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 homeless 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 dollars 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.

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 from 40 to 47.
By mid-century, there will likely be 9 billion people on the planet, consuming ever more
resources and leading ever more technologically complex lives. What will our cities be like?
How much will artificial intelligence advance? Will global warming trigger catastrophic
changes, or will we be able to engineer our way out of the climate change crisis?
Making predictions is, by nature, a dicey business, but to celebrate the 40th anniversary of
Smithsonian magazine Big Think asked top minds from a variety of fields to weigh in on what
the future holds 40 years from now. The result is our latest special series, Life in 20 50.
Demographic changes in world population and population growth will certainly be dramatic.
Rockefeller University mathematical biologist Joel Cohen says it's likely that by 2050 the
majority of the people in the world will live in urban areas, and will have a significantly higher
average age than people today. Cities theorist Richard Florida thinks urbanization trends will
reinvent the education system of the United States, making our economy less real estate driven
and erasing the divisions between home and work.
Large migrations from developing countries like Indonesia, Malaysia, Bangladesh, Mexico,
and countries in the Middle East could disrupt western governments and harm the unity of
France, Germany, Spain, the Netherlands, Poland, and the United Kingdom under the umbrella of the European Union.
And rapidly advancing technology will continue ever more rapidly. According to Bill
Mitchell, the late director of MIT's Smart Cities research group, cities of the future won't look
like "some sort of science -fiction fantasy" or "Star Trek" but it's likely that "discreet,
unobtrusive" technological advances and information overlays, i.e. virtual reality and
augmented reality, will change how we live in significant ways. Self-driving cars will make the
roads safer, driving more efficient, and provide faster transports. A larger version of driverless
cars-driverless trucks-may make long haul drivers obsolete.
Meanwhile, the Internet will continue to radically transform media, destroying the
traditional model of what a news organization is, says author and former New York Times
Public Editor, Daniel Okrent, who believes the most common kinds of news organizations in
the future will be "individuals and small alliances of individuals” reporting and publishing on niche topics.
