【解析】

試題分析：本文敘述了Joe Bloggs抽煙很厲害，F(xiàn)red讓他不抽煙。他就開始吃巧克力，結果很胖。然后他又開始抽煙。

1. 細節(jié)題。根據第二段第二句When Joe heard this , he started to worry and became so thin that he went to Fred for help可知第一次變瘦是因為他很擔心。故B正確。

2. 細節(jié)題。根據文章內容可知首先他抽煙，沒有吃巧克力。聽了Fred的話，不抽煙了，但是開始吃巧克力，但是變胖了，所以又抽煙不吃巧克力了。所以D項正確。

3. 推理題。根據文章最后一句Sometimes Joe Bloggs wished Fred Brown was not his friend!實際上他沒有理解Fred對他說的話，F(xiàn)red要求他有健康的生活方式，但是他理解錯誤。故C正確。

4. 推理題。Joe Bloggs總是聽從Fred的話而沒有自己的判斷，總是感覺朋友的話似乎很有點道理，缺乏自己的思考。所以作者想告訴我們要自己思考并做出決定。故D正確。
