Choose the correct answer to each of the questions.

Until the 19th century, the denial of equal rights to women met with only occasional protest and drew little attention from most people. Because most women lacked the educational and economic resources that would enable them to challenge the prevailing social order, women generally accepted  their inferior status as their only option. At this time, women shared these disadvantages with the majority of working class men, as many social, economic, and political rights were restricted to the wealthy elite [phần tử ưu tú]. In the 19th century, as governments in Europe and North America began to draft new laws guaranteeing equality among men, significant numbers of women – and some men – began to demand that women be accorded equal rights as well.

At the same time, the Industrial Revolution in Europe and North America further divided the  roles of men and women. Before the Industrial Revolution most people worked in farming or crafts- making, both of which took place in or near the home. Men and women usually divided the numerous tasks among themselves and their children. Industrialization led male workers to seek employment outside of the home in factories and other large-scale [extensivve]enterprises. The growing split between home and work reinforced the idea that women’s “rightful place” was in the home, while men belonged in the public world of employment and politics.

Organized efforts by women to achieve greater rights occurred in two major waves. The first wave began around the mid-19th century, when women in the United States and elsewhere campaigned to gain suffrage [ right to vote in political elections]– that is, the right to vote. This wave lasted until the 1920s, when several countries granted women suffrage.

Today, more and more women are actively participating in social activities both in urban and rural areas. Specially, 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, 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 horrors their great importance in modern society, helping to do away with out-dated perceptions about traditional women’s duties. Many projects on reproductive health care, children protection, and family income improvement jointly conducted by various mass organizations, sate agencies and non-governmental organizations have created favorable conditions for women to become involved.

B. READING: (3 points)

I. Read the text below then circle the correct answer A, B, C or D:

Solar energy is a long lasting source of energy which can be used almost anywhere. To generate solar energy, we only need solar cells and the sun. Solar cells can easily be installed on house roofs, so no new space is needed and each user can quietly generate their own energy. Compared to other renewable sources, they also possess many advantages: wind and water power relies on turbines which are noisy, expensive and easy to break down. Solar cells are totally silent and non-polluting. As they have no moving parts, they require little maintenance and have a long lifetime.

However, solar energy also has some disadvantages. We can only generate solar energy during daytime because the system depends on sunlight. Besides, solar cells require large area to work effectively. The main disadvantage of solar energy is that it costs about twice as much as traditional sources such as coal,  oil and gas. This is because solar cells are expensive. Scientists are hoping that the costs of solar cells will reduce as more and more people see the advantages of this environmentally friendly source of energy.

Nowadays gymnastics are very popular in China and some other Asian countries. Modern gymnastics began there in the nineteenth century. In 1811, an outdoor gymnastics centre for men was open in Berlin where they could do bodybuilding and exercises on a high bar and other pieces of equipment.

Dance is an important part of training as it prepares you for the types of movement required in gymnastics. One of the aims is to make the body stronger for jumps and turns. In competitions, women perform the exercises with music so dance, gymnastics and music are connected.

To become a top gymnast, it is important to start when very young, that is, when you are still in your kindergarten with simple exercises. Boys developed physically later than girls so Olympic gymnastics medals are usually won by men between the ages of nineteen and twenty-five while girl champions are fourteen or fifteen years old.

A.            For men to do gymnastics with equipment.

B.            For women to do gymnastics.

C.            For people to do outdoors gymnastics.

D.            For men to do gymnastics without equipment

3.            Why is dance an important part of gymnastics training?

A.            Because it helps you to be stronger.

B.            Because it is a sport.

C.            Because it includes the types of movements required in gymnastics.

D.            Because it makes you jump and turn.

4.            Why are women younger than men among the Olympic medal winners?

A.            Male athletes are older than female athletes in all games.

C.            Women are physically stronger than men.
