小题1:细节题。be as careful as possible尽可能小心；be as long as an arm一臂之长；be as near as possible尽可能接近；be as faraway as possible尽可能远的。文中强调的是距离，故选D。
根据第一段第二句“He was severely disabled and very short”，他身体严重残疾而且身材很矮，可知选C。
小题2:细节题。根据$295 for up to 10 children,$10 each additional child10个孩子295美元，每增加一个孩子10美元，故12个孩子315美元，故选B。
小题3:细节题。根据 the first hour the group create their art project,第一个小时团队创作他们的艺术作品，故选C。
小题4:推断题.A项你可以安排你方便的时间，由文中幼儿园生日聚会在星期六中午12点到下午4点钟举行可知A错误；B项这些聚会的人数是有限的，最后一个聚会收费中10个人250美元，每加一人15美元，不限人数，故B是错误的；C项参加生日聚会时你不需要带东西，文中在一书店生日聚会中你需要带蛋糕，故C是错误的；D项所有的这些生日聚会都有一个中心主题，文中4 个聚会有4个主题，可知D是正确。故选D。
