The tradition of gift giving is a worldwide (25) _______ that is said to have been around since the
beginning of human beings. Over time, different cultures have developed their own gift giving customs and
traditions.
In France, the gift of wine for the hostess of a dinner party is not an appropriate gift as the hostess

gift for the hostess. In Viet Nam, a gift of whisky is appropriate for the host, and some fruit or small gifts
for the hostess, children or elders of the home. Besides, gifts should never be wrapped in black paper

Task 5. Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer
to each of the questions.

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 reasons 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.
