答案与分析：
1、本文第一句就告诉读者：Mr Brown was born in a poor family.接下来讲，He couldn't go to school.。这就是说，Mr Brown 未能上学是因为他家境贫寒。因此，B应该是正确选项。
2、在文章中指出The boy likes nothing except playing.,这就阐明了他无法做作业的主要原因，致于其它原因都已成为次要的。那么，只有C才是最佳选项。
3、句子里有这么一句，Their son,Bill,began to go to school last year.，由此可以看出，Bill还不到十岁，象这么大的孩子哭泣大都是为一些小事，B，C，D三个选项显然与原文不符，只有D才合题意。
4、Mrs Brown掌握了Bill的特点，他不会做题，自然无法辨别他父亲做得是否正确，而且Mr Brown 本人也不会做，她要他那样做的目的自然是哄他了，选项D正确。
5、从文章内容来看，Mrs Brown自己不去帮Bill，而是让她丈夫去，由此可见，她自己也不懂数学。那么，D就是正确的选项了。
6、Mr Brown未上过学，能帮Bill做对题，其心情自然是选项B了。
