試題分析：文章講述了一個人在等車時，由于沒有地方坐，他去咖啡館坐了一會，在這期間他從鏡子里看表，最后耽誤了搭車的故事。
小題1:細節理解題。根據短文第一段最后一句Tom looked around but there was no place for him to sit的描述可知，Tom進入車站咖啡廳的原因是他找不到可坐的座位。故應選B。
小題2:判斷推理題。根據常識可知，（自己畫個表，反過來就行，在鏡子里左右反，上下不反）所以選A。
小題3:判斷推理題。根據twenty to twelve和Half past twelve可以知道鏡子里的時間慢，所以選C。
小題4:細節理解題。根據最后一段最后一句Since then Tom has never liked mirrors的描述可知，Tom只在鏡子里看過一次時鐘。故應選B
小題5:細節理解題。聯系上下文，本文主要講述在鏡子里看錯表，從而導致耽誤了搭車的故事，可知應選C。
