【解析】

试题分析: 本文是一篇应用文。作者介绍了4则母亲节期间为母亲提供的礼物的广告。Gift No. I关注母亲的健康，作母亲的健康的朋友，陪母亲进行身体检查；Gift No. 2帮助母亲管理好医疗诊断记录，列一张药及喝药时间的清单；Gift No. 3充足的睡眠对健康很重要，给母亲买棉床单和舒适的枕头，让母亲睡眠更好；Gift No. 4给母亲买有创意的礼物，母亲节期间给母亲买礼物，价格的10%将捐助慈善机构。

1. No. I中的“Promise to be there for any and all doctor's visits whether a disease or a regular medical check-up.不管是疾病检查还是定期的医疗检查，你都一定要陪母亲看医生。” “Promise to be there”和选项B Be with her意思相近，可知选B。

2.细节理解题。由Gift No. 3中"Buy your mother cotton sheets and comfortable pillows to encourage better sleep, 给母亲买棉床单和舒适的枕头，让母亲睡眠更好，" 可知与本题题干关键词“improve your mother’s sleep”意思相符，其他选项不合题意，故选C。

3.细节理解题。由Gift No. 4中的最后一句“When your mother gets the gift, she will be told that she has helped the chosen charity.”可知当你母亲得到这件礼物的时候，她将被告知，她帮助了慈善机构。”与选项C意思相符，A、B两项偷梁换柱，D项无中生有。故选C。
