Every year in April, students at Renmin University of China have more pleasure than other students in Beijing. Why? Because they get a week off in the middle of term, the so-called(所谓) spring break.

“It’s been a tradition of our school for years,” said Wang Yueran, 20, a student at Renmin University. He organized a weeklong trip to Sichuan with 12 classmates last year.

But having fun is just one part of the spring break. Field trips, voluntary work, and social projects are all on students’ to-do lists. The Chinese proverb says “reading 10,000 books and traveling 10,000 miles”. It means experience is as important as theory. But while Chinese universities have the tradition of spring outings, what’s the aim of making spring break?

Qin Jianguo, from the student affairs office at Shenzhen University, thinks the idea of the spring break in some universities in China comes from the intention(目的) of pushing students out of the ivory tower(象牙塔) to get experience in their life. Many countries have similar vacations in the middle of the semester for students to do things they like. Taking Japan as an example, instead of partying like the US, many Japanese students choose to work as interns(实习生).

Besides Renmin University, only a few other universities in China, such as Yantai University, have a spring break for their students. Wei Xiang, a professor(教授) at Beijing International Studies University, said that the spring break is a good experiment for universities to give students more choices to arrange their own leisure(休闲) and study activities.

1.Why do students at Renmin University of China have more pleasure than other students in Beijing in April?

2. Besides having fun, what are also on students’ to-do lists?

3.According to Qin Jianguo, what is the intention of the spring break in some universities?

4. What do many Japanese students do during spring break?

5.Do most of Chinese universities have spring break now?

At East China University of Science and Technology, students who finish their food in the dining hall can get a coupon(优惠券) when they return their tray(餐盘). They can exchange coupons for small gifts, such as books, magazines, mobile phone covers and hand warmers.

“It’s been a big surprise,” said Liang Zhaoyun, 19, a student in the university of Shanghai. “It makes us try our best to finish the food!”

But some food in the dining hall is so poorly prepared that students are reluctant to finish it all. Some schools have paid some attention to it.

“The dishes in our canteen are all right, generally speaking. We’ve tried our best to make it tasty. But of course it’s difficult to make all the students love it.” said Wang.

Other universities also pay attention to the size of food. At Nanjing University, rice is divided into three different-sized bowls that students can choose from.

“I like to try different dishes at each meal. So I had to throw away a lot of food because the bowls were too big. But now the dining hall offers small sizes. It’s great because I can try different dishes at half price and don’t waste so much food,” said Fan Peng, a student from Nanjing University.

But what if you really can’t finish all your food? Some universities also provide a take-away service. If you can’t finish all your food, you can get a box to take the leftovers home. Even if you feed the cat, it’s not wasted.

So you see, if we call on students not to waste food, schools should also improve the service and meal quality.

1.How can the students at East China University of Science and Technology get a coupon?

A. They eat up all the food and wash the tray.

B. They return the tray in the dining hall.

C. They finish all the food and return the tray.

D. They wash the tray and return it.

2.In some universities, if you can’t finish all your food, you can __________________.

A. leave the food on the table and go away                     B. share it with your friends

C. give the food back to the dining hall                             D. take it away with a box

3.The underlined word “reluctant” in this passage means ___________ in Chinese.

A. 开心的                            B. 饥饿的                            C. 不情愿的                        D.不可能的

4. In order to reduce the waste, universities do a lot of things except _____________.

A. trying to make the food as delicious as possible.

B. offering different sizes of the food.

C. exchanging trays for coupons and gifts.

D. raising the price of the food.

5.Where can we read this passage?

A. In a newspaper.                                          B. In a science book.

C. In a story book.                                           D. In a fashion magazine.
