試題分析：通過閱讀短文我們可以知道史密斯先生是個愛喝酒的人，因為喝酒問題差點被解雇。在承諾不喝酒后，又因為喝酒燙傷了耳朵，很容易被老板推斷出他又喝了酒的事實。所以他可能面臨被解雇的結局。

1. he couldn’t work when he drank too much.And once he almost fell into the river可知選B

2. went to watch a football match yesterday和上文One Monday morning Mr Smith came into the office可知時間是星期日，故選C。

3.

4.史密斯先生把烙鐵當作了電話，雖然燙傷了兩只耳朵，但是只有一個烙鐵，故選C。
