【解析】

试题分析：在美国，不同年龄段的儿童有不同的杂活。他们认为培养孩子的家庭责任感很重要。

【1】A细节信息题。根据文章第一句“In America, there are chores(杂活) for children of different ages.”可知，在美国，不同年龄段的儿童有不同的杂活。后面列举了不同年龄段孩子们的具体任务。因此全文讨论的是美国的儿童。故选A。

【2】C细节信息题。文章第二句话说“美国人认为告诉孩子们的家庭责任很重要。”，由此可知应选C。

【3】B细节信息题。根据表格得知，4到6岁的孩子们的家庭责任是“Make their bed; Clear dishes from the table; Set the table; Get the mail from the mailbox;”，那么5岁的Tom应该做的是“set the table”。故选B。

【4】D推理判断题。根据文意可知孩子们应该帮助父母做家务，A表述正确。根据表格得知，8岁的孩子可以做简单的食物，11岁的孩子可以扔垃圾，B和C的表述正确。13岁以上的孩子可以擦窗户，并非“not be able to wash windows”，D表述错误。故选D

【5】B主旨大意题。文章用表格具体说明了在美国，不同年龄段的儿童的家庭任务是什么。故选B。
