The yêm is an ancient common upper-body garment for Vietnamese girls and women for thousands of years until after World War II, when Western dressing style entered and became popular. (A) A yêm was a sexy simply-cut piece of usually simple cloth, which could be either outerwear or undershirt. As Vietnam has a tropical climate with hot and humid summers, the lighter and airier the clothes are the better. (B) The yêm was the solution in the old days for Vietnamese people to the environment. Colours and materials of the yêm reflected the woman’s age and social status. Older women tended to wear round-necked, and younger ones the v-neck style. (C) The working-class women wore dark colours such as black, beige, or brown, and coarse cloth, while the elite opted for more festive, brighter tones such as red and pink or white, normally in dedicate cloth such as silk or satin.

(D)Throughout history, the design of the yêm stayed almost the same. However, there was much room for flexibility. When a woman was young, she tied the strings loosely to let the neck come lower, especially when she wore necklaces. When she got older, she pulled the strings tighter to raise the neck higher. This is a good  example of the Vietnamese dressing style –simplicity but with a height of delicacy and sexiness.

The yêm dates to the Hung Kings (2879 BC -258 AD). Evidence can be found in  the  images of women in decoration on a Dong Xa bronze drum, cast  over 2,000 years ago. It made its way down to around 1945 as a traditional costume exclusively of Vietnamese  women. Photos of Vietnamese  women in the 1940s still showed  some of  them wearing the yêm. From the mid-20th century, along with the decline of the yêm to give way for Western dressing trends, many traditions disappeared, such as tying the hair around the head, or having the teeth dyed. Recently, the yêm is making a comeback, but only on the catwalk.

  • The yêm has declined in popularity since 1945 to give way for Western dressing style.
  • The yêm has become a traditional costume specially made for Vietnamese women since 1945.

  • The yêm was once popular clothes in women’s daily life.

In the early 1800’s, over 80 percent of the United States labor force was engaged in agriculture. Sophisticated technology and machinery were virtually nonexistent. People who lived in the cities and were not directly involved in trade often participated in small cottage industries making handcrafted goods. Others cured meats, silversmiths, candle or otherwise  produced needed goods and commodities. Blacksmiths, silversmiths, candle makers, and other artisans worked in their homes or barns, relying on help of family.

[A] Perhaps no single phenomenon brought more widespread and lasting change to the United States society than the rise of industrialization. Industrial growth hinged on several economic factors. First, industry requires an abundance of natural resources, especially coal, iron ore, water, petroleum, and timber-all readily available on the North American continent. Second, factories demand a large labor supply. Between the 1870’s and the First World War (1914-1918), approximately 23 million immigrants streamed to the United States, settled in cities, and went to work in factories and mines. They also helped build the vast network of canals and railroads that crisscrossed the continent and linked important trade centers essential to industrial growth.

[B] Factories also offered a reprieve from the backbreaking work and financial unpredictability associated with farming. Many adults, poor and disillusioned with farm life, were lured to the cities by promises of steady employment, regular paychecks, increased access to goods and services, and expanded social opportunities. Others were pushed there when new technologies made their labor cheap or expendable; inventions such as steel plows and mechanized harvesters allowed one farmhand to perform work that previously had required several, thus making farming capital-intensive rather than labor-intensive.

[C] Whereas cottage industries relied on a few highly skilled craft workers who slowly and carefully converted raw materials into finished products from start to finish, factories relied on specialization. While factory work was less creative and more monotonous, it was also more efficient and allowed mass production of goods at less expense. [D]

What aspect of life in the United States does the passage mainly discuss?

  • The inventions that transformed life in the nineteenth century
  • The problems associated with the earliest factories
  • The difficulty of farm life in the nineteenth century
  • The transition from an agricultural to an industrial economy

What was true in the United States economy in the early 19th century?

  • A big amount of labor was employed in agriculture
  • Machinery was used for the first time
  • People were involved in trade to earn money
  • Sophisticated technology first appeared

Blacksmiths, silversmiths, and candle makers are mentioned in paragraph 1 as examples of artisans who ______.

  • directly involved in trade
  • produced unusual goods
  • helped their families a lot
  • did their businesses at home

According to the passage, which of the following is NOT a reason for the industrial growth in the United States before 1914?

  • The abundance of natural resources in the United States
  • The low supply of labor employed in factories
  • The big network of canals and railroads across the continent
  • The smaller number of farms due to new technologies

The word “lured” in paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to______.

  • attached
  • attracted
  • limited
  • gathered

The word “Others” in paragraph 3 refers to ______.

  • social opportunities
  • promises
  • goods and services
  • adults

What is the main idea of paragraph 3?

  • What American factories offered their farmers
  • How much capital was needed in American factories
  • What led American farmers to leaving their farm
  • How technology affected the American work force

What does the author mean when stating that certain inventions made farming “capital-intensive rather than labor-intensive”?

  • Workers had to be trained to operate the new machines.
  • The new inventions were not helpful for all farming activities.
  • Mechanized farming required more capital and fewer laborers.
  • Human labor could still accomplish as much work as the first machines.

In which space (marked A, B, C and D in the passage) will the following sentence fit?

“The United States economy underwent a massive transition and the nature of work was permanently altered.”

  • [A]
  • [B]
  • [C]
  • [D]

Which of the following statements would the author most probably support?

  • The United States witnessed the prosperity of industrialization in a short duration.
  • The United States farming was under the utmost influence of industrialization process.
  • Both economic and social factors resulted in the rise of industrialization in the United States.
  • Crucial changes in the United States society were generated by the industrial growth.

It can take a long time to become successful in your chosen field, however talented you are. One thing you have to be of is that you will face criticism along the way. The world is of people who would rather say something negative than positive. If you’ve made up your to achieve a certain goal, such as writing a novel, the negative criticism of others prevent you from reaching your target, and let the constructive criticism have a positive effect on your work. If someone says you’re totally in the of talent, ignore them. That’s negative criticism. If,, someone advises you to revise your work and gives you a good reason for doing so, you should consider their suggestions carefully. There are many film stars were once out of work. There are many famous novelists who made a complete mess of their first novel – or who didn’t, but had to keep on approaching hundreds of publishers before they could get it . Being successful does depend on luck, to a extent. But things are more likely to well if you persevere and stay positive.

Some people assert that playing games is important for adults. In my opinion, the importance of playing games depends on the types of games considered. (1)______________.

The games that are important for adults to play include those requiring action, intensive thinking and team work. It has been medically proven that physical training is extremely important for adults. It helps not only to maintain fitness, but also enhance the capacity of  thinking  and working. Therefore, participating in sports games, such as basketball, football, tennis and other action games is essential. Games that require intensive thinking develop logic, attention and unconventional approach. (2) ______________. And last, but not least, games that involve team work are important to develop further communicability,  ability  to  make  correct  decisions  with  consideration  of  opinions of different  people  and  other  skills,  because  these  skills  are  often  used  in  everyday situations.

Still there are other types of games  that may be harmful. These are majorly computer games, which cause  severe  eye  pain  and  exposure to radiation. (3) ______________, computer games not only  harm  health, but  also have a negative impact on the working capacity. Many companies have stringent  rules  against their employees playing games during work-hours.

(4)  ______________.  These  are  games  played  for  money. On one hand, winning such a game the player feels positive emotions, which have an overall positive influence on the player’s health and financial situation. On the other hand, loosing the game can drive the person playing into disappointment and even into depression, thus harming his health, not to mention the loss of money.Thus, in my opinion, the importance of adults playing games can be evaluated depending on the level of positive or negative influences that those games may have on the person involved.
