3.Every year in late April,students at Renmin University of China become the subjects of admiration and jealousy of their peers on other campuses in Beijing.Why?(36)F It has been a unique tradition of Renmin University for a decade.
Having fun is just one dimension of the spring break.Field trips,voluntary work,and social projects are all on students'to-do lists.Experts say the spring break is not just for students to enjoy a few days off,but for them to gain new experiences beyond the campus walls.
Push them out
The traditional Chinese belief of the exploration of knowledge and truth emphasizes"reading 10,000 books and travelling 10,000 miles".(37)E But while Chinese universities have the tradition of spring outings,what's the benefit of making spring break an institution?
Qin Jianguo,from Shenzhen University,thinks the idea of the spring break in some universities in China comes from the intention of pushing students out of the ivory tower to experience more diversity in their lives.He said,"Take traveling for example.A week traveling is a very different experience to a one-or two-day outing.When put out in an unfamiliar context,students are expected to acquire the spirit of teamwork and compromise.(38)D"
Diverse approaches
Many countries have similar vacations in the middle of the semester for students to do things out of their own interest.Taking Japan as an example,instead of partying like their US counterparts,many Japanese students choose to work as interns or engage in study-related projects.

(40)B
Apart from Renmin University,only a few other universities,have a spring break for their students.The concept in China is still far from the culture and norms built around it in the US.
