这篇短文给我们讲述了毛遂自荐、立木取信以及入木三分这三个成语的由来，讲述了这几个成语背后的历史故事。

【1】细节理解题。根据第一篇故事Zhao needed some talented people to ask for help from Chu. Then Mao Sui﹣the man who believed he was the right person for this task came and recommended （推荐）himself可知，赵国需要一些有才华的人，于是来向楚国求援，毛遂认为自己是这项任务的合适人选，所以他来推荐自己。由此可知毛遂是赵国人，故选B。

【2】细节理解题。根据第二篇故事After that, the people of Qin believed Shang was a man of his word. So they all followed Shang's new laws later可知，之后，秦国人民相信商鞅是一个可以相信的人，所以后来他们都遵守了商的新法律，由此可知选A。

【3】细节理解题。根据第三篇故事最后一句Now "Ru Mu San Fen" is often used to describe sharp ideas or useful views可知， 现在，“入木三分”经常被用来形容尖锐的想法或有用的观点。由此可知应选B。
