Outside-the-classroom Learning Makes a Big Difference
Putting a bunch of college students in charge of a $ 300, 000 Dance Marathon, fundraiser sure lysounds a bit risky. When you consider the fact that the money is supposed to be given to. Children in need of medical care, you might call the idea crazy.
Most student leaders don't want to spend a large amount of time on something they care little a bout, said 22-year-old University of Florida student Darren Heitner. He was the Dance Marathon's operations officer for two years.
Yvonne Fangmeyer, director of the student organization office at the University of Wisconsin, conducted a survey in February of students involved in campus organizations. She said the desire for friendship was the most frequently cited reason for joining.
At large universities like Fangmeyer's, which has more than 40, 000 students, the students first of all want to find a way to "belong in their own comer of campus".
Katie Rowley, a Wisconsin senior, confirms the survey's findings. "I wanted to make the cam pus feel smaller by joining an organization where I could not only get involved on campus but also find a group of friends. "
All of this talk of friendship, however, does not mean that students aren't thinking about their resumes. "I think that a lot of people do join to ' fatten up their resume' , " said Heitner. "At the beginning of my college career, I joined a few of these organizations, hoping to get a start in my leadership roles. "
But without passion student leaders can have a difficult time trying to weather the storms that come. For example, in April, several student organizations at Wisconsin teamed up for an event de signed to educate students about homelessness and poverty. Student leaders had to face the problem of solving disagreements, moving the event because of rainy weather, and dealing with the university's complicated bureaucracy.
"Outside-of the classroom learning really makes a big difference. " Fangmeyer said.
An extracurricular activity like raising a fund of $ 300, 000 is risky because most student leaders ______.

听力原文：Six. What does the man decide to take Tracy？
Man: I'm going to see Tracy in hospital, but I can't think of what to take her. People always take flowers ...
Woman: ... so she'll have lots already for sure. I always think it's nice to have something to read myself, but as Tracy's got her walkman with her, what about something to listen to？
Man: What a good idea. It's better than taking sweets, certainly, because I know she's on a special diet while she is in hospital.

What has furnished a new market for sophisticated office equipment since the mid-1970s？
Boy: I don't know. It might get a bit boring. I don't think I've got enough money to go anywhere nice for a holiday this year.
Girl: It would be nice to have lots of money to spend but a good holiday doesn't have to be expensive!
Boy: Oh yes it does! The best holiday I ever had was a few years ago when I went to Greece. I want to fly off somewhere hot, and lie on the beach and go swimming.
Girl: Yes, well, I can't afford to do that, either.
Boy: So what are you doing this summer？
Girl: I'm going on a walking holiday in Scotland with some friends. We went last year, and we really enjoyed it. We walked all day and spent the nights in Youth Hostels. Why don't you come with us？ We're going for two weeks. It won't cost much, and you'll come home feeling really relaxed and fit.
Boy: I'm not sure. Walking all day sounds like hard work to me. And surely you're not hoping for lots of sunshine in Scotland？
Girl: It did rain a bit last year, but most of the time it was sunny. Anyway, it's not good walking in the heat. You have to stop all the time to rest and have drinks.
Boy: Well, I like the sun, and I like to stay in comfortable hotels, not Youth Hostels!
Girl: But they are comfortable. They're basic, and the food's often not very good, but they're very clean and cheap. In fact I prefer them to hotels because the people are always so friendly.
Boy: Maybe. Look Lisa, thanks a lot for asking me, but I think I'll just stay home and get bored!
