解析

试题分析：本文讲述的是我的邻居的母亲喜欢买便宜的东西，所以我的邻居为了满足她，故意让老板把价格说低一些。没有想到他的母亲介绍她的朋友来这家店里买东西，让店主很无奈。
小题1:B 细节题。根据文章第一句A neighbor of mine, while visiting his mother in Boston, took her to a shoe store to buy a new pair of shoes.可知他是去波士顿看望他的妈妈的，故B正确。
小题2:C 推理题。根据文章最后一段“That’s not it,” answered the manager, “The problem is that your mother is bringing all her friends in for those 12-dollar shoes!”可知这双鞋不仅12美元，他的母亲觉得很便宜，就带领别人都来买了。故C正确。
小题3:A 推理题。根据第一段后3行“When she picks out a pair that she likes,” he said, “Just tell her that the price is 12 dollars. I’ll pay the regular(正常的)price. I don’t care how much it is.”
可知他这样做是为了让妈妈很开心，让她感觉到自己买到了便宜货。故A正确。
小题4:D 推理题。根据文章最后一段“That’s not it,” answered the manager, “The problem is that your mother is bringing all her friends in for those 12-dollar shoes!”作者邻居的妈妈带来的人太多了，让老板感觉没有办法满足他们的要求。故D正确。
小题5:B 推理题。根据文章第一段可知作者故意让老板把价格说低，正是因为他的母亲喜欢买便宜的东西。故B正确。
