试题分析：这篇短文主要是关于药品的说明。说明中包含了药品的服用次数，不同年龄的剂量，服用时间，保存方式以及有效期等。

1.判断推理题。根据文中John is twelve years old. John 12岁；Take it three times each day…一天三次，以及后面描述8-13岁，一次一勺子，所以John一天吃3勺，故选B。

2.细节理解题。根据文中最后一段Put it in a cold place.置于低温处，故选A，放在冰箱里。

3.细节理解题。文中描述Shake it well before using.服用前要摇晃，故选A

4.判断推理题。Not fit for children below the age of three or old persons with heart trouble.不适合3岁以下儿童或有心脏病的老人，故选C。

5.判断推理题。文中最后一句Use it before December 1^st, 2006.在2006年12月1日前服用。所以该日期后不能再服用，故选A，扔掉。
