5.F。根据“Using before Oct. 2004”一句可知，本药品的有效期是截止到2004年10月，不难判断出所给句子是错误的。

　Passage 3

　Dear sir,

　Just over six months ago, I saw an advertisement in a morning newspaper for a set of the complete works (全集) of William Shakespeare. Your company offered this set at a low price: 15pounds and 50 pence. I had wanted a set of Shakespeare’s plays and poems for some time, so I sent for them.

　Two weeks later, the books arrived, together with a set of the works of Charles Dickens that I had not wanted. So I returned the Dickens’ books to you. Two more weeks passed. Then there arrived a second set of books and a set of the plays of Moliere, in French. I do not read French, and they were not useful at all, so I wrote to you.

　You did not answer that letter. Instead you sent me a bill for 42 pounds and a set of the plays of Schiller, in German. I have no room for any more books, and I have no time to read them all.

　Please send no more books, no more bills and no more angry letters for payment. Just send one large truck and take all the books away, leaving me only with the one set of the works of Shakespeare for which I have paid.

　Yours,

　Simon Walker

4.F.这句话的意思是说“五岁的孩子不能服用这种药”。而说明中明明有“四至七岁的小孩每次服用1/2调羹”(4-7 yrs. 1/2 spoon)。因此，这个句子是错误的。

3.T.“Store in a cold place”是解题的依据。

2.T.由“Take three times a day after meals”这句话，可知此药须在饭后服用，故Tom服药前最好吃些东西。

1.T.本题看似简单，实则需要细心推算才能判断答案。药品说明第一句话是说这种药每天服用三次。前文中说Tom是一个十一岁的孩子，根据说明中的“Children: 8-14 yrs. One spoon, 4-7 yrs. 1/2 spoon”这一句提供的信息，可知他每次只能一调羹。所以，Tom每天应当服用三调羹。

5.From this instruction we know Tom can go on using the left medicine after Oct. 2004.

　[解题思路点拨]能读懂日常生活中的一些常见英文标志和说明，是初中学生所必须达到的一项能力。在这则咳嗽药说明书中，涉及了药品的服用量，适宜人群及贮存和使用期限等。

4.Children aged five can’t take this medicine.

3.The medicine can be kept in a fridge.

2.Tom had better have his meals before he takes the medicine.

1.Tom should take three spoons in a day.
