Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheer to indicate the correct answer to
each of the questions from 41 to 45.
When people plan to marry, they expect to find in their partner not only a lover but a friend also. They find a
person with whom they can share their opinions, their emotions, thoughts and fears. In marriage we are looking for a
partner who will be able to understand our values, our likes and dislikes.
 If a man and a woman are born and raised in the same country, most likely they are familiar with the same songs,
movies, jokes, books and life in general. They basically have the same roots. In the case of a western man and foreign
woman family everything is more complicated and requires much more patience and understanding from both
spouses. On one hand each of the partners has an opportunity to learn a great deal about the other's country, culture,
traditions and life styles which can be very interesting. On the other hand it can be very disappointing if there is the
inability to understand your partner's excitements and frustrations. For example, you are watching the television and
suddenly you see a famous actor or singer, or other type of an artist whose name you have grown up with. Maybe this
artist was an idol for your parents and the music of this artist was often played in your house when you were a child.
Unfortunately you realize that your wife is unable to understand your feelings because she has no idea who this artist
is. Her eyes are absolutely empty because she has never even heard the song before. You feel rather disappointed!
Remember that your wife has the same situation with you. You do not know her country's songs, her country's famous
actors, her books. She has her own memories and in actuality, for her, everything is much more difficult than it is for
you. At least, you live in your own country where everybody can understand you. She lives in completely strange
surroundings, where she has nobody to share her feelings with, except you.
Do some research and learn about your wife's country, culture and lifestyles. Talk with her, ask her questions, get
to know what songs she likes, what movies and books are of interest to her. The Internet will give you a great
opportunity to find anything! Tell her about your country's culture, let her listen to the music that you like, rent a
movie for her that left you with great impression. Let her understand you better through the things that you like.
Patience and time will help you to fight cultural differences.
Question 41: A spouse should ________.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheer to indicate the correct answer to
each of the questions from 41 to 45.
In the past, both men and women were expected to be married at quite young ages. Marriages were generally
arranged by parents and family, with their children having little chance to say no in the matter. In the past it was not
surprising to find that a bride and groom had only just met on the day of their engagement or marriage. In modern
Vietnam, this has changed completely as people choose their own marriage-partners based on love, and in
consideration primarily to their own needs and wants. Moreover early marriage is quite illegal.
The traditional Vietnamese wedding is one of the most important of traditional Vietnamese occasions. Regardless
of westernization, many of the age-old customs practiced in a traditional Vietnamese wedding continue to be
celebrated by both Vietnamese in Vietnam and overseas, often combining both western and eastern elements. Besides
the wedding ceremony, there is also an engagement ceremony which takes place usually half a year or so before the
wedding. Due to the spiritual nature of the occasion, the date and time of the marriage ceremony are decided in
advance by a fortune teller. The traditional Vietnamese wedding consists of an extensive array of ceremonies: the first
is the ceremony to ask permission to receive the bride, the second is the procession to receive the bride (along with the
ancestor ceremony at her house), the third is to bring the bride to the groom's house for another ancestor ceremony and
to welcome her into the family, then the last is a wedding banquet. The number of guests in attendance at these
banquets is huge, usually in the hundreds. Several special dishes are served. Guests are expected to bring gifts, often
money, which the groom and bride at one point in the banquet will go from table to table collecting.
