    As more people migrate to cities in search of better opportunities, they have created a phenomenon called urbanization. The phenomenon has resulted in serious problems that affect different social aspects. Therefore, it is vital to mitigate the negative effects of urbanization to promote balanced and sustainable urban planning.

    One fundamental aspect of managing urbanization is effective urban planning and infrastructure development. Well-designed cities with efficient public transportation, and public spaces can enable populations to grow without seriously affecting the quality of life. For example, if there are sufficient green spaces, inhabitants will find it easier to exercise and contribute to a healthier and more livable urban environment.

    Furthermore, sustainable architecture and construction practices play a crucial role in reducing the environmental impact of urbanization. Constructing energy-efficient buildings with renewable materials can contribute to reducing the ecological footprint of urban areas. Additionally, promoting mixed-use areas that integrate residential and commercial areas together with recreational spaces helps create a more sustainable urban landscape.

    To deal with the negative effects of urbanization, it also requires policies related to social and economic aspects. Equal access to education and healthcare is vital to make sure that everyone can receive the benefits. Housing initiatives along with economic policies that generate employment opportunities can help cope with the issues related to unaffordable housing and poverty in urban areas.

    In conclusion, the solutions to urbanization challenges should be eco-friendly and sustainable, which is beneficial to all the city inhabitants. With effective approaches and policies, cities can transform the challenges of urbanization into opportunities for creating a higher quality of life and environmentally conscious urban spaces.

Question 15. Which of the following could be the best title for the passage?

A. The Negative Effects of Urbanization

B. The Effective City Planning Strategies

C. The Solutions to Urbanization Issues

D. The Huge Challenges of Urbanization

Question 16. The word “inhabitants” in paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to ________.

A. city residents

B. city governments

C. urban employees

D. urban employers

Question 17. The phrase “Equal access” in paragraph 4 mostly means ________.

A. Everyone having the same competence

B. Everyone having the same benefit

C. Everyone having the same permission

D. Everyone having the same opportunity

Question 18. The word “unaffordable” is opposite in meaning to ________.

A. cost-saving

B. eco-friendly

C. reasonably-priced

D. energy-efficient

Question 19. Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage?

A. Urbanization occurs when there are a lot of migrants to cities.

B. All the city residents can’t have the same benefits from the healthcare policies.

C. More job opportunities can become one of the solutions to the housing problems.

D. Recreational spaces are included in mixed-used areas.

Read the passage and circle the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the best answer to each of the questions.

    Every nation has their own cultural characteristics that make its food customs special. Therefore, tourists should be highly aware of the cultural differences and keep in mind what to do and not to do at the table.

    First, the world’s diets are generally related to religious sensitivity. For example, if you visit the areas populated by Hindus in India, don’t expect to eat beef because cows are considered sacred, and the Hindus are not allowed to harm them. However, if you visit the areas where the locals are Islam, it’s impossible to order pork in a restaurant because Muslims are prohibited from eating pork. If you’re traveling to a Buddhist nation where the population is strictly vegan, don’t be annoyed if it takes you hours to find animal-based dishes because it’s taboo to serve them.

    Second, how people eat is determined by their culture. Some Asian countries that have their own particular noodle dishes require people to eat with chopsticks, which is completely different from eating with forks in Western countries. Chopsticks have been used to eat dishes like noodles for many generations. Therefore, learn how to use chopsticks properly so you can try some delicious noodles in Asian styles. In many Islamic nations, the locals eat with the right hand because the left hand is culturally considered dirty. In some Islamic communities, it might be difficult to find some kinds of cutlery tools like forks and chopsticks; if you were lucky enough to find some, they could be quite expensive.

    In summary, food customs are created under the influence of religious sensitivity and culture. Therefore, be mindful of the place you’re visiting and choose a place to eat carefully in order to show respect for the locals.

Question 20. Which of the following could be the best title for the passage?

A. How Differently People Practice Their Own Religions

B. How Different the World’s Food Customs Are

C. How Culture Affects the Way People Eat

D. How People Eat Affects Their Culture

Question 21. The word “sacred” in paragraph 2 is opposite in meaning to ________.

A. respected

B. cherished

C. honored

D. unholy

Question 22. The word “prohibited” in paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to ________.

A. discouraged

B. ordered

C. banned

D. advised

Question 23. The word “they” in paragraph 3 refers to ________.

A. tools

B. chopsticks

C. forks

D. communities

Question 24. According to paragraph 2, you will have trouble looking for some meat if

A. you are visiting an Islamic area

B. you are staying in a Hindu area

C. you are traveling in India

D. you are surrounded by vegan people

Question 25. Which of the following could be inferred from paragraph 3?

A. Asian dishes are completely different from Western dishes.

B. Forks are forbidden in some Islamic countries.

C. Western tourists should learn how to eat like the locals during their Asian trips.

D. Noodle dishes are considered the most convenient in Eastern Asian nations.

A. Eating meat is strictly forbidden in some Asian countries.

B. It’s taboo to eat with the left hand in some nations.

C. It’s crucial to use the right kitchen utensils.

D. People mustn’t eat some kinds of meat in some religions.

Slums, areas with poor-quality homes and few basic services, are a growing problem in many cities. When too many people move quickly from the countryside to cities for a better life, and cities struggle to build enough homes for everyone, so many people end up living in slums.

Slums have a huge number of serious effects. They are overcrowded and short of clean water and healthcare. This leads to diseases spreading and other health problems. People who live in slums often experience social isolation and have limited chances for education and jobs. This creates a cycle of poverty which is hard to break.

Fixing the problem of slums requires complicated solutions. Governments and city planners must focus on building affordable homes for the fast-growing number of residents. This might include things like government-funded housing programs or working with private companies. More appropriate social policies are required to help poor residents earn more money and get better education. We also need to improve living conditions in existing slums. More investment in better infrastructure like clean water, sanitation, and health clinics is also necessary.

Along with the government's support, other city residents should help slum dwellers gain education, job skills, and ways to manage money can break the cycle of poverty and build stronger communities.

For many businesses, the first working day of the Lunar New Year means the hope for prosperity and success. However, traditionally, certain taboos should be avoided on this day to ensure good luck and fortune.

One of the most common taboos is connected with cleanliness and hygiene. It is believed that sweeping the trash out of the store or office on the first day of opening can bring bad luck and push away a fortune for the entire year. Instead, it is advised to clean up the trash and dust, bag the rubbish, and leave it inside the office on the first day. This practice is believed to keep the store clean and attract positive energy and prosperity.

Another taboo to be mindful of is the use of tools or gadgets. Breaking tools and equipment on the first working day is considered unlucky and may lead to unfortunate incidents. Therefore, business owners and employees should be careful when using tools and equipment to avoid any accidents or mishaps.

When it comes to selling products, business owners or shopkeepers should be mindful of their actions and gestures. Turning their back to the entrance while selling products is seen as a symbol of turning away from good fortune and potential customers. To avoid this taboo, business owners should maintain an open and welcoming posture, facing toward the entrance of the store to invite prosperity and abundance.

Additionally, it is imperative to avoid returning goods on the opening day. This principle ensures smooth and successful transactions throughout the year. By keeping this taboo in mind, customers can show their respect for the local customs and traditions in the Lunar New Year.

In conclusion, the first working day of the Lunar New Year has special value for lots of businesses in Vietnam. By being mindful of traditional customs and taboos, businesses can set the stage for a prosperous year ahead.
