3.细节理解题。这个题目问我们第三段的主要内容是什么，因此我们仔细阅读第三段的内容可知，这一段这个书家具的设计者给我们讲述了他如何有了这个想法，想要设计这样一个不占空间的家具的。由此可知应选A。

4.推理判断题。根据短文的开头…designer in Hong Kong has invented a special book可知，这个设计者是香港的，不是美国的，故A不对；根据文意可知，这里只提到了一个设计者，故B不对；根据短文第三段中"I love having friends at my place,可知，这个设计者喜欢邀请朋友们来家里，故C是正确的；根据"I love having friends at my place, but I have never had enough seats for everyone可知，设计者喜欢邀请朋友来家里，但是没有足够的座位。故D不对。
