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.

In Africa, people celebrate with joy the birth of a new baby. The Pygmies would sing a birth-song to the child. In Kenya, the mother takes the baby strapped to her back into the thorn enclosure where the cattle are kept. There, her husband and the village elders wait to give the child his or her name.

In West Africa, after the baby is eight days old, the mother takes the baby for its first walk in the big, wide world, and friends and family are invited to meet the new baby. In various African nations, they hold initiation ceremonies for groups of children instead of birthdays. When children reach a certain designated age, they learn the laws, beliefs, customs, songs and dances of their tribes. Some African tribes consider that children from nine to twelve are ready to be initiated into the grown up world. They may have to carry out several tests.

Maasai boys around thirteen years old to seventeen undergo a two-stage initiation. The first stage lasts about three months. The boys leave their parents' homes, paint their bodies white, and are taught how to become young warriors. At the end of this stage, they have their heads shaved and they are also circumcised. At the second stage, the young warriors grow their hair long and live in a camp called a “manyatta” where they practice hunting the wild animals that might attack the Maasai herds. This stage may last a few years. When they are ready, they will marry and become owners of large cattle herds like their fathers. The girls are initiated when they are fourteen or fifteen. They are taught by the older women about the duties of marriage and how to care for babies. Soon after that they are married and lead a life similar to that of their mothers.

Dịch bài đọc:

Ở châu Phi, mọi người ăn mừng với sự vui mừng khi sinh em bé mới. Người Pygmies sẽ hát một bài hát sinh nhật cho đứa trẻ. Ở Kenya, người mẹ đưa em bé bị buộc trên lưng vào chuồng gai nơi nuôi gia súc. Ở đó, chồng cô và những người lớn tuổi trong làng chờ đợi để đặt cho đứa trẻ tên của mình.

Ở Tây Phi, sau khi em bé được tám ngày tuổi, người mẹ đưa em bé đi dạo đầu tiên trong thế giới rộng lớn, và bạn bè và gia đình được mời đến gặp em bé mới. Ở nhiều quốc gia châu Phi khác nhau, họ tổ chức các buổi lễ khởi đầu cho các nhóm trẻ em thay vì sinh nhật. Khi trẻ em đến một độ tuổi nhất định, chúng học luật, tín ngưỡng, phong tục, bài hát và điệu nhảy của bộ lạc. Một số bộ lạc châu Phi cho rằng trẻ em từ chín đến mười hai tuổi đã sẵn sàng để được bắt đầu vào thế giới trưởng thành. Họ có thể phải thực hiện một số thử nghiệm.

Các cậu bé Maasai khoảng mười ba tuổi đến mười bảy tuổi trải qua một sự bắt đầu gồm hai giai đoạn. Giai đoạn đầu tiên kéo dài khoảng ba tháng. Các cậu bé rời khỏi nhà của cha mẹ, sơn trắng cơ thể và được dạy cách trở thành những chiến binh trẻ. Vào cuối giai đoạn này, họ đã cạo đầu và họ cũng được cắt bao quy đầu. Ở giai đoạn thứ hai, các chiến binh trẻ mọc tóc dài và sống trong một trại có tên là rất nhiều người, nơi họ thực hành săn bắn những động vật hoang dã có thể tấn công đàn Maasai. Giai đoạn này có thể kéo dài một vài năm. Khi họ sẵn sàng, họ sẽ kết hôn và trở thành chủ sở hữu của những đàn gia súc lớn như cha của họ. Các cô gái được bắt đầu khi họ mười bốn hoặc mười lăm. Chúng được dạy bởi những người phụ nữ lớn tuổi về nhiệm vụ của hôn nhân và cách chăm sóc em bé. Không lâu sau đó, họ kết hôn và có một cuộc sống tương tự như mẹ của họ.
