VII. Read the passage below and answer the questions.

Vietnam’s New Year is celebrated according to the Lunar calendar. It is officially known as Tet

Nguyen Dan or Tet. It begins between January the twenty-first and February the nineteen. The exact

date changes from year to year. Vietnamese people usually make preparations for the holiday several

weeks beforehand. They tidy their houses, cook special food, clean and make offerings on the family

altars. On the New Year’s Eve, people sit up to midnight to see New Year in, then they put on new

clothes and give one another the greetings of the season. Tet lasts ten days. The first three days are the

most important. Vietnamese people believe that how people act during those days will influence the

whole year. As a result, they make every effort to avoid arguments and smile as much as possible.
