试题分析：这篇文章主要讲的是约翰感冒了，医生给他开了一些感冒药，并提供了一份关于感冒药的说明书。

1.B考查细节理解题。据文章第一句John is twelve years old. 和表格中Take it three times each day before meals. 8—13 1 teaspoonful 。约翰12岁了。一天三次，8到13岁喝一次一勺。 所以，约翰应该一天喝三勺。故选B。

2.A考查细节理解题。根据表格中Shake it well before use.可知选A。

3.C考查细节理解题。根据表格中最后一项Not right for children below the age of three.三岁以下的儿童不适合这种药。故选C
