to make a drum with a diameter of 1.5 metres. To make a
drum, the craftsmen have to follow an eight stage process. Stretching the drumhead is the
most challenging stage since they have to carefully assess the sound it makes. The other
steps do not require such high skills.
Nowadays, Doi Tam drums are not only famous in Viet Nam but are also sold to other
countries such as Laos, Cambodia, Japan, and the USA.
1. When was the craft first introduced to the village?
2. How many stages do the craftsmen have to follow to make a drum?

I live in a small village called Henfield. The village is quiet and life here is slow and

heavy traffic. It’s much more friendly here than in a city. Everyone knows everyone and
if someone has a problem, there are always people who can help. However, there are
some things I don’t like about Henfield. One thing is that there’s not much to do in the

village life to life in a big city.

I. III. Read the following text and choose the best answer for the questions below.
Living in the country is something that people from the city often dream about. However, in
reality, it has both advantages and disadvantages.
There are certainly many advantages to living in the country. First, you can enjoy peace and
quietness. Moreover, people tend to be friendlier. A further advantage is that there is less traffic, so it is
safer for young children.
However, there are certain disadvantages or drawbacks to life outside the city. First, because there
are fewer people, you are likely to have few friends. In addition, entertainment is difficult to find,
particularly in the evening. Futher more, the fact that there are fewer shops and services means that it is
hard to find jobs.
 In short, it can be seen that the country is more suitable for some people than others. On the whole,
it is often the best for those who are retired or who have young children. In contrast, young people who
have a career are better provided in the city.
20.According to the passage, living in the country has ________
A. both good and bad points B. only good points C. only bad points D. no disadvantages
21.How many advantages does living in the country have?

A. There are fewer shops and services in the country
B. The country is only suitable for retired people.
C. It's hard to find entertainment in the country.
D. People in the country tend to be friendlier than people in the city.

II. Read the text and answer the questions.
Bill Gates was born in 1955 in Washington State. He grew up in a rich family. His parents sent
him to a private school. There he met his business partner, Paul Allen. When they were in eighth grade,
they were writing programs for business computers and making more.
In 1973, Gates was accepted at Harvard University. His parents were happy. They thought he
would get over his obsession with computers and become a lawyer like his father. Two years later, Gates
dropped out of Harvard to work on a computer program with his friend Allen. They worked eighteen
hours a day in a dormitory room at Harvard. They were writing the program that would run one of the
first personal computers. In 1975, they created a company called Microsoft to sell their products.
Allen became ill with cancer and left Microsoft in 1983. He recovered a few years later and started
