VI/ Read the passage, and choose the correct answer A, B, C or D for each question.
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.
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 patterns.
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. In order to meet market demands, artisans in Long Dinh ___________.
A. try to produce various types of products
B. stop producing the traditional sedge mats

2. We can infer from the sentence “Weaving sedge mats is similar to growing rice” that ___________. A. both bring similar income
B. both occur at the same time
C. both depend on weather conditions
D. both occur on the same land
3. Despite difficulties, people in Long Dinh try to follow the craft because___________.
A. they can make the techniques of weaving different
B. they can earn more money than growing rice
C. they can have jobs in the rainy months
D. they can go to Korea, Japan and America
4. We can infer from the passage that ___________.
A. the craft contributes much to the village economy
B. most of the households in Long Dinh village live on weaving mats
C. the new technique makes labourers work in the dry season
D. Long Dinh mat production is only well-known in foreign markets
5. All of the following are true about the craft in Long Dinh EXCEPT that ___________.
A. the techniques are a little bit different from those in other regions
