)Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage.
In
the
United
States
a
university
professor
is
given
a
few
months
of
freedom
from
his
duties
about
every
seventh
year
for
travel
or
advanced
study.
This
period of freedom from teaching is called
a “study or research leave”.
Its
purpose
is
to
give
the
professor
experiences
which
will
make
him
a
wiser
person and a better teacher when he returns to his university. Few study
leaves are interesting enough to be described in national newspapers and
magazines.
Recently,
however,
there
was
an
exception.
The
public
learned
how
Dr.
John
R. Coleman, president of Haverford College, had spent his study leave. At
the age of 51, Dr. Coleman was determined to escape from university life
for a few months and to get a variety of experiences in the world of work.
He especially wanted to learn about people. People who do hard physical
labor were especially interesting to him.
“
I wanted to get away from the
world
of
words
and
political
matters
and
parties
–
the
things
a
president
does,”
Dr.
Coleman
later
explained
to
news
writers.
“As
a
college
president you begin to take yourself very seriously and to think you have
power
you
don't.
You
forget
things
about
people.
I
wanted
to
relearn
things
I’d
forgotten.”
Telling
no
o
ne
of
his
plans,
Dr.
Coleman
started
his
study
leave on a farm in Canada, hundreds of miles from his college. Getting up
at 4:30 each morning, working thirteen hours a day in fields, he prepared
himself physically for
his
next
job,
digging ditches
in
Atlanta,
GeorgiA
、
After that, the college president washed dishes ina Boston restaurant.
During the last ten days of his leave, he worked as a garbage collector.

)Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage.
For
years,
it's
been
assumed
that
the
inside
environment
(
环境
)
limits
the
variety of plants that people are subjected to. Lately, however, plants
that
are
usually
only
grown
outdoors
have
found
their
way
into
inside
spaces.
There are a few simple reasons why this is. The modern inside environment
can be a good place for a wide variety of outdoor plants. Plants that
