【3】D

【解析】

本文介紹了日本的“風(fēng)之電話”，它并不能真正通話，但人們可以通過它傾訴自己的情感，并和自己已經(jīng)離世的親人溝通和交流。

【1】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段“He placed the booth in his garden.”可知，這個電話亭坐落在他家的花園里，故選C。

【2】詞義猜測題。surprised驚奇的；excited激動的；sad難過的；relaxed放松的。根據(jù)下文“He would talk into thetelephone. It made him feel better.”可知，對著電話抒發(fā)感情會讓他感覺好多了，所以他進(jìn)電話亭之前心情一定是難過的，故選C。

【3】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)最后一段“It gives them chance to express their sadness.”可知，人們可以通過這個特殊的電話訴說自己的悲傷，故選D。
