问题补充：
Four friends live in a small town. Their names are Cook, Miller, Smith, and Carter. They have different jobs. One is a policeman, one is a carpenter（木匠）, one is a farmer, and one is a doctor. One day Cook’s son broke（折断） his right leg, and Cook took him to the doctor. The doctor’s sister is Smith’s wife. The farmer isn’t married(结婚). He has a lot of good hens. Miller always buys eggs from the farmer. The policeman sees Smith every day because they are neighbors（邻居）.

答案：
(答案→)C
解析：这篇短文中作者主要这是一篇推理性文章，要求根据所给出提示，猜出各自的职业。
【小题1】细节理解题。由于警察每天除看到 Smith 外，还看到 Miller，所以 Miller 不是警察。既然他不是警察，而且Smith 是木匠，Carter 是 farmer，故选C。
【小题2】细节理解题。根据短文Miller always buys eggs from the farmer（Miller经常从农民那儿买蛋）可知Miller不是农民，那么Miller只可能是doctor；故选A。
【小题3】细节理解题。由The doctors sister is Smiths wife.（医生的姐姐是Smith的妻子=医生不是Smith）The farmer isn married.（农民没有结婚=农民不是Smith，因为Smith有妻子）The policeman sees Smith every day.（警察天天看到Smith=警察不是Smith）此三句话可以确定carpenter是Smith；故选B。
【小题4】细节理解题。根据The policeman sees Smith every day because they are neighbors（邻居）.因为Cook肯定不是医生（他带儿子去看医生，自己当然不是医生啦），不是carpenter，更不会是农民（因为农民没结婚，而Cook有儿子），所以Cook是警察，由此可见史密斯的邻居是Cook；故选D。
【小题5】细节理解题。因为Cook肯定不是医生（他带儿子去看医生，自己当然不是医生啦），不是carpenter，更不会是农民（因为农民没结婚，而Cook有儿子），所以Cook是警察；故选A。
