the correct answer to each of the questions from 29 to 33.
A group of foreign tourists' memories of Vietnam are almost certainly scarred after they
were ripped off on the fourth day of the Lunar New Year. They were forced to pay nearly VND16.5
million (US$702) for a meal of 14 dishes and ten beers at a restaurant in tourism hotspot Nha
Trang, Khanh Hoa Province, with several simple dishes costing exorbitant prices. The restaurant
owner explained to authorities after the bill started circulating on social media that the vegetables
were fried with beef, the porridge was cooked with lobsters and that food sources were limited at
that time due to the Lunar New Year holiday. The restaurant was fined for not having fixed food
prices in line with administrative regulations. However, the VND750,000 ($32) fine was miles less
than the profit they made that night. At another restaurant also in Nha Trang over the holiday,
tourists were ripped off with a bill for VND800,000 ($34) for four sets of rice and VND l.5 million
($64) for three sets of eggs fried with tomatoes.
Travel scams have been recognized as a problem for Vietnamese tourism. The national
code of conduct for local and international tourists, tour operators and residential communities at
tourism spots issued by the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism in 2017 specifies rules
applicable to tourism, hotel and transport service providers and sellers, refraining them from
disturbing tourists, overcharging and selling low-quality or fake products. But the code of conduct
seems to have had little effect in reality. Even though the problem has only been reported in
certain localities, travel scams such as overcharging for restaurants, hotels, taxi fares, vendors,
shopping traps and pickpocketing have scarred the whole country's tourism success. Like a rotten
apple which spoils the barrel, travel scams have held back the country's efforts to boost service
quality-oriented tourism.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate
the correct answer to each of the questions from 34 to 40.
Late on the evening of March 22nd, a group of gunmen unleashed terror upon attendees
gathered to enjoy a rock concert by the band Piknik at the Crocus City complex in Krasnogorsk, a city on
the western outskirts of Moscow, Russia. Located approximately 20 kilometers from the Kremlin, the
venue, with a capacity of 6,200 people, had sold out tickets for the event. The attack occurred as the
audience settled into their seats in anticipation of the performance, as reported by TASS.
According to Russian investigators, the gunmen, dressed in military attire, opened fire with
Kalashnikov automatic rifles on those present in the concert hall. Shouts and screams echoed as
victims scrambled to flee. Some lay motionless after being struck by bullets, while others sought
refuge in escape routes. "There was a stampede. People were running towards the exits," recounted
one eyewitness, as cited by Reuters.
TASS reported that a group of individuals was apprehended enroute to the Ukrainian border.
One of the suspects confessed to participating in the attack "for money, around 500,000 rubles
(approximately 140 million dong)." He claimed he was contacted through an app called Telegram and
given weapons by someone else. Responding to these revelations from Russia, Andriy Yusov, a
spokesperson for the Intelligence Directorate of the Ukrainian Ministry of Defense, asserted that the
Kyiv authorities were not involved in the recent terrorist attack on Russian soil, as reported by
Reuters.
Russian security authorities announced the arrest of 11 suspects involved in the deadly attack,
which claimed the lives of at least 133 people and left over 100 others injured at the music concert. By
last night, Russia declared that all four gunmen, rather than the initially reported five, believed to have
participated in the assault, were in custody. Addressing the nation last night, Russian President
Vladimir Putin pledged to pursue and punish those responsible for the heinous act.
This horrifying attack has shocked Russia, and people are mourning the lives lost. It's a stark
reminder of the threat of terrorism and the need for countries to work to fight it.
