【解析】

這是一篇廣告。介紹了“Five Element Constitutional Acupuncture（針灸）”這本書的具體信息和亮點。

【1】推理判斷題。本文為廣告，有這本書的總體介紹和亮點說明，目的是說服人們去購買此書籍。故A選項正確。

【2】細節(jié)理解題。根據文章最后“Two-color format makes the text visually appealing”可知，讀了這本書的人會覺得它在視覺上很吸引人，因為這本書在印刷方面有兩種顏色。故B選項正確。

【3】細節(jié)理解題。由“Regular Price：$69．95 AAMA Practice Member Price：$59．45”可知，Jack以會員價買了10本書的價格為：$59．45×10=$594.5。如果以正常價買了10本書的價格為：$69．95×10=$699.5。價格差為：$699.5-$594.5=$105。故B選項正確。

根據短文的體裁是推理判斷題的重要解題方法之一。通讀短文可知，短文為廣告，廣告的目的就是激發(fā)需求，增加銷售。所以我們判斷出短文主要的目的就是為了說服人們去購買書籍。故A選項為小題1的正確選項。
