【解析】文章大意：短文主要介绍了作者班里的孩子们正在做一个实验，他们想证明不需要花钱就可以去玩。他们一个星期都不买任何东西还特意做了一些"免费的"T恤衫，把攒下的钱都捐给慈善机构了。作者还列举了他们五天的具体活动。

【1】根据下面列举的五天的活动内容可知，孩子们计划五天不花钱，把攒下的钱捐给慈善机构，这里应该填"继续读这个博客，看看它是如何运行的！"，答案选B。

【2】根据上句I went with my friend Rachel…it started raining(我和我朋友瑞秋去…天开始下雨了)及下句Rachel wanted to cheat and get the bus，but I didn't let her!(瑞秋想作弊上车，但我没让她)可知，中间应该是"其他人去了一家咖啡馆，我们不得不步行回家！"答案选C。

【3】根据上句He managed to fix my computer and I lent him some DVDs that he wanted to borrow (他设法修好了我的电脑，我借给他一些他想借的DVD)可知，电脑坏了Jake来修了，没要钱只是借了DVD，因此下句应该是"我们都很快乐，但却没有付出任何代价。"，答案选A。

【4】根据下句If they're in good condition，second﹣hand book shops will give you cash or other books for them!(如果他们状况良好，二手书店会给你现金或其他书籍！)可知，这里说的是旧书，上句填"我的是：不要扔掉你的旧书"，答案选D。

【5】根据上句The answer﹣﹣a clothes swapping party!(答案﹣﹣﹣换衣服的聚会)可知，下句应该是"每个人都有他们不再穿的东西，但是其他人可能会喜欢。"，答案选E。
