【解析】

本文讲述了一个不诚实的艾伦的故事。两年前艾伦去英国学习。他在一家餐馆找到了一份兼职工作。他工作是洗碗。老板让他把每个碗洗七遍。开始时，艾伦很认真。老板对他很满意。一个月后，他发现老板不经常检查。他认为五次和七次没有区别。所以他只洗了五次。他工作很快。老板甚至更高兴了。一天，一个学生问他为什么洗得这么快。艾伦把秘密告诉了他。那个学生很惊讶，但什么也没说。几天后他把这事告诉了老板。老板解雇了艾伦。艾伦去了其他餐馆，但他们都说：“走开！你不诚实。我们不需要你。”艾伦很伤心，因为他什么都做不了。

【1】句意：艾伦两年前去印度学习。考查细节理解判断题。根据第1段第1句Alan , a boy from India went to study in the UK two years ago.（艾伦，一个来自印度的男孩两年前去英国学习。）可知此句是错误的，是去英国学习，不是去印度。故答案是B。

【2】句意：老板叫艾伦洗盘子洗七遍。考查细节理解判断题。根据第1段第5句It was an easy job , but the boss said , “You must wash every dish seven times.”（这是一项简单的工作，但老板说，“你必须把每个盘子洗七遍。”）可知此句是正确的。故答案是A。

【3】句意：起初，老板对艾伦很满意。考查细节理解判断题。根据第1段第6和7句At first , Alan was careful. The boss was happy with him.（起初，艾伦很小心。老板对他很满意。）可知此句是正确的。故答案是A。

【4】句意：那个英国学生什么也没对老板说。考查细节理解判断题。根据第1段倒数第2句A few days later he told the boss about it.（几天后他把这事告诉了老板。）可知此句是错误的。故答案是B。

【5】句意：事实上，艾伦很诚实。考查细节理解判断题。根据短文描述可知，老板让艾伦洗盘子洗7遍，刚开始时艾伦洗7遍，后来自己偷偷地洗5遍。可知艾伦不诚实。故此句是错误的。答案是B。
