【分析】
本题为英语阅读理解题，需先通读短文把握主旨，再针对每小题定位原文信息，结合语境分析选项得出答案。具体思路：1. 代词指代题，需找前文对应动作；2. 句子填空题，需结合后文内容匹配段落核心；3. 段落主旨题，需提炼段落核心信息；4. 写作对象题，需从原文表述判断受众；5. 文章结构题，需梳理各段落功能确定结构。
【解析】
1. 第1题：定位第二段，前文提到“Take a shower. Let children take a shower before they go to bed. This can help them have a good sleep...”，此处“This”指代前文的“Take a shower”，故选A。
2. 第2题：第三段后文明确“So let children go to bed before 9:30 p.m. They should sleep for about nine hours every night”，核心是让孩子早睡，对应选项C“早点睡觉”，故选C。
3. 第3题：第五段围绕早餐展开，提到“Breakfast can help children think well. Also, having a good breakfast is very good for their health”，核心是说明早餐对孩子的重要性，故选A。
4. 第4题：第一段“Parents should do something to help children get to school on time”，表明写作对象是父母，故选B。
5. 第5题：梳理段落结构：第一段总起（父母需帮孩子按时到校），第二至第五段分述具体方法，第六段总结（遵循方法更易让孩子按时到校），为“总—分—总”结构，对应选项D，故选D。
