In college, Spring Break (春假)is usually associated with the beach, parties and sleepless nights, bringing about relaxation, free time and friends. Students who wish to spend their break doing something productive and rewarding, however, may choose to participate in the Alternative Break Program. It places college students in communities both at home and abroad.

The Program allows students to take part in various projects dealing with issues such as literacy (识字), homelessness and the environment. It includes helping kids with their lessons, raising money for families in need and collecting data for environmental research.

The hope is that, by getting themselves involved in different environments, students will have the opportunity to learn about members of communities and broaden their view. In turn, they will incorporate (融合) their experiences and lessons learned into their own communities. In a word, the Program aims to encourage students to be active citizens and engage themselves in making a difference in society.

In the spring of 2006, about 36,000 students in the USA participated in the Alternative Break Program.

Samantha Giacobozzi, now director of the Program, has been on five alternative break trips herself, including trips to New Orleans, India and Dominican Republic. “I was a student who went on alternative break trips and had my life totally transformed by that experience,” she said. “Every year, we meet many students who have attended the Program. You can see changes in their life that are connected with their alternative break experiences.”

The Program began in 1991.Today, it has become increasingly popular with college students in the United States.

    Unusual incidents are being reported across the Arctic. Inuit (因纽特人) families going

off on snowmobiles to prepare their summer hunting camps have found themselves cut

off from home by a sea of mud. There are also reports of sea ice breaking up earlier than

usual, carrying seals beyond the reach of hunters. Climate change may still be a rather

abstract (抽象的) idea to most of us, but in the Arctic it is already having great effect-

if summertime ice continues to shrink at its present rate, the Arctic Ocean could soon

become almost ice-free in summer. The knock-on effects (连锁反应) are likely to include

more warming, cloudier skies and higher sea levels. Scientists are increasingly eager to find

out what's going on in the Arctic.

    For the Inuit the problem is urgent. They live in unsteady balance with one of the toughest

environments on earth. Climate change, whatever its causes, is a direct danger to their way

of life. Nobody knows the Arctic as well as the locals, which is why they are not content

simply to stand back and let outsider experts tell them what's happening. In Canada, where

the Inuit people are trying hard to guard their hard-won autonomy (自治权) in the country's

newest land, Nunavut, they believe their best hope of survival in this changing environment

lies in combining their ancestral (祖先的) knowledge with the best of modern science. This

is a challenge in itself.

    The Canadian Arctic is a vast, treeless polar desert that's covered with snow for most of

the year. Adventure into this area and you get some idea of the hardships facing anyone who

calls this home. Farming is out of the question and nature offers few pickings. Humans first

settled in the Arctic a mere 4,500 years ago, surviving by taking advantage of sea first. The

environment tested them to the limits: sometimes the settlers were successful; sometimes they

failed and disappeared. But around a thousand years ago, one group appeared that was uniquely

well adapted to deal with the Arctic environment. These Thule people moved in from Alaska,

bringing dogs, iron tools and the like. They are the ancestors of today's Inuit people.

1. Which of the following is likely to be the effect of climate change? [ ]

A. Shorter and shorter summertime.

B. Ice-free summer around the Arctic.

C. Lower sea levels.

D. More rainy skies.

2. The Inuit people believe the solution to the climate change problem is _____. [ ]

A. to change their way of life

B. to do as their ancestors

C. to try to protect the environment from now on

D. to use their ancestral knowledge and modern science

3. It can be concluded from the last paragraph that _____. [ ]

A. the first settlers in the Arctic survived there quite easily

B. it's hard to farm in the Arctic due to climate change

C. the ancestors of Inuit people stood out among the settlers

D. the Thule people from Alaska invented iron tools

4. Which of the following is the best title for this text? [ ]

A. Climate Change and the Inuit

B. Climate Change around the Arctic

C. Global Warming around the World

D. The Inuit and Their Ancestors around the World
