V. Read the following passage and then choose the best answer. 
 It has been thought that women are the second class in citizen, and men are the first. There is not a real equality of 
opportunity for men and women. Years ago, people were living in a man-dominated society. Women had to obey their husbands and 
fathers absolutely. Women’s place was in the kitchen and women’s work was housework. In many places, women were not allowed 
to go to school. Women had no rights, even the right to choose husband for themselves. Men usually occupied high positions in

society so they thought they were more intelligent than women. Men often considered women as their property. Sometimes, they 
were mistreated by their husband and suffered the problem as a fate. Many parents did not even want to have daughters. 
 Despite the progress, there remain outdated beliefs about women’s roles, traditionally passed down from generation to 
generation. Men are commonly seen as the strong bodies, bread-winners in the family and key leaders in society, while women are 
restricted to being housewives and child bearing and care, and housework such as washing and cooking. 
 According to social survey, many women in the 21st century still have to work over 12 hours a day including working in 
offices and doing countless household chores without any help from their husbands. In some regions, the labor of women is not 
recognized despite the hardships they endure to support the whole family. Moreover, women are the direct victims of family violence, 
especially in rural areas. 
 Thanks to the women’s liberation movement, nowadays women have proved that they are equal to men in every aspect. An 
average woman had weaker muscles than an average man but she may be as intelligent as he is. Women can do everything that 
men can, and women can do one thing that no man can: they produce children.

A. Working in authority B. Doing housework C. Doing cooking D. Bearing and rearing children

What is the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) and what is its purpose? The Association of Southeast Asian 
Nations (ASEAN) is a multilateral organization which was (36)  to give Southeast Asian states a forum to communicate (37)  each 
other. Since the region had a long colonial past and a history of endemic warfare, there has never been much peaceful and 
constructive interaction between kings, presidents and other officials. A neutral forum was, (38) , a very useful development for all

1997 and the final member of the ten, Cambodia, joined in 1999. The only (40)  state in Southeast Asia which is not a member of 
ASEAN is now East Timor. It is still too vulnerable and fragile to be able to participate for the foreseeable future.
