【解析】短文大意：一周前约翰得到了爸爸送给的生日礼物——一辆玩具小汽车。当约翰正在玩自己的玩具车的时候，他的妈妈在厨房出事了，发生了火灾，他听到妈妈在呼喊救命，由于家里没有其他人，约翰跑到邻居家里喊人过来帮助救妈妈，约翰的妈妈得救了，约翰的爸爸理查德为自己的小儿子感到骄傲。

1.数字计算题。通读短文大意可知，理查德一家共有5口人，理查德夫妇还有三个孩子，故答案为B。

2.推理判断题。根据下文中的句子“She soon put out the fire and took Leila to the hospital.”中出现的主语she，一定指代上句中出现的人，只有D答案“But he ran to the neighbour's house and asked her for help”中出现了she所指代的邻居，故答案为D。

3.细节理解题。根据短文的情节介绍，一周前约翰得到了爸爸送给的生日礼物——玩具车；当约翰正在玩自己的玩具车的时候，他的妈妈在厨房出事了；他听到妈妈在呼喊救命；由于家里没有其他人，约翰跑到邻居家里喊人过来帮助救妈妈，约翰的妈妈得救了，约翰的爸爸理查德为自己的小儿子感到骄傲，故正确的顺序为A。

4.标题归纳题。短文介绍了三岁的小汤姆在妈妈遇到危险时，临危不惧，机智救母的故事，被视作爸爸的骄傲，故答案为A。
