"Banh Chung" (Chung cake) is one of the most popular and delicious traditional Vietnamese dishes. According to the legend, Chung cake was invented by Prince Lang Lieu - the 18th Prince of Hung Emperor, in the contest of looking for new Emperor. It has become an irreplaceable cake of Vietnamese people at Tet and King Hung's anniversary (10th March of the Lunar calendar).

Chung cake is made from sticky rice, pork, green beans, pepper and onions. It is wrapped in dong leaves (lá dong). The cake will be boiled for about 12 hours over a wood burning stove.

In Vietnam, the process of making Chung cake is the opportunity for family to come together. All members in the family often make Chung cake together and then sit around the warm fire to boil it. Nowadays, in some big cities, the busy life of modern society prevents people from preparing the cake, however, the habit of worship ancestors with Chung cake never changes.

 Vietnamese people don't make Chung cake to worship ancestors any more.

Vehicles in the near future, will be fuel efficient, zero emission, and use high tech electronics and software to assist drivers in a variety of ways. Vehicles will communicate with each other, with the road and with traffic signals. Autos and trucks of the future will use vision enhancement devices to help you navigate through bad weather, let you see around them, or warn you of a possible collision with a pedestrian or animal. They will also let you know if you are getting drowsy or straying from your lane.

In twenty years, cars of the future will be different than the automobiles of today, and so will the driving experience.

Cars and how to drive will only change after two more decades.

Most sore throats are caused by an infection that treatment with antibiotics cannot cure. But with simple remedies, the patient normally gets better in 4 or 5 days.

Tonsillitis, however, usually starts with a sore throat which causes pain in swallowing. With children – and some adults – there may be fewer and the patient is obviously not feeling well. It may be possible to see white spots on the back of the throat.

Sometimes a sore throat may occur with the common cold, and with influenza, there may be dryness of the throat, pain on coughing, and loss of voice.

Treatment:

Aspirin: To help relieve the pain on swallowing and the fever (if there is one). Use aspirin tablets dissolved in water so that the patient can gargle before swallowing. Repeat the treatment every 4 hours.

Drink: Encourage the patient to drink plenty.

Steam: if there is a pain in the throat on coughing, breathing in steam may help.

Children:

Young children, who may not be able to gargle, should be given aspirin dissolved in water every 4 hours in the right dose for their age. At one year: A single junior aspirin

At five years: Half an adult aspirin

At eight years: One whole adult aspirin

When to see the doctor:

If the sore throat is still getting worse after 2 days

If the patient complains of earache

If the patient’s fever increases

If the parent of the patient is worried

The idea of a driverless car is not new. Now there are already cars on the road that can park themselves. But a truly self-driving car, one that can drive itself, is being tested by scientists and engineers. Self-driving cars have already been tested on public roads. These cars not only record images of the road, but their computerized maps view road signs, find alternative routes and see traffic lights even before they are seen by a person. By using radars and cameras, the cars can analyze information about their surroundings faster than a human can.

In some of the tests, the car leans the details of a road by driving on it several times, and when it is time to drive itself, it can identify when there are pedestrians crossing and then stops to let them pass by. Self-driving cars could make transport safer for all of us by eliminating the cause of most of today’s accidents.

In about a decade’s time, we may see………..

Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving is celebrated in the US on the fourth Thursday in November. For many Americans it is the most important holiday apart from Christmas. Schools, offices and most businesses close for Thanksgiving, and many people make the whole weekend a vacation.

Thanksgiving is associated with the time when Europeans first came to North America. In 1620 the ship the Mayflowers arrived, bringing about 150 people who today are usually called Pilgrims. They arrived at the beginning of a very hard winter and could not find enough food to eat, so many of them died. But in the following summer Native Americans showed them what foods were safe to eat, so that they could save food for the next winter. They held a big celebration to thank God and the Native Americans for the fact that they had survived.

Today people celebrate Thanksgiving to remember these early days. The most important part of the celebration is a traditional dinner with foods that come from North America. The meal includes turkey, sweet potatoes (also called yams) and cranberries, which are made into a kind of sauce or jelly. The turkey is filled with stuffing or dressing, and many families have their own special recipe. Dessert is pumpkin made into a pie.

During Thanksgiving, American people _______.

Read the following passage and choose the answer for each question. American Classroom Customs

If the teacher asks a question, you are expected to give an answer. If you do not understand the question, you should raise your hand and ask the teacher to repeat the question. If you do not know the answer, it is all right to tell the teacher that you do not know. Then he or she knows what you need to learn.
There is no excuse for not doing your homework. If you are absent, you should call your teacher or someone who is in your class and ask for the assignment. It is your responsibility to find out what assignments you have missed. It is not the teacher’s responsibility to remind you of missed assignments.
You must not be absent on a test day. If you are seriously ill, call and let the teacher know you will not be there for the test. If your teacher allows make-up tests, you should take the test within one or two days after returning to class. Serious illness is the only reason for missing a test.

When are you allowed to take a make-up test?
