【解析】

短文大意：作者生活在国外，阅读书籍有助于与朋友、家人以及他的祖国建立联系。短文介绍了自己经常阅读的三本书：《长腿叔叔》、《哈利·波特》和《铁路少年》。

1.句意：由于我的工作，我可以住在不同的国家。文中句子“My work allows me to live in different countries.”的意思是“我的工作允许我能够生活在不同的国家。”两个句子意思相同。故答案为My work allows me to live in different countries。

2.问题：作家的妈妈什么时候给他读这本书的？根据文中句子“This book always makes me think of my mother because she used to read it to me when I was ill in bed.”可知，每当作者卧病在床时的时候，妈妈给他读这本书，故答案为When the writer/he was ill in bed。

3.many times许多次；since primary school自上小学以来；them指代《哈利波特》系列书。故答案为：自从上小学以来我已经把这些书读过许多遍了。

4.This is…这是……；one of+可数名词的复数形式，意为“……之一”；favorite books最喜欢的书。故答案为This is one of my favorite books。

5.问题：最后一句中带下划线的“it”是指什么？根据文中句子It is about three children and their adventures(冒险经历)next to a railway. 它是关于三个孩子和他们铁路旁边的冒险经历。这句话是介绍The Railway Children这本书的主要内容，故It指代The Railway Children这本书。
