Sedge Mat Craft Village In Tien Giang Province
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.
14
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 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 pattems.
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.
1. All of the following are true about the craft in Long Dinh EXCEPT that
.
A.it has the origin from Kim Son, Ninh Binh
B.it has had the reputation for more than 50 years
C.the techniques are a little bit different from those in other regions
D.the mats have more attractive colours and designs
2. We can infer from the sentence "Weaving sedge mats is similar growing rice” that
.
A.both depend on weather conditions
B.both occur on the same land
C.both bring similar income
D. both occur at the same time
3. Despite difficulties, people in Long Dinh try to follow the craft because
.
A.they can have jobs in the rainy months
B.they can go to Korea, Japan and America
C.they can make the techniques of weaving different
D.they can earn more money than growing rice
4. In order to meet market demands, artisans in Long Dinh .
A.produce new products from rare material
B.hire thousands of local labourers
C.try to produce various types of products
D.stop producing the traditional sedge mats
5. We can infer from the passage that
.
A.the new technique makes labourers work in the dry season
B.Long Dinh mat production is only well-known in foreign markets
C.the craft contributes much to the village economy
D.most of the households in Long Dinh village live on weaving mats
II. Read the passage, and choose the correct answer A, B, C or D for each questions.
Ho Chi Minh City's Coffee Culture
Ho Chi Minh City is a metropolis where life is very busy and hasty. The best way to enjoy the
balance in your mind in such a busy city is to sit on the balcony of one of the numerous coffee houses
scattered throughout the city. In this way you will be out of the crowd but able to look down on the
street below. You will also be drinking the beverage that must be at least partly responsible for the
kinetic energy that has transformed this city into one of the busiest commercial centres of Southeast
Asia in just 20 years – it is coffee.
15
The classic Vietnamese coffee served in this city comprises strong coffee, dripped from a small
metal filter into a cup containing a quarter as much sweetened condensed milk, then stirred and
poured over ice in a glass.
Coffee was introduced to Viet Nam by the French in the late 19th century, but the country quickly
became a big exporter.
At Trung Nguyen Coffee - the Vietnamese equivalent of Starbucks, with a chain of cafés across
the city - the coffee menu stretches to five pages. The varieties of Vietnamese coffee produced by
Trung Nguyen deserve exploration. They come with different bean combinations and recipes, and
nice names such as “Success”, “Creation”, “Discover” and “Thought”. The "Passiona", another brand
of Trung Nguyen, has been promoted for women with the promise that drinking this type of coffee
would maintain perfect skin and a life of “passion and success”.
36.Coffee is considered __________
A. the biggest part of Viet Nam's exports
B. part of the kinetic energy of Ho Chi Minh City

Sedge Mat Craft Village In Tien Giang Province
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.
14
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 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 pattems.
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.
1. All of the following are true about the craft in Long Dinh EXCEPT that
.
A.it has the origin from Kim Son, Ninh Binh
B.it has had the reputation for more than 50 years
C.the techniques are a little bit different from those in other regions
D.the mats have more attractive colours and designs
2. We can infer from the sentence "Weaving sedge mats is similar growing rice” that
.
A.both depend on weather conditions
B.both occur on the same land
C.both bring similar income
D. both occur at the same time
3. Despite difficulties, people in Long Dinh try to follow the craft because
.
A.they can have jobs in the rainy months
B.they can go to Korea, Japan and America
C.they can make the techniques of weaving different
D.they can earn more money than growing rice
4. In order to meet market demands, artisans in Long Dinh .
A.produce new products from rare material
B.hire thousands of local labourers
C.try to produce various types of products
D.stop producing the traditional sedge mats
5. We can infer from the passage that
.
A.the new technique makes labourers work in the dry season
B.Long Dinh mat production is only well-known in foreign markets
C.the craft contributes much to the village economy
D.most of the households in Long Dinh village live on weaving mats
II. Read the passage, and choose the correct answer A, B, C or D for each questions.
Ho Chi Minh City's Coffee Culture
Ho Chi Minh City is a metropolis where life is very busy and hasty. The best way to enjoy the
balance in your mind in such a busy city is to sit on the balcony of one of the numerous coffee houses
scattered throughout the city. In this way you will be out of the crowd but able to look down on the
street below. You will also be drinking the beverage that must be at least partly responsible for the
kinetic energy that has transformed this city into one of the busiest commercial centres of Southeast
Asia in just 20 years – it is coffee.
15
The classic Vietnamese coffee served in this city comprises strong coffee, dripped from a small
metal filter into a cup containing a quarter as much sweetened condensed milk, then stirred and
poured over ice in a glass.
Coffee was introduced to Viet Nam by the French in the late 19th century, but the country quickly
became a big exporter.
At Trung Nguyen Coffee - the Vietnamese equivalent of Starbucks, with a chain of cafés across
the city - the coffee menu stretches to five pages. The varieties of Vietnamese coffee produced by
Trung Nguyen deserve exploration. They come with different bean combinations and recipes, and
nice names such as “Success”, “Creation”, “Discover” and “Thought”. The "Passiona", another brand
of Trung Nguyen, has been promoted for women with the promise that drinking this type of coffee
would maintain perfect skin and a life of “passion and success”.
36.Coffee is considered __________
A. the biggest part of Viet Nam's exports
B. part of the kinetic energy of Ho Chi Minh City
C. the symbol of the busy and hasty life
D. part of the French culture
37.When you sit on the balcony of a coffee...
