Dịch bài đọc:
Đầu thế kỷ XX, một phụ nữ người Mỹ tên Emily Post đã viết một cuốn sách về nghi thức xã giao. Cuốn sách này giải thích hành vi đúng đắn mà người Mỹ nên tuân theo trong nhiều tình huống xã hội khác nhau, từ tiệc sinh nhật đến đám tang. Nhưng trong xã hội hiện đại, không chỉ đơn giản là biết các quy tắc phù hợp cho hành vi ở đất nước của bạn. Những người làm việc hoặc đi du lịch nước ngoài cũng cần phải hiểu các quy tắc nghi thức trong các nền văn hóa khác.
Sự khác biệt về văn hóa có thể được tìm thấy trong các quy trình đơn giản như tặng hoặc nhận quà tặng. Trong các nền văn hóa phương Tây, một món quà có thể được trao cho người nhận với nghi lễ tương đối ít. Khi một món quà được cung cấp, người nhận thường nhận món quà và bày tỏ lời cảm ơn của mình. Tuy nhiên, ở một số nước châu Á, hành động tặng quà có thể gây nhầm lẫn cho người phương Tây. Trong văn hóa Trung Quốc, cả người cho và người nhận đều hiểu rằng người nhận thường sẽ từ chối nhận món quà nhiều lần trước khi người đó cuối cùng chấp nhận nó. Ngoài ra, để thể hiện sự tôn trọng đối với người nhận, thông thường ở một số nền văn hóa châu Á sử dụng cả hai tay khi tặng quà cho người khác.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 33 to 37.
Different cultures follow their own special customs when a child’s baby teeth fall out. In Korea, for example, they have the custom of throwing lost teeth up on the roof of a house. According to tradition, a magpie will come and take the tooth. Later, the magpie will return with a new tooth for the child. In other Asian countries, such as Japan and Vietnam, children follow a similar tradition of throwing their lost teeth onto the roofs of houses.
Birds aren't the only animals thought to take lost teeth. In Mexico and Spain, tradition says a mouse takes a lost tooth and leaves some money. However, in Mongolia, dogs are responsible for taking teeth away. Dogs are highly respected in Mongolian culture and are considered guardian angels of the people.
Tradition says that the new tooth will grow good and strong if the baby tooth is fed to a guardian angel. Accordingly, parents in Mongolia will put their child's lost tooth in a piece of meat and feed it to a dog.
The idea of giving lost teeth to an angel or fairy is also a tradition in the West. Many children in Western countries count on the Tooth Fairy to leave money or presents in exchange for a tooth. The exact origins of the Tooth Fairy are a mystery, although the story probably began in England or Ireland centuries ago. According to tradition, a child puts a lost tooth under his or her pillow before going to bed. In the wee hours, while the child is sleeping, the Tooth Fairy takes the tooth and leaves something else under the pillow. In France, the Tooth Fairy leaves a small gift. In the United States, however, the Tooth Fairy usually leaves money. These days, the rate is $ 1 to $5 per tooth, adding up to a lot of money from the Tooth Fairy!
