1.细节理解题。根据短文的开头Little Bob was born in a poor family. What’s worse is that his father has been ill for a long time and can not do any housework at all可知，Bob的父亲生病很长时间了，不能做任何的家务活。故应选D。

2.细节理解题。根据短文第一段中Bob’s mother is very busy with the housework besides working in her factory. Bob can understand her mother’s hard work and he always does some housework for his mother可知，Bob的父亲生病，不能做家务活，他的妈妈又在工厂里忙着工作，还要做家务，因此Bob体谅妈妈的辛苦，总是帮助妈妈做家务。由此可知应选D。

3.细节理解题。根据短文第二、三、四段的描述可知，Bob经常做的家务有Keep his bedroom clean、Feed the pets every day、Wash his own clothes等。题目中问的是打扫什么，应该是他的卧室，故应选A。

4.推理判断题。短文第四段中有这样一句话And after school, he often plays with his dog意思是说，放学后，他经常和他的狗一起玩。由此可见，Bob是一个学生。故应选C。

5.细节理解题。根据短文的最后一句话he says it’s a good thing to make his mother happy可知，Bob觉得让妈妈开心是一件很好的事情。由此可知应选B。tired累的；shy害羞的；busy忙的，都不符合文意。

点睛：这篇短文讲述了Bob帮助妈妈做家务，让妈妈开心。短文的内容贴近学生的日常生活，因此对于学生们来说正确理解文意是比较简单的。后面的题目也是以细节理解题为主，第4小题考查的是推理判断题，但是也很简单，从短文中after school这个短语就可以看出，Bob现在还是一个学生。
