This text is for question number 1-5!

King Hung Vuong VI had a beautiful daughter. He did not want her to marry just any prince. So, he made an announcement that he was looking for the right husband for her. Many princes came from faraway lands, but none of them was a good match for the princess.

Son Tinh was the Spirit of the Mountain, and Thuy Tinh was the Spirit of the Waters. One day, they both appeared as young noblemen and asked to marry the princess. They were equally talented, powerful, and respected. The King found it hard to choose, so he decided to give them a test. He said that the one who brought the proper wedding gifts first the next morning would marry his daughter.

The next day, Son Tinh arrived early with his gifts. The King kept his promise and gave the princess to him. Thuy Tinh was angry about losing. He challenged Son Tinh to fight for the princess. But Son Tinh refused, believing he had already won fairly. Furious, Thuy Tinh used his power to call the rivers and streams to rise. Soon, the land was covered with floods that destroyed crops and homes.

Son Tinh stayed calm in his mountain palace. Whenever the water rose, he made his mountains higher. After many days of fighting, Thuy Tinh grew tired and ordered the waters to retreat. Still, he never accepted his defeat. Every year, he tried again to attack, and this is how monsoons came to Vietnam.

Malin’s Big City Life: A Modern Tale

Malin had always dreamed of leaving his small coastal village. After graduating from high school, he moved to Jakarta with hopes of building a better life. He worked part-time jobs during the day and studied digital marketing at night. It wasn’t easy, but he slowly gained skills, built a client list, and eventually launched a successful online clothing brand.

Within four years, Malin’s name became known among young entrepreneurs. He started attending influencer events, sharing productivity tips, and talking about “humble beginnings”—though he rarely mentioned where he came from. At some point, he stopped returning his mother’s calls. He thought she wouldn’t understand his lifestyle now: brand deals, curated social media posts, and talk shows.

One day, Malin was invited to speak at a business seminar, streamed live across Indonesia. In the audience was a quiet woman in a simple kebaya—his mother, who had taken the long trip to Jakarta without telling him. She waited outside the venue, holding a basket of banana chips she used to make for him when he was little.

When she finally approached him near the stage, Malin stepped back. Cameras were everywhere, and the last thing he wanted was to be seen with someone who didn’t match the image he had built. He gave her a quick nod and turned away, pretending not to recognize her.

Later that night, a short video went viral: a young CEO ignoring an old woman who claimed to be his mother. Comments exploded with criticism, and people began to question the authenticity of his “humble” background. Sponsorships were paused. Interview requests stopped coming. Alone in his apartment, Malin stared at the screen—his face frozen in the moment he turned away.

11. What is the main message of the story?

A. Staying true to your goals is more important than pleasing others
B. Sometimes, ambition can push you to make difficult personal choices
C. Building your image is part of surviving in a competitive world
D. Success means little if it leads you to ignore those who supported you
E. Being proud of your background can be hard when your life changes

A Whole New Jupiter: First Science Results from NASA’s Juno Mission

Juno was launched on August 5, 2011, and entered Jupiter’s orbit on July 4, 2016. The findings from the first data-collection pass—which flew within about 2,600 miles (4,200 kilometers) of Jupiter’s swirling cloud tops on August 27—are being published this week in two papers in the journal Science, as well as 44 papers in Geophysical Research Letters.

“We knew going in that Jupiter would throw us some curves,” said Scott Bolton, Juno’s principal investigator from the Southwest Research Institute in San Antonio. “But now that we are here, we are finding that Jupiter can throw the heat, as well as knuckleballs and sliders. There is so much going on here that we didn’t expect, that we have had to take a step back and begin to rethink this as a whole new Jupiter.”

Among the findings that challenge previous assumptions are those provided by Juno’s imager, JunoCam. The images show that both of Jupiter’s poles are covered in Earth-sized swirling storms that are densely clustered and rubbing together.

“We’re puzzled as to how they could be formed, how stable the configuration is, and why Jupiter’s north pole doesn’t look like the south pole,” said Bolton. “We’re questioning whether this is a dynamic system—are we seeing just one stage, and over the next year we’re going to watch it disappear—or is this a stable configuration where these storms are circulating around one another?”

Another surprise comes from Juno’s Microwave Radiometer (MWR), which samples the thermal microwave radiation from Jupiter’s atmosphere—from the top of the ammonia clouds to deep within the planet. The MWR data indicates that Jupiter’s iconic belts and zones are mysterious: the belt near the equator penetrates all the way down, while the belts and zones at other latitudes seem to evolve into different structures. The data also suggests that ammonia is quite variable and continues to increase as far down as the MWR can detect—several hundred miles or kilometers beneath the surface.

Prior to the Juno mission, it was known that Jupiter had the most intense magnetic field in the solar system. Measurements from Juno’s Magnetometer Investigation (MAG) indicate that Jupiter’s magnetic field is even stronger than expected and more irregular in shape. MAG data shows the magnetic field greatly exceeded predictions at 7.766 gauss—about ten times stronger than the strongest magnetic field found on Earth.

“Juno is giving us a view of the magnetic field close to Jupiter that we’ve never had before,” said Jack Connerney, Juno’s deputy principal investigator and the lead for the mission’s magnetic field investigation at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland. “Already, we see that the magnetic field looks lumpy—it is stronger in some places and weaker in others. This uneven distribution suggests that the field might be generated by dynamo action closer to the surface, above the layer of metallic hydrogen. Every flyby we execute gets us closer to determining where and how Jupiter’s dynamo works.”

Juno is also designed to study the polar magnetosphere and the origin of Jupiter’s powerful auroras—its northern and southern lights. These auroral emissions are caused by particles that gain energy and slam into atmospheric molecules. Juno’s initial observations indicate that this process works differently at Jupiter than it does on Earth.
