【解析】

这是一篇说明文。文章为一篇《读者文摘》发起了2018百字故事大赛说明，说明了参加规则和条件等情况。

【1】推理判断题。根据The Rules部分中Entry is open only to people living in the UK. It is not open to employees of Reader’s Digest and all others associated with this competition, their immediate families and relatives living in an employee’s household.可知比赛仅限居住在英国的人。它不向《读者文摘》的员工和所有其他与此竞赛有关的人、他们的直系亲属和住在雇员家里的亲戚开放。分析选项可推知，A选项“一个20岁的英国人” 可以参加故事比赛。故选A。

【2】细节理解题。根据Terms and Conditions部分中In the adults category, the winner will receive￡1,000 and two runners-up will each receive￡250.可知在成人组，获胜者将获得1000英镑，两名亚军每人将获得250英镑。由此可知，250英镑会被授予成人组的亚军。故选D。

【3】细节理解题。根据最后一段中The three best stories in each category will be posted on-line at readersdigest.co.uk on February 27.可知每一类中最好的三篇文章将于2月27日在readersdigest.co.uk网站上发布。由此可知，每个类别中三个最好的故事将在网站上发布。故选C。
