Read the following passage and choose the correct answer to each of the questions.
Academic pressure is one of the biggest sources of teen stress worldwide, but its causes are different across cultures. According to a global education report, over 65% of secondary school students say that they often feel stressed about their school performance.
In many Asian countries, such as South Korea, Japan, and Viet Nam, good grades bring pride to the family. A survey showed that nearly 75% of Korean high school students attend evening study classes, and they often spend up to 12 hours a day on schoolwork. For these students, the main triggers of stress are high parental expectations and tough entrance exams. In Viet Nam, over 60% of teens in a survey said that the fear of low marks on midterm tests caused them sleepless nights.
In contrast, students in Western countries experience academic pressure in a different way. In the United States, about 45% of teenagers feel highly stressed because they have to manage both homework and extra activities like sports or school clubs. Meanwhile, in Finland, students only spend 4 to 5 hours a day at school and have very little homework. Therefore, the stress rate drops to around 28%. Finnish teens say that their main worry is about future career choices, not test scores.
In short, teenagers face school stress for different reasons. In Asia, it mainly comes from exams and family expectations, while in the West, it is more about busy schedules and future careers.

Read the following passage and choose the best answer for each blank.
In a typical Vietnamese village, agriculture is the heart of daily life. Rice paddies as far as the eye can see, and the cycle of planting and harvesting sets the pace for the community. Farmers in these villages often use traditional methods, like water buffaloes, the fields. The planting season, known "Xuan," is a time of hope and hard work. Families come together to plant rice seedlings in the flooded fields, and the landscape turns bright green. As the rice grows, villagers continue to take care of fruit and vegetable gardens. Mangoes, lychees, and dragon fruit trees grow throughout the countryside. They provide fresh and juicy harvests every year.
Traditional customs are an important part of Vietnamese village life. Villagers often hold special festivals at the start and end of farming season to thank the gods for a good harvest. Today, life in these villages has some changes. Many farmers now use modern machines like combine harvesters to work faster and more easily.
