VII. READINGCOMPREHENSION
Read the following passage and answer the questions.
 Vietnam is a country in the Eastern Hemisphere that was influenced by China for many years. Therefore, the Chinese New Year and Tet, the Vietnamese New Year have many similarities. Tet is the abbreviation of Tet Nguyen Dan which means the first morning of the first day of the new period. Tet marks the beginning of a new year on the lunar calendar, and the beginning of Spring. Vietnamese are constantly aware of the phases of the moon. All events are planned by the lunar calendar. The New Year begins on the first night ofthe first moon after the sun enters Aquarius. This is sometime between January 21st and February 19th On the solar calendar.
 On the 23rd day of thfEi twelfth month by the lunar calendar, there is a rite to see Tao Quan (Kitchen God) off. The rite to say goodbye to the old year is held on the 30th or 29th day (ifthat month has only 29 days) ofthe twelfth month by lunar calendar. VThe rite to welcome the New Year is held at midnight that day. The rite to see o ff ancestral souls to return to the other world is often held on the 3rd day ofthe first month by lunar calendar when the Tet holidays finish and everybody goes back to work. Tet is a huge 
celebration lasting three days. Families save money, store food, and plan far in advance for Tet, a major holiday in Vietnam. The Vietnamese take extreme care to start the New Year out right. They buy new clothes, paint and clean theứ homes, cooXc three days worth offood, pay offall debts and make amends to rid themselves all bad feelings. Cleaning is frowned on during Tet because one would not want to sweep out any good luck. Digging and drawing water is also not allowed, so the ground and water can
enjoy the holiday.
