本文主要讲述了户外学习的重要性。在英国近十几年来很多报告都在强调户外学习的重要性，研究者提议让政府强制学校开设户外学习课程，并列举了户外学习给孩子们带来的各种益处。

1.根据上一句They say outdoor learning is important for students' social skills，health and development.可知这里说的是户外学习对学生的重要性，它不仅对学生的社交技巧，健康，发展很重要，它还可以提高他们生活的质量，故选E。

2.根据后文They say outdoor learning is on the decline (在消减) in Britain.The researchers want Britain's government to act to put outdoor learning on the curriculum(课程) of all schools.可知在英国户外学习在消减，以至于这些研究者想让政府出面强制学校把坏学习纳入学校课程。可以推测出学校并没有按照这些报告的建议把户外学习课程重视起来。故选A。

3.根据后文One advantage is that….以及后文的There are also health benefits…, A final benefit is that….这都是对户外学习好处的列举，可见户外学习对孩子们来说有很多的好处，故选C。

4.根据前文One advantage is that…可知用到one…another…一个….另一个….,这里都是对户外学习益处的列举，故选B.

5.根据上一句A final benefit is that it helps with the problem of what is class “stranger danger”最后一个好处是它可以帮助解决“什么是班级陌生人的问题”，这是针对当今一个新的问题的解决方法，故后文说“这是许多当今英国孩子长大后听到的一个想法。”故选D。
