XII. Read the passage and choose the best answers.
With the habit of working in teams and being helpful to one other, villagers usually
earn their living from farming, raising livestock and making handicrafts. They live in
a small community with a temple or a communal cultural house where great events,
such as festivals worshipping the village god and traditional games are organized.
Villagers in the Southern usually live in houses lined up along central road and built
on stilts to keep above flood waters. Along the coastal lines, fishermen depend on the
sea as a means of livelihood. In the Central of Vietnam, a place suffering lots of
natural disasters all the year round, citizens tend to be more studious and hard
working than those in regions with favourable conditions. People in the central
highlands and the northern mountains live by growing rice, rubber trees, coffee and
tea as well as hunting.
