Read the following passage about Vietnamese cultural identity and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your
answer sheet to indicate the best answer to each of the following questionsfrom 23 to 30.

Vietnamese cultural identity is a rich and intricate tapestry that reflects the nation's long and storied history.
Rooted in over a thousand years of civilization, Vietnam's cultural identity is a fusion of indigenous
traditions and external influences, shaped by its geographical location and historical interactions.

First and foremost, at the heart of Vietnamese culture is a deep reverence for family and community.
Confucian values emphasizing respect for elders, filial piety, and social harmony have played a pivotal role
in shaping Vietnamese society. These values are reflected in the close-knit family structures, hierarchical
relationships, and communal rituals that are integral to daily life.

Secondly, Vietnamese cuisine is celebrated worldwide for its exquisite flavors and diversity. With its
emphasis on fresh ingredients, fragrant herbs, and balanced flavors, Vietnamese food tells a story of the
country's agricultural heritage and regional variations. Iconic dishes like pho, banh mi, and spring rolls have
become global favorites, representing the culinary artistry deeply ingrained in Vietnamese culture. Also,
Vietnam's artistic expressions are equally captivating. Traditional art forms like water puppetry, silk
painting, and folk music continue to thrive alongside contemporary artistic movements. Ao dai, a graceful
traditional dress, exemplifies the fusion of elegance and modesty in Vietnamese fashion, symbolizing
cultural pride and identity.

Today, in the face of modernization and globalization, Vietnamese cultural identity remains resilient. While
adapting to the challenges of the 21st century, the Vietnamese people continue to honor their traditions,
celebrate their unique cultural expressions, and pass on their heritage to future generations, ensuring that
their cultural identity remains vibrant and enduring.

Read the following passage about news and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate
the best answer to each of the following questions from 31 to 40.

Keeping up with what is happening in the world is generally seen as an essential part of being a well-
informed and educated citizen. Watching, listening to or reading the news can satisfy our curiosity, make us
think, help us make choices and even avoid danger. However, people are increasingly wondering if staying
up to date with what is going on is good for us.

The frequency, speed and way we access news has completely changed over the past few decades. Whereas
previously most newspapers were published daily and TV and radio news broadcasts were limited, now we
are constantly bombarded with news from all sides; we have 24-hour news channels.

The content of news reports is almost always negative. [I] Throughout history, our survival has depended on
noticing threats and avoiding danger, so the human brain is hard-wired to seek out information that is
frightening or alarming.[II] It is about humans paying more attention to negative things because that kept us
alive in the past and this is reflected in the news we consume. [III] In addition, because people now use
smartphones to record events live, the news we see has become far more graphic and shocking.[IV]

Recent studies have shown that our news habits have disadvantages for our physical and emotional health.
In one survey, over 50 percent of Americans reported that the news caused them stress and anxiety, often
causing tiredness or poor sleep. Research by psychology expert Graham Davey has also proved that
watching terrible or sad news on TV can worsen people's moods and make them worry more about their
own lives. Exposure to this ever-increasing bad news can take a toll on our positivity and affect our health.

While it is true that staying aware and informed is not a bad thing, we should not forget that we have a
choice, not only about how much news we consume, but equally importantly about the kind of news
we want to see.
