试题分析：从文中举的两个例子来看，作者是想说明许多像牛顿、爱因斯坦这样的科学家都有细心和粗心的习惯．许多科学家不关心如何生活。这是因为他们太专注于自己的研究的缘故。
【小题1】前后联系，句意：细心和粗心就如水与火一样。但奇怪的是，许多科学家都有这方面的，即是，他们都是细心和粗心的。故选E。
【小题2】根据后面当他们准备吃的时候，牛顿去拿一瓶酒。前面应该是有一次，牛顿邀请朋友们来家里吃晚饭。故选B。
【小题3】根据上面介绍了吃饭的情况，后面讲述的是还有一次，牛顿牵着马手上握着缰绳。他边走，他一边想着他在研究中所遇到的问题。当他到达山顶，他发现缰绳不在他的手，马也不见了。故选A。
【小题4】前面介绍的是牛顿粗心和细心的情况，后面介绍的是爱因斯坦，所以爱因斯坦是另一个例子，故选D。
【小题5】前面提到开始下雨，雨一直持续一段时间。故选C。
