Read the following article and select the best answer. Article: One often hears it said that travel broadens the mind.But does this always happen? When an acquaintance of mine returned from France, I asked him how he liked it."The breakfasts were terrible." he said, "No bacon or kippers.I had fried eggs and chips, but it was quiet a business getting them to make them." Obviously travel had not broadened his mind.He had judged it entirely from his own English viewpoints. All nationalities, in all foreign countries, can be found judging what they see, hear, taste and smell according to their own habits and customs.People who are better educated and who have read a lot about foreign countries tend to adapt and tolerate all easily.That is because their minds have already been broadened before they start travelling. Physical differences are not so difficult to be adapted to as mental ones.In Indonesia, the left hand is considered unclean.When a foreigner offers or takes something with his left hand, the Indonesian may explain this action as arising from a difference in custom, but the deep prejudice against the use of the left hand will not be so easily _ . There are some travelers who adapt themselves so successfully to foreign customs and habits that they get the severe criticisms of their more stubborn fellow-countrymen.If they are Asians, they are accused of having become "Westernized", and if they are Europeans, people say they have "gone native". Perhaps the ideal would be if travel could succeed m making people tolerate the habits and customs of others without abandoning their own.The criterion for judging a foreigner could be "Does he try to be polite and considerate to others?" instead of "Is he like me? Question: The author mentions his acquaintance's travel to show _ . - the breakfasts are terrible in France - the English style of life is better - travel can't always broaden one's mind - it is not easy to get used to the life in France
travel can't always broaden one's mind

Q: Read the following article and select the best answer. Article: A farm planted levels or floors is called a vertical farm. A skyscraper type building can house a vertical farm. Since the garden is built upwards,rather than outwards,it requires much less space than a conventional farm. The world is quickly running out of room for conventional farming. Vertical farms could be a key to this situation. An 18story vertical farm could feed as many as 50,000 people,all in an area which is the size of the average city block. Vertical farms in the city could cut down on transportation costs as well. Think about the amount of fuel it takes to transport food from farmland to city. The resources saved would be surprising. Besides saving travel time,food would be delivered in fresher condition and with less damage. There is a growing concern about the use of pesticides in agriculture today. But the vertical farm would be a greenhouse type environment, avoiding the need for a large number of pesticides. Vertical farms can be built in a contained space,therefore they are an excellent solution for living well in an environment far different from our own. Hydroponics could be a big part of vertical gardening. This would reduce the amount of soil needed to grow food. Of course,not all food does well with this type of planting,but there are many crops that actually seem to do better. In some climates,a lack of sunlight creates a short growing season. The solar power option may not work as well here. The addition of grow lights would make it possible to grow crops in vertical gardens in these areas .In other words,we could grow crops in areas where we never could before. Vertical farms may just be a concept for now,but they are a concept that will solve many of our problems in the future. Question: It can be learned from the passage that vertical farms _ . - have been put into use - only use hydroponics to grow food - need less room than conventional farms - may increase the transportation costs
A: need less room than conventional farms

Q: Read the following article and select the best answer. Article: He wasn't sick. He wasn't old. And he wasn't losing. He had a very good final season and won his last game in 2008. And then he walked away. Lloyd Carr was 62. That's a few years earlier than retirement age in America and many years earlier than some college football coaches say goodbye. How was Carr, who coached University of Michigan, able to leave so easily? " It can be _ ," Carr admits. "The Saturday afternoons and the crowds. And when you win, there's nothing like it." But the job needs hard work. The pressure to win. The endless training. The hours are so long that sleeping at the office is a normal thing. I reported Carr's career at Michigan from 1995 to 2007. I saw him run onto the field before 100,000 cheering fans, saw him enjoy a share of a national championship with a 12-0 season. And when I visited him recently in retirement, the difference was noticeable. He seems much calmer, relaxed, more at peace. He says, "As much fun as it is, there's a period when you have other things to deal with." Carr knew he wanted to travel, see the world, read more, do other work. He is now connected with a children's hospital, does some speaking, plays golf, and enjoys relaxing with his wife, Laurie, and their many grandchildren. Several of today's big-name coaches are all about Carr's retirement age. Nick Saban turns 59 this month. Jim Tressel is 57. Frank Beamer is already 63. None of them seems to be slowing down. So when, I ask Carr, is the right moment to leave such a great job? He thinks. Finally, he says, "When you love it and can still walk away from it. That's the right moment." Question: Lloyd Carr stopped working as a coach because he _ . - was too old - was injured seriously - had other things to experience - followed others' examples
A: had other things to experience
