20 | The yêm is an ancient common upper-body garment for Vietnamese girls and women for thousands of years until after World War II, when Western dressing style entered and became popular. A yêm was a sexy simply-cut piece of usually simple cloth, which could be either outerwear or undershirt. As Vietnam has a tropical climate with hot and humid summers, the lighter and airier the clothes are the better. The yêm was the solution in the old days for Vietnamese people to the environment. Colours and materials of the yêm reflected the woman’s age and social status. Older women tended to wear round-necked, and younger ones the v-neck style. The working-class women wore dark colours such as black, beige, or brown, and coarse cloth, while the elite opted for more festive, brighter tones such as red and pink or white, normally in dedicate cloth such as silk or satin. Throughout history, the design of the yêm stayed almost the same. However, there was much room for flexibility. When a woman was young, she tied the strings loosely to let the neck come lower, especially when she wore necklaces. When she got older, she pulled the strings tighter to raise the neck higher. This is a good example of the Vietnamese dressing style – simplicity but with a height of delicacy and sexiness. The yêm dates to the Hung Kings (2879 BC - 258 AD). Evidence can be found in the images of women in decoration on a Dong Xa bronze drum, cast over 2,000 years ago. It made its way down to around 1945 as a traditional costume exclusively of Vietnamese women. Photos of Vietnamese women in the 1940s still showed some of them wearing the yêm. From the mid-20th century, along with the decline of the yêm to give way for Western dressing trends, many traditions disappeared, such as tying the hair around the head, or having the teeth dyed. Recently, the yêm is making a comeback, but only on the catwalk. |
What is the passage mainly about?
The simple but attractive style of the yêm
The ups and downs in the history of the yêm
The roles of the yêm in Vietnamese culture
The historical and fashion values of the yêm

20 | The yêm is an ancient common upper-body garment for Vietnamese girls and women for thousands of years until after World War II, when Western dressing style entered and became popular. A yêm was a sexy simply-cut piece of usually simple cloth, which could be either outerwear or undershirt. As Vietnam has a tropical climate with hot and humid summers, the lighter and airier the clothes are the better. The yêm was the solution in the old days for Vietnamese people to the environment. Colours and materials of the yêm reflected the woman’s age and social status. Older women tended to wear round-necked, and younger ones the v-neck style. The working-class women wore dark colours such as black, beige, or brown, and coarse cloth, while the elite opted for more festive, brighter tones such as red and pink or white, normally in dedicate cloth such as silk or satin. Throughout history, the design of the yêm stayed almost the same. However, there was much room for flexibility. When a woman was young, she tied the strings loosely to let the neck come lower, especially when she wore necklaces. When she got older, she pulled the strings tighter to raise the neck higher. This is a good example of the Vietnamese dressing style – simplicity but with a height of delicacy and sexiness. The yêm dates to the Hung Kings (2879 BC - 258 AD). Evidence can be found in the images of women in decoration on a Dong Xa bronze drum, cast over 2,000 years ago. It made its way down to around 1945 as a traditional costume exclusively of Vietnamese women. Photos of Vietnamese women in the 1940s still showed some of them wearing the yêm. From the mid-20th century, along with the decline of the yêm to give way for Western dressing trends, many traditions disappeared, such as tying the hair around the head, or having the teeth dyed. Recently, the yêm is making a comeback, but only on the catwalk. |

25 | In the early 1800’s, over 80 percent of the United States labor force was engaged in agriculture. Sophisticated technology and machinery were virtually nonexistent. People who lived in the cities and were not directly involved in trade often participated in small cottage industries making handcrafted goods. Others cured meats, silversmiths, candle or otherwise produced needed goods and commodities. Blacksmiths, silversmiths, candle makers, and other artisans worked in their homes or barns, relying on help of family. [A] Perhaps no single phenomenon brought more widespread and lasting change to the United States society than the rise of industrialization. Industrial growth hinged on several economic factors. First, industry requires an abundance of natural resources, especially coal, iron ore, water, petroleum, and timber-all readily available on the North American continent. Second, factories demand a large labor supply. Between the 1870’s and the First World War (1914-1918), approximately 23 million immigrants streamed to the United States, settled in cities, and went to work in factories and mines. They also helped build the vast network of canals and railroads that crisscrossed the continent and linked important trade centers essential to industrial growth. [B] Factories also offered a reprieve from the backbreaking work and financial unpredictability associated with farming. Many adults, poor and disillusioned with farm life, were lured to the cities by promises of steady employment, regular paychecks, increased access to goods and services, and expanded social opportunities. Others were pushed there when new technologies made their labor cheap or expendable; inventions such as steel plows and mechanized harvesters allowed one farmhand to perform work that previously had required several, thus making farming capital-intensive rather than labor-intensive. [C] Whereas cottage industries relied on a few highly skilled craft workers who slowly and carefully converted raw materials into finished products from start to finish, factories relied on specialization. While factory work was less creative and more monotonous, it was also more efficient and allowed mass production of goods at less expense [D] |
What aspect of life in the United States does the passage mainly discuss?
The inventions that transformed life in the nineteenth century
The problems associated with the earliest factories
The difficulty of farm life in the nineteenth century
The transition from an agricultural to an industrial economy

They also helped build the vast network of canals and railroads that crisscrossed the continent and linked important trade centers essential to industrial growth. [B] Factories also offered a reprieve from the backbreaking work and financial unpredictability associated with farming. Many adults, poor and disillusioned with farm life, were lured to the cities by promises of steady employment, regular paychecks, increased access to goods and services, and expanded social opportunities. Others were pushed there when new technologies made their labor cheap or expendable; inventions such as steel plows and mechanized harvesters allowed one farmhand to perform work that previously had required several, thus making farming capital-intensive rather than labor-intensive. [C] Whereas cottage industries relied on a few highly skilled craft workers who slowly and carefully converted raw materials into finished products from start to finish, factories relied on specialization. While factory work was less creative and more monotonous, it was also more efficient and allowed mass production of goods at less expense [D] |
