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, plants, and fungi 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. We're all familiar with the intricate systems of the basic unit of life, the cell. Life can also "work." Living creatures can take in energy from the environment. This energy, in the form of food, is transformed to maintain metabolic processes and for survival. Life grows and develops. This means more than just replicating or getting larger in size. Living organisms also have the ability to rebuild and repair themselves when injured. Life can reproduce. 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 altitude. These symptoms go away when you go back down to sea level. Body-related changes occur as a result of prolonged changes in the environment. Using there 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 mutation) take place within the genetic makeup of the organism and are not reversible. An example would be the development of resistance to pesticides by insects and spiders.

Đối với nhiều sinh viên đại học Mỹ, kỳ nghỉ nghỉ xuân kéo dài một tuần đồng nghĩa với sự khởi đầu của bữa tiệc bất tận trên một bãi biển đầy nắng ở Florida hoặc Mexico. Tại Panama City Beach ở Florida, một thành phố có dân số khoảng 36.000 người, hơn nửa triệu sinh viên đại học đến vào tháng 3 để chơi và tổ chức tiệc tùng, làm cho nó trở thành điểm đến mùa xuân số một tại Hoa Kỳ. Không phải đối với tất cả mọi người, tuy nhiên, ngày càng có nhiều sinh viên đại học Mỹ tìm ra cách để tận hưởng kì nghỉ xuân. Đối với họ, tham gia hoặc lãnh đạo một nhóm tình nguyện viên đi du lịch tại địa phương hoặc quốc tế và làm việc để giảm bớt các vấn đề như đói nghèo, vô gia cư hoặc thiệt hại về môi trường làm cho kì nghỉ mùa xuân trở thành trải nghiệm học tập độc đáo mà sinh viên đại học có thể cảm thấy tốt hơn.
Trong một kỳ nghỉ xuân tại Đại học James Madison ở Virginia đã tham gia 15 chuyến nghỉ xuân được thay thế bằng các chuyến đi đến các tiểu bang lân cận, ba chuyến đi đến nhiều nơi xa xôi hơn của Hoa Kỳ và năm chuyến đi quốc tế. Một nhóm sinh viên JMU đến Bogalusa, Louisiana để giúp đỡ. Một nhóm khác đã đi đến Mississippi để tổ chức các hoạt động sáng tạo cho trẻ em sống trong khu ổ chuột, khu người vô gia cư. Một nhóm học sinh đã đi làm rã rời chân tay ở Florida nhưng không được phép nằm trên cát. Họ làm việc giống như những người kiểm lâm rào và phá hủy các loài thực vật xâm lấn đe dọa hệ sinh thái vùng Florida.
Học sinh tham gia vào các dự án kì nghỉ mùa xuân khác biệt thấy chúng rất bổ ích. Trong khi hầu hết sinh viên đại học phải lấy bằng cấp trước khi họ có thể bắt đầu giúp đỡ mọi người, sinh viên tình nguyện viên có thể giúp mọi người ngay bây giờ. Mặt khác, xung quanh các phòng ở rất an toàn. Học sinh thường ngủ trên sàn nhà của một trường học hoặc nhà thờ, hoặc dành cả tuần cắm trại trong lều. Nhưng sinh viên chỉ trả khoảng 250 đô la cho các bữa ăn và giao thông, ít hơn nhiều so với một số đồng nghiệp của họ dành để đi đến các điểm nóng kì nghỉ mùa xuân truyền thống.
Các chuyến đi nghỉ xuân khác biệt dường như ngày càng phổ biến ở các trường đại học trên khắp Hoa Kỳ. Học sinh trích dẫn một số lý do để tham gia. Một số đánh giá cao cơ hội để giao tiếp và gặp gỡ những người bạn mới. Những người khác muốn thực hiện mong muốn của họ về nghĩa vụ của công dân phục vụ nhân loại và làm cho thế giới trở thành một nơi tốt đẹp hơn. Bất kể lý do của họ là gì, những sinh viên này đã khám phá ra một điều gì đó mang lại cho họ phần thưởng phong phú cùng với một khoảng thời gian thư giãn từ công việc học.
