【解析】

试题分析：这篇短文讲述的是Smith先生对他的学生做的一项调查，调查他们在休息日的最后一天都做了些什么。短文中主要提到了Linda、Tom、Mary和Mike四个学生。

1.根据短文第二段中Her grandparents live in the countryside.可知，Linda的爷爷奶奶住在农村。故本题的答案是They live in the countryside。

2.根据短文第二段中Mary look after her little brother because her mother was ill.可知，Mary的妈妈生病了，所以她不得不照顾她的弟弟。

3.根据短文第二段中Mike studied history at home. He isn’t good at history.可知，Mike的历史成绩不好，所以他在家学习历史。故答案是否定的。

4.本句中help sb. do sth.意为：帮助某人做某事；do some housework是一个固定的短语，意思是做家务。所以这句话的意思是：Tom帮助他的父母做家务。

5.本句中had to 的意思是不得不；look after 是一个固定的短语，意思是照顾。因此这句话的意思是：他的爸爸不得不照顾生病住院的母亲。
