1.信息匹配题。根据第一个的信息房子只有3个卧室，而Brown 夫人想要4个卧室的房子。故选B。

2.信息匹配题。根据She thinks it is an exciting place. It’s hard work可知，她认为餐厅很令人激动，虽然很辛苦。根据第二个广告的内容可知，餐厅有时周六周日还会加班，很忙，三餐免费，故选C。

3.信息匹配题。根据Tom的情况可知，Tom12岁，年龄在规定的9-13岁之间，但是他放学的时间是下午3：30，而俱乐部要求周五下午3：00开始训练。学校放学太晚了。故选C。

4.信息匹配题。根据描述可知，Jack想要一个安静的地方，但是这个房间在大火车站附近，还有公共汽车从门前经过，楼下是餐厅，太吵闹了。故选D。

Assistants need to pay for their meals.服务员需要付饭费；D. Assistants can have the meals in the restaurant without paying money.服务员在饭店工作期间吃饭免费。这个描述最合理。故选D。
