小题1:C 推理判断题。根据题目中how many books are written by判断，应该到文章里去找作者。第一本书Money and Happiness 的描述里有She offers insight that every reader can use to make smarter decisions…可以判断作者Laura Rowley为女性。第二本书The Happiness Makeover 的描述里有Ryan’s own desire to be happier first led(引领) her to study what is known about happiness… 可以判断作者M. J. Ryan为女性。另两本书看不出作者的性别，因此说至少有两本的作者为女性。
小题2:D细节理解题。根据题中model及health到文中去找信息源。第四段Dr Steven Hotze is leading a wellness revolution that advances a new model of health care.……正在率领一次推进卫生保健新模式的健康革命。四本书中只有这一本提到health,因此，就算不懂这一段中某些句子的意思，也可以确认答案为D。
小题3:C细节理解题。根据题中the author’s own need…happiness到文中去找信息源。第二段Ryan’s own desire to be happier first led(引领) her to study what is known about happiness…Ryan自己想要更加幸福的欲望引领她去研究……，由此可知答案为C。
