"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.

 My name is John, and this is my story. Last year just before Christmas my family and our cousins and uncle and aunt decided to go to Perth for holiday. We went in two cars but when we were about halfway there my uncle wanted to turn round and come back. He said it was too far, and it was terribly hot too. One day it was 48°C. Even at night it was really hot. Anyway, what we decided to do was to drive back about 160km to a place where the train went through. Then we put both cars on the train and we all went to Perth by train. That was fun. It was a good train.

 We had a good time in Perth but we had to cut our holiday short. You see, while we were there my grandmother (my mother's mother) in Melbourne died. Most of us flew back but my Dad and my uncle came on the train with the cars and then had to drive back to Melbourne from Port Pirie.

It was a really strange holiday because nothing went the way we planned it.

Who died when John's family were  on holiday?

Read the passage and choose the correct answer to each of the questions. 
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.
