ASSESSMENT AND TREATMENT OF PRAGMATIC DISORDERS From the earliest (36) ________ of pragmatics in speech-language pathology, researchers acknowledged the limitations of formal language tests to assess adequately pragmatic language skills. These tests, which were (37) ______ used in clinics for the assessment of structural language skills such as phonology and syntax, revealed little about an individual’s use of speech acts in everyday communicative contexts or the dynamic processes of (38) ______ interpretation. Only assessments that examined conversation and other forms of (39) _______ (e.g. narrative) could throw light on impaired pragmatic language skills across different contexts. To address this lack of appropriate assessments, researchers began to develop profiles and checklists of verbal and non-verbal pragmatic behaviours. These new (40) _______ tools required clinicians to observe a range of communicative interactions, and to record and (41) _______ extended extracts of language. This (42) _______ data was then used as the basis for establishing which behaviours are present and/or performed appropriately within a client’s pragmatic (43) _______. Two prominent examples of this type of pragmatic language assessment are Prutting and Kirchner’s (1987) Pragmatic Protocol and Bishop’s (2003) Children’s Communication Checklist. These lists vary in the number and range of pragmatic behaviours that they examine, in the types of child and adult clients that they may be used to assess and in their (44) _______ procedures.

To the casual visitor, the province of Nam Dinh flies under the radar. Situated in the Red River Delta, Nam Dinh is known with agricultural areas and beautiful churches. Tran Hung Dao, the 13th-century national hero who helped defeat invading Mongol hordes, came from these parts. But Nam Dinh’s most significant contribution to Vietnam is the beef noodle soup, Phở bò. Legends and myths mean that many histories in Vietnam is coloured a variety of shades. This is also the case with Phở, the country’s most famous dish, and its most successful cuisine export. In the capital city of Hanoi, phở is a staple breakfast dish. The history of Phở begins at the end of the 19th century, at the peak of French colony. French demand led to a greater availability of beef in Vietnam. This at turn produced a surplus of beef bones, which were used by Chinese and Vietnamese vendors to deepen and perfect the flavour of the Nam Dinh broth. Over the years, phở gained traction in Hanoi. It evolved from a noodle soup called xao trau - a simple dish made with slices of water buffalo meat cooked in broth with rice vermicelli -- in a delicate and balanced creature. Buffalo meat was swapped with beef, round rice noodles were added, the flavour of the broth was refined, and the classic Hanoi Phở was perfected. Migratory workers from the Chinese provinces of Yunnan and Guangdong loved the new take, due to its similarity to dishes from back home. The Vietnamese, having developed a taste for beef, grew equally enamoured. By the 1930s, gánh Phở — roaming vendors shouldered mobile kitchens on bamboo poles — had become a common sight in the streets of the Old Quarter. Since then phở has been entwined with the national psyche. In his poem “An Ode to Pho,” poet Tu Mo celebrated the subtle flavour of the soup and its egalitarian: it is a dish loved by both rich and poor. (Source: vietnam.travel) D.

THE Ơ ĐU ETHNIC GROUP
In the distant past the Ơ Đu’s ancestors belonged to a small kingdom called Bon Man, an (56) ______ region covering Xiangkhouang and Houaphan province in Laos and parts of Vietnam’s Nghe An province. In the late 14th century, the O Du (57) _______ some troubled times. They (58) ________ their homes and were chased and hunted to every corner of their territory.

For that reason the O Du culture and lifestyle are (60) ________ by other ethnic groups, particularly the Thai and the Kho Mu. As the O Du moved from place to place, their culture faded. In 2006 with their life finally stable, they had to relocate once again to give up their land for the construction of the Ban Ve hydropower (61) _______. They resettled in a new hamlet called Vang Mon, in Tuong Duong district. A difficult life hasn’t suppressed the strong (62) ________ of the O Du. A population survey in 1935 showed that the O Du had just 34 people. Now there are about 500 people of O Du origin, living in mixed households of O Du, Thai, and Kho Mu people. The O Du live in stilt houses with rattan roofs. “In an O Du house, the altar has a different placement and different items from an altar of the Kho Mu. A Kho Mu altar is placed in the last room of the house, the most (63) ________ and private spot. The O Du hang
their altar above their sleeping area. From the altar, we can identify whether a family is O Du, Kho Mu, or Thai,” said Professor Van. The O Du don’t know much about modern science. One of their oldest customs is to listen to the first thunderbolt to mark a new year. “The O Du don’t celebrate the lunar New Year Festival. They estimate when it’s time to clean their house and (64) ______ the first thunderbolt, which (65) ______ a New Year. Then they perform rituals to thank the Heaven Gods and deities for giving them life and protecting them. They give offerings of their best food and farm products to the gods. The first thunderbolt symbolizes reproduction and fertility,” Professor Van explained.

CUISINE REFLECTS VIETNAM’S HISTORY The known history of Vietnam began around 12,000 BC, when the indigenous people of Vietnam settled in the Hong River Valley. There it was possible to sustain life through hunting and harvesting plants. Six thousand years later we can see evidence of agricultural advances, and the Vietnamese people began wet rice farming. This rice, as well as the herbs, plants, fish and meat readily available on the fertile lands of Vietnam, was the early base of the Vietnamese diet. Though rice has always been one of the nutritional staples for the Vietnamese people, the cuisine would eventually evolve as cooking tools became more sophisticated, and as the influences from other countries became stronger. In the 2nd century BC, the entirety of what was then known as Nam Viet was considered to be a Chinese province. For 1,000 years the Vietnamese people would live under the reign of various Chinese dynasties, and this proximity, though often fraught with political strife, would have a by-product: noodles. Noodles were invented in China sometime around the time of the East Han Dynasty. Originally made with millet or other grains native to China, the recipe soon expanded to include new forms made with wheat, rice and eggs. These noodles and the techniques needed to create them were exported to Vietnam; soon they were being used in different and delicious ways. Here we are, more than 2,000 years in the past, and noodles have come to Vietnam, so this must be when phở was invented, right? Wrong. Surprisingly, phở, the most famous Vietnamese dish in the world, was only created in Northern Vietnam in the early 20th century. By then the Chinese rule in Vietnam had long come to an end and the colonialist French had arrived on scene. From 1887 to 1954, Vietnam was an essential part of French Indochina, and the strong culinary influences of la cuisine Francaise in modern Vietnamese food can still be seen today. The fusion of Vietnamese noodles and herbs with a French beef broth is likely the basis for the original phở. Nomadic vendors, from the village of Van Cu in the Nam Dinh province, could be seen in the early 1900s walking with flexible sticks balanced across their shoulders and two huge barrels of soup attached to either side. They sold the soup to anyone interested in a good meal on the roads outside of Hanoi. Chinese migrant workers loved the soup because it reminded them of food from home. French missionaries and colonial settlers loved it because of the rich, meaty broth. The Vietnamese loved it because of its flexibility in regards to ingredients, and the fact that boiling the broth for so long would also rid it of any bacteria. And today? The various options are plentiful. The flavourful mix of cultures didn’t end with phở. The Vietnamese took the French baguette, filled it with their signature marinated meats, seafood, paté or eggs, added herbs, pickled vegetables and chili and called
it a bánh mì. Bánh xèo, a thin pancake filled with bean sprouts, shrimp, and pork, could have some roots in the French crepe, except instead of using wheat flour, eggs and milk to create the batter, the bánh xèo is made of rice flour, water and turmeric, ingredients far more readily available in Vietnam than the dairy-filled French version. Vietnamese turned into sô cô la and cà phê. Now, rather than the milk chocolates of Europe, the Vietnamese favour chocolate so dark and intense it is almost black. Cà phê is brewed strong and has a hefty dose of condensed milk poured into it to make it rich and sweet. French colonial rule in Indochina was wiped out during World War II but the fusion of the two cuisines still remains inexorably linked. As Vietnamese cuisine began to find a foothold all around the world, rice production hit an all-time low back home. Changes to the structure of farming decreased motivation and led to widespread rice shortages. In addition to the low food production, much of Vietnam’s agricultural land had been damaged during the war. Rice paddies were laden with mines and Agent Orange had seeped into the soil. Nobody, not even those who had previously enjoyed the benefits of being in the upper echelons of society, had enough rice for three meals a day. People were forced to mix their rice with white potatoes, sweet potatoes, and sorghum, a grain known for being particularly difficult to chew. By the 1980s Vietnam was ranked as one of the poorest nations in the world. Now Vietnam has undergone a remarkable transformation and famine has turned to abundance. The country is the fifthlargest exporter of rice in the world. Vietnamese parents are now more apt to overfeed their children rather than underfeed them, because after all the years of malnutrition, a chubby child is now considered to be healthier and more attractive. Newfound prosperity has also changed the food culture in Vietnam, leading to some growing pains. Concerns about ‘dirty’ food, fast food and obesity are on the rise, as Vietnam attempts to find its balance between increased wealth and decreased health. Despite these issues, Vietnam is enjoying a culinary heyday. [A] The ability to reinvent, renew, refresh, while staying true to one’s origins are things all chefs should aspire to, and that Vietnamese tastemakers have been able to accomplish. [B] Walk down any street in Vietnam and you will find restaurants and cafes spilling out onto the sidewalks. From meat grilled on makeshift BBQs in the middle of a busy intersection to high-class restaurants serving only the most refined dishes, the flavours and fundamentals of Vietnamese food delight the palate and surprise the senses. [C] So, what’s next? Perhaps, Vietnamese cuisine will be inspired by the Western farm-to-table movement. Or maybe it will go down the road of mass-marketing and we’ll find our favourite Vietnamese chefs hawking frozen phở dinners on TV. [D] Regardless, one thing remains clear: the Vietnamese people have been able to weather wars and occupations, famine, and feast, all the while adapting and transforming their remarkable culinary heritage. Whatever’s next is sure to be delicious. (Source: citypassguide) Question 66: What can we infer about the prehistory of Vietnam in the paragraph 1? A. People’s life was totally based on natural diet.
