本篇文章难度适中，主要讲述罗伯特在家里做家务，但是有一个箱子他搬不动，他尝试多次无果。最后爸爸回来了，他没有请爸爸帮忙，最后爸爸教育他说寻求帮忙不是什么丢人的事情，强者也需要帮助，当你陷入麻烦时，不要害怕寻求帮助。

【1】细节理解题。根据One day, when he was doing cleaning at home, he thought he should move the box out of the house可知，一天他在打扫卫生时，他认为他应该将箱子搬出家门。所以小男孩想要将箱子搬出去，故选B。

【2】细节理解题。根据The box made of wood was very heavy. And it was much bigger than he. He tried, but he could not move it可知，这个木制的箱子很沉，而且比他大，但是他不能移动这个箱子。所以这个箱子很沉，罗伯特搬不动，故选A。

【3】细节理解题。根据After resting for a short time, the boy started once more, but failed again. He couldn’t even move it a bit. He felt very tired and hopeless可知，休息了一小会后，这个小男孩开始再一次尝试，但是又失败了，这个箱子甚至都没有移动一点，他感到很累而且无助。所以他感到疲惫和无助，故选C。

【4】推理判断题。根据And are you doing everything you can?可知，本句话是由be动词引导的一般疑问句，回答也要用be动词，排除A和B；再根据“No, you’re not.” his father said quietly“不，你不能”，父亲轻声地说可知，说明小男孩肯定回答“是的，我做了一切我能做的事情”，故选D。

【5】主旨大意题。根据It is important to know when to ask for help and understand why you need it. Never be afraid to ask others for help when you’re in trouble知道什么时候寻求帮助，理解为什么需要帮助是很重要的。当你遇到困难时，不要害怕向别人求助可知，当你需要帮助时，寻求帮助很重要，故选D。

细节理解题是考试时经常考查的一个题型。做细节理解题时，首先要先读题干，划题干中的关键词，再根据关键词定位至文中即可找到正确答案。例如第1题。关键词为move away，定位至One day, when he was doing cleaning at home, he thought he should move the box out of the house可知，一天他在打扫卫生时，他认为他应该将箱子搬出家门。所以小男孩想要将箱子搬出去，故选B。
