Young children are increasingly using tablets as well as smartphones and other
devices with touch screens in early education settings and with family members.
Tammy and Rose, age 4, have been studying sunflowers with their classmates.
They want to sing and record a song about sunflowers while creating a drawing,
using a(n) (21) ___________ on the tablet. The girls have coordinated their efforts
and are happy with the result.

To help the class learn more about sunflowers, Kathryn, Tammy and Rose's
teacher, used the tablet to find online (22) ___________with photos and facts. She
then took the children on a virtual tour of Van Gogh's sunflower paintings. They
read and discussed an electronic picture book about Van Gogh's life. The children
had already examined real sunflowers and their parts, made sketches, read
informational texts and stories, counted seeds, and (23) ___________part in a
variety of investigations, touching on every learning domain. The teacher's use of
the tablet together with early practical learning activities expanded the children's

VII. Read the passage, and choose the correct answer A, B, C or D for each
question.
As most potential ecotourist sites are inhabited by ethnic minorities, the principle
of “encouraging community participation in ecotourism activities” should both
create income and help maintain cultural identity. These communities have a deep
understanding of traditional festivals, cultivation and land use customs, traditional
lifestyle and handicrafts, and historical places. A trip to the limestone mountain of
Cao Bang - Bac Kan, for example, is valuable not only for the Ba Be Lake, but for
the opportunity to learn about cultivation customs, dying practices using endemic
plants to produce brocading, and traditional handmade boats of precious timber
collected in the forest.
Because ecotourism is important for environmental education, maintenance of
indigenous culture, and local economic development, both investment and
government encouragement are required.
One research shows that 90 percent of ecotourist guides lack environmental
knowledge about the flora, fauna, and natural resources in the area, and 88 percent
would benefit from ecotourism guidebooks written especially for them. An
illustration of wasted potential caused by this lack of training is Ha Long Bay, a
world heritage site with immense environmental value - coral reefs, limestone
mountains, thousands of flora and fauna species of high biodiversity, and rich
cultural identity. But tourists in Ha Long Bay are presently visiting only the Bay
and some caves, not accessing environmental information or local cultural
activities. In general, the full potential of ecotourism has not yet been reached.
International visitors to Viet Nam often like to visit ethnic minority villages to
observe the culture, meet local people, and participate in traditional activities. The
ethnic minorities who live in or near nature reserves maintain distinctive lifestyles,
cultural identities, and traditional customs. These features are part of the real value
of ecotourism. However, local people are not much involved in ecotourism.
In additional, local people still live in poverty, their life closely associates with
natural resources. The economic benefits of ecotourism need to be shared with
them, but this will not happen without community participation.
26. The word “distinctive” in paragraph 4 is closest in meaning to __________.
A. close to nature B. easily understood
C. clearly different from others D. staying the same for a long time

A. change their distinctive lifestyles
B. share the economic benefits of ecotourism

______________.
A. can understand the aspects of cultures and traditions
B. can make a trip to the limestone mountain of Cao Bang - Bac Kan
C. can learn dying practices using endemic plants to produce brocading
D. can make traditional boats of precious timber collected in the forest
29. Ecotourism can bring all the following benefits EXCEPT ______________.
A. establishing more national parks and nature reserves
B. introducing cultures of ethnic minorities to foreign tourists
C. maintaining cultural identity
D. providing opportunities to learn about traditional customs

A. get ecotourism guidebooks written especially for them
B. make ethnic minorities have a deep understanding of their traditional festivals
C. make tourists access all environmental information or local cultural activities
