【解析】

这篇短文给我们讲述了一个小故事，Smith先生给了他的儿子两个橘子，他的小儿子非常喜欢吃橘子，他把小的给了哥哥，自己吃大的。哥哥知道后，很不高兴，他说他会给弟弟大的。小儿子说他早就知道，所以他拿了大的。

【1】根据短文中One morning during the holidays, when he was cleaning the car, his younger son came and asked him for some money for sweets可知，Smith先生在擦车。

【2】根据短文中One morning during the holidays, when he was cleaning the car, his younger son came and asked him for some money for sweets可知，Smith先生的小儿子给他要钱买糖。

【3】根据短文中Sweets are bad for your teeth，"Mr. Smith said. "Take these two oranges instead可知，Smith先生的小儿子想要钱买糖，但Smith先生没有同意，给了他两个橘子。

【4】根据短文中One of the oranges is quite a lot bigger than the other one, and as the small boy liked oranges very much, he kept that one for himself, and gave his brother the smaller one可知，Smith先生的小儿子把大的橘子留给了自己，把小的给了哥哥。所以答案为The younger boy。

【5】根据短文中When the other boy saw that his brother had a much larger orange than his own, he said to him, "It's selfish （自私的） to take the bigger one for yourself可知，哥哥觉得弟弟把大的橘子留给了自己，这样做很自私。

这篇短文讲述了一个小故事，比较容易理解。题型是任务型阅读，后面设置了五个问题。做题时，应先通读短文，掌握大意。然后根据题目所问定位到原文相关之处，使用正确的语言作答。例如第2小题，题目问的是小儿子要什么，注意ask….for这个短语，根据短文中One morning during the holidays, when he was cleaning the car, his younger son came and asked him for some money for sweets这句话可知，Smith先生的小儿子给他要钱买糖，故回答He asked for some money for sweets.再如第5小题，题目涉及哥哥，因此答案在短文的最后一段，根据哥哥说的话可知，他觉得弟弟把大橘子留给了他自己，这样做是很自私的，故应回答Because he kept the bigger orange for himself.
