【解析】

Brown夫妇的儿子身体不舒服，他们带着他去看医生，医生给他做了检查，并给他开了一些药，短文中还用表格列出了药品的说明书。

1.推理判断题。根据短文开头Mr. Brown’s son called him from No.1 Middle School last night.可知，Brown先生的儿子在第一中学读书，是一名中学生，因此不可能是5岁、8岁或者30岁，13岁比较合理。故选C。

2.细节理解题。根据短文第一段中He drove to the school with his wife at once可知，Brown先生开车去了学校。故应选B。

3.细节理解题。根据短文第一段中The doctor took his son’s temperature. It was nearly 39℃可知，医生给Brown先生的儿子量了体温，将近39度，所以他的儿子发烧了。故应选A。

4.细节理解题。根据表格中所列的年龄段以及服用的剂量Take it three times every day after each meal可知，10岁的孩子属于5-11这个阶段，一次吃半片，一天吃三次，所以是一片半，故应选A。

5.推理判断题。根据短文的最后Use it before November 1st, 2019可知，药品应在2019年11月1日之前服用，C选项是2019年10月份，在这个保质期之内，可以服用，故C是正确的，D选项是2019年12月，已经过了保质期，故不对。根据Take it three times every day after each meal.可知应在饭后服用，故A不对；根据Not suitable (适合的) for children under the age of five.可知，这个药品不适合5岁以下的孩子，故B不对。
