Did you know that on average we forget about 80% of the medical information a doctor might give us? This fascinating information came to light as a result of a study carried out by Utrecht University. What is even more interesting is that almost half of what we think we remember is wrong. Why do you think this is? Well, its not as complicated as you may think. You see, going to the doctor fills most people with anxiety and when we are really nervous and stressed we are more likely to focus on the diagnosis rather than the treatment. Therefore, we know what is wrong with as but have no idea what to do about it. Here are some good tips to keep in mind when seeing a doctor. Always write down any important information. What would be even better is, if your doctor agreed, to record your consultation. This way, you can replay the advice at home, where you are more likely to absorb it. If you believe the situation is serious or youre really worried, seek the help of a family member. Just ask them to accompany you to listen in. This way you can be absolutely sure about what the doctor has told you and avoid falling into the same trap that most people do.

Questions 19-24: 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: (1.5 points) When you think about the conical hat, the first thing you think of is the region of Hue. Conical hat making has been a traditional craft there for hundreds of years, and there are many craft villages like Da Le, Phu Cam, and Doc So. However, Tay Ho is the most famous because it is the birthplace of the conical hat in Hue. It is a village on the bank of the Nhu Y River, 12 km from Hue City. A conical hat may look simple, but artisans have to follow 15 stages, from going to the forest to collect leaves to ironing the leaves, making the frames, etc. Hue’s conical hats always have two layers of leaves. Craftsmen must be skilful to make the two layers very thin. What is special is that they then add poems and paintings of Hue between the two layers, creating the famous bai tho or poetic conical hats. Conical hat making in the village has been passed down from generation to generation because everybody, young or old, can take part in the process.
