* Read this passage and write T (True), F (False) or N (No information) for each sentence.
Vietnam's education system can be divided into 5 categories: pre-primary, primary, intermediate, secondary, and higher education.
Public kindergartens usually admit children from the age of 8 months to 5 years. Children at 4 or 5 years of age are sometimes taught the alphabet and basic math. This level of education is only popular in major cities.
Children normally start their primary education at the age of six. Education at this level lasts 5 years and it is compulsory for all children. This compulsory education may be one of the reasons why, despite remaining a less developed country, the literate proportion of the country's population is very high, over
90% on average.
Middle schools teach students from grade 6 to 9. This educational level is generalized throughout most of the country - except in very remote provinces, which expect to popularize and standardize middle education fully within the next few years. Intermediate is a non-compulsory schooling form in Vietnam.
Secondary education, which consists of grades 10, 11 and 12, is standardized in all major urban regions, but is not in rural provinces. After 3 high school terms, all students must attend a graduation test. This test often consists of 6 subjects differently selected each year but has to contain the 3 compulsory ones:
Foreign Language (mostly English), Mathematics and Literature. The Vietnamese government intends to merge this test with the university entrance test in 2020.
*************************

......1. Pre-primary education in Vietnam is popularized all over the country.
......2. Primary education is compulsory in Vietnam.
......3. Students from grade 6 to 9 have to take an important examination to continue their education at high school.
......4. Secondary education is standardized in all over the country.
......10. The graduation test for all high school students often consists of 6 subjects which are fixed years after years.

NEW CAUSE FOUND FOR CRUISE SHIP ILLNESSES
On several different cruises during the past year, hundreds of passengers and crew members became
sick. Until recently, many people thought poor food handling was the cause of the illnesses on the cruise
ships. However, some doctors were not certain, and the actual cause of the illnesses was a mystery.
Now, a new report identified the cause of these recent illnesses.
A common virus called the Norwalk virus is responsible for some of the outbreaks. The Norwalk virus
spreads easily from person to person, but it is not caused by poor sanitation. Most people recover from
the illness quickly. There are ways to avoid the virus. Passengers and crew should wash their hands
often. People should also avoid touching their eyes, nose, and mouth. Large cruise ships carry thousands
of passengers and crew members and illnesses can spread quickly. With a few precautions, people can
stop the spread of virus.
______ 1 Many people on flights became sick.

St. Joseph's Cathedral

St. Joseph's Cathedral is one of the tourist attractions in Hanoi, capital of Vietnam. The cathedral is a Roman Catholic cathedral and it is located at 40 Nha Chung Street. Its architectural style was described as resembling Notre Dame de Paris. The church was built by the French colonial government. In 1882, after the French army took control of Hanoi, the cathedral was constructed and completed in 1886. The cathedral and Nha Chung area were built on the land formerly belonging to Bao Thien pagoda. The cathedral is 64.5m in length, 20.5m in width with two bell towers of 31.5m-height. Although the appearance of the cathedral follows Western style, the main interior part is decorated in Vietnamese way with two typical colors yellow and red. Outside, in front of the cathedral is the statue of Mother Maria. The first Christmas took place in the cathedral in 1887. Since then, the cathedral is always crowded with hundreds of people including both Christians and non-Christians at the weekend or during religious holidays like Christmas.

Read the passage carefully and choose the correct answer.

Even where there is an efficient 'door – to – door' delivery system, there are additional advantages in using Post Office (PO) boxes. There are certain conveniences for using PO boxes.

PO boxes allow mail to be pick up when sorted, rather than when it is delivered to the physical address, which will be hours later.

A mail user who regularly receives large parcels or items that must be signed for may find it convenient to pick up the rest of the mail at the same time.

A mail user who moves frequently can keep a mailing address.

A mail user may desire a more famous or prestigious address. For example, in Washington, D.C., many large P.O. box facilities are located near or even outside city limits.

A business receiving large volumes of mail may maintain separate post office boxes for separate departments, such as one for sales, one for customer service, to reduce the need to sort internally.

PO boxes are more secure than many home mailboxes, preventing mail theft and identity theft.

If you live on a boat, PO boxes can serve as your address, but are not necessary.

36. A PO box is more convenient for a mail user who frequently moves.

a. True b. False c. No information

37. If you use a PO box, you can get your mail earlier than you use a door-to-door delivery system.

a. True b. False c. No information

38. Home mailboxes are surely opened by mail thieves.

39. Each business can rent only one PO box.

a. True b. False c. No information
