【解析】

这篇短文主要描述了威尔逊夫人的一次购物的经历。虽然超市的东西价格便宜，但是要算上车费，并不省钱。从而告诉我们一个一个道理，购物不能只看价格，还要综合考虑，才能真正省下钱。

【1】细节理解题，根据第二段第二句“Because they are cheaper here than at the corner store near our home，”因为这里比我们家附近的街角商店便宜。描述要比超市的便宜，故选C。

【2】细节理解题，根据第四段第二句“but we came home by taxi because we had too much to carry．The taxi fare was more than the money that you save!”但是我们坐出租车回家，因为我们有太多的东西要搬。出租车费比你省下来的钱还多！及下文描述，可知威尔逊夫人多花了钱，故选A。

【3】细节理解题，根据短文后两段Mrs．Wilson added everything up．Her children were right．描述，可知他的儿子很聪明。他说加上出租费用，也没省钱，故选B。

【4】细节理解题，结合“Next time we'll do the shopping nearby．”在威尔逊夫人知道自己去哪家商店购物不省钱后，可知他会在家附近购物，故选C。
