试题分析：本文讲述的是理查德.斯尔曼成立青年旅馆的前因后果和具体信息。

1.E 根据下句This was not because the woods and fields were always far away, but because they were too far from the city to permit people to make a day trip between morning and nightfall.可知本句叙述很多年轻人都无法出去领略自然的美景。下面两句解释具体的原因。

2.A 根据下句He decided to turn his little school house into a dormitory for the summer holidays.可知他想到了把宿舍用作夏天度假的宿舍。故A项与这一句相配。

3.D 根据下句This was the first hostel (青年招待所).这是第一青年招待所，可知前面一句应该说明的是他把学校的宿舍用作了旅馆。故D正确。

4.G 根据前一句的they have only to show their cards of membership in a hostel organization in their own country可知这两句讲述的是会员卡的问题。故G项符合上下文。

5.C 根据下一句For this reason, a few weeks spent ‘hostelling’ can be just as useful a part of one’s education as classes in school.可知这样做对教育是有好处的，说明前面一句讲述的是在旅行指人们所学习到的知识。故C项符合上下文。
