Read the passage and choose the correct answer to the following questions.

In the old quarter of Hội An, a city in central Vietnam, wooden shophouses that are over 200 years old still line the narrow streets. Tourists photograph them daily. Yet behind the beautiful façades, many local families face a difficult question: how do you preserve the past when the present keeps moving forward?

Heritage preservation is rarely as simple as it looks. On one side, conservationists argue that historic buildings, traditional crafts, and cultural practices are irreplaceable. Once they are lost, they cannot be recovered. The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization — better known as UNESCO — has recognised over 1,100 sites around the world as having "outstanding universal value," a status that is designed to protect them for future generations. For communities near these sites, the recognition often brings increased tourism and economic benefits.

Yet preservation comes at a cost that is not always discussed openly. Local residents who live inside protected heritage zones are frequently restricted from making changes to their own homes, even when repairs are urgently needed. In some cases, entire communities have been relocated to make way for restoration projects that serve visitors more than the people who actually belong there. Critics argue that when heritage is managed primarily for tourism, it risks becoming a performance of culture rather than a living expression of it.

The conflict between preservation and development is a challenge shared by nations across the world. From the medinas of Morocco to the temples of Cambodia, communities everywhere are wrestling with the same uncomfortable truth: that preserving the past sometimes means making sacrifices in the present.

What remains worth asking is — whose heritage is actually being preserved, and for whom?

According to paragraph 1, what is the primary concern for local families in Hội An?
  • The increasing number of tourists photographing their homes
  • The conflict between maintaining tradition and modern progress
  • The rising cost of maintaining wooden shophouses over time
  • The lack of narrow streets in the city’s older residential quarters

  • heritage

  • culture
  • a performance
The word "irreplaceable" in paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to _______.
  • temporary
  • priceless
  • common
  • trending
According to paragraph 3, residents in heritage zones often struggle because _______.
  • they are not allowed to charge any visitors in their homes
  • tourism in their areas has not developed since UNESCO recognition
  • there are no longer any traditional crafts for them to practice
  • they are restricted from repairing or modifying their property
According to the passage, which of the following is NOT mentioned as a benefit of UNESCO recognition?
  • Increased tourism to the area
  • Economic benefits for communities
  • Affordable housing for all residents
  • Protection for future generations
The word "uncomfortable" in paragraph 4 is OPPOSITE in meaning to _______.
  • shocking
  • obvious
  • universal
  • pleasant

  • protecting history often requires people to give up certain comforts in current times
  • protecting the past and giving up comforts in the present are two goals that can never be achieved together
