解析试题分析：这篇短文通过表格的形式比较了城市里的孩子和乡村里的孩子在上学的方式、教具、视力、课外活动、家庭作业、杂事、家人及梦想等方面的相同和不同之处。
【小题1】细节理解题。根据文章的开头some children live in the countryside, and some live in the city，一些孩子住在农村，一些孩子住在城市，可知这里比较的是孩子，即学生的各方面不同的情况。由表格中的比较内容我们也可以看出这里在比较的是学生，故选B。
【小题2】细节理解题。根据表格中chores to do 这一栏，我们可以看到城市里的孩子Usually no chores，通常不做杂事，这里的杂事指的就是家务活，故城市里的孩子通常不做家务活。故选D。
【小题3】细节理解题。这一题目考查的是eyesight 这一项的内容，通过浏览表格我们可知农村的孩子Less than 45% are near-sighted，不到45%的学生近视；而城市里的孩子About 75% are near-sighted 大约75%的学生近视，那么由此我们可以知道农村中视力好的学生应是55%，而城市中是25%。故选A。
【小题4】细节理解题。这一题问的是文中没有提到的是哪个，纵观表格中的这些比较项目我们可以发现，homework、dream jobs、after-class activities都提到了，唯有subjects 科目，没有提到，故选B。
【小题5】推理判断题。根据文中homework 这一栏中城市的孩子Homework never ends，家庭作业永远不会停止可知，对于城市里的孩子来说家庭作业是非常多的。故C这个选项的描述是正确的。A、B两项文中并没有提到；D选项的表达和原文城市中的孩子经常有Small families，小家庭是不符的，故D也不对。选C。
