VI. Read the passage and choose the correct answers.
Cultivating rice is the main occupation of many ethnic minorities in the mountainous region of Northern Vietnam. As the hilly environment is not suitable for paddy fields, local people use terrace farming, a special method which transforms hillside to steps and steps of flat surfaces. Terrace fields look like a giant set of stairs. Combined with a thin veil of morning fog, these paddy fields create a breathtakingly beautiful landscape. Mu Cang Chai, a district of Yen Bai Province, is famous for its terrace fields. Hmong people who live here have been using terrace farming for decades and created a huge area of terrace fields. This has captured the
attention of many photographers and tourists, making Mu Cang Chai a popular tourist attraction.
