a lot of cars and buses on the road. The driver asked her: “Are you afraid to cross the road?” “Not really!” She

Questions 6-10 are based on the following passage: One of the most popular fields of study for college students
these days is leisure studies. The names of the courses, “Introduction to Sport” or “The Philosophy of Sport,” call forth scenes of college students idly talking of Frisbees and sleeping on the grass. But leisure studies is a deadly serious field: students learn how to run the sports programs of big city park departments, how to manage a ski resort or a vacation hotel. The students learn how to organize a teenage soccer league where little or no interest exists in the sport, how to teach and keep beginners interested, and how to keep track of admissions money. To do all these things, they must take courses in psychology and business management along with those in leisure.
