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 38 to 42.
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 show problems such as poverty, homelessness, or environmental damage makes spring break a unique learning experience that university students can feel good about. 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 NOT mentioned as a problem that alternative spring break trips try to help solve?
A. Environment damage
B. Homelessness
C. Poverty

Dịch bài đọc:
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 mùa 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 mùa xuân có ý nghĩa. Đối với họ, việc tham gia hoặc dẫn dắt một 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. 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. Nhưng 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 phần thưởng quý giá khi không ở trong trường học.

One of the ways we assess students on this course is to give them a level related to the Common European Framework (CEFR). This framework is now being used in 16 universities in Vietnam. The goal of this course is for students to reach at least B1 or B2 if you want to progress to IELTS (see attachment below). This means you are an independent user of English. You are assessed throughout the course in every lesson and you will be required to produce an e-portfolio showing your best work (a website). I will explain how to do this later in the course. For now, you should start to keep a journal of your learning here. This should reflect what you have learned. Please write about your reflections on the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child: Feelings about what you have learned today The role of the CRC and Vietnam Something new and interesting that you learned today and that you didn't know before. Please write150-200 words and check your work BEFORE you turn it in.
