解析：本文描述Smith先生在机场因为和朋友Jack打招呼“‘Hi, Jack! ”被警察误认为是hijack而被捕的故事。
【小题1】B 细节题。根据文章第一句Mrs Smith's husband went off on a business trip to Australia.可知他要去出差。故B正确。
【小题2】C 细节题。根据文章第一段2，3行She was very surprised when he telephoned her at 5 o'clock and said that he was still at the airport.可知她惊讶的原因是他还在机场，没有离开。故C正确。
【小题3】D 细节题。根据第三段最后一句Jack was an airplane engineer. I shouted to him and a policeman caught me.可知是警察抓住了他。所以他才没有办法离开。故D正确。
【小题4】D 细节题。根据文章倒数2,3段Why did he catch you?
I don't know, said Mr Smith, All I said was ‘Hi, Jack! '
可知他不知道警察为什么要抓住他。故D项说法错误，符合要求。
【小题5】C 细节题。根据文章最后2行All I said was ‘Hi, Jack! '
The word hijack means to take control of a plane by force.
可知hijack是指劫机。故C正确。
