X. Read the passage and answer the questions.
People in most rural areas in Vietnam are farmers or fishermen whose life
mainly depends on agriculture, livestock, and handicrafts, which are
closely associated with natural conditions in places they’re living.
In mountainous villages, locals do the cultivation on terraced fields and
raise cattle. In the central highlands or desert areas in the South, people
mainly make their living in volcanic soiled farms or feed big cattle like
cows, sheep, goats, etc. for industrial production.
The locals in Mekong Delta - which is famous for floating markets - earn
their living by fishing or raising cattle besides growing wet rice and
tropical fruits. Mekong Delta residents also know how to make use of their
homeland’s advantages to create additional handicrafts such as pottery,
bricks and coconut candy.
In the coastline areas, the local life mainly depends on catching seafood
and growing aquaculture. Most adults, especially men in families, will go
far offshore on wooden boats or modern steel ships, for weeks or even
months, to catch fish and other kinds of seafood. Others live on land, grow
aquaculture in their farms or make sea salt.
Nowadays, with a developing flow of industrialization, people in the
countryside have applied more and more modern appliances or
technologies in their works to improve productivity. In some aspects, it
could help their life become better. However, they still cherish the
tradition, keep working hard and preserve their own distinct identity.
