More than 275,000 tests have been performed. Hanoi, as of May is the most- affected city with 114 confirmed cases. Vietnam has suspended the (27) ___ of all foreigners from 22 March 2020 until further notice to limit the spread of COVID-19. The measure will not apply to diplomats, officials, foreign investors, experts, and skilled workers. For foreigners (28) ___ entered the country before 1 March including those with temporary residence permits will also be entitled to extensions till 30 June but must present health declarations. Vietnam is cited by global media as having (29) ___of the best-organised epidemic control programs in the world, along with Taiwan and South Korea.

Learning does not just mean studying from a textbook and copying it down come test time — it refers to drawing meaning from your work and seeing how it’s important and connected to a broader concept or idea. Though for many students “learning” may consist of memorizing formulas, dates, and facts, they often miss the bigger picture. If you spend all of your efforts on memorizing and none of your efforts on understanding what you are actually doing, by the time the next test rolls around, the information stored in your short term memory may be completely forgotten. As an example, take two students, Julie and Brian. Both students are in high school, getting ready for an upcoming mathematics test. Julie memorizes the way that you solve each problem, all of the formulas, and knows exactly what steps she needs to do to solve any of the example questions. Brian also memorizes the formulas but concentrates on the why — and understands why the examples are done the way that they are, comprehending the methods and connecting any relevant prior knowledge to each question at hand. Both might ace the test, but come exam time, Julie will have to memorize the concepts all over again — and one slight twist in the question may throw her off. Brian, however, understanding the concepts behind his steps, will be much better off come any challenging question, and practicing questions will come more naturally to him. That being said, not all students must be categorized into being a Julie or a Brian — instead, they may fit in between the two. The important take-away is understanding how important asking “why?” really is. In the midst of stress or a heavy workload, this question is often forgotten — yet it is the key to lifelong learning. Practicing the art of asking “why” not only enriches one’s curiosity, but it feeds your desire to learn beyond the textbook.

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 36 to 42. The United Nations recently outlined the extent of the global water crisis, saying that 2.7 billion people would face severe water shortages by 2025 if consumption continues at current rates. Today, an estimated 1.2 billion people drink unclean water, and about 2.5 billion lack proper toilets or waste disposal systems. More than five million people die each year from diseases related to unclean water. Humans are pumping water out of the ground faster than it can be replenished. In this difficult situation, a water conservationist, Neil MacLeod in South Africa, has found innovative ways to improve his local water situation. Neil MacLeod took over as head of Durban Metro Water Services in 1992. The situation he found was a catastrophe. Durban had one million people living in the city and another 1.5 million people who lived in poverty just outside it. The entire city was rife with broken water pipes, leaky toilets, and faulty plumbing whereby 42 percent of the region's water was simply being wasted. MacLeod's crews began repairing and replacing water pipes. They put water meters on residences, replaced eight-litter toilets with four-litter models, and changed wasteful showers and water taps. To ensure that the poor would receive a basic supply of water, MacLeod installed tanks in homes and apartments to provide 190 liters of water a day free to each household. Water consumption in Durban is now less than it was in 1996, even as 800,000 more people have received service. Through sensible water use, Durban's conservation measures paid for themselves within a year. No new reservoirs will be needed in the coming decades, despite the expected addition of about 300,000 inhabitants. MacLeod has also turned to water recycling. At the water recycling plant, wastewater is turned into clean water in just 12 hours. Most people are unable to discern a difference between the usual city drinking water and the treated wastewater, although it is actually intended for industrial purposes. Some people still hope that new technology, such as the desalination of seawater, will solve the world's water problems. "But the fact is, water conservation is where the big gains are to be made," says Sandra Postel of the Global Water Policy Project. The dedication and resourcefulness of people like Neil MacLeod offer inspiration for implementing timely and lasting solutions to the world's water concern.
