Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate
the correct answer to each of the questions.
Ong Pagoda, conveniently located at Ninh Kieu Wharf, offers visitors a serene and immersive
experience. While exploring this sacred site, take a leisurely stroll along the river to soak in the
picturesque scenery, and don't miss the charming walking route leading to Can Tho Mini Beach,
adorned with a small accumulation of sand brought in by the river.
Upon entering Ong Pagoda, prepare to be enveloped in an aromatic cloud of incense. The
temple continuously burns numerous incense rings, releasing their fragrant smoke for hours on

discomfort, I recommend visiting either early in the morning or late in the afternoon, as the
temperature inside tends to be more tolerable during these times.

on top of work and balancing time effectively, especially if you’re managing multiple projects and
deliverables. But for some, scheduling the entire day can feel restrictive.
According to Chris Bailey, the author of Hyperfocus: How to Be More Productive in a
World of Distraction, managing your focus is actually a lot more important than managing your
time. “You can show up to meetings when you’re supposed to, and are fully capable of keeping
your calendar on track. Most of us are good at managing our time,” he writes. “What we’re not
good at is managing our attention.”
Even the most well-scheduled day can be thrown off completely if we’re distracted, and
it’s not easy to regain focus on the spot. In order to improve “attention management,” executive
