THE STORY OF CHINESE ZODIAC SIGNS
The story behind the Chinese Zodiac begins with the Jade Emperor who lives in the heavens From there, he couldn’t see all that happened on the Earth Having become curious about animals, he consulted with his advisers to see which creatures should be welcome for a visit
The first invitation was to the Rat who was asked to invite the Cat too Rat conveniently
“forgot” that invitation Other animals that received the King’s request were the Ox, Tiger, Rabbit, Dragon, Snake, Horse, Goat, Monkey, Rooster, Dog and Pig
All the animals were told that one of the 12 signs would be awarded a place in the celestial progression based on the order in which they arrived
The Cat finally heard of the race and traveled with the Rat When they reached a river, the gentle and generous Ox offered to get them across Again the Rat took an opportunity and pushed the Cat into the water, then jumped off the Ox to the shore, becoming the first zodiac sign The Ox was right behind them followed shortly by the Tiger The Rabbit managed the river’s flow by jumping on rocks The Dragon had no need but was a bit slower in his arrival when he saw people in need of rain The Horse and Snake came afterwards, the Horse was frightened at first by the Snake’s appearance
The Goat, Monkey and Rooster were the most cooperative of this crew They worked together to reach their goal and all were rewarded The Dog came in the 11th, having been distracted by a play in the water and then finally Pig arrived having stopped for a nap along the way The Cat finally arrived the 13th, but it was too late It is said that cats chase mice until today because of the jealous actions of that first Rat

III Read the passage about the use of astrology in choosing marriage partner in Viet Nam, and then answer the questions
Use of Astrology in Choosing Marriage Partners in Viet Nam According to astrological beliefs in Viet Nam, the five major planets with a significant influence on human lives and the items that represent them on Earth are: Venus, metal; Jupiter, wood; Mars, fire; Mercury, water; and Saturn, soil Each of these elements can build up or destroy one another according to this theory That is to say: Fire helps soil but destroys metal while soil helps metal Wood destroys soil while water helps wood Water destroys fire while metal helps water Metal destroys wood while wood helps fire
Since individuals at birth come under the influence of at least one of the above planets,
it is imperative to make sure that two which oppose each other are not united A man born under Venus marrying a girl of Mars would find arguments, unhappiness, etc., whereas the same man marrying
a girl under Mercury’s influence would be happy Similarly, if the man is of fire influence and the wife of water, countless arguments, poverty and perhaps divorce is their predetermined fate; but if man is under influence of fire and the girl of wood, they will have many children and prosperity
However, astrology is only one of the three major factors which must be thought in considering marriage Strange to the western culture, the thought of romance is not a major factor, if considered at all
1 What are the five major planets with a significant influence on human lives?
_
2 What is the theory of interaction between the basic elements?
