【解析】

试题分析：本文叙述了提前预订 “纯真年代”戏票的情况，短文介绍了可以通过个人亲自去买，或者打电话、邮寄或网上购买都行，并且说了各种情况的打折扣的情况。最后短文指出了我们不能交换票或退钱除非由于不可预见的情况发生了而取消了戏的演出。

1.推理判断题。根据in person The Box Office is open Monday to Saturday, 10 a. m. -8 p. m.可知周一到周六是可以的，但是周日不行。故选C。

2.细节理解题。根据Saver Savers are available for children up to 16 years old, and full-time students. 可知B项符合要求。故选B。

3.计算题。根据Group Bookings: there is a ten per cent discount for parties of twelve or more. 14个成年人一共140元，享受百分之10的优惠，应该是126元，所以选D。

4.计算题。根据school parties of ten or more can book ＄6 standby tickets in advance and will get every tenth ticket free. 因为有一个免费的，故不是＄90，故选A。

5.计算题。根据短文DISCOUNTS:的内容可知The standby tickets for school parties of ten or more.

这一项的花费较少，故选B。
