　　答案分析]

　　1. 在文章的第一段的第一句里可以找到依据。at the age of seven 等于when he was seven，故正确答案为 A 。

　　2.这一题可以在第一段里直接找到答案，属于直接回答题。正确答案为 B。

　　3.这一题可以在第二段里直接找到答案，属于直接回答题。正确答案为 C。

　　4.在文章的最后一段提到了扑灭火的最好方法，那就是使火加速燃烧。正确答案为 B。

　　5.完成这道题需作一定的归纳，因为文章中没有给出直接的回答。文章从Mr Brown两次看火，然后说出地下火的危害，最后提出如何灭火的方法。文章的前两段是给为什么要灭火和如何灭火铺垫，如何灭火才是文章的中心。故正确答案为 B。
