【解析】

试题分析：这篇短文讲述的是Linda的15岁生日，她在家举行了一个晚会。她的父母帮助她准备了很多好吃的东西，Linda的朋友都祝她生日快乐，他们玩得非常开心。

1.B 根据短文的开头Linda was born(出生) in Paris on December 24, 1998. It was her fifteenth birthday yesterday可知，Linda出生在1998年12月24日，而昨天是她的15岁生日。由此可见今天是2013年12月25日。故这句话是不对的。

2.B 根据短文中Her parents were busy yesterday. But they got ready for(为......做好准备) the party可知，在Linda生日的那天，她的父母非常忙，为她的生日做准备，可见他们是在家。故这句话是错误的。

3.B 根据短文中They bought some fish, chicken, beef, vegetables, drinks and fruit可知，Linda的父母买了一些鱼肉、鸡肉、牛肉、蔬菜、饮料和水果。这句话的表述并不完整，故是错误的。

4.A 根据短文中Her parents could hear the children say “Happy birthday to you!” outside.可知，Linda的朋友都对Linda说：生日快乐。由此可知这句话是正确的。

5.根据短文第二段中It was seven fifteen and the party began可知，生日晚会是在7点15分开始的，这里说在6点15分，因此是错误的。
