Read the following passage and mark letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct

answer to each of the questions that follow.

In the Mekong Delta, Long Dinh village of Tien Giang province is famous for its

traditional craft of weaving flowered mats. The mat’s high quality makes them popular

domestically, and they are also exported to markets worldwide including Korea, Japan

and America.

In spite of its well-established reputation for this traditional craft, mat weaving

only started here some 50 years ago. It was first introduced by immigrants from Kim Son,

a famous mat weaving village in the northern province of Ninh Binh. However, the

technique of weaving village sedge mats in Long Dinh, as compared with other places in

the South, is somewhat different. Long Dinh branded mats are thicker and have more

attractive colours and patterns. “Weaving sedge mats is similar to growing rice”. Long

Dinh mat production mainly occurs during the dry season, from January to April.

Weavers have to work their hardest in May and June, otherwise, when the rainy season

starts in July, they will have to put off finishing their Products till the next dry season. No

matter how much work it requires, Long Dinh mat producers stick with this occupation,

as it brings a higher income than growing rice.

This trade provides employment for thousands of local labourers. At present,

nearly 1,000 households in Long Dinh village live on weaving mats. To better meet

market demands, Long Dinh mat weavers have created more Products in addition to the

traditional sedge mats. Particularly, they are producing a new type of mat made from the

dried stalks of water hyacinth, a common material in the Mekong Delta.

Thanks to the planning and further investment, the mat weaving occupation has

indeed brought in more income for local residents. Their living standards have improved

considerably, resulting in better conditions for the whole village.

Read the following passage and mark letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer

to each of the questions that follow.

Recently, we made a trip to visit Dong Ho village with a desire to meet the old

artisan – Nguyen Huu Sam. Just when we arrived villagers at the dyke in the village and

talked with the villagers about the artisan, they immediately told us about him.

The old house owned by the artisan is situated in a long alley of the village. On the

walls of the house there are many folk paintings in different genres, from daily life

paintings to landscape paintings shown in a set of “four seasons”.

Mr. Sam told us about his past. When he was three years old, he was instructed in

the craft of making Dong Ho paintings by his father. At five, he could help his father

apply the Dong Ho paintings, and learn how to print the paper with proper colours. At

seven, he was able to draw with a pen and make the most difficult samples. Years went

by and the soul of Dong Ho folk paintings has kept seashell powder paint to the poonah￾paper.

In the 1940s, this craft flourished. At that time, he was assigned by his parents to

take the paintings to the market for sale. Mr. Sam said that 17 families in the village have

been engaged in making Dong Ho paintings.

10

Artisan Sam has always been devoted to the making of Dong Ho paintings and has

waited for opportunities to restore this traditional craft. In 1967, when the local

authorities assigned him to restore the traditional genre of Dong Ho folk paintings, he

gathered 50 villagers with professional skills and collected hundreds of woodblocks to

establish the Dong Ho Painting Cooperative. Thanks to his efforts, such famous painting

as "Rat's wedding", “Rooster”, “Scene of jealousy” and “Writing verses about precious

flowers" have been revived. Dong Ho paintings have been available in many parts of the

world such as Japan, France, Germany, Singapore and the United States.

28. In order to make Dong Ho paintings, we need _____.

A. woodblocks, seashell powder paint and the poonah-paper.

B. proper colours and woodblocks.

C. seashell powder paint and woodblocks.

D. seashell powder paint and proper colours.

29. From paragraph 3, we can infer that when Mr. Sam was very young, he

mostly helped his parents by ______

A. selling the paintings at the market.

B. keeping seashell powder paint and the poonah – paper.

C. drawing with a pen and using proper paints to make many difficult copies of paintings.

D. applying the paintings and learn to print the paper with proper colours.
