3.A

【解析】

试题解析：本文是一篇有关药品说明的说明文

1.C。细节理解题。据第二段Do not take more than six tablets in twenty-four hours. 和第三段  For children six to twelve years old, give half the amount.一般人在24小时以内服此药最多不能超过6片，

6-12之间的孩子

应减半，即最多应是3片。综合四个选项只有C适合。

2.D。细节理解题。短文最后一句说， Reduce the amount if you suffer from restlessness or sleeplessness after taking the medicine".若是服此药之后，睡不好觉，应减少药量(reduce the amount)，故选D。

3.A。推理判断题。若撇开第一自然段不看，那么此题选D也完全可以，但正因为有了第一自然段这个说明("你能读懂药瓶上的说明吗?你理解Take only as directed.的意思吗?读读下面的说明看看你是否能理解它们")，所以要选A
