Trang 3dead mail offices in Atlanta, New York, Philadelphia, St Paul, or San Francisco Seventy-five millionpieces of mail can end up in the dead mail office in one year.
The staff of the dead mail offices have a variety of ways to deal with all of these pieces of deadmail First of all, they look for clues that can help them deliver the mail; they open packages in the
hope that something inside will show where the package came from or is going to Dead mail will alsobe listed on a computer so that people can call in and check to see if a missing item is there.
However, all of this mail cannot simply be stored forever; there is just too much of it When a lotof dead mail has piled up, the dead mail offices hold public auctions Every three months, the publicis invited in and bins containing items found in dead mail packages are sold to the highest bidder.

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 around36,000, more than half a million university students arrive during the month of March to play and party, makingit 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 alleviate problems such as poverty, homelessness, or environmentaldamage makes spring break a unique learning experience that university students can feel good about.
During one spring break week, students at James Madison University in Virginia participated in 15 “alternative spring break” trips to nearby states, three others to more distant parts of the United States, and five international trips One group of JMU students traveled to Bogalusa, Louisiana, to help rebuild homes damaged by Hurricane Katrina Another group traveled to Mississippi to organize creative activities for children living in
a homless shelter One group of students did go to Florida, but not to lie on the sand They performed
exhausting physical labor such as maintaining hiking trails and destroying invasive plant species that threaten the native Florida ecosystem.
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 reason 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 alongwith a break from school work.
