III. Read the following passage carefully and choose the best answer to each question.
The culture of Vietnam is one of the oldest in the Southeast Asia region. Although Vietnam lies
geographically in Southeast Asia, long periods of Chinese domination and influence has resulted in the emergence of
many East Asian characteristics in Vietnamese culture, and generally Vietnam is said to be a part of the East Asian
cultural sphere, known widely as Chinese cultural sphere.
Despite considerable foreign influence, Vietnamese people have managed to retain many distinct
customs. While Chinese culture has the largest influence on traditional Vietnamese culture, there is also a
much smaller influence from the Cham and later Western cultures, most notably of France, Russia and the
United States. In term of prehistory, most Vietnamese historians consider the ancient Dong Son Culture to
be one of the defining aspects of early Vietnamese civilization.
Vietnam’s population in 2006 was 84,402,966, with a population density of 253 people per km 2. Most
people live in or near the densely populous Red River or Mekong deltas. Due to the nation’s southward
expansion throughout its history, along with the different climate and environment met by the settlers as they
moved further south, slightly different regional cultures began to emerge, most notably between Northern and
Southern Vietnam.

A. is the youngest in Asia B. does not get any Asian characteristics
C. was influenced by that of China D. was greatly dominated by that of Western
2. Which culture has not affected the Vietnamese one?

B. have many diverse nation customs C. highly appreciate the Western influence on their culture
D. failed to retain the native customs

5. Which statement is true?
A. The North and the South of Vietnam have the same regional cultures.
B. The Mekong delta is more populous than the Red River one.
C. Red River delta is densely populous.
D. Vietnamese people do not like living in the deltas.
