【解析】

本文是一篇记叙文，文章记叙了准时上课的Alice因为在公交车上捡到钱包，为了物归原主而迟到的故事。故事最后老师并没有生Alice的气，因为她做了正确的事情，迟到情有可原。

1.细节理解题。根据文章第一段第二句“She is 11 years old (two years younger than me).”可知Alice已经11岁了，文章作者比Alice大两岁，所以作者是13岁，故答案为The writer is 13 years old.

2.细节理解题。根据文章第二段第三句“When the old man gets off the bus, Alice finds a bag in the seat.”和倒数第二句“She goes to the old man's home and gives him the bag.”可知Alice发现老人丢了包，她根据包里物品的信息找到了老人的家，并把包还给了老人，所以她才会上课迟到。所以老师不生Alice的气是因为Alice帮助了老人，做了好事。故答案为Because Alice helps the old man and does a good thing.

3.词句猜测题。“However”前一个句子是“...she is late today. ……她今天迟到了”，“However”后一个句子是“...her teacher Mr Smith isn't angry with her. ……她的老师Smith先生并没有生她的气”，可知前后两个句子是转折关系，所以推断“However”的中文意思是“然而”，故答案为然而。

4.细节理解题。根据文章第二段第三句“When the old man gets off the bus, Alice finds a bag in the seat.”可知当老人下车后Alice在座位上发现了包，故答案为In the seat.

5.推理判断题。根据Alice拾金不昧的行为我们可以用“乐于助人”和“可爱”等词来形容她，故答案为Helpful and lovely.
