试题分析：文章讲述了一个有趣的小故事，告诫人们做任何事情以前要认真思考，把握好时机，不要错过机遇而后悔。
【小题1】C细节理解题。根据第六段最后一句The cake was still stuck to the husband’s nose.句意是：蛋糕仍然在她丈夫的鼻子上。所以她的丈夫和她争吵，故选C
【小题2】A细节理解题。根据文章第二段第一句The man had just finished eating a piece of bread for his dinner, but he was still hungry.这个男士用餐时刚刚吃过一块面包，但他仍然很饿。所以A项“这位男士吃饭前实现了他的愿望。”这一陈述是错的，故选A
【小题3】B推理判断题。根据句意老夫人许诺的三个愿望都已实现：Suddenly a cake appeared on his plate.突然一块蛋糕出现在他的盘子里。Immediately the cake stuck to the end of his nose. 蛋糕立即粘到他的鼻子上。Immediately the cake was gone蛋糕立刻从鼻子上下来了。也就是说他们已经用完了三个愿望，这已经是第四个愿望了，所以老夫人没有满足男士的愿望。故选B
