试题分析：文章讲的是Jack每天下班都很安静，他的奶奶对此很满意。有一天，他带他的同学Mary回家，聊天聊了很久，不知道时间，Jack利用跺脚，从他奶奶那知道了时间。

1.B推理判断题。根据第一段”Jack is a twenty-year-old young man. Two years ago, when he finished middle school, “可知，20岁的时候毕业两年了，所以是18岁毕业的。故选B。

2.C推理判断题。根据后文他跺脚的事情可以推断出，他奶奶喜欢安静的环境，所以他肯定是很安静的。故选C。

3.A推理判断题。根据”they talked about their school, teachers, classmates"可知选A。

4.C推理判断题。根据因为他们都不知道时间，没有表，而他奶奶在他跺脚之后说了时间可知，他是为了知道时间。故选C。
