【解析】

本文介绍了一个牛仔在一个酒吧喝了酒后，发现他的马不见了。他回到酒吧说，如果在五分钟后，他的马没有在原来的地方，他就在这里做在德克萨斯州做的事。当他又喝了两瓶啤酒后，他发现他的马回来。酒吧老板问他在德克萨斯州做了什么，他说丢了马，走回家。

【1】句意：他决定停下来喝几杯。

根据后句“Then he tied his horse outside the bar, walked into the bar and ordered two bottles of beer. 然后他把马拴在酒吧外面，走进酒吧点了两瓶啤酒。” 可知，前句讲的是决定去酒吧喝酒。故选C。

【2】句意：他环顾四周，注意到有人向他做鬼脸。

根据后句“He guessed that they might play some tricks on him, 他猜他们可能会捉弄他”，结合选项可知，前句讲的是有人向他做鬼脸。故选A。

【3】句意：但我不想做我在德州做的事！

根据前句“And by then if my horse isn’t back, I will have to do here what I did in Texas! 到那时，如果我的马还没回来，我就得在这里做我在德州做的事”，结合选项可知，后句是讲他不想做在德州做的事。故选B。

【4】句意：五分钟后，他走出去，发现他的马在那里。

根据后句“He was very happy. 他很高兴。”可知前句讲的是，他的马回来了。故选E。

【5】句意：我不得不步行回家！

根据前句“the boss of the bar came up and a… cowboy turned to the boss and replied in a low voice, 酒吧老板走过来问他在德州做了什么。牛仔转身对老板低声说”可知，后句讲的是他在德州做的事。故选D。

根据题干要求，在文中寻找句子所在的段落位置，首先进行分析理解，推理判断，词义辨析和概括归纳，然后选出正确的选项。例如小题2，根据后句“He guessed that they might play some tricks on him, 他猜他们可能会捉弄他”，结合选项可知，前句讲的是有人向他做鬼脸。故选A。
