答案：B;D;C;B;D
解析：

　　1．B（推理判斷題．根據(jù)短文第四段中Sometimes when Bill was ill，his elder brother had to send the newspapers．Once Bill's father had to help him．可以判斷出，比爾生了重病就不能做兼職工作了．）

　　2．D（綜合分析判斷題．短文第四段敘述了比爾送報每月可收入70美元，他正在為上大學攢錢，他用其余的錢買磁帶和衣服．短文尾段還敘述了他希望當一個優(yōu)秀送報員得到獎賞去歐洲旅行等．因此可判斷出，比爾的兼職工作使他能夠得到當時所需要的許多東西．）

　　3．C（細節(jié)題．短文第三段中His customers thought he did a good job．Sometimes they gave him tips．說明，訂戶之所以給他小費是因為他工作得非常出色．）

　　4．B（推理判斷題．短文第三段詳細描述了比爾的兼職工作情況，當他起床時天依然很黑，在各種各樣的天氣組他都把報紙送到訂戶手里，訂戶認為他工作很出色并給他小費．因此，可推斷出，訂戶喜歡為他們勤奮工作的人．）

　　5．D（細節(jié)題．根據(jù)短文最后一段中Perhaps Bill could win a prize for being a very good newspaper boy，he wanted to win a visit to Europe，but he would be happy if he won a new bike．可以看出，作為一個送報員，工作干得很出色就會得到參觀某地或一輛自行車的獎賞．）
