1. answer should be 'don't you'. Unless the first part read 'You've come from China' in which case 'haven't you' would be correct.

Thank you.
How would be sure that in No. 5, the contraction is "would" and not "had"? i think both sentences would make sense.
He had rather go home. -- it could mean that he decided or was pushed indirectly to go home (has the sense of involuntary nature).
He would rather go home. -- I think it probable means that he somewhat made his mind to go home (on his own will)
