【解析】

試題分析：這篇短文講述的是Smith先生的兩個(gè)兒子，小兒子小要錢買糖，被爸爸拒絕了，爸爸讓他吃橘子。小兒子非常喜歡橘子，所以他給自己留了一個(gè)大的，給哥哥一個(gè)小的，還很聰明的反駁了哥哥。

1.根據(jù)短文第一段中One morning during the holidays, when he was cleaning the car…可知，一個(gè)早上，Smith先生正在清理他的汽車。故這個(gè)問題的答案是He was cleaning the car。

2.根據(jù)短文第一段中One morning during the holidays, when he was cleaning the car, his younger son came and asked him for some money for sweets.可知，當(dāng)Smith現(xiàn)在正在清理汽車的時(shí)候，他的小兒子過來給他要錢買糖。故本題答案是Some money for sweets。

3.根據(jù)短文第二段中“Sweets are bad for your teeth,” Mr Smith said. “Take these two oranges instead ,and give one to your elder(年長的)brother,”可知，Smith先生沒有答應(yīng)兒子的要求，他覺得吃糖對牙齒不好，讓他吃橘子。故這個(gè)題的答案是否定的。

4.根據(jù)短文第二段中as the small boy liked oranges very much, he kept that bigger one for himself, and gave his brother the smaller one.可知，小兒子喜歡吃橘子，所以他給自己留了一個(gè)大的，把小的給了他的哥哥。所以是小兒子得到了大的橘子。

5.根據(jù)短文中“It’s selfish(自私的)to take the bigger one for yourself.可知，哥哥覺得他的弟弟自己留了一個(gè)大的橘子，這樣做很自私。故本題答案是Because he kept the bigger orange for himself。
