试题分析：通过阅读短文我们可以知道史密斯先生是个爱喝酒的人，因为喝酒问题差点被解雇。在承诺不喝酒后，又因为喝酒烫伤了耳朵，很能被老板推断出他又喝了酒的事实。所以他可能面临被解雇的结局。
小题1:根据But he couldn’t work when he drank too much.And once he almost fell into the river可知选B。
小题2:根据I went to watch a football match yesterday和上文One Monday morning Mr Smith came into the office可知时间是星期日，故选D。
小题3:通过短文后半部分对史密斯两只耳朵受伤原因的表述，可知他肯定是又喝了酒，正常人是不会犯下那样的错误的，故选A。
小题4:通过阅读短文我们可以知道史密斯先生把烙铁当作了电话，虽然烫伤了两只耳朵，但是只有一个烙铁，故选C。
小题5:通过阅读短文我们知道前面史密斯已经承诺不再喝酒，从他耳朵烫伤这件事，布莱克先生很容易推断出他又喝了酒。从四个选项的描述上来看，他被解雇的可能性最大，故选D。
点评：本文各小题出的很有针对性，答案需要根据相关信息推断出来，故需要认真阅读短文，在读懂全文后在着手回答问题。
