Culture is the lens with which we evaluate everything around us; we evaluate what is proper or improper, normal or abnormal, through our culture. If we are immersed in a culture that is unlike our own, we may experience culture shock and become disoriented when we come into contact with a fundamentally different culture. People naturally use their own culture as the standard to judge other cultures; however, passing judgment could reach a level where people begin to discriminate against others whose “ways of being” are different than their own—essentially, we tend to fear that which we do not understand. Cultural diversity is important because our country, workplaces, and schools increasingly consist of various cultural, racial, and ethnic groups. We can learn from one another, but first we must have a level of understanding about each other in order to facilitate collaboration and cooperation. Learning about other cultures helps us understand different perspectives within the world in which we live and helps dispel negative stereotypes and personal biases about different groups. In addition, cultural diversity helps us recognize and respect “ways of being” that are not necessarily our own, so that as we interact with others, we can build bridges to trust, respect, and understanding across cultures. Furthermore, this diversity makes our country a more interesting place to live, as people from diverse cultures contribute language skills, new ways of thinking, new knowledge, and different experiences.

As a result of globalisation, the world is becoming more and more connected. This has changed people's way of life, beliefs, art and customs, or their culture, in many respects. Although people's experiences around the world have become very similar, globalisation has also encouraged cultural diversity. Below are some examples. Fast food chains and international restaurants have become popular, offering a wide range of dishes and more food choices to local people. For example, here in Viet Nam, we can enjoy Italian pizza or Japanese sushi, in addition to our traditional food. Moreover, some international dishes use localingredients, which make them unique and more suitable to local tastes. On the other hand, Vietnamese specialties, such as pho and banh mi, are also gaining popularity worldwide. Thanks to globalisation, people can quickly discover new music from all over the world. People nowadays enjoy listening to music from different countries and cultures, and in different languages. For example, American teens are captivated by K-pop music and dance. There are also many music festivalsaround the globe that bring artists and music fans together. In today's connected world, it is very commonfor musicians across the world to work on music projects and share ideas together. Globalisation has also impacted fashion by opening it up to a variety of styles and influences from around the world. Cross-cultural styles that blend both traditional and modern elements are on the rise. This presents opportunities for fashion designers to be creative and reflect the cultural richness of the world. It is now easier for people to keep up with fashion trends from different cultures and regions, andexpress their identities in new and exciting ways. In conclusion, globalisation has helped strengthen cultural diversity in the world and made people appreciate different cultures and lifestyles. (Adapted from Global Success) Question 1.

In 1812 a young man called James Barry finished his studies in medicine at Edinburgh University. After graduating he moved to London where he studied surgery at Guy’s Hospital. After that the popular young doctor joined the army and over the next forty years had a brilliant career as an army medical officer, working in many far-off countries and fighting successfully for improved conditions in hospitals. It was a remarkable career - made even more remarkable by the discovery upon his death that he was in fact a she, James Barry was a woman. No one was more surprised at this discovery than her many friends and colleagues. It was true that throughout her life people had remarked upon her small size, slight build and smooth pale face. One officer had even objected to her appointment as a medical assistant because he could not believe that Barry was old enough to have graduated in medicine. But no one had ever seriously suggested that Barry was anything other than a man. By all accounts Barry was a pleasant and good-humored person with high cheekbones, reddish hair, a long nose and large eyes. She was well-liked by her patients and had a reputation for great speed in surgery - an important quality at a time when operations were performed without an aesthetic. She was also quick tempered. When she was working in army hospitals and prisons overseas, the terrible conditions often made her very angry. She fought hard against injustice and cruelty and her temper sometimes got her into trouble with the authority. After a long career overseas, she returned to London where she died in 1865. While the undertaker’s assistant was preparing her body for burial, she discovered that James Barry was a woman. So why did James Barry deceive people for so long? At that time a woman could not study medicine, work as a doctor or join the army. Perhaps Barry had always wanted to do these things and pretending to be a man was the only way to make it possible. Perhaps she was going to tell the truth one day, but didn’t because she was enjoying her life as a man too much. Whatever the reason, Barry's deception was successful. By the time it was discovered that she had been the first woman in Britain to qualify as a doctor, it was too late for the authorities to do anything about it. Question 1: What is the main idea of the passage? A. James Barry pretended to be a man to become a doctor B. Gender discrimination among doctors in London C. James Barry and her career overseas D.

The Great Wall of China is one of the most famous landmarks in the world. It was built over 2,000 years ago and stretches for about 13,000 miles across northern China. The wall was constructed to protect the Chinese Empire from invasions by enemy forces, and it has great historical and cultural significance.
However, the Great Wall is now facing various threats that could damage or destroy this important heritage site. One major problem is erosion. Over the centuries, wind, rain, and snow have caused significant damage to the wall, especially in certain sections. In addition, human activities such as tourism and construction projects have also contributed to the deterioration of the wall. To address these issues, several preservation efforts are being undertaken. First, experts are working on developing new techniques to prevent further erosion of the wall. For example, they are experimenting with different types of coatings and materials to protect the wall's surface from weathering. Additionally, there are ongoing efforts to restore damaged sections of the wall using traditional methods and materials. Another challenge is managing the increasing number of visitors to the Great Wall. Tourism is an important source of revenue for the local communities, but it can also cause damage to the fragile structure of the wall. To mitigate these effects, authorities have implemented measures such as limiting the number of visitors allowed in certain areas and building elevated walkways to reduce foot traffic on the wall itself. They are also promoting sustainable tourism practices and raising awareness about the importance of preserving the wall among tourists. Lastly, education plays a crucial role in preserving the Great Wall. Local communities, schools, and organizations are working together to educate people about the history and significance of the wall. By fostering a sense of pride and ownership among the public, it is hoped that more people will be motivated to protect this iconic symbol of Chinese culture and history. Preserving the Great Wall of China is a challenging task that requires the cooperation and support of various stakeholders. With continued efforts, it is possible to safeguard this important heritage site for future generations to appreciate and admire.
