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.

For many American university students, the weeklong spring break holiday means an endless party on a sunny beach in Florida or Mexico. In Panama City Beach, Florida, a city with a permanent population of around 36,000, more than half a million university students arrive during the month of March to play and party, making it the number one spring break destination in the United States.

A weeklong drinking binge is not for anyone, however, and a growing number of American university students have found a way to make spring break matter. For them, joining or leading a group of volunteers to travel locally or internationally and work to alleviate problems such as poverty, homelessness, or environmental damage makes spring break a unique learning experience that university students can feel good about.

During one spring break week, students at James Madison University in Virginia participated in 15 “alternative spring break” trips to nearby states, three others to more distant parts of the United States, and five international trips. One group of JMU students traveled to Bogalusa, Louisiana, to help rebuild homes damaged by Hurricane Katrina. Another group traveled to Mississippi to organize creative activities for children living in a homless shelter. One group of students did go to Florida, but not to lie on the sand. They performed exhausting physical labor such as maintaining hiking trails and destroying invasive plant species that threaten the native Florida ecosystem.

Students who participate in alternative spring break projects find them very rewarding. While most university students have to get their degrees before they can start helping people, student volunteers are able to help people now. On the other hand, the accommodations are far from glamorous. Students often sleep on the floor of a school or spend the week camping in tents. But students only pay around $250 for meals and transportation, which is much less than some of their peers spend to travel to more traditional spring break hotspots.

Alternative spring break trips appear to be growing in popularity at universities across the United States. Students cite a number of reason for participating. Some appreciate the opportunity to socialize and meet new friends. Others want to exercise their beliefs about people’s obligation to serve humanity and make the world a better place whatever their reason, these students have discovered something that gives them rich rewards along with a break from school work.

Which of the following is mentioned as a reason for participating in alternative spring break trips?

A. The hope of earning money

B. A personal opinion that people must help other people

Dẫn chứng ở câu cuối cùng: “Others want to exercise their beliefs about people’s obligation to serve humanity and make the world a better place whatever their reason, these students have discovered something that gives them rich rewards along with a break from school work” – (Một số khác muốn thực hiện niềm tin của bản thân về sứ mệnh của con người là phục vụ nhân loại và làm cho thế giới trở nên tốt đẹp hơn bất kể vì lí do gì, những sinh viên này đã khám phá ra điều mang lại cho họ những bài học quý giá khi không ở trong trường học).

Dịch bài

Đối với nhiều sinh viên Mĩ, tuần nghỉ lễ mùa xuân có nghĩa là một bữa tiệc dài bất tận trên bãi biển đầy nắng ở Florida hoặc Mexico. Thành phố bãi biển Panama ở bang Florida, thành phố có số dân định cư vào khoảng 36,000 người, nhiều hơn 1 nửa triệu số sinh viên đại học tới đây vào tháng 3 mỗi năm để vui chơi và tiệc tùng, trở thành điểm đến số một trong kì nghỉ xuân ở Mĩ.

 Tuy nhiên không phải sinh viên nào cũng nhậu nhẹt trong suốt một tuần lễ, và một số lượng ngày càng đông các sinh viên Mĩ đã tìm ra cách để khiến cho kì nghỉ xuân có ý nghĩa. Đối với họ, việc tham gia hoặc lãnh đạo 1 nhóm tình nguyện viên đi tour trong nước hoặc quốc tế và làm việc với mục đích làm giảm những vấn đề như đói nghèo, vô gia cư, hoặc thiệt hại về môi trường đã làm cho những kì nghỉ xuân trở thành những trải nghiệm học tập độc đáo mà các sinh viên cảm thấy bổ ích.

Trong suốt 1 tuần nghỉ xuân, các sinh viên của trường đại học James Madison ở bang Virginia đã tham gia vào 15 chuyến “kì nghỉ xuân thay thế” tới những bang lân cận, 3 bang khác xa hơn ở Hoa Kì, và 5 chuyến đi quốc tế. Một nhóm sinh viên JMU đi tới Bogalusa, Louisiana để giúp xây lại những ngôi nhà bị hư hại bởi cơn bão Katrina. Một nhóm khác tới Mississippi để tổ chức các hoạt động sáng tạo dành cho trẻ em sống ở khu cư trú dành cho người vô gia cư. Một nhóm sinh viên đã đi tới bang Florida, nhưng không phải để nằm dài xả hơi trên cát. Họ cật lực lao động để tu sửa lại những con đường và dọn nhổ những loài cây đe dọa tới hệ sinh thái bản địa ở Florida

Những sinh viên tham gia vào các dự án ‘kì nghỉ xuân thay thế’ nhận thấy chúng rất bổ ích. Trong khi đó hầu hết sinh viên phải có được tấm bằng đại học trước khi họ bắt tay vào giúp đỡ những người khác thì những sinh viên tình nguyện có thể giúp đỡ công động ngay bây giờ. Mặt khác, chỗ ở thì không hề hấp dẫn. Những sinh viên thường xuyên phải ngủ trên sàn ở trường học hoặc dành cả tuần cắm trại trong lều. Những họ chỉ phải trả khoảng 250 đô la cho các bữa ăn và phương tiện đi lại, ít hơn số tiền mà bạn bè họ bỏ ra để đi tới những địa điểm nóng dành cho kì nghỉ xuân truyền thống.

Các chuyến ‘kì nghỉ xuân thay thế’ dường như ngày càng phổ biến ở các trường đại học ở Mĩ. Sinh viên đưa ra hàng ngàn lí do để tham gia. Một số đánh giá cao cơ hội được giao tiếp và gặp gỡ những người bạn mới. Một số khác muốn thực hiện niềm tin của bản thân về sứ mệnh của con người là phục vụ nhân loại và làm cho thế giới trở nên tốt đẹp hơn bất kể vì lí do gì, những sinh viên này đã khám phá ra điều mang lại cho họ những bài học quý giá khi không ở trong trường học

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.

 

          Living things include both the visible world of animals and plants as well as the invisible world of bacteria and viruses. On a basic level, we can say that life is ordered. Organisms have an enormously complex organization. Life can also “work”. Living creatures can take in energy from the environment. This energy, in the form of food, is changed to maintain metabolic processes and for survival. Life grows and develops. This means more than just getting larger in size. Living organisms also have the ability to rebuild and repair themselves when injured. Life can reproduce. Life can only come from other living creatures. Life can respond. Think about the last time you accidentally stubbed your toe. Almost instantly, you moved back in pain. Finally, life can adapt and respond to the demands placed on it by the environment. There are three basic types of adaptations that can occur in higher organisms.
          Reversible changes occur as a response to changes in the environment. Let's say you live near sea level and you travel to a mountainous area. You may begin to experience difficulty breathing and an increase in heart rate as a result of the change in height. These signs of sickness go away when you go back down to sea level.
          Body- related changes happen as a result of prolonged changes in the environment. Using the previous example, if you were to stay in the mountainous area for a long time, you would notice that your heart rate would begin to slow down and you would begin to breath normally. These changes are also reversible. Genotypic changes (caused by genetic change) take place within the genetic make up of the organism and are not reversible. An example would be the development of resistance to bug-killing chemicals by insects and spiders

Which type of adaptation is permanent?
