VI. Read the passage and choose the best answer.
Today, more and more women are actively participating in social activities both in urban and rural areas. Specifically, they have shined brightly in even many fields commonly regarded as the man’s areas such as business, scientific research and social management. In some areas, women even show more overwhelming power than men. The image of contemporary Vietnamese women with creativeness, dynamism, and success has become popular in Vietnam’s society. The fact reveals that the gender gap has been remarkably narrowed and women enjoy many more opportunities to pursue their social careers and obtain success, contributing to national socio-economic development. According to Ms. Le Thi Quy, Director of the Gender/and Development Research Centre under the University of Social Sciences and Humanities, Hanoi National University, gender equity in Vietnam has reached a high level over the past decade. The rate of Vietnamese women becoming National Assembly members from the 9th term to the 11th term increased 8.7%, bringing the proportion of Vietnamese women in authority to 27.3%, the highest rate in Southeast Asia. There is no big gap in the level of literacy and schooling between men and women. Women account for about 37% of university and college graduates, 19.9% of doctoral degree holders and 6.7% of professors and associate professors.
The legitimate rights of women and children are ensured more than ever before with more complete legal documents including laws, conventions and national action plans, among which the laws on “gender equity” mark a turning-point in the empowerment of women.
Mass media also highlights the continued success of women in every field and honors their great importance in modern society, helping to do away with outdated perceptions about traditional women’s duties. Many projects on reproductive health care, children protection, and family income improvement jointly conducted by various mass organizations, state agencies and non-governmental organizations have created favorable conditions for women to become involved.

A. have few opportunities to develop their intellectual ability
B. have only shined brightly in doing housework

Andrew, who was already a Lego fan, sent in an application. It included a video of himself making models. The company loved it and invited him to participate in an unusual interview. He had to compete against seven other finalists in a model-building test. Andrew won. As a result, he was employed at Legoland Discovery Centre in Illinois as a Master Model Builder. “Lego was just a hobby, but now I can do what I love and get paid for it,” said Andrew happily in an interview.

Then he read an article about film taggers. The job was so fantastic, and he wrote to Netflix. At first, they weren’t interested, but when Joe told them he speaks fluent French, they gave him a job. He watches French films and TV programmes. “It’s a great job because I can have flexible working hours,” he said. The only problem with the job is that Joe can’t choose what he wants to watch.

VIII. Read the following passage and choose the correct answer to each of the questions.
Plastics which were produced from fossil fuels are just over a century old, but they have revolutionized our life completely. The great advantages plastic offered led to a throwaway trend that made us discover plastic’s dark side: the threat it poses to our environment and life. Plastic pollution is one of the main causes of marine species extinction, health problems for human beings and animals alike, and the destruction of our ecosystems. According to Greenpeace, more than 100,000 sea creatures and a million sea birds die every year after eating plastic or getting trapped in plastic rubbish.
Every year, the world produces more than 380 million tonnes of plastic. In the next second while you’re reading this paragraph, people around the globe will use more than 160,000 plastic bags and they’ll throw away more than 20,000 plastic bottles. About 10% of plastic will be recycled, and some will go to landfills, but a lot of it will end up in the waterways and eventually in the ocean. Experts estimate that there are already 5.25 trillion pieces of plastic waste in the world’s oceans. Because plastic isn’t biodegradable, it won’t decompose naturally, so all the plastic that we have now in the world will exist forever. Experts are warning that if we don’t take urgent action, plastics in the ocean will outweigh fish by 2050. There are many ways we can keep plastic out of the ocean. We can swap plastic bags for reusable ones which are made of cloth or fiber, reduce the use of disposable cutlery as well as food containers, and avoid plastic wrappings if possible. We can also join in clean-up campaigns in your local community. Every little helps!
